If these jets are narrow, and if the radiation is directed in the same direction as these jets (That's my understanding. Am I wrong?), how do we (1) see these jets in the first place and (2) if the answer is that we only see the ones pointed at us, how do we know they are (narrow) jets since we can't observe them from other angles?

> That's a solvable problem. It just requires the will to solve it and for whatever reason that is actually controversial in the US.

i wouldn't assume that's more controversial in the united states than in europe. but if you're assuming public policy responds to what ordinary people want or need, while i don't know about europe, i can say you're confused about how the united states works. the way we've gotten positive change is by being a threat to the minority of the opulent. we're not making much progress now because we've been defanged. the "political divisions" in the united states are just different approaches to coping with that fact.
Proof of Stake changes things to the point where mining is no longer really a good descriptor of what is going on behind the scenes.

Proof of Stake starts out with a large amount of coins being generated out of thin air. These are then distributed, and owners add nodes to the network by locking in a portion of their coins as their "stake".

The nodes perform transaction verification, and over time a reward block is built out of the transaction fees involved. This is awarded to a psuedorandomly selected node weighted by stake.

It was that 'carrying the family flag of engineering' thing. This notion that engineering was a safe bet and I should do it if I could. Very little to do with my actual interests. Not to say I don't enjoy electrical engineering. I just don't enjoy the work.

After creating many tools for the companies I worked for it became clear to myself that I should have done that in first place. My advice to you would be to take more CS classes to see if that's really what you want to do. A small price to pay now and will give you a better idea of what you want to do.

That being said, my experience (electric utility manufacturing, military truck electrical systems) was very valuable to my broader understanding of how software is consumed.
What we consider lower forms of life have been around a lot longer than us. Fungus predate plants and originally ate minerals. They created the soil for plants to even evolve. Plants evolved in an environment created and controlled by fungus. Many plants have a symbiotic relationship with fungus. Entire ecosystems are connected and communicate by a mycorrhizal network. We owe our entire existence to fungus.

My girlfriend recently enrolled in a university and one of the requirements was a certificate from one of the official places (TOEFL etc., I forget the rest). They exist just to leech money off non-native speakers. Anyone can pass an exam as long as they go to the right place and pay the fee, and besides, why do you need a long written and spoken test to test people's English? Someone's level of English is immediately obvious from even a brief conversation. If they can't speak it, they'll fail out after the first exams or learn it anyway.

I guess it bothers me even more as someone who wasn't born in an English speaking country but spoke it nearly exclusively after childhood. It's a common sentiment - one of my old history teachers lived in England for 20 or so years, and was asked if he can provide some proof he can speak English for his citizenship. How would someone live in the damn country for 20 years as a teacher and not be able to speak the language?

I agree; of course, entire networks are far more useful than individual apps running upon said networks.

It at least gets you in the same ballpark. I'm not allowed to hook a debugger up to anything in the staging environment, and it's not terribly fun to be stuck, for example, having to guess at how memory fences are behaving in production because all the machines where you can test things empirically have a different memory model.

Or, for example, there's one library I use that includes some inline assembly language routines. Which target SSE, not SVE. So, if we're targeting different ISAs, then my dev box isn't even executing the same code as what would be running in production.

That's what direct-to-individual programs are for, though. In Canada we had both types of programs. Businesses qualified for loans of up to $40k, a rent subsidy, and a wage subsidy that covered up to 75% of employee wages. In cases where that was insufficient and employees had to get laid off or significantly had their hours cut, it was backstopped with a program where individuals could apply for a $2000 per month subsidy by attesting they met a list of criteria. We've had a number of lockdowns but we rode through them by having both sets of measures.

My understanding is the US had similar programs to the former, but not like the latter. Other than a couple of general stimulus payments, increased unemployment benefits were delegated to state agencies, many of which were overwhelmed and weren't able to process unemployment in a timely manner.
Honestly we need the same for English.
esbuild does transpiling too, for example it can pull out typescript annotations or handle JSX transforms. It doesn't support transpiling down to ES5 though like swc. In general both tools are pretty similar, when you get down to it they're just a class of tool to take JS code, produce a AST, and then perform various transformations to the AST and write it back out as JS.
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to explain and critique my solution.

Another trick is to use sharp metal utensils. If you use wood it will just smear stuff on the pan, not helping at all.

By complete accident my spatula is also from DeBuyer (https://www.debuyer.com/en/flexible-turner-slotted-fkofficiu...). It is very sharp and it easily scrapes anything that dares to stick (due to my mistake of not getting it hot enough), without smearing it.
For me, the Leica Q camera. I've fallen in and out of love with photography over the years and it (along with a toddler who makes for a great subject) has certainly rekindled things for me.

I took a (film) photography course as a teen that initially sparked this interest, and received a secondhand Canon AE-1 film SLR camera as a gift from a relative. I had fun experimenting with this for a while, but when I went to college, I guess it didn't make the cut of things to bring with me.

While I was in college, I was somewhat aware that digital photography was emerging, but it was expensive and I was broke, so the photo thing was just shelved for a while. A couple years out of college, digital camera prices had come down and I had a good job so I treated myself to a Canon Rebel XT digital SLR. Having infinite film was amazing for experimentation and I got really into nature photography for a while.

Then, like everyone else, the camera that was always in my pocket (attached to my smartphone) improved to the point that I didn't find myself reaching for a dedicated camera very often. I got a Sony and then a Fuji mirrorless camera with the goal of getting something smaller than the SLR that would still produce noticeably better photos than the smartphone. They did, but I still didn't find myself using them often, and I sold them off.

Then, I guess it was 2016, I read Craig Mod's review of the Leica Q camera[0]. I become borderline obsessed. His description of "delight" in using the camera's controls nailed something that I hadn't previously known I was missing from the mirrorless models I'd tried. I wanted the Leica Q, but at a price of over $4,000, that was just a non-starter. I'd check in on prices of new and used Q's periodically, but couldn't justify it for a long time. Finally in 2019, two things happened: Leica introduced a refreshed Q2, and my first child was born. This dropped the price of used Q models and increased my willingness to treat myself to one nice thing while the rest of my life seemed to revolve around keeping a tiny human alive. I snagged a used Leica Q for $2,200, telling myself, "well, if I don't love it, I can probably resell it for about the same".

I think that was the last time I thought about selling it. The camera, as described by Craig Mod, is a delight. Making wonderful photos of my child is too. Maybe there's a psychological aspect here too as the camera was a big gift to myself at a difficult time.

I wouldn't recommend that most people buy a Leica Q (or Q2). They're ridiculously expensive and you can't even change the lens on it. But for a handful of folks like me, who enjoy doing mostly-manual photography with great controls and image quality, it just might be worth it.

> But scientists generally prefer not to share. Data, after all, is a kind of currency: it helps generate findings, which lead to jobs, money, and professional recognition. Researchers are loath to simply give away a commodity they worked hard to acquire.

I dare say this is true in neuroscience, but it is not generally true across the sciences. In linguistics and bioinformatics, assembling and publishing a high quality, frequently utilised corpus is prestigious.

One of the foundational values of distrikt is that user privacy and user sovereignty is a priority!

distrikt users will not BE the product and will not have to pay with their data to use the platform. They will have a say regarding the governance of distrikt and its future development and will own their identity and information.

distrikt will be a strong, user-centric alternative to the status quo that treats the user as an active stakeholder.
And the fame associated with these names was only possible because they canes from a small indie group that broke through to the mainstream so massively successful that I can't think of any other example on that scale in the last decade.

The problem here is that to someone from the outside, it's not obvious what 'the real thing' is.

For example, I have many times fallen into the trap of building something I thought was awesome and would sell well, only to find then that nobody wants to buy it.

I thought I was doing the real thing (building something), when in reality I should've talked to customers, or built an audience.

Actually, I'm still not 100% sure what constitutes as 'the real thing' in the kind of business I'm trying to build (creating educational technical content).
You're heavily downgrading the dark side of the web. Bitcoin is heaven for them.
Heat capacity is not a straight win, it's a double edged sword. Like you said temp drops less when food goes in, and that can be great in certain applications. However, you also lose a lot in the way of temperature control. The slow rate at which it heats up and cools down means finer temperature adjustments are much harder to do.

In my experience the searing/frying performance of carbon steel is not an issue for the overwhelming majority of things I cook, ergo I don't really care that cast iron has a higher capacity. The tighter temperature control, on the other hand, is always nice.

I still use my cast irons sometimes for things where that heat capacity is really nice (searing a huge steak or something like that), but I use carbon steel much more frequently.

I gotcha. Honestly, I mostly like deglazing in stainless steel because I can see what I'm doing. I can tell I've scraped the brown off. And I prefer deglazing in stainless to enameled, because it feels like less effort.

I'm not super careful about not using acidic things in cast iron, and I do deglaze in it on occasion, it's just a little harder imho. I can see how my original comment reads.

I think you are arguing for the sake of arguing.
In case it wasn't clear (I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but maybe I missed it), it's not that "periphery" is overly-detailed, it's just an overly-formal, uncommon word. I think the more common phrase would be "move the burgers to the side of the barbecue". "Edge" might also be used too, which is probably a little clearer.
Grandparents can be occasional babysitter, but not daily childcare provider.

Exactly. The concept of money is a shared belief ("fiction") that we all basically agree on. Bitcoin and crypto in general are shaking the foundations of these beliefs.

It’s possible to achieve good deliverability with some effort. Proper SMTP config and a “clean” dedicated IP from a host with no history of spamming.

I don't think that's true. Small business usually have less salaries because there is no corporate overhead and a big part of the staff is the owners who are not paid through salaries but dividends. Also small business often pay more than big corporation for low level jobs because they cannot afford the same turnover, and salary increases tend to be proportionally higher for the very lowest salaries than those just above (you go from 10 to 12 for instance, but only from 12 to 14 which is relatively smaller increase).
