After I retired I bought an existing aquarium shop that sold both fresh and saltwater fish. After seeing what customers were doing to their saltwater fish I stopped selling all corals and anemones plus every species of saltwater fish except captive bred clownfish and captive bred seahorses. I also stopped selling all but farm bred freshwater fish.
I ran free classes every saturday night after the shop closed. Word got around and the shop became very popular. Even after the big box pet store opened down the road it barely dented my gross. I sold the shop after about 5 years and I don't really know if the new owners followed my system as I never went back.
Even consumer-grade router network has been gigabit for the last decade though.
If you’re the smartest person in the room, then you’ve likely surrounded yourself with people “worse” than you in some way. How can you grow in such an environment? You want to surround yourself with people smarter than you so that you can learn from them and grow. So if you’re the smartest person in the room, then you should go find a new room with smarter people. Unless you’re the smartest person on earth of course ;)
Zig is no way closer to Rust than C or C++ in this regard. Zig is in fact not appreciably safer than C or C++. All of the same classes of memory safety problems that are present in C or C++ are present in Zig.

I am extremely doubtful of the claim that Zig eliminates 50% or more of memory safety problems.
This makes me think of the (apparently true?) story of the shuffle mode in iTunes being seemingly too random for people to the point that some believed it was broken. I have a feeling the differences between the theoretically optimal path (i.e. the one from the start of the article) and the improved ones they get by including additional heuristics are there mainly because they make the drivers feel like they're working more efficiently. Which is very fair considering that the way the drivers feel about the routing is also a cost.
You should watch the videos of these things. They have thousands of individual ants in them, sure having one or two break away and making it back is better than zero. But it’s better in the same way that zero rice falling out of bag is better than one or two grains falling out, zero is definitely better, but nobody bothers to pickup dropped grains of rice.
Folding Ideas: Line Goes Up

I am working on a solution to simplify this piece of the puzzle and seeking feedback for an early version of the solution.

Please DM me (email in profile) and we can set something up.
A fork using primes: Primel

https://converged.yt/primel/

The best first guess using Shannon entropy is a dead heat between 12953 and 12539. Not surprisingly to the number theorists out there...

If you study the JavaScript, apparently this guy's girlfriend knows every prime.
I dunno, there's some substance here, but I don't think it's very compelling.

> Computers last longer than they used to

...And they could last longer still if they were repairable. I do most of my work on machines that are 5-10ish years old, but the reason that that's doable is precisely because the drives have all been replaced (yay modern SSDs), the RAM upgraded, and in some cases the batteries swapped out. Yes, some of these boxes will eventually cease to be worth using, but they've lived far longer than if I was stuck with the hardware that they came with.

> You can’t beat physics

Yes, there may be legitimate trade-offs between repairability and performance. I'm not convinced that we're generally making a good trade, but it probably can be fair.

> Parts availability and manufacturer support

> As a spicy introduction to this section, and a grounded one at that; I think the only phone you can buy to say you’ll use it until it breaks for the longest time possible is an iPhone. (Which is what I did; I bought an iPhone and intend to use it for a decade.) This is for a few reasons, but it’s almost always support.

That's a fantastic argument for things that right-to-repair people want, though. It'd be nice if the vendors would support their stuff for as long as the device lasts, but unless you're buying a Fairphone or something, your best option is to use a sufficiently open device that you can get software updates with or without the original manufacturer helping. And maybe you can't think of any Android device that gets updates as long as an iPhone if you stick with official updates, but once the community gets hold of something they can do better; my favorite is the Samsung Galaxy S III which somehow seems to get every update (https://liliputing.com/2022/01/now-you-can-run-android-12-on...). Also, the 6S isn't that old; 2015 release puts it around the Fairphone 2.

>The salt draws out some of the moisture from the surface of the steak and leaves it behind on the resting surface

Unless you're using paper towels to blot the steak dry, the amount of water left on the plate is absolutely negligible. If anything salting that late is worse. For one, you don't get as good penetration of the salt, so it will taste salty on the outside but bland on the inside. Plus, drawing out the moisture to the surface means there's more water to drive off when you're searing, which means a worse sear. Taking all of that into account, I think you're better off salting hours in advance (eg. in the morning or overnight), and letting it sit in the fridge to dry off.
I too think that sounds shockingly fast, but maybe I should re-visit my approach for oven temp. I throw steaks into a regular oven at 200F and I might wait 70+ minutes for a ribeye to hit 120F.
I just upgraded the App Service plan I was using... It should be back now for a bit.
Mind explaining why?
How would you account for happiness in relation to death tolls? Are they neutral or negative? Or maybe positive, if they're religious?

An increase in per capita infections feels like a pretty solid negative indicator of success. Happiness during this whole ordeal is often directly related to faith in science and willingness to make hard choices to ultimately strive for a reduction in infections. People who make hard choices to protect others aren't doing it to be happy, they're doing it to be right. Maybe you could convince me to agree to economics as indicator but not an immediate one. The results of our choices will take years to fully manifest and understand and the if you want to look at it in th immediate term, the US markets just took a dive and that will have global impact.

So... success?
I thought the established wisdom is to make schema migration compatible with both the old app and the new app, whenever it is possible? E.g. you can safely add a nullable column, and it shouldn't trip up the old app nor the new app, unless you are using some crappy ORM that does "SELECT *", or you are on an older MySQL version that may take hours/days/weeks to rewrite the whole table just to add a nullable column.

https://github.com/fabianlindfors/reshape, on HN front page a couple weeks ago, has some nice tricks to help with the incompatible cases.
i think thats a reasonable opinion in the context of say, language implementation.

for the relatively simple case of parsing cli arguments i would want an equally simple api. "is this string a valid representation of a number?" and "what number does this string represent?" should be separate apis.

even in language implementation, i'd want the identification of number tokens to be separate from the parsing of those number tokens. i would then have another, separate api for "where does the first number end in this string?" which would probably more likely be "return to me the next substring from this string that represents a number"
The Ozone Donut: or Why we get burned more now
Living in AU, the sun is intense. UV levels in summer are normally 12-14. As UV is measured as a linear scale, this means 4-5 times the winter exposure on a sunny day at midday. When I was in north North America, I did not get burned as much. Could go outside much of the day. So I wondered what was different about Southern Hemisphere vs Northern Hemisphere. What I found is that the ozone hole is massive, and that there is also an ozone 'donut' around the tropics that helps push the UV up to 15 in northern Australia and other tropical places.

Reading NASA and NOAA, it seems like they are saying the hole is getting smaller. But what about the donut? What about toal Dobson levels? What do you interpret will happen to the ozone layer in the next 10-20 years? Why is this not a topic anymore?

From this article: https://news.bloombergtax.com/financial-accounting/sec-rejec...

> U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, offer no rules for reporting the value of digital assets. Nonbinding guidance from the American Institute of CPAs says companies should classify the currency as an intangible asset, as outlined in ASC 350. This means businesses that don’t qualify as investment firms would record cryptocurrency at historical cost and then only adjust it if the value declines. Once their holdings get written down, or impaired, companies can’t revise the value back up if the price recovers.
This is the ideal for me -- a nice good crust on the outside, more or less raw on the inside. Something about the contrast just makes it pop. Sublime.

(Also love steak tartare.)
I found this painful to read.
Compact Flash cards are indeed pretty useful in old PCs. One just needs to be careful to buy the "industrial" variants that present themselves as a fixed disk to the system. Some operating systems won't install to common consumer CF cards believing them to be removable disks.

A handy tool for booting from CD-ROM is Plop Boot Manager. It installs itself into the boot sector and can manage booting from the disk, CD drive, and even USB on systems that ordinarily wouldn't support it. Plus it can be configured to have a cool animated starfield background...

“Starting wages at the bank now average $44,000 annually with full benefits”

Hmmm, could be a clue…
I understand that it uses ImageMagick to do the real work. I implemented a similar algorithm in the script language that I added to my clone of CrystalEdit, after I also added image support to it. The script language has access to points you have selected on the image. It is a rather low-level script language and it 'compiles' to a tree of objects having an eval function.
To reword Upton Sinclair: It is difficult to get an anti-intellectual to understand something when their instant-gratification poor habits depend upon their not understanding its existential threats: pandemics, antibiotic resistances, and climate change. It's too easy to say "FU, gimme my supersized Big Mac and I don't care how it's made, Bill Nye." This is what a drug addict says out of willful ignorance while participating in long-term omnicide and ecocide because they're hooked and too weak to make the necessary changes themselves.
Depends on what you want. If you are designing the next James Webb telescope, you are in the right place if you are the smartest in the room regarding one subject, like aligning mirrors, or testing the folding mechanism. It gives enormous responsibility, which you can and should share with others, but I don't see the downside here.

If you're starting with a new career, learning on the job, it's not good if you're the smartest in the room. Then you need to find a place where other people can teach you.

It can also be read as a ego-booster. If you know the most of all people about basketball at a birthday party, it's a cool thing to talk about.
Some bagel shops, restaurants etc. throw out excess food at the end if the day. Supermarkets might throw out bread etc. one day past sell-by date (I forget the supermarket details).

It's a social thing really. Food Not Bombs would gather food from dumpsters (more excess food than half-eaten rolls), then eat communal meals in parks along with any hungry or homeless people. Fancy restaurants throw away unused food, people are hungry and don't have much money for food, FNB puts it together for free meals once a week.

I know Food Not Bombs was doing this in Florida and had trouble with the police. It was a real all-American conflaton - hungry people lining up for free food, even if it came from dumpsters, police cars rolling up with night sticks and guns to stop this, anal-retentive upper middle class white liberals pontificating about the feeding, the discarded food from the upscale restaurants going to waste amidst the police breaking up the food lines. As American as apple pie.
Ahh the Mahomes Method. A classic!
Which identity management tools have you had in mind btw?
Thanks, I just tested that idea out:

Input binary size: 12996608
Folder contains a few more bytes for the service file and installer script.

4476005 (gz)
3421456 (xz)
3447940 (7Z)

tar c -C ./build $(BINARY) | gzip -9 - > $(PKG_NAME_GZ)
tar c -C ./build $(BINARY) | xz -z -9e - > $(PKG_NAME_XZ)
tar c -C ./build $(BINARY) | 7z a -si $(PKG_NAME_7Z)

I played around with the compression options on xz. If you have some suggestions on improving 7z, I'm all ears.

Decompression time isn't an issue here.

Installing 7z on the hosts isn't great, but could be done.
I have never heard any of these myths.
The ACLU has never had a stance of being 'apolitical'. That wouldn't make much sense given the nature of their work.
I was a professional chef for many years before I got into coding and I very rarely use a sous vide at home.

The practical advantages of it have a lot more to do with timing, prep dynamics, and consistency than they do with final quality.

There are some things that it makes possible or easy that are otherwise nearly inaccessible to home cooks and that is cool if you want to play around with it. Or if I'm cooking 6 steaks for guests or whatever but that's not a problem I've been having recently. But otherwise I don't find too much value in it personally.
> I remember compiling Linux kernel on my Cyrix 486SX 25MHz (the one with a disabled-by-default L1 cache!) and it took an hour.

I remember compiling Linux kernel on my AMD 386SX 25MHz. It took a whole day (only awake hours, so probably around 12 hours or so).
Sounds cool, almost like competition for Kafka if it solves global multi-DC replication and has a scaling story. Is FB / “MarkZ The Generous”* planning to open-source this valuable sounding thing? I wasn’t able to find a mention about sharing it publicly in TFA.

Would be a nice gesture, given how much $FB has benefited from running the entirety of the worlds largest social graph on top of MySQL.

Too bad. Some people like the species continuing. Deal with cheap meat coming to an end.
>It doesn't much matter either way, though: the point is, it goes in the oven and comes out when it reads ~115 when I stick it. :)

But shouldn't the oven temperature matter? The hotter the oven is, the hotter the outside of the meat will get, even if you pull out the steak at 115 exactly. If you want the steak to be as even as possible, you want the oven temperature to be as low as possible.
The market cap to US GDP indicator is probably a bit dated in that the world is so globalised these days so companies like Apple are getting a cut of global GDP rather than US GDP.
Can someone clarify what they mean by resting uncovered on the fridge?

I remember being told once that food should always be stored covered in the fridge. Is that another myth?
I do this in a smoker sometimes. Smoke to 100*, rest, and then sear on grill or in pan. Don’t use much smoke.

Can be a really killer way to do ribeyes and porterhouse.
Thanks, replace 51% with (50 + small non zero)%, anything more than chance, assuming the RNG has no bias to exploit, is "doing the impossible" but not necessarily feasible to profit off of.
You can keep a beta in about a 1 gallon bowl if you use about a 1 inch thick substrate, provide some cover and don't over feed. Change half the water once a week and vacuum the substrate once a month. Placing it in a high traffic area or too close to a sound producing appliance like a stereo speaker or tv can induce unwanted stress.
I get what you're saying, but do you really need to "prove" it in this case?

I mean, assume that the Earth is flat, and then think through the consequences. It requires a long-running, global conspiracy at all levels of society. And all to hide the fact from... whom?

Edit to clarify: even if you can't "prove" it directly, you can probably show that it would have effects you do not observe.
I feel like the name atlas is going to get into a bit of conflict with mongoDB who's hosted db products are called atlas.
Seventy minutes?! Turn your oven up. Wow.
I managed to get it for $500 on ebay... but I just checked and it looks like similar ones are around $1000 now, so I guess I got lucky. An Axis PTZ dome camera turned upside down works great too though and there are a lot of those available on Ebay.
At a previous startup I worked at I suggested letting users paint weights on a map to influence routing and clustering.

Nothing specific, not anchors like additional stops on google maps but like "this is a neighborhood to locals" that would influence clustering and "avoid this area" for routing so the algorithm would use interstates or not based on what appeared more optimal even with just using time or distance as a cost.
I get this all the time. I can only ever dream of joining Facebook, Google, or Microsoft, ethics aside, but because I’m an immigrant from a no-name university, nobody gives a fuck about us of course.

Americans be like: “man, this 400k USD job is so boring, I need better work-life balance”

Meanwhile Europeans have to make do with 60k EUR jobs with zero work-life balance but hey, at least we have free healthcare, right?

Free healthcare that costs us half our salary. Cool.

This is a great online open access resource. I remember when you had to buy the book.

Stanford deals with modern British and Americal philosophy very well. I do not think they do a good job of understanding or explaining continental philosophy very well. Doe anyone know of any continental philosophy online open access encyclopedias?
I had this exact idea and have been working on it. Have almost exactly your bill of materials. Glad to know there are others out there who find this interesting, great work!

I was always worried about making it a public data source. Kinda seems like it could be potentially dangerous, but that’s completely paranoid speculation. Thanks for sharing!
If you read Kenji's reverse-sear guide, I think you'll see that I'm right in the middle of his suggested temperature range. I've also triangle-tested steaks against circulator cooks; I'm confident I'm getting even cooks. :)

I just double checked, and not only is my temp right, but my timings are just about his timings too. I'm getting his mid-rare result 5 minutes faster than he does, but again, I'm cooking in a convection toaster oven, and I'm guessing he tested in a "real" oven.
Sonic Pi, a programmable instrument, has sparklines, which are typically used to represent sequences of midi notes.
Declarative schema management provides some nice properties that aren't present in imperative/migration-based tools. I'm the creator of a widely-used declarative tool for MySQL/MariaDB called Skeema, and I wrote a blog post summarizing some advantages a few years back: https://www.skeema.io/blog/2019/01/18/declarative/

You are correct that renames are problematic with declarative tools, but in production renames are problematic in general because of deploy-order concerns. Best practice with schema changes is always for applications to be able to work fine with both the old and new schema, and renames typically break this, as most ORMs / database interface layers don't support this.

So renames already require a special process at companies that even allow renames in production (in my experience, many do not). Skeema treats them as an out-of-band activity; it gets out of your way and you handle the rename outside of the tool, and then can use Skeema to update your repo afterwards. If you accidentally try to do a rename inside the tool, it will treat it as a drop-and-create, but it prevents the push from proceeding since it detects it is destructive.
>The complaining gets old, but then again, memory leaks, overrruns and underruns and other C footguns get old, too.

Agreed. C is an old language, but at the time it was a very good language. One can argue the choice nowadays, but comparing it to PL/1?

I typically see strip steaks for way cheaper than filets per pound at the market (US).

Since it's so tender, I've always felt filet are OK to cook a little more well, and you solve for the flavor with sauce, seasoning, or marinade.
> The two issues have basically nothimg to do with one another.

Again, this excludes both the political climate and the republican agenda.

In a town or city with a republican majority, these laws would enable parents to exclude any textbooks deemed “not appropriate” from children curriculum.
Genuinely wondering: Are we at the point where people feel nostalgic about early 2000s computing?

As someone who was in their mid to late teens at the time, I find nostalgia for Windows XP in particular a bit funny because back then, people couldn’t disable the new UI and activate the “classic look” (Windows NT/9x style) fast enough.
I should clarify that I’m mostly guessing on your bill of materials. There are only a few obvious choices for this project.
The transparency push would effectively veto race and gender teachings--the bet being that any teacher pushing leftist doctrines would be buried under parent complaints. Needless to say, this has been a very successful bet thus far! The ideas in question are evidently too repulsive to survive even the faintest sunlight.
I didn't pay for mine, it was my first touchscreen phone provided by work. But I checked prices out of curiosity, and as I recall it was north of 400 € -- around 450-480, I think. At the time, it was the hottest new thing on the market, so I'm sure it got cheaper after a while; perhaps you got yours a bit later? Or maybe it was just more expensive here in Finland than elsewhere; pretty much everything seems to be.
