There are plenty of reasons to do and not do all of the things you listed.

I toast my peppercorns before cracking them for Thai and Vietnamese dishes or whenever I need smoke without piquancy.

I don't saute with EVOO because it's got one of the lowest smoke points. I also don't necessarily want everything I dress to taste like olive oil, and I use a range of fats for complement.

Salt, like many ingredients, takes time to distribute, so adding it at the end won't enhance a dish unless the desired flavor is "salt". Soups, stews, and meat all benefit from pre-salting. Dissolving salt in water before adding it to doughs and batters is better than adding it dry is better than baking without salt and adding it at the end. Time is key.

Garlic depends on the dish. I frequently use raw grated garlic in South American and Korean, cook it low and slow until it's sticky golden and then add fresh right off the heat for "American" Italian, or crush a clove to saute in oil and then discard for traditional Italian. I mostly agree about the herbs, but I also cook with them add more for garnish.

I've got some eclectic culinary styles and preferences by most standards, so I usually fish a little during conversation so I can taylor for my guests' tastes without making it obvious. The point is really to have a good time.
OS updates extend the lifetime of a device, not reduce it.

Another great example is fuel economy standards - the government says "no you cannot sell a car that has fewer than X mpg after the year Y" and it has done wonders for our energy policy despite the government doing what they can to keep gas prices down.
Walmart Canada has used blockchain [1] to better their supply chains systems. I suspect when you say you "haven't found one legitimate use case for blockchain" you're referring to the consumer space based on current offerings. I would argue that "blockchain" just as an idea and technology has plenty of use cases.

I believe in a decentralized web, but one that you don't need a data center to participate in; nor, a buy in to participate.

As at the end if the day, that's what the web was back in the day. And still is if you ignore the main stays.

It's silly really, but it's more of a question as to what is possible with access to a boundless tape of computers. How do you organize and for what purpose.

There's a simple test for readability. Someone familiar with the codebase reads the code and tries to understand what it does (a.k.a. a code review).

I don't think Apple really wants you to buy their monitor for use on a PC. It's just a support headache, between the cables and graphics cards and refresh rates and gamma and such.

Everything on the product page suggests it was only designed for Mac:
https://www.apple.com/studio-display/

That it happens to work on a PC at all is, I guess, an unintentional side effect that they'd rather not even acknowledge. You can try it unsupported but it's not their problem...

They've never been good at supporting standards not invented there. Hell, ever tried to use a Magic Mouse with a PC? Everything about it feels completely off. Part of me wonders if subtle incompatibilities, where hardware works 80% of the way, is maybe even part of their deliberate strategy to introduce small headaches to the PC experience to frustrate you into switching.

(Of course OSX has its own share of frustrations too, but nothing like using PC hardware on a Mac or vice versa).
Actually, can you list some successful conservative cancellings from last decade?

In my experience, the successful ones are many decades old, and the more recent ones are unsuccessful. I mean, I don’t think heavy metal or dungeons and dragons have been meaningfully cancelled in any sense, and last time conservatives seriously tried to do so was two decades ago.

I agree that conservatives also attempt to cancel, it just doesn’t work when they do.
One answer could actually be better than the other. However these answers and problems are just essays of qualitative experiences. People can debate with each other endlessly on these things but until these answers are formally defined so we can create logical theorems off of them, we will never know definitively which is better.

As long as there's no catastrophic failure nature doesn't always necessarily choose the most fittest mutation. Just what works better than the competition. And there are multiple factors at play here. A company with better marketing could do better than a company with better technology, hence selection pressure on technology is negated.

What ends up succeeding is the cohesive whole. Every metric of the company including the CEO, funding, marketing, luck and everything else being the best defines "fittest". This means if everything else is the best but your technology is the worst you still succeed. Hence bad technology continues to propagate and exist within the industry.

It's sort of the same reason why cancer still exists. Why hasn't natural selection eliminated cancer?

I have heared this over and over from people since when Bitcoin was $200.

Bitcoin mining is sadly somewhat centralized, but people fleeing Ukraine and Russia sometimes don’t have much choice of how they move all their net worth through the borders.

A CEO of an American company with Russian employees said that Bitcoin practically saved their lives and the CEO could help them escape the totalitarian regime.

AD controllers are a pain to maintain in the future though. At a BigCo I was SRE at, there were some running on ancient versions of Windows. The funny thing to me is, nobody was quite certain what exactly it gave access to. The support team would need to reset passwords for users on a weekly basis though. It was a huge mess.

Do those characteristics somehow automatically equate to some expectation about the hackability of the device? Must hardware creators cater to a niche part of their user base just because they use those components?

Don’t get me wrong. I like to tinker, and I’ve had plenty of fun using hardware for unintended use cases. But I don’t understand the seeming entitlement that some feel that Nintendo is not worthy of their purchase.

Readability has very little to do with styling.

It's about clearly and concisely expressing ideas.

Leave styling to linters. Reviewers should be focusing on how the code is communicating.
The majority of people in the world? No, that's correct. The majority of people who use Ethereum today, or hang out on HN and would be inclined to do so? Absolutely feasible. I was recently set straight on this[0]. Things have been improving a lot even since that blog post by vb, and ongoing efforts are still progressing. And note that in the linked thread, I was pushing for full archive nodes. While it's desirable that this is feasible to have a healthy network, most people have their needs served by having pruned full nodes, which requires a fraction of the storage space. Also, several clients (at least geth and
erigon) allows for split storage, where you have recent/hot state on faster storage like nvme, and historical archive on a larger drive.

If you are up for it, you may want to give it another shot. My 3400G now handles this fine, alongside other workloads.

I have not tried myself yet, but it does seem realistic to run a full node on an rpi4b with usb3 storage now, if you don't need to run heavy RPC queries on it.

It seems to be common practice to do the initial sync on a beefier machine with more RAM and IO, and then migrate over to a more lightweight instance for the ongoing.

the main thing is probably the 2d scrolling
> Probably the most famous examples are the strips where the creator said, "Okay, I'm done." Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbes, Far Side, Boondocks... They said what they wanted to say and decided that they wanted to move on. In Charles Schulz's case, that was after after fifty years; in Bill Watterson's case, that was after ten years. Regardless of the timing or the reasons, the creator decided they didn't want to work on the strip any more.

Peanuts and Charles Schultz isn't a good example here. Schultz wrapped up Peanuts because he had terminal cancer. He died shortly afterward.
Probably because they had some other expensive software that only worked with old IE versions. The cost of fixing the other software was probably more than what it cost to pay you to support yours.

Regarding 11, Seriouseats/Kenji did the definitive scientific exploration of the hard boiled egg:

https://www.seriouseats.com/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boil...

I've inadvertently run this experiment many times. For years I followed Alton's original Good Eats instruction and started with cold water. Shells were always hard to peel. After Kenji's article I switched to adding eggs to boiling water, and it makes a huge difference in peelability. Also, cook time is more precise because the water temperature is constant; different ranges/burners/pots/waterlevels boil at different rates.

The only problem with starting in boiling water is that if your eggs come directly from the fridge (ie store bought eggs) some will often crack from the heat shock. This can be mitigated by putting eggs in lukewarm water for a few minutes first. Or just get chickens and keep your eggs at room temperature :-)
Truecaller was a royal PITA when it came to privacy until I figured out how to fuck with the system.

1. Anyone that has your phone number and Truecaller automatically gets you a name:phone_number entry in the Truecaller database. To get around this, I created a Truecaller account using my own phone number on a phone with zero contacts and gave myself a fake name(with my choice of subtle cuss words). This takes priority over other entries in the database. Am not sure if it works that way anymore.

2. Anytime I need to look up a number, I sign in using a dummy gmail account that I have.

There were a good few years where people looked up my number on Truecaller and it showed up a very obscene name that would shock em.

I hate Truecaller so much!

> How is provividing updates reducing the lifespan ofa device?

Nobody claims it does.

If a manufacturer goes out of business ot decides to stop providing updates, you can be stuck with a piece of junk if you don't control your device. If a device is designed to only allow automatic updates direct from the manufacturer and you have no control over the version of software your device runs, your perfectly functional hardware can become a useless piece of junk. Since updates often further lock devices down to make it harder run your own software, being unable to revert older versions of the software on your device can directly prevent you from being able to modify your device to make it functional.

This is all not just idle speculation, it happens all the time.
ah right so they do this to avoid having a proper secure enclave, like a very focused secure storage capability related to what the efuses are logically related to. Makes sense, I guess i just assumed they would have a secure enclave like phones etc as consoles are one of the original 'trusted computing' devices that people buy and obviously to avoid piracy etc having it work properly is important but also hardware BOM is a consideration too.

I guess the secure enclave having storage introduces another attack too, wiping/corrupting/replacing that storage somehow, thus efuses, simpler and more straightforward.
All of the cryptocurrency and "web3" marketing (including the proponents up and downthread!) seem to be interested only in the money, and not how it can actually help people any better than the existing products they're replacing. The web, for all of its faults, actually does help people with things. It's also very feasible and reasonable, for instance, for a pizza place to run their own website! This is a thing that has been done! If they can't do it themselves, it's easy to set one up! Very affordably! And all of the cryptocurrency and blockchain stuff seems to firmly go in the opposite direction, with the complexity seemingly the point and the resources required for even the simplest thing multiplying endlessly.
Yeah, we built a tool for managing postgresql databases with nix. It's called schematic: https://gitlab.com/deltaex/schematic

We've been using it in prod for a couple years. There's a couple dozen production deployments outside the company as well. It's open source, MIT licensed. It doesn't have documentation yet, so it's currently only for people that don't mind reading the source or have talked to us directly about it.

It uses Nix because postgresql has C extensions, which can depend on anything in the software universe. Schema depends on extensions, so it's not technically possible to separate schema migrations from Nix without duct tape abd glue. So schematic is a sort of "distribution" of PostgreSQL that has a package manager (for extensions, schema, content, etc), and manages revisions.

If this is interesting to others here, I can do a "Show HN" post after getting the docs in order.
I'm a super negotiation-phobic person. :D

At the end of the day, the big gains don't come from the words you say. 80% of the price reduction just comes from finding the dealer who able/willing to sell the same thing you can get from somewhere else, for less money.

The ultimate superpower in the negotiations isn't words based at all - it's walking away if it's not a good deal. This is the ultimate in being taken seriously.

It's so much less scary because you aren't doing one single critical negotiation any more, it's a series of low stakes / no stakes conversations.

In fact, you aren't really "NEGOTIATING" like people picture it, you are merely having an artificially slow conversation to see if your price and their price happen to overlap. If so, you buy, and if not, no problem. If the price isn't good enough, you leave.

(and if a dealer happens to throw some theatrics in, you can just laugh inside and tell your friends a good story later.)
Slack is not a fan of containers evidently.
Some people might wear these glasses but the majority will not. The developers of smart glasses just don't seem to understand that in order for the glasses to be widely accepted they need to be fashionable. Or at least they can't look dorky. Every single one of the smart glasses I've seen are functional but they are dorky. Developers need to fix that.

I'm not an expert, but as I understand it there isn't a complete theory about why high-temperature superconductors work, so inventing new HTS types is sort of a matter of just trying different materials and hoping you get lucky. If this new research fills in some important gaps then it might make it much easier to discover better materials.

These would have some practical applications. Cheaper MRI machines. Long-distance lossless power transmission. Tokomak-style nuclear fusion reactors use superconductors to maintain magnetic confinement, so better HTS materials mean better magnets, which means a more efficient reactor that doesn't have to be quite so big. (The MIT Sparc reactor design uses ReBCO tape.)
This seems like you live in a crazy bubble. $1,000 a year is an astronomical amount to most people. Netflix costs $120. Hulu is something like $60 (with ads). There is no way most people can afford that to read articles. Given that digital goods have almost no cost of distribution, better to try for $100/year for more than 10x the people.
I think you should salt as little as is necessary, as late as possible, if for no other reason that you can't unsalt a dish. Salting and tasting early and often is important for improvisational cooking, of course. And obviously that includes stuff like salting meat before roasting, salting cooking water for starchy foods and vegetables, etc. But I've seen people add salt to their sautéed aromatics, and there's really no reason to do that.
> blaming investors is nonsense.

Pardon my French, but this is bullshit. Activist investors pressuring buzzfeed are directly responsible for their actions. At best, they looked at the orgs under the umbrella and decided that the best move is to axe BFN. Experience tells me that either they're focused on short term profits, or silencing journalists they dislike.

And, yes, this is partly an indictment of the entire western economic system. Rapacious focus on short term profits will be our downfall. This is merely one example of many.
The whole idea of the blockchain is to prevent the double spending problem.

You realize that hacker sends funds to his own wallet -> ETH Foundation decides to roll back and contacts their miner bros, who had ZERO problems performing a 51% attack -> ETH Foundation can send the same funds again is essentially a double spend? And that the network is centralized and tightly controlled by $CEO_OF_BLOCKCHAIN_ENTITY?

Also, it’s not just their transactions who get rolled back, but everyone’s! People who sent goods after seeing 20 confirmations on the blockchain already dispatched them and lost both: the funds AND the goods.

How is this fair?
