Indeed. I've worked in places with very fancy machines and with nice beans. I nearly always drink black coffee, so I can certainly taste differences between various coffees, though I don't think I can reliably describe them. I just like that it varies from place to place.

However, my default coffee option at home is a simple cafetière (aka French press) and a kettle. I don't do much else other than, if I'm paying attention, waiting a minute or two too let the water of the boil. Nearly always, I'm as happy with this as I am with the fanciest barista coffee.

Also, it is interesting how much the taste and experience varies even with the same machine/method and same coffee. Sometimes it'll be amazing; sometimes, what is probably objectively the same thing just falls flat. I assume it's connected strongly to mood as well as whatever else I have eaten recently, ambience, expectations and so on. I can't think of another food or drink with the same variation between experiences, except perhaps alcohol, which I don't use often enough to make the same claim.
Visiting 1 article then bouncing is the most common pattern for blogs by a long way.

Also the amount of time taken to download a CSS file is usually much less than the round trip time for requesting the file. Especially in the p90/p99 end of the latency distribution. Here in Australia, I can download a 10kb css file in less than 1ms. But simply requesting that CSS file from America will take 200ms.

For a blog, inlining the css is absolutely the way to go. Especially if the css is small (which it should be!).

It’s an anecdote, not a hypothesis.
Even if Temporal ships tomorrow, its minimum 5 years for most applications to take advantage of it, so you're either polyfilling with feature detection or waiting it out using libraries like `date-fns` or `luxon` to fill the gap.

strings & numbers are WASMs strong point, so if you can pack the locale information tightly in a binary format, you might actually win out in the medium term. This shouldn't be a years long project by any means. And frankly, with the way enterprises move, you'll always have some client (at least in my business) where I need to support some modernish browser that may not have Temporal, so if this is more performant (we do alot of date time datasets, so yes, thats part why I'm looking at this) why not?

It could also be the wrong solution. I'll found out one way or another.
But they don't govern themselves, do they? There's no sense where you can say that the people of Iran are free to govern themselves and do so. You can hardly say that about western liberal democracies, let alone Iran.
Oh wow. Yeah definitely a US thing then. Completely makes sense, sadly.

Since the intent of the vaccination is to trigger an immune response very similar to the virus I think we should assume that all side effects the virus can cause could also be seen in vaccine trials.

The only symptom that I have yet to hear from the vaccination is loss of smell/taste.
I think a similar thing happened with the 1949 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine. It remains unvacated.

Sex exploitation happens from politicians, yes, but also cops, johns, pimps, traffickers, etc etc.

The less legal sex work is, the more underground it needs to be. The more underground it is, the less recourse women have to address exploitation.
Careful what you wish for. It's entirely possible that increased rates will depress house prices but, on balance, houses still get less affordable.

That $2.1M house might go down to $1.5M, but if rates go from 6% to 10% you'll be paying more each month (assuming 20% down, borrowing over 30 years)

Worse, if prices continue to sink you'll be trapped in negative equity.
About the same in the US from many local roasters. Slightly more I guess but not super significant.
or perhaps, he took the gig at Oculus because he had more than enough money to live on for the rest of his days? I guess I don't see that as evidence one way or another.

The article says they worked there in the 80s/90s.
My wife generally buys the coffee, sometimes it’s Peet’s something or other roast, sometimes Starbucks breakfast blend, sometimes ground and sometimes whole bean (we have a grinder but are often too lazy to use it.) When I buy it it’s usually Folgers. I also get coffee at McDonald’s, Starbucks, gas stations, hotels, etc. None of these are really distinguishable to me.

My friend made pour over coffee once, I don’t remember it tasting any different at all.

I can tell if someone made it “strong” or not, mostly because if it’s really strong I feel jittery and over-caffeinated after. It does taste “stronger” too, but not so much different as just less watery vs more watery.
I have seen similar things several times. When the business language is say english and there are people who use any other langauge at work that is a big red no-no. This applies to any language not just english.

First, people do gossip and "talk shit" about other team members in their presence by using another langauge. I have seen an english speaking team member who was previously married to a speaker of a certain language but at her current role several team members were speaking that language at work and she heard all the terrible comments they made about her and it was overall a terrible situation. That person was the only person I have ever seen get bullied at work and I am truly ashamed for not having done something about it at the time.

Second, even if what is discussed in the second language is something innocent, it will be interpreted as anything but eventually. You will never have adequate trust and synergy between teams and team members because of this. I had a person who spoke yet another language on the team tell me his conspiracy theory about the second language speakers and how they conspire. he even told me a person who started in the company at the same team as him and did everything he did but got ahead of him because he learned a certain language.

Third, even if no one interprets the second language conversation as malicious in nature it will make team members feel excluded.

There is simply no need for it, if everyone is required to speak the first language. Work is work, off work no one cares what langauge you speak.

The last sentence you said about discriminatory hiring practices, I believe you even if it may be hard to prove. In the US you have a lot of options to fight this, generally speaking HR would do a lot for you just to stop a potential lawsuit.

In my experience, this issue is mainly caused by english speakers who are afraid to be considered racist or something for requiring english. They only see racism as coming from a white english speaker while in reality just about every person is racist unless taught otherwise and it gets worse when nationality and race are the same thing to some people. The same standards that apply to prevent discrimination by majority white english speakers should apply everywhere.

If I was betting on diversity of departments blindly at any US bigcorp I am fairly confident my guesses would be mostly right. This isn't right or sustainable.

Tribalism is a cancerous disease at the work place.

For any corporation, people who work within a specific country should be required to use a specific language while at work unless speaking to a client. This should be an immediate firable offense.
Reeks of oversimplification and hand-waving explanations. The Egyptians clearly understood very advanced geometry and methods to measure the world.

Everything the Egyptians did was intentional.

How could they build statues if they could only reason in 2d space? That makes no sense.

In a way many of their creations are a combination of spacetime(3d and time) accompanied by 2d storytelling as a form of narrative much like we write on the internet except maybe more comic book like.
Someone should write the equivalent for beer. Maybe my palate isn't very advanced, but I do not like fancy beer. I only like cheap beer.

Same with coffee. Same with most food. Not sure if it was my steady diet of microwave dinners growing up but the fancier the food the less I usually like it.
Are you missing out by just not drinking diner or airplane coffee? I just drink something else in those situations.
Is there ever a reason to go for the smaller factor? At work, we got 13" macbooks, and I wish we'd gotten the one-size-up ones. I'm a reasonably healthy human being, and can easily carry the slightly larger version - not that I do, because 99% of the time it's sitting on my desk, anyway. When I'm away from my large monitor, it irks me that I don't have more screen real-estate.
I'd be more flexible.

More a reflection of people having trouble with nonbinary thinking.

Research shows that sitting all day is not good...and many people take that as meaning they should not sit at all. They think their only choices are sitting all day or standing all day.

You can see a similar thing with diets. Someone reads that lowering carbs might have some benefits so they try to change their diet from one that has 60% of its calories from carbs to one that has 10% or less. In reality they are likely to get many of the low carb benefits if they cut from 60% to 30-40%, and 40% is a heck of a lot easier to do than 10% (and so also something one is more likely to stick with long term and so actually have a chance to see benefits).

Look at discussions here on HN about climate change, health and safety regulation, crime prevention, privacy regulation, transgender issues, and no doubt many others and you'll find a lot of people overlooking the possibility that anything other than the most extreme opposite approaches might be viable.
I’m sorry, are you saying that paying for a weather app and 4 different note taking apps is not a good financial decision?
It’s also not entirely equal if native Chinese, German, or Dutch speaking colleagues are constantly required to discuss work in a non-native language, while native English speakers are not.

We operate globally and official internal language and company docs are in English (and optionally others) and probably 99% of cross-cultural discussions are in English, but I take no offense when colleagues switch to Dutch or German temporarily in the name of efficiency.
The lead author is in women's studies, not real science.

I quote from their abstract: "...among a convenience sample...39% of people on gender-affirming hormones"

convenience sample means "I asked my friends on social media"

And 39% on gender-affirming hormones! Yes, I know trans is all the rage now, but it's not 39% of the population! It's a highly biased sample.
I solved this by simply not using the streaming services as my catalog service. Make the list in something all encompassing like IMDB so when you pull it up you can quickly find what services have your content available instead of the other way around. Jumping on Netflix so I can find what I want to watch is just backwards. If I have a catalog of movies & shows marked watched later and I can't ever seem to find any available on <x service> then why would I keep an <x service> subscription.

This comes with the bonus that recommendations are based on what you have liked across all services not what the service has it thinks it can convince you is good enough based on only what that service has convinced you to watch before. It also keeps your watch history in one place which makes referencing easier.
What features are incomplete?
Cheap beer amusingly is often some of the hardest to “craft” - pilsners require some skill.

Home brewery stores get people asking if they can make Budweiser to start and have to be steered toward a stout or Porter as those are much more forgiving.
I paid $5/pack for Nat Shermans in SF in 1994/95. IIRC there were super cheap brands for around $2 but they were skanky, Shermans and Dunhills and American Spirits were all around $4-5.
I can't stand espresso and pourover snobbery, but I admit I've gotten picky about the beans. Most beans I find in the grocery store taste like burnt cardboard to me now. I found a nice online indie roaster (https://swroasting.com/) that ships amazing light roast beans for the same price as my local retail. I also found that using a thermal carafe instead of a burner makes a huge difference (keeping the coffee hot on a burner makes it offgas and lose flavor quickly). I value my time so I use a grind-and-brew, the Breville Grind Control is the best one I know.
I’ve gone through several coffee phases, some bordering on extreme — extremely sensitive weighing, timing, $2,000 grinders, $10k espresso machine, etc.

My happy medium is just doing basic pour overs, but with really good locally roasted coffee. To me, this is the cheapest and best approach.

In fact, even if pour overs require too much work (weighing, timing), then just do drip. But do it with quality coffee.

Quality is really about roasting time and date. You don’t want old coffee (anything older than a few weeks isn’t good), and low temp. Dark roast is burnt. It’s not a flavor. It’s used to remove the taste from shitty beans. If you use quality beans you want light to medium. This usually isn’t an option with quality beans anyway. They typically only sell the coffee roasted one way. So in most cases, you won’t even have to worry about.

Anyway, I guess my point is the opposite of the article. You don’t have to drink shit coffee to save money.
Sure once a year for flu shots with different strains. This is the exact same protein again and again. Nothing like this has been done before outside of allergy vaccines from what my allergist told me who is to say at the very least skeptical about it.
depriving one of potential profits is certainly a form of theft.
Yes, actually. Works perfectly fine on Firefox but on both Chrome and Bromite it causes the browser to crash. My phone just let me kill the app after a few seconds but there's definitely something weird going on here.

Interesting, I have Bromite set up to disable JIT by default, so if it's because it weird JS, it's a bug in both the JIT engine and in the interpreter.

Edit: I doubt it's JS related because this site doesn't seem to use JS (unless there's some UA sniffing going on). I'm guessing this is a Chrome bug, hopefully not an exploitable one!

I agree his choice of words was not helpful, so if that's the sticking point then we agree.

I interpreted your post though to be a general sentiment that we shouldn't even voice negative opinions, even if they are done so politely. I certainly wouldn't agree with that perspective. As someone who is rather neutral to British humor, I enjoy seeing both positive and negative conversation around the subject.

Tons of people need that - how else do you hang pictures on stone walls? And they are not so giant - they are the same size as regular drills.
I think coffee is a lot more subtle than fancy beers. There are pretty big differences in taste among craft beer styles and breweries, and exploring the variety is part of the fun.

I love coffee, but don't differentiate it nearly as much. I can enjoy a fancy expresso just as much as a cup of supermarket coffee.
I don't care much for coffee, but I do indulge in luxury bread and butter.

Any local sourdough and Kerrygold butter is a good start. It's not thr best or anything, but it's very nice if you've never tried fancy bread and butter.
Sorry I wrote this on my phone at the gym and should have proofread better.
WFH I get up and move around a lot more often. In the office I'd just feel like a distraction, glued to the chair with a guilty feeling
Just want to extend on this point. I have about 700 hours across playstation and now just started to play on pc. I played heavily during Forsaken through to the mid-Beyond Light DLC where I dropped off. Having just returned, I find the game to feel really fresh if not a little confusing at times with the subtle UI layout changes and things that are now deprecated in my inventory which I now must discard. Overall my friends and I are happy with the current state of the game especially when you compare it to Halo (though I acknowledge this isn't a straight apples to apples comparison).

In terms of old content being lost, the only part I'm actually quite annoyed at is the sunsetting of old weapons. The Forsaken campaign and all that stuff, I don't care about as much. To me the part that stings is that if I worked hard to get The Recluse, it should still be useable to this day.
I bought a very expensive espresso machine thinking I'd cut down on my coffee shop visits. Turns out, I use the machine maybe a few times a month and I go even more frequently to coffee shops. I realized I don't go to coffee shops for the coffee itself, I go because I want to get out of the house, take a walk, sip good coffee and enjoy the ambiance of the world.
Netflix was a brand. A household word for streaming, ingrained in popular culture. "Netflix and chill". They had absolutely no idea how to cultivate and protect that brand, and now they're giving up and selling ad space. It wasn't so long ago they were mocking Blockbuster for being out of touch, and now here we are.

For system software like that, sure. But for application software like Discord and VS Code and games, you'll still experience it.
Absolutely! I enjoy my daily routine and all of the nuances associated with it (whether that's just the result of addiction is a different conversation). I was just suggesting that the parent comment doesn't need to use coffee for their caffeine fix if they don't enjoy it.

I am hard pressed to assume that you are unaware that the tests we are talking about here are lateral flow tests. And while their accuracy is a lot worse then PCR tests, it is still a far far better indicator for whether you are infected then your vaccine status. Just compare the lateral flow test accuracy with the vaccine efficiency at preventing infecting others.

It is really quite simple. Nobody with any knowledge on the topic can in good conscience say that you can use the fact that you are vaccinated with a leaky vaccine as an indicator for not being infected. That is quite simply not how the COVID vaccines work. This is extremly dangerous misinformation. And due to the fact who spreads it, a lot more dangerous then any boogeymen of idiots drinking bleach. Focusing on those caricatures and ignoring misinformation spread by officials is utterly irresponsible and evidence for a lack of scientific integrity.
I’m in the same boat. There’s some truly top quality stuff that I’ll defend to the death, and some utter rubbish. The US has the same though - they’ve got excellent stuff like Eddie Murphy and Arrested Development, and awful unfunny shit like Owen Benjamin and Big Bang Theory
>"Once upon a time, Nix pioneered reproducible builds: it tries hard to ensure that two builds of the same derivation graph produce an identical result. Unfortunately, the evaluation of Nix files into such a derivation graph isn’t nearly as reproducible, despite the language being nominally purely functional.

For example, Nix files can access arbitrary files (such as ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix), environment variables, Git repositories, files in the Nix search path ($NIX_PATH), command-line arguments (--arg) and the system type (builtins.currentSystem).

In other words, evaluation isn’t as hermetic as it could be.

Some American comedy (Parks and Rec, Brooklyn 99, Cheers, Community, etc) is amazing. Most of it is crap (2 1/2 Men, Big Bang, 90% of SNL, 100% of "middle aged dude with a family and a wife that's way too good looking" sitcoms).

Some British comedy (Fawlty Towers, Black Books, Fleabag) is amazing. Most of it is crap (Mr Bean, Keeping Up Appearances, One Foot in the grave).

There are some terrible British bands, and some great French cars.

Generalising about culture is pointless.
I'm talking about products intended for devs, developer tools. I'm asking about ways people found for getting early adopters to try it and provide their feedback.

Maybe this will help you (and maybe I will just sound like a jerk shrugs), but the pandemic didn't make you unfit and put on weight, you and your diet did. I have been struggling with this for the last few years and while pacing about (or any movement really) certainly helps, you can veeery easily outeat whatever you burned; our bodies are freakishly efficient. I would recommend trying to take a look at whether your diet changed while working from home and if not, trying to change it up so that it corresponds to your current activity levels.

... or if you don't care, then don't, it would have just helped me if someone pointed this out to me earlier in my life, so I try to do it for other people.
For all its warts Visual Studio is hands down the best IDE, the only thing even close is JetBrains.
