1. I've seen lots of recipes that mention if describe caramelization and not one has mentioned baking soda so it's besides the point.

Hah, that'll teach me! But people are using this phrasing more commonly, thinking different and so on..
This can work well for folks who want to stick towards the ISA / hw level, but for general coding I don't find assembly more useful than just a simple language like Python. The "simplicity" of assembly evaporates pretty quickly beyond the basic math instructions (e.g. mfence, vector stuff, the concept of a stack). Undoubtedly these things are useful to learn eventually, but they are incredibly daunting to any novice coder.

The ultimate frustration is in trying to support beginners in learning assembly, as they will feel absolutely bogged down whenever they hit an error and will be completely incapable of being independent in figuring out their problems. They will lean on the teaching staff like crazy (ask me how I know....) and it's this feeling of "my code is broken and I have no damn clue what is going on!" that drives people away from the field. They have to get eased into it.

When I taught undergrads a primarily Python-based class, I spent the first third of the semester teaching them how to effectively use pdb (or better yet, ipdb; tab completion!). Although my section did not get as far as other sections (i.e. we got to the end of the required material only, whereas other sections advanced to some optional stuff like numpy and Django), the profs teaching the following course told me how much they appreciated that the students from my section really could dive in and solve their problems (or at least give them a good first go). If you don't give beginner coders the tools to debug their own problems (which are lacking in the assembly world), it may hamstring them for the rest of their careers.
The "layer of deceit" is that they claim you can do something in a particular way within a certain time frame and that this is not actually possible. And cook books aren't written by editors.

Makes me glad working on software as recipes here don‘t lie.
A "functor" lets you take a unary operation on simple values, `a -> b`, and apply it to a value which structures some `a`s within a larger context (`f a -> f b`). A classic example is (to use some Java syntax) `List<A>`; it is not difficult to write a method with Java signature `<A, B> List<B> map(Function<A, B> f, List<A> list)`.

Functors let you chain together unary (non-branching, straight line) processing pipelines. If your processing pipeline works over any functor, then it can be applied to any structure that acts as a source of values, and it will leave that structure unchanged around the processed data.

An "applicative" is a functor that also lets you take two values, one structuring some `a`s and one structuring some `b`s, and cross them together to produce a result that structures some tuples `(a, b)`. If I have two lists, I can cross them together to get a list of all pairs of elements between the two lists (like a CROSS JOIN in SQL).

Applicatives let you merge two separate processing pipelines together, combining data from both sides together into a single stream. If you can combine two pipelines into one, you can combine any number of them; this is what makes them strictly more powerful than general functors, which cannot support multiple parallel data sources.

A "monad" is a functor that also lets you take a value with two layers of nested structure, `f (f a)`, and meld/flatten/unify those two layers into a single layer of the same kind (`f a`). If I have a list of lists, I can unwrap the inner list structures, lifting all of their elements to the top level. Or, more viscerally (for me), if I have a binary tree whose leaves contain binary trees, I can graft the inner tree at each leaf onto the outer tree, producing a deeper single tree.

Monads let you accumulate some inner structure produced by a stage of your pipeline into the outer structure your values came from. In turn, this reveals the values under the inner structure to downstream pipeline elements.

On the cloud, it is likely simpler and faster to just spin up a new cassandra datacenter, and then do a rebuild from the old datacenter to the new datacenter, either all nodes at once in parallel or in smaller batches. This procedure works fine regardless of using static tokens allocation or vnodes, and adds very little load to the old datacenter which is still serving traffic.

As of 2016, CS1301 was still in Python. CS1331 was in Java. MATLAB was present either in specialized CS classes (like computer vision) or in the Intro To CS for Engineers (CS1371). Not aware if it remained this way afterwards though.

> especially for the carribean, which is extremely shallow (hence the hurricanes)

The Caribbean is nowhere near shallow, take a look at a marine chart or just the seafloor topography on google maps. The Caribbean is thousands (often over 10K) of feet deep in most areas.

Also, this has nothing to do with hurricanes, which originate off the west coast of Africa.

Also, the Florida Keys are not in the Caribbean.

For a project where I worked on we offered streaming TSV responses and always finished the response with a last row containing a comment: `# Finished downloading.`.

It has to be a leaf function or there would be stack frames after, and no local variables after the array, and the function doesn't push anything onto the stack, and it has to be possible in ways not covered by tests to actually use that space.

Sure, that could happen.

But what the other guy was saying about being a compiler developer and being unsure how to calculate the maximum depth is that there are many, many ways to arrive at the wrong result. Resursion, argv/envp, varags, alloca, and so on. So unless you are going to spend a great deal of energy proving maximum depth you're going to be using an estimate of some sort. Thus, 'probably just as good'.

The author of "The Camel Has Two Humps" has retracted it. https://retractionwatch.com/2014/07/18/the-camel-doesnt-have...

That paper is not anything really. Their "formula" for the electron mass is a combination of some Planck units the fine structure constant and the Bohr radius. But the Bohr radius is defined in terms of the electron mass -- and if you put in the usual expressions it looks like everything else cancels. So the agreement appear to be entirely by construction, they've basically just mathematically obsfucated the input (the electron mass).
Ignorant person here, why is systems (assuming specifically OS) research dying? I just assume computer science related research in general is stable. I would think OS research would be quite stable as well but maybe I’m naive.
> All crops are GMO. The only difference is how fast they were modified.

This is often said in defense of GMO, but surely cross-breeding and hybridization - a farmer or gardener attempting to combine the entire genetic entity of one plant with another one (which must therefore be naturally compatible), to increase the potential utility of the result - is totally different to inserting a single gene from a totally arbitrary source (which can therefore be a completely separate life-form)?

EVE Online.

I designed and wrote most of the code for the hacking minigame in EVE. Sadly and unknown to us there was a small memory leak that happened once per game. This was basically unnoticeable until it hit production. Our little game was part of a bigger rework of Exploration in EVE and that plus the game being an entertaining way to make money meant there were upwards of 150k game instances being played a day. EVE does away with the Python GC as well so the memory leak caused us to have to restart nodes every three hours IIRC. My tech lead and I had to comb through and find it which he eventually did and sanity was restored very quickly.

I don’t think it even cracks the top ten of production fuck ups at CCP though.

In practice, how long it takes for any ingredient step is naturally going to be context-sensitive, and most recipe authors and readers appreciate that.

(chef's experience, properties of the ingredients used, quality of equipment.. among many others)

While thinking about a digital format for recipes I wondered whether it'd be possible to instead specify an "end condition"[1] for each preparation step - in terms of colour, taste, texture and so on.

There could still be "estimated" typical durations for each step, but it'd allow for those to be somewhat dynamic based on the environment "at cooktime".

You nailed it: THIS is most of the general GUI problem.

"""No one has enough free time to build a brand new high quality app for mumble which works on 3 desktop OSs and 2 mobile."""

It also can't be (whatever windowing kit, E.G. QT) because that requires a big download in addition to the program, and also 'doesn't feel native' or 'doesn't look right' or 'sets off the AV scanner'.

The other escape hatch is electron; which looks "web", but is even _more_ bloated, but at least it doesn't set off the scanners. Instead it just gobbles CPU cycles, memory, and is slow and horrid.

I'm to the point that I don't care what wins, or how horrid writing for it is; I just need a widgets toolkit and bindings that can be developed for ONCE, is hosted with the OS and shared among all apps, and works on Mobile (all of them), Win, OSX, and 'nix.

Certainly possible to be better than Discord. I tried Discord once for a friend’s virtual party. Horrible sound quality, horrible connection issues both on Windows client and iOS app - not to speak of fully pegging the CPUs for a video chat app. The experience was far worse than a Zoom or Teams call.

Maybe for 24/7 gamers who have tweaked it until they found the right setup, Discord “just works”, but for me it seemed unfit for purpose.

> I would say the value proposition is control and performance, and more pragmatically ubiquity. If the value proposition were simplicity, why aren't C programmers writing Lisp instead? If it's simplicity and control, why aren't they writing assembly? At this point, C is little more than a bad abstraction that people are nostalgic for.

Because it is hard model hardware in idiomatic Lisp and Assembly in not portable and not very productive. C is somewhat simple, portable, productive and fast language for writing code that is as close to a machine without having to use Assembly. It can be easily combined with Assembly when needed. Barring C++ it has the biggest tooling support of any other language available.

That we paid for it in the store?

> How do you get “dark”, “medium-brown”, or “golden brown” in under 10 minutes, and without caramelizing?

Thin cuts, a decent pan, avoid sweet onions (which take longer to brown), and use a little higher heat than the center of the medium-high range, IME.

Browning is much quicker than caramelizing (see, e.g., https://marxfood.com/caramelizing-onions-vs-browning-onions/ which gives 15 minutes for browning, and an hour for caramelizing; you can push browning more easily.)

(The quoted 5 to brown + 5 to caramelize in TFA is bullshit, though, no question, but most of the quotes in the article aren’t about caramelizing, they are about browning – often lightly browning – in a fairly reasonable time for the level of browning described.)
Getting your hands on a barely serviceable manual machine is easy though, which is why I started worrying. If the machine is out of production there might be something seriously wrong with it and if a novice starts compensating for the fault then the margin of error approaches zero.

There just isn't a culture around cooking (non-professional setting anyway) of doing experiments to validate your claims so myths, inaccuracies and just-so stories are rampant, even when experiments are very cheap and practical to do.

I'm not sure how you change this. I find it really grating how much contradictory cooking advice there is and how complex some recipes are without justifying the extra steps make any difference.

If you're making bread for example, some recipes will say don't add the salt with the yeast because it will make it rise slower and some recipes say it won't make a difference - it should be simple to confirm this with an experiment in a day to settle it for good and move on but for whatever reason this doesn't happen.

Is there a good reason why you couldn't settle how to caramelise onions with a few experiments?

I'm responding to a general point of the grandparent post; we are not talking about the specifics of one area of scientific inquiry.
Unfortunately this article is just mumbojumbo; and the author appears not to have consulted any expert on this.

The claim actually relates to (1) inequality and (2) historical automation occurring mostly in the 70s, 80s -- that, for example, replaced car workers with "robots". It is the same automation which replaced domestic workers with washing machines.

The problems with "statistical categories" referenced such as, "men without high-school degrees", is that they change size.

> “The real earnings of men without a high-school degree are now 15% lower than they were in 1980.”

This appears bad. But in 1980 10% of the population had degrees, that is now >50%. So this is a dramatic increase in wealth for everyone. The poor are less poor, and there are fewer of them.

The category "poor" is now labelled differently, and has a different population size.

The article then goes on to rehash the same speculative hysteria on self-driving cars, AI, and so on.

It is a perfect writeup of "common economic fallacies" and ai pseudoscience.
While this is addressed at countries I really would like western companies to take their responsibility in this matter.

For example time and time again the supply chain of Apple becomes "contaminated" with forced labor by Uyghurs. And nothing ever really changes. Sure, the supplier in question gets banned (something that literally takes years to happen). But then after a while another supplier turns up which uses forced labor.

Apple is actually one of the few companies that is big enough and has the resources to move production somewhere where forced labor isn't an issue. But they don't even make an effort.
What if that country has one of yours? I think these usually are bilateral agreements.
