Wow, a lot of questions, looks like you know your stuff! I'll try my best to answer:

> Where was the creamery?

Heber Valley Artisan Cheese in Midway, Utah. (Wasatch Back)

> Where did your milk come from, did the creamery have its own animals or did it buy from an independent farmer?

We raise and milk our own cows :)

> What milk did you most often make cheese with?

We use cow's milk. Some of our cheeses are pasteurized, others are made with raw milk (it's is high enough quality to make into cheese w/out pasteurization, the resulting cheese is creamier, plus the low pH + heat kills off most bacteria).

> How much milk did you transform per day, on average?

Numbers may have changed since I left, but if memory serves: each day, we processed ~15,000 lbs (1,500 gallons) milk to produce ~1,200 lbs of cheese (50 standard 22-lbs wheels) and ~300 lbs curd. (We took out about 30% of each batch to sell as curd.)

> How many days a week did you spend on making cheese?

We'd usually make cheese in the mornings, clean the make room in the afternoon, then cut, package, and move around aging cheese in the evenings. 5 days a week, but sometimes Saturdays. We up our production in the summer, and decrease it in the winter.

> How did you process milk before making cheese?

Oh, I kinda already answered this! We make cheese with raw or pasteurized milk. We process the milk the day we make the cheese (which is usually the day after we milk the cows).

> What was your aging space like?

We aged in 'the cave' a basically a massive walk-in refrigerator room thing. We usually age cheese for a couple months to a few years, depending on the type of cheese it is, etc.

> And what were your customers like?

Very kind :)

We sell cheese, milk, ice cream, etc. through in store on the farm next to the cheese factory. We are also partnered with some grocery stores (Whole Foods, Harmons, Smiths) in the area, and some wholesale distributors.

Let me know if you have any more questions!
Why are there two popovers in a row when paging through the page?
This is so frustrating, they were renovating not building.

Anyone who can remotely work with numbers and has seen a building made with rocks should be able to calculate how much time IN THEORY the Great Pyramid needed from foundation to pinnacle. Let's say it's not that number (supposedly 30 years since that's how long that kheope guy reigned), remember you are actually a common person not an archeologist that needs slaves for 24/7/365 every day and night with every weather or invasion just to match the timelines.

Then you need to add another large support staff to farm, care and replenish the first group.

Then you ask yourself, how it is possible to raise blocks at dozen of meters? How you can use Pi without knowing it, or earth dimensions, or the true north and maintain right angles and orientation for hundred of meters? Just how do you make the base perfectly straight without opticals?

And then you seem to notice that there are wonderful internals: how do you project them to fit before the externals? what about the black stones? How is it possible to cut (carving Mohs scale of 7 is impossible with iron, which they did not have), transport from the nearest hundred miles caves, raise about a hundred meters and assemble 70 tons blocks of granite so precisely than not even a sheet of paper can fit into the contact points?

And only after that, falling in the rabbit hole, you have to admit there was a previous advanced civilization.
You're saying "Primary" was a downgrade from "Original" at the same price?

What works best here may be field-dependent. "Poorer quality" is not acceptable in some applications, where it directly affects their bottom line. So once the degratation and reliability issues start, the older version might as well be cancelled. Until I give them the hard "break-up" message, these are the people bugging me constantly. Once they have a solution that does what they need at a price they love (which becomes a permanent price ceiling for some), there's on graceful way out.

I also have the problem that "no longer maintained" fairly quickly (matter of months perhaps) progresses into "no longer working" without some level of maintenance (which grows as components become increasingly changed and deprecated). So it's a delayed cancellation anyway.
My current interest in video filtering is not business oriented or even that much personal. It's a bit SponsorBlock-like in that I need certain fragments cut out from a final video, but I don't want to manually encode and cut them.

I occasionally download really huge VODs from Twitch or YouTube (mostly gaming tournaments or game playthroughs). I'm quite annoyed of long blocks of breaks, too much blabbering before a match starts, or in the case of bot tournaments -- one of the bots hanging and the system timing out after one whole hour of a mostly static image, etc.

But let me give a more digestible example. The ESL_SC2 channel on Twitch streams StarCraft 2 matches 24/7 (often rebroadcasts). They have these 3 minute-ish breaks with a slightly moving image and an annoying (IMO) music. I believe these segments from the videos can be easily filtered out with applying a particular perception hash on the frames and filtering them out, but never had the time and energy to try it myself.

I'm not asking to be catered to; I'm giving Sieve's authors an idea for a creative endeavor. If they're up for it, download one video from there with youtube-dl / yt-dlp and try it out.

(I suppose this could be useful in the home surveillance scenario as well, e.g. if the camera has been covered with snow for 12 hours, then you don't need the footage and want all frames adhering to that perception hash deleted.)
it is a flight strip, and it's how they track flights. they do print messages on them, but the main purpose is to track which planes are in a given sector and at what altitude or to sequence takeoffs and landings.

I mean yeah, that's my point. It's a bad idea.
> Li-ion battery arrangements inside those devices seem to hold about 80% of their usable capacity and voltage for about six months, with average usage patterns. A year after that this drops to 50% of original capacity, or below. This is known, if a bit too generalized.

What? Taking the example of Apple (since they make their battery ratings easily accessible, but other manufacturers are similar), iphone batteries are rated to hit 80% at 500 charge cycles, and ipad/macbook batteries are rated to 1000 cycles [1]. Assuming you discharge your battery from 100% to 0% every day (which is at the upper end of average usage), iphone batteries should last ~1.5 years, and macbook batteries around 3 years.

Apple also has a pretty good battery replacement service, at least in comparison to other manufacturers. When my iphone battery wore out after ~3 years, I shipped it to Apple and paid $60, and they sent it back a few days later with a new battery. My macbook battery lasted ~4 years of heavy usage, and they did the same thing for ~$200. A user-swappable battery would definitely be easier (and cheaper), but the service they offer is good enough that it's still feasible to get a replacement and keep the device past the battery lifespan.

Lots of great advice already - here's what I do

First, I was introduced to this "type" of reading at a fairly young age (early-mid teens), so I've got over a quarter century of practice

The key to reading these types of things are threefold, imo:

- skim for major topics - don't try to "understand" yet

- read it as if it were of interest to you - you'll pick up a few things you didn't when skimming, but more importantly you'll become pretty familiar with the writing style employed, the author's/authors' voice, and be able to "guess" where they're going next (because you skimmed it already (right?), and actually do have an inkling of where it's going)

- convert it into something you want to impart to someone else - all learning is self-learning (https://www.electronicdesign.com/technologies/dsps/article/2...), and you don't really understand something until you can teach it to someone else

A bonus tip:

- read lots of similar[ish] types of materials to get the best understanding you can (or, at least, up to what you actually want to have)

Practice doesn't make perfect. But, if you plan it, it can make you proficient :)
The all-caps in this title is a bit much. From Bloomberg:

“The Federal Aviation Administration issues ground stops routinely to ensure airports and high-altitude flight paths remain orderly. They can occur for weather, volcanic eruptions or any number of reasons. On Monday afternoon, for example, the FAA ordered a brief halt to flights in the central region of the U.S. as a result of aircraft volume related to the college football championship game in Indianapolis.”

Sounds like cents would be the American equivalent in that case.
There is essenitally no fallout from an undetonated warhead. Plutonium is not that radioactive. It's just fissile.
Awesome post, thanks for the link. I had no clue Clickhouse could do this. Shows off some more CLI tools in there too.

The big issue with ClickHouse is the incredibly non-standard SQL dialect and the random bugs that remain. It's an amazing project for analytics but you definitely have to be willing to hack around its SQL language (I say this as a massive fan of ClickHouse).

I wonder: does this mean I can embed ClickHouse in arbitrary software as a library? I'd be curious to provide that as an option in dsq.
"People were far from starving." is an incorrect conclusion, because famines were far from rare.

"The crop price spike around 1320" is probably the Great Famine of 1315-1317, which killed approximately ten per cent of the population.

But it could also be the famine of 1321.
Sorry this is a one off unique device. 20 years is a great life in the history of NASA, plus they will most likely have robots that can refuel it in 20 years easily if it's even worth doing with 20 years of advancement in astronomy by then.
This seems like a great tool for my area of interest: counting different types of vehicles (including bicycles, scooters, mopeds, skateboards, light electric vehicles, passenger cars, commercial cars, and different sizes & types of trucks and buses) that move through an observed intersection!
Red pill: truely accept that design is very important, make the hard effort to improve your aesthetic work over time to improve your personal taste, listen to graphic designers and learn their taste from them. Become the master of both aesthetics and engineering, reap the significant rewards as one of the few that can navigate the compromise between the disciplines. The cost is that the world slowly becomes terrifyingly ugly, because you have to opened your eyes to hideous monstrous graph everywhere; even a simple sign on a road can make you physically ill. You are surrounded by evil, currently your mind is just closed to it. One friend of mine struggles to go to shopping, because the screeching noise of barbaric design hurts their psyche. You already struggle against the cesspit of bad engineering that surrounds you everyday: take the red pill and more than double your suffering.

Blue pill: keep ignorant of graphic design, enjoy mocking the trivial and meaningless exploits of designers, laugh at their talk of the energy or feelings of a font (idolising even just one minute part of a single character), remain happy in your ignorance. The cost is that you will always feel something is missing in your life and work. There is a worthwhile struggle for meaning in the dark arts, you will miss out on the pleasure of creating form from the void.

There are profound joys of creating something beautiful. Engineering is easier but more restricted because the definition of engineering is compromising to meet limitations: design has fewer limits and they are mostly created by your society within your own mind. A aesthetic sense will get you widespread respect, because people can appreciate it. Great engineering is a lonely vice that is usually not even appreciated by your fellow engineers. As an engineer you can subversively affect graphic design and you often have massive control over aesthetics. Comparatively, graphic designers are chained artists that often bleed away their soul slowly until they become corporate zombies with minds of mush.
On Sunday, TSA Pre was especially sensitive to everyone passing through it. Small jewelry triggering the metal detectors, high frequency of random screenings, doing swabs over electronics.

Just one data point for one airport at one time period, but it was confusing everyone as their threat assessment was set much higher than normal.
See above: companies with SSO's are overwhelmingly less price-sensitive than companies without them, which tend to be smaller.

I miss the days when we'd get a largely incomprehensible chest-pounding rant on Twitter, instead.

On second thought, I'm not sure I do.
Unless they are flying over Ukraine, apparently.
The cynic in me says it could have been a propaganda move - as in, the authorities knew there wasn't a credible threat, but it suits their narrative to have the media latching on to it. Because the media are guaranteed to have the story grow FUD-cladded arms and legs.
Will our jazz cat, Mingus, be ever to play his horn again, now he has add all his teeth out?
That seems like a drastic overestimate. Any basis for that?
> Donkor found that around 60% of people chose a tip from the menu, indicating that most passengers preferred not to have to calculate a tip in their heads.

That assumption seems to be quite a stretch. Naively I would think that major drivers for this behavior are saving time and comparatively terrible custom tip experience.

Personally I love doing mental math, but still use preselected tip in situations with external pressure. For example when there is a line of people behind me in a coffee shop or I am trying to get out of taxi fast so the driver is not waiting on me.
In fact, if old movies are to be believed, you could just give your ticket to someone else. Tickets should still be transferable, right now airlines use the pretext of security to say that one shouldn't be able to re-sell their tickets, but I call BS.
I don't think anyone seriously doubts the possibility that DPRK will some day have missiles which could threaten the US west coast, they're certainly trying.

What we seem to have here is a failsafe, and the right decision. The key word there is "fail", because that's what it looks like. Some internal line of communication or process broken to the extent that somebody somewhere put out an order to ground planes. (or possibly a deliberate live readiness test) You want to fail safe, the cost of briefly inconveniencing aviation is incomparable to the cost of screwing up defenses in the case of a real attack. Failing like this also gets a lot of attention which will motivate people to fix whatever the issues were that lead to it.

I'd just think of it as a test case highlighting a bug. I don't know what great harm could come from it.
Just before Christmas I got an urge to add a dither filter to my JS canvas library. The past few weeks have certainly been a very intense adventure through a very deep rabbit hole involving color spaces, color distances and discovering how to generate a best-fit reduced palette of colors and then dither it (hello, blue noise!)

I finally managed to complete the work last week and I'm quite happy with the results. Using the library people can set the colors of graphical objects or gradients using any CSS color space string (RGB, HSL, HWB, LAB, LCH) and the color should render as expected. The reduce-noise filter uses LAB internally to calculate color distances, but in the end I compromised and used euler distances for the algorithm rather than one of the more modern algorithms.

Work is still on a branch in the library[1] but I'm hoping to merge it into the main code in the next week or so (after testing across devices/screens/etc).

Aside: Safari has gone ahead and introduced support for HWB, LAB and LCH color strings in CSS. Sadly, they're not recognised by Safari's canvas engine (yet). Also, their HSL and HWB gradients seem to be the same as the RGB gradients; their LAB/LCH gradients seem to dodge the dreaded Gray Zone.

Fallout is better than a city blowing up - we used to test nukes in the atmosphere, and while we've recognized that's not great, the calculus changes a bit with a nuke coming to blow up NYC or LA. You're right that we don't have nuclear-tipped anti-ballistic missiles currently, opting for more accurate conventional ABMs, but that's more about the US and Russia trying to reduce their nuclear arsenals.
Gunicorn fundamentally runs everything as a worker process.

You have sync, gthread, gevent, evenlet, tornado (tornado was also a popular server). UvicornWorker is another type of gunicorn worker... incidentally authored by the same guys who built uvicorn.

Nothing strange at all.

But ur question is genuine - but it is orthogonal to the uvicorn part of this answer. Fundamentally, in a k8s model...why bother with gunicorn?

The answer: I don't know. I do love the control that gunicorn gives me...so I'd probably use it even if I was using a single worker.

However there is a complex answer with Threads vs cores vs pods that I'm unqualified to give.
> There’s great pleasure in repetition and ritual. My family came to know a lot of dialogue by heart.

That bit resonates a lot with me. We had a rotation of regular movies that we would watch with my family and it was a pleasure every time. I remember the cheer comfort that came out of this, when someone proposed to watch a classic. We keep quoting some of these to this day.

Yeah it was someone that was aggregating data of their own goodwill and posting it on a neighborhood Facebook group.

This is the map he made of all of them (Reported ones):
https://maps.co/map/619333f95e2d8772482744czk0b21d4?fbclid=I...

The numbers he broke down like this:

This doesn’t include car thefts, which there have been an additional 3387. Between car thefts and carjackings (robbery with car theft), there have been a total of 3879 cars taken, almost 1% of the population of Minneapolis have had their car taken in 2021, and 4035 car thefts/carjackings in 2020.

As of 2019 the population of Minneapolis was 420,324. So 1% of that is ~4,200.

Now not all 420k residents own a car, so considering the % of car owners is a smaller number the percentage is probably higher.

Still crazy to me.

Hospitalised with Covid or due to Covid?

Is there a public source for those figures?

Like most crimes, the biggest and most common dangers come from the people/software you already know. It's going to be a company's profit incentive or a lone dev's hissy fit expressed through softare you implicitly trust that gets you. Unencrypted internet transfers have worked and will continue to work for a very long time with very few problems for the vast majority of people.

Requiring encryption might be okay, but requiring CA based TLS is not okay. It is another strong force of centralization and shortly thereafter, control.

http is fine. git:// is fine. TLS CA based git and https are great. But CA TLS only to "fix" the problem introduces more security problems than it fixes.
The canned response of Gmail Twitter account when I reported a similar issue earlier today:

Is this literally a joke? This might as well be a doomsday machine driven by weak AI selecting new Greek glyphs to drive demand for new superfluous covid vaccines.

I'm fully vaccinated, but more data points to come up with media fear mongering is the last thing anyone in the developed world needs right now.
I think the key phrase from your philosophy is "useful things". If you have a full plate of things that are satisfying to do, and accomplishing them brings you material benefit, there isn't really a downside to working a ton (assuming you can mentally and physically handle it, and you're not neglecting other more important stuff).

If your life is more like a skinner box, where some large percentage of the work is baloney and brings no material gain, this probably isn't an optimum strategy. You'd be wasting a lot of energy on nonsense. I think that's closer to the situation the average person finds themselves in, and their effort would be better spent identifying the part of the work that brings the most results rather than indiscriminately powering through all possible work.

"Work smarter not harder" is a saying for a reason. :)
There was never a time you could just walk through the airport in my lifetime (1990). There were always security controls. That said, you could bring guests, but even guests went through a security screening.
They passed on hiring someone who suggested "sharding" in a chalk talk as a way to potentially scale a database because they wanted an answer like "add an index"???

This AFTER already interviewing them twice, AND liking them, AND learning from them, AND recognizing their potential?

This is why asking "I'm smarter than you" questions is stupid in interviews. This is a fail for them not the candidate. Do not follow this pattern or advice.

If you have a great candidate, that fits your organization, teaches you something in their interview, and clear has potential... You hire them!
I'm fine with having a 10-minute flight delay every time a rogue nation fires an experimental ICBM in a desperate attempt to maintain its sovereignty.
I live in a midrise condo in the suburbs of NYC. One thing I've noticed is that similar condos in the area have not risen in price significantly (if at all) whereas SFHs have.

Is this because of the pandemic that the demand of dense multi-family housing has stagnated while isolated SFHs have risen?

The thought has crossed my mind the past two years where I've encountered more rude, aggressive, and hostile fellow residents in my building. Our building staff members have commented the same. Pleas from building management to mask up or avoid riding the elevator with other households go unheeded. Likewise pleas to not smoke in outdoor, but common areas (lounges, rooftops, etc.) go unheeded, and now add marijuana smell as a bonus.

It's gotten to the point my wife and I specifically want to move to a SFH so that we don't have to deal with such people.
