Articles like this are probably planted by an industry group. The article mentions that the species was never lost because samples are held in labs, so there really isn't any news content here. What is probably going on is that coffee prices have been in a long term slump, producers are barely making money on arabica beans, and they want to introduce a cheaper variety that isn't low-margin robusta in order to survive as the low prices persist.
Except that uses far more measuring dishes and counter space. Instead, put the final bowl on a scale, add each ingredient one at a time, and zero the scale in-between. I might pull the ingredients out ahead of time, but unless you're in a commercial kitchen, there's no real point in pre-measuring everything.
What are you talking about? Do you believe that impoverished neighborhoods which are underserved by grocery stores ("food deserts", a real phenomenon) drove them away because residents shoplifted from them too much, or something?
I remember getting trapped by bullies inside a cone made of concrete at an industrial site along the railroad tracks 50 years ago. They were threatening to kill me and given the remoteness of the site and the fact that these kids often killed animals it was plausible. I climbed up, hung from the edge, and let myself fall, hurt my ankle, and then ran. Is that what you want for your kids?
iPad has some good tools for content creation. Procreate for example is probably one of the best drawing tools available at the moment.

But these apps are still largely islands. Powerful pro workflows require multiple applications to be used together in interesting ways. With iPad that's impossible. You have an anemic file system, and strict limitations on what an app can do.

What I want is a proper *Nix layer, like I have on macOS. For instance, if I want to synchronize my files across multiple systems, I need my iPad app to have a built-in solution for that. I want to be able to run a daemon in the background to synchronize my creative work with an S3 bucket using a custom protocol of my choosing. That kind of customizability is just not possible on iPad, and it's a huge limitation.
Sounds scaringly similar to the ludicrous mass redundancies imposed on the pure mathematics department at the University of Leicester, in order to create funds for AI.

And pray tell on what foundations the field of machine learning and AI is built on?

I find the blind show-me-the-money approach to funding research is baffling, in light of evidence about how research in fields/subjects such as neural networks[1] and mRNA[2] that fell out of favour for many years were eventually proven to be valid and of tremendous use.

The Perl standard for cheap hosts was Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm (HTML::Mason required mod_perl for decent performance) but it was constantly subject to patches as the whole internet poked it to find holes. It taught me just how difficult it can be to get HTTP/CGI parsing correct and secure. I mean there were some pretty sharp people in the Perl community working on CGI.pm but you always knew another security hole was just round the corner. To some extent PHP sidestepped these issues which may be why it took off so quickly.
> and the user did not specify any library to include that provided a definition of write()

Ah. I had assumed that that was implicit in "using write(2)", but seems that was a bad assumption.

> there is also the concept of libraries, somewhat different from how the standard describes it

In what way?

You make an interesting point with the example. It's not something I had considered before. Would weak linkage (or a similar mechanism that allows for a provide-unless-the-user-already-did-so type of behavior) fall under an implementation extension, then?

I think there's one expectation in society about what certain groups of people like. (For example, pink dolls are just for girls, boys can't be into dollhouses, or girls just aren't interested in deep sea fishing, or what have you)

But I think everybody should have the opportunity to live their life and choose the toys they wish as I pointed out. As long as it fixes inequalities and leads to true equity, I'm all for it.
Was there a statistically significant outlier of a year of increased overdoses recently though? If not, all this says is that the city of SF handled Coronavirus well.
I think it’s possible to hold the following two views at the same time:

- “systemic racism” is real and not 100% solved

- of all the possible strategies to solve systemic racism, racializing all facets of everyday life, including emojis, may not be the most productive
The attitude towards women in Mexican tech companies, telecoms and IT companies is the same there was in American companies a mere 10 years ago or so...

This is a really disingenuous false equivalency.

First, you're implying that all opinions are equally valid. That is... I'll be polite and simply call it nonsense. "Gay people should have rights" and "gay people shouldn't have rights" are not opinions of equal value, and it's not "eating your cake and having it too" to say that the latter opinion is unwelcome.

Second, there's a very clear relationship between the "left" topics you mentioned and the workplace; not so for the "right" topics. You can make an argument that abortion/contraceptives are work-related because of employer-sponsored healthcare (I think it's clear that employees should keep their noses out of each other's private medical matters, but... okay), but the rest are totally ancillary. If you want a "no politics at work" rule, then you wouldn't have conversations about guns (unless it's to advocate that your employer allow guns at work), you wouldn't have conversations about immigration policy (unless it's to advocate that your employer stop sponsoring visas), and you wouldn't have conversations about furries (unless it's to advocate that your employer ban furry sex in the workplace... which I don't think is a problem that anyone has). You know what you would still have? Conversations about discrimination in the workplace. Conversations about whether your employer's political dollars are funding violence. Conversations about whether your recruitment policies are unconsciously biased.
This actually seems quite solvable by reducing local neighborhood's ability to influence new development. Everyone wants the situation to improve, NIMBY's know how to block it. On a ballot measure the majority can rightly assume that development will not affect their immediate neighborhood.

Some of these problems require City or Regional policy to manage, deferring to local neighborhoods leads to gridlock.
It also launched many information security careers :)
> and the ones that put in place protectionist measures to prevent their trading partners and allies from buying vaccines from them?

Citation needed? There are no, as far as I'm aware of, any trade restrictions on vaccines being shipped to Canada from the United States. The Trump administration simply invested earlier in promising vaccines, and therefore secured the first deliveries. Canada decided not to do so, and invested later so it wasn't able to secure earlier deliveries. It also wasted time and money backing the SinoVac which failed to deliver anything.

> Canada is just lucky the EU doesn't behave like the US, and we have been able to source vaccines from Pfizer's EU manufacturing. When the chips were down, we couldn't rely on our friends to the south.

All Canada had to do was invest earlier. I fail to understand how the US are "letting Canada down" by simply... getting deliveries they paid for!
Management is all fads and cargo cults, and HR is basically pure distilled management.
Sure and I definitely do not have anything that can easily measure cups, let alone 3 1/2 of them (you guys sure love fractions). It's always weird to me when I see stuff like flour measured by volume given that it can be more or less compacted.

For liquids it's often given by volume, but then due to the nice property that 1 liter of water weights 1 kilo we can easily measure things like water, milk and basically anything water-y by mass as well. The recipe calls for 25 centiliters of water? I can just measure 250g.
This is a great idea that I'm glad to see exist.

I've been trying to write more, about an email a month keeping my family updated with my life. I've thought about making a blog but I found a better alternative.

I've got a blog for technical projects where I can control the nitty gritty HTML but what I want is a platform for writing that (a) syncs between my devices which email drafts do well (b) has no-fuss support for images and (c) has a very low barrier for responses, my family can simply press reply (I BCC most emails).

Not sure if Moogle ticks all of those boxes yet but I'm glad to see the innovation and I'm going to keep it in mind!
We should absolutely push for even higher rates of recycling. High 90s would be fantastic.

But even 74% is already much higher than we get with aluminum cans. You say aluminum cans are "100% recyclable", as if they are 100% recycled, but that's a sleight of hand. PET, PP, PE is also "100% recyclable" but the issue here is what actually gets recycled. For aluminum, the actual recycle rates are less than 50% in the US.

Aluminum is an interesting example because it is intensely GHG emitting. Because of how energy intensive smelting is, an aluminum can produces five times the GHG of plastic, and more than double paper. If you wanted to choose the worst technology possible (with respect to the climate) to make containers from, aluminum is king.
Yeah exactly, the main thing which is missing is being able to have direct access to the file system in a programmatic way, an to run arbitrary processes (including background processes) which operate on the file system. Until then the way software can be combined to do interesting things will be severely limited.
I know this is a bit of a loaded term, and I'm trying to use this in a non-political/nonpartisan context here- but isn't paying people based on rigid salary bands a bit, uh, Communistic? Like yes the company should pay you, an individual, based on what they're worth- if someone has 3 years of experience but they're better than someone with 10 years, shouldn't they be paid more? I thought tech culture was about individualism.

You know who definitely has preset salary ranges for years of experience and isn't paying based on individual ability? The government & heavily unionized jobs. Seniority Trumps Everything there. I dunno, is that the world we want? I thought tech was philosophically opposed to that kind of mediocrity?
I can't personally say for software, but in any other arena 'accessibility' generally makes for better products/services. Curb cuts, for example, serve those with mobility issues. We think people permanently in wheelchairs, which is true, but pretty much every human is going to have mobility issues at some point in their life - injured, pregnant, just carrying too much, dead drunk, etc.
So in short the business value of accessibility is similar to the business value of quality.
Boards should have more apprehension about their companies being exploited as political platforms by employees.

It's as though there is a bargain where in exchange for boards tolerating staff radicalization, these employee groups cheerfully overlook the dystopian, totalitarian surveillance infrastructure, environmental devastation, and political corruption machines they seem to have zero problem building and managing on their behalf, and decieving users into depending on them. One doesn't even need to take a side to recognize the bitterness and contempt in tech toward red state denizens. I've sat through numerous meetings where all the shibboleths were trotted out to make sure we were all on the same political page before senior executives engaged in what would be considered hate speech against working class people in any other context. If calling people "trash" isn't hate speech, I really don't know what is.

There still exists a group (perhaps even a majority) in society who are good and charitable people with an immense amount of tolerance for this stuff because they believe tolerance is the price of principles, and they're only principles when they are hard to keep.

Radicalized platform company employees do not have a single moral leg to stand on in this regard. Bringing your whole self to work to build defacto social credit systems and partisan social engineering and surveillance tools is just moral licensing. Maybe that's how they sleep at night. While they found a new way to take a few more minutes of peoples time to show them outrage and advertisements, at least they mouthed the right party lines in favor of distant oppressed people they don't know personally?

I know a number of people in tech who sincerely believe they do not need to be good men or women by any standard because they are self justified by being engaged not in discourse, but ideological warfare. I used to think they were misguided idealists and I thought their passion could be used for good, but I've come to realize they are just dispicable.

All I can recommend is, don't let yourself be bullied.
They (or whoever is transiting their lines) know the account number of the entity that pays for the line that the robocalls are originating from. If the phone company made it possible for end users to block numbers based on who is funding the calls I think they would go away fairly completely.
How does it defeat your security if other people want to look at network traffic on the device they purchased?
> Would any parent have thought that 50 years ago?

Yes, not only was parents doing that recognized as common-but-not-dominant thing 50 years ago (as a near-50 GenXer, I was aware of it existing and being perceived by adult society that way as a kid), it was even before that a popular media cliche leveraging a social trope that it was a real if eccentric recurring pattern (especially by fathers without sons toward girls) even earlier.
> Desperate for makeup?

If they're desperate, they're probably desperate for cash. Makeup is small, high value, and can be resold.
> why are we living under a stay at home order where police have been deployed to prevent us from doing anything but grocery shop?

Wait, that's a joke right? We're talking western nation here, not Cuba or Venezuela...
The FDA's report on third party servicing says this:

> The currently available objective evidence is not sufficient to conclude whether or not there is a
widespread public health concern related to servicing, including by third party servicers, of
medical devices that would justify imposing additional/different, burdensome regulatory
requirements at this time. Rather, the objective evidence indicates that many OEMs and third party entities provide high
quality, safe, and effective servicing of medical devices.

From my personal experience poking at a CPAP machine, there's nothing magical about it. All the sensors and active elements I could track down are available from the respective manufacturers in large quantities. The CPU is a freaking off the shelf STM32F4 with the jtag header still on the board. This is not some impossible to debug hyper-integrated design.
But you only landed on the site from Google because of the story.

You don't realize it, but the stories are all written because Google ranks a recipe higher if if has more content like that.

Don't blame the authors. Blame search engines.

Fortunately, it's incredibly easy to scroll down to the recipe itself.
I've had a coworker complain about my casual use of blasphemy and management agreed that I should tone it down. It's not necessarily left vs right; it's aiming to reduce toxic behaviors that make a workplace unsafe for others.

Not every "political opinion" belongs in the workplace, but I've heard about everything on your list but furries in the workplace and gone on to have productive working relationships with those coworkers, occasionally with a brief "agree to disagree" demarking a topic as unwelcome over lunch.
Probably because if you're homeless and sleep outside during the winter in NYC you'll die.
Jailbraking is fine as a hobby, but it's not viable to build serious workflows on top of what's essentially a cat-and-mouse game between Apple and the jailbreak community
Companies don't deserve free bailouts. If they go bankrupt the government can reasonable expect something for paying their debts.
I have heard this is done because of copyright issues with recipes alone. Dunno if it is true or not. Anyway, my app dev bucket list includes a git recipe hybrid so folks can fork (heh) your recipies.
Agreed.

Adjusting for weight obviously depends on density, which is going to vary depending on ingredient.

That said, half a tablespoon is easily calculated. Rounding to the nearest 1/4 unit for the majority of ingredients would work fine as a middle ground.
I used to have an hour commute of mostly highway driving. Almost as good for contemplation as walking.
Could you offer an ELI5 of what her products do?
I think it started with college campus activism 10-20 years ago. If you feel empowered to shut down the dean’s office to oust a professor, you’ll probably think the same techniques can be applied to your workplace. It certainly doesn’t help that your workplace strives to walk and quack like some kind of college campus.

recipes can't be copyrighted, so the novel serves as content for the site to be unique (from Googlebot perspective) and target keywords so you find it in google in the first place.
Its good to see that letters to the editor haven’t changed much in over 200 years.
All that is going to happen if Epic gets their own store is Epic will be collecting the 30% rather than Apple

Epic already has a store of its own, and it charges developers 12%.

Moreover, Apple already has thousands of apps that are poorly designed, chew battery, and don't conform to Apple UX standards. Part of the reason for the pushback against the Apple tax is that Apple is objectively failing to perform many of the tasks it claims as justifications for the tax.
I would point to Epic's use of exclusives.

Given epic's current behavior on PC, I think it would be a given that they would also do this on another App Store.
Honestly, I'm quite surprised by how much people here seem to think it's biological. It seems to me there is no way society's slight move toward encouraging gender-neutral playing isn't still strongly offset by the pervasive culture of machismo and femininity. The second your boy steps foot into school, if he's wearing something pink or playing with a doll, other boys will make fun of him. A single incident like that is a plenty strong incentive to stick with same-gendered toys.
I wonder why this is - is it as simple as SEO? (I can't see how unrelated keywords would help with your SEO really, if anything they might hinder it by triggering spam filters)

Another comment here suggests it could be around copyright. Does adding unrelated jargon to the page give you any meaningful extra protection of the mere ingredients list and instructions though? It strikes me adding a life story might protect the life story, but not the actual (seemingly unprotectable) recipe.

Or is there another reason? I'm intrigued as it seems to be a standard playbook, yet one which presumably costs money and time in writing unique content that's relevant enough to avoid users bouncing...
I’d bet the lunch I’m about to eat that the bright pink aisle will predominantly contain imagery of girls or toys typically played with by girls.

For it to be geared towards both boys and girls, it would need to be bright pink with equal imagery of boys and girls, and equal amounts of toys played with boys as well as girls.

Come on, it’s like saying barbie dolls aren’t girls toys. I mean, sure, boys aren’t usually incapable of playing with them, but that’s also irrelevant.
> I for one want work to be welcoming and productive for everyone. Ironically, the best way to accomplish that is to focus on work, and not non-work.

Sure, if you’re a white, middle-aged, straight, cis male (speaking as one myself).

But for other people, it’s not as easy to “leave your politics at home”, especially if you’re politics are “can I please be paid fairly in comparison to other workers” or “sorry, I’m late for work, the police unnecessarily stopped me because of my race” or even “I can’t get a job at this company because of my sexuality”.

The fact is, the world is changing and companies have to change with it. It’s happened before (women in the workplace for example) and it’s going to keep happening.

Everything is political. Even saying you don’t have a position is tacit endorsement of the status quo.

Obviously, there are reasonable limits and expected standards of behaviour. It’s not ok to harass your coworkers about a political cause and it shouldn’t impact your ability to do your job.

But we are all going to have to deal with it.
This makes some sense, but your analysis assumes that observed parental gender roles aren’t responsible for the patterning you describe before 1yr. I’d be more convinced of an analysis of child rearing in a “gender neutral environment” created by those who do not have the gender they were assigned at birth. Do these patterns still occur? I’d be more inclined to buy a biological explanation then, but without that, all you’re telling me is that a 10mo baby is extremely adept at absorbing patterns from their parents.
It's only a slippery slope fallacy if the progression is hypothetical and unjustified - otherwise, it's an actual slippery slope. The progression from normalization of racial animosity to genocide - on a societal level, not the strawman that any individual will make an off-color joke today and build the gas chambers tomorrow - is something that has demonstrably happened multiple times in the past couple of centuries, unlike the link between violent media and actual violence.
I avoid woke workplaces. I’m much, much happier. I don’t give a shit about politics or activism and it just gets under my skin.
Decades of experience helping protect my parents PCs tells me this isn’t true. As soon as the option is available, it will be exploited by bad actors. I guarantee that “app stores” will prey on my parents fears or confusion to get them to install that store as opposed to Apple’s, and I really don’t want that.
That's not one I've heard. Examples that come to mind are 'even I' (which seems closer to 'I too' than the 'you'd scarcely believe it but I' that it naturally sounds to me), 'he himself' (or similar subject emphasis), and adverb repetition.

I'd say it's mostly subtler (I suppose that should be the expected distribution!) things I've noticed though, they're just harder to recall as a result.

(Just want to emphasise I'm not making fun of anybody or saying anything's wrong, in case it's not clear in text. I'm just enjoying learning Hindi, fairly interested in language generally, and interested/amused to notice these things.)
