You probably mean vanillin to vanilla (where its extract is the real deal, just a processed bean)?

Sometimes an 'essence' vs. 'extract' distinction is made, but double-checking that prior to commenting it seems that's not reliable, they're also sometimes considered synonyms.

Vanillin is no substitute for actual vanilla. At least in cream for custard or something - things where it's best used anyway - maybe if the thing already tastes 'flavoured' (I sort of know what I mean by that, but have no idea how to write it.. I realise it sounds silly) then there's no difference, like a sponge cake for example.
That's really ignorant given that Intel has thousands of software engineers supporting hundreds of opensource projects you use daily. Including Linux where Intel has consistently a top ten contributor for years.
Yeah so if you can math.round or math.floor them a bit the paths are a lot cleaner - if you're dynamically creating them anyway though then I don't know that it gains you much performance. It might gain some performance on render for larger maps? Not sure.

There's this news site called Coda Story that this reminds me of. When they originally started their whole thing was that they do 1 or 2, maybe 3 stories per year. And they have an entire team of journalists just focused on those single topics. Instead of blasting you with surface levels introductions to a number of topics you'd get a really deep dive into some specific issues

Unfortunately they've slowly moved away from that model. Still some great journalism coming out of it, but not very novel any more
I think Rogers bought Comcast’s XFinity IP TV infrastructure. It’s safe to say that Canadian ISPs don’t innovate at all: just trail others.
The problem is that for the economy passenger, low fares really seem to be the end-all in terms of purchasing decisions. Legacy carriers were forced to resort to the same tactics low cost carriers did for checked baggage, because their passengers were leaving in droves, never mind that after fees prices were pretty much the same.

The “decent medium” market segment is actually fairly small. Hence why there aren’t really 100% premium economy cabins, they wouldn’t fill.

I would think the best workaround (until carriers/handsets fix this) is to change your cell network - which you can also do if you have poor signal in an area: On iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > eSIM name > Network Selection and turn off “Automatic”. Then pick a different network.

Admittedly, this is neither fast nor easy/intuitive. As pointed out in a sibling comment, the fault lies with Apple and Google for not forcing the 911 call on a different network after it fails.

The fix carriers are discussing sounds like finding a way to re-route 911 calls over other networks on the same tower, or some other failover mechanism. It’s not clear if that would be simpler than having a handset try again on a different network.

I'm using the kjvbible_x10.txt corpus and using hyperfine on the Mac.

I just took a look on Linux and my code that is now running 1.43x faster on the Mac is only 1.02x faster on Ubuntu 22.04. But, again, it's really that it's a Rust commercial -- by leaning on the stdlib, it's possible to get straightforward, but still really fast code.

I have my Ham license in America and so it may be different for our maple syrup friends up north. But one thing that is stressed repeatedly throughout preparing for the exam is that when an emergency happens most of the restrictions fly out the door as the emphasis is on helping address the emergency.

Of course I'm sure this does run the line of if this is emergency or not.
I often thought the same till I got a front facing finger print unlocker.

1) When my phones mounted in the car, it makes it a lot easier to unlock vs the back

Counter point: You can and probably should set your phone to unlock by it's self when plugged into your car.

2) It makes it a lot easier to unlock the phone when it's lying down on your desk or table

Counter point: Same as above, set your phone to not be locked in a familiar space either via Wifi home or similar.

3) As another commenter pointed out, I use finger print unlock for MFA more than anything else at this point and having it on the front screen vs. the back is very handy.

4) Though there's no doubt I get my finger print scan 'wrong' more often than I did on the front vs when it was on the back.

I don't mind it one way or another but I thought my feelings about a finger unlock under the screen to be more divisive but it hasn't been as shit as I thought it would. I.e., I still find the lack of a headphone jack to be a much stronger pain point.

Except that standard civil time cares about the overhead sun angle for some reason, that is why we use the day demarcations of UT1 instead of TAI. If we really decided as a society that we really no longer care, then we should switch standard civil time to TAI and do away with UTC entirely, not calcify it as some arbitrary offset from TAI.
FWIW it sounds like it's in the works now:

>Staffieri says Rogers has made meaningful progress on a formal agreement between carriers to switch 911 calls to one another’s networks automatically, even in the event of an outage on any single carrier’s network. He says the company is physically separating its wireless and internet services to create an “always on” network that meets a higher standard of reliability.

That's the entire point I'm making though...exception style semantics are the worst way of handling errors. Algebraic effects make it a little better. Error values are much better as a default paradigm.

Ie. Zig's error system which is not based on algebraic effects is best in class.

Async does carry that same cost, but it comes with capabilities you can't get otherwise and is optional. Any objections to it are a demonstration of my point, not a disagreement with it.
Right. Your VC was trying to convince you to start at the finish live. If only it were that easy!
That website is wrong. Price discrimination is perfectly legal unless it's done on the basis of a protected class (race, gender, etc.) or is deemed to be anticompetitive. But those are often the exception. Forms of price discrimination (bulk discounts, membership discounts, etc.) are exceedingly common and perfectly fine, as is price discrimination based on purchaser income or interest, its just often difficult to figure that out, but airlines and hotels commonly raise prices when you revisit their sites, under the assumption that you're more interested the second time around.
Sort of goes hand in hand though? If something's less attainable, it becomes more unique and peculiar, only natural to crave it or treat it as something special.

There's quite a difference between "used infrastructure built by the military for their needs" and "manufactured parts from intelligence programs that were the rejects from those production lines".

Especially the strong implication that Hubble is made out of lower tolerance parts, since they are rejects, is a claim that need significantly more evidence than what you provided here.

Pointing a telescope at something bright and nearby is easier than something very distant and dim, so the precision requirements are obviously in the opposite direction.

Well, I was pre-emptively explaining it, because I realised in mid-anecdote that printers don't need that kind of thing these days. Maybe you are right, and it is obvious to someone skilled in the arts, as the patent applications say!
It's just a normal SIM card internally on a flash chip.
An independent management infra would also help to assess as well as recover. There might be a need to require either such an independent network, or one that fully does not reuse your own internal network as a backup link for the management interface.
Completely agree with this approach. Nowadays when I come across interesting articles, podcasts, videos, etc I add them to collections. When a collection is mature enough I'll start actually reading through them. I find that when I dive into a topic repeatedly across a couple of days (in contrast to doing shallow dives in a much larger array of topics) things just feel... more meaningful. I'm more interested and I feel better able to have an in-depth conversation around those topics

Unfortunately this model of media digest can be really hard to maintain. Especially given that the entire media industry is very strongly moving in the opposite direction.

I wish there was better tools out there to organize reading lists like these, but I haven't found much and I haven't had much of a chance to actually finish one of the many related projects I've started. Maybe some day
Exactly, lets!
Varies by state. Some states allow you to have a kit car inspected and certified to drive on the street. Others require that the car be built from the frame of an already street legal vehicle. Some places put strict limits on the amount of miles it can be driven a year, and you'll likely need to shop around for specialty insurance to cover driving it.
That must have sucked. No pressure, just crush your cousins at life! :-/

They do need them, it's just that the buffer is built in to the printer now because memory and integration are so cheap.

The giant Kyocera printer at work has a little screen where it shows you it not only loading up the print buffer, but purging the information from the disk afterward so there is no trace of PII remaining.
> a single quote from a single astronomer whose only warning is...

It's not a quote, but the article also has Allen saying that "it could cost between US$10,000 and US$100,000 for each telescope to correct the problem, and that corrections will be tricky to implement."

It also has another astronomer claiming problems: "But separating time from rotation would mean that telescopes would no longer function properly, according to Patrick Wallace, an astronomer at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxford, UK. Most telescopes with a viewfinder wouldn't be immediately affected, but instruments that track satellites and other moving objects could feel the effects within a few years, Wallace warns."
You're right.

Private Health care is a joke, it enables you to skip the queue if you're willing to pay for private health care but you won't find me using them.

I elected to cancel my private health care this year, it means in terms of tax I'm slightly worse off by a couple of hundred dollars (AUD) or so. But it means it goes to the Government rather than a private healthcare fund that seeks to make a profit.

If I do need elective surgery in the future though, it's likely far away as a healthy 34 year old. I'll pay for it in cash which likely would only be double my out of pocket expenses for an elective surgery anyway.

I'm not sure your code is simplified either because of the modern features of C++ or because of the rewrite.

That said, I like the idea of rewriting old C++ code with modern C++. That'd be also a good way to learn modern C++ in a practical way and having legacy code serves well for this context ;-)
> It was here that several people in the front row – some of whom could have been partners of urologists attending the lecture before the evening ball – began to scream.

I kinda doubt this part. Weird as it is, urologists would be no stranger to erect penises. And why would they bring their wives to a boring medical lecture if they're not doctors? Sounds like some exaggeration for effect. I think it would have been more gasping or booing than screaming.

This whole injection thing sounds highly uncomfortable by the way, no wonder it didn't really take off. At least they found a better way soon after..

I wonder how it's propelled? Those don't look like drive wheels in front, and one wouldn't think that engaging the rear wheels would cause it to rotate, since the applied force seems like it would be exactly perpendicular to the front wheels.

Maybe they have a mechanism that engages the brakes on one of the rear wheels but not the other, causing it to turn? I'm not sure if that would work, and from the last part of the video it looks like one rear wheel is turning forward and the other is turning in reverse.

Alternatively, maybe they have some sort of weird mechanism that locks the drive shaft going to the rear-axle differential (forcing the wheels to turn opposite to each other) and then applies motive force to one of the wheels through an alternate mechanism, like a second drive shaft.

Or maybe it's just some kind of trickery, like they're just pulling the car with a rope that you can't see, or the clips of it accelerating in a circle is a time-reversed clip of it slowing down after being given a big push.

I struggled with the first 5x5 taking about 8 minutes, then 2.5 minutes, then less than one minute. I'm still not even sure what principle I'm using to solve these but it is enjoyable. It's mainly just rotating until I hit the right color and looking for the next 3+ joint to rotate.
In general, you can't do any kind of automated rollback when the network goes down (same deal for DNS, which is why I mentioned it -- similar datacenter-wide failures have been due to stuff like stampeding initialization herds, etc...). I get what you're saying, I'm just pointing out that it's a little naive. No matter how high you make your stack of abstractions, there's still a human being at the top of the stack with fat fingers.
No, I took a fat permenant marker and drew a giant dick and balls symbol on the ballot sheet and then stuffed it in the box.

If you don't "vote" you get fined $20, but voting has occured once you turn up and claim your ballot paper and get ticked off on the electroral roll, after that you can do what you want.

There was some talk (rumour) that these particular type of informal votes were being counted up as a means of tallying up general voter disaffection. Not sure if true.

I was particularly driven by two factors

a) Party voting policy whereby your local member is forced to vote along "party lines" more than 99.9% of the time, even if it is blatantly and severely against their constituants best interests.

b) The nature of the electoral system whereby if your vote is with a losing candidate, it might end up being redistributed on "preferences" that you have no say in, to decide the ultimate winner. This means it is possible that it is very hard to predict where your vote might actually end up at the time you cast it.
I have seen this happen to junior developers.

In hindsight I think it is much more effective to pair them up with a senior developer instead of waiting for a pattern to become apparent during the daily scrum.
It was a swing application (the company's deployment tooling).

I ran through the configuration definitions and for each element created a BufferedImage the preferred size of the associated component.

Then I rendered the component to the BufferedImage using BufferedImage::getGraphics, and Component::paint.

Then I saved the image as <definition>.PNG.

Nothing magical.
Syngas can be made from various sources, and of course the feedstock can affect the resulting composition. Atmospheric chemistry also plays a role. So reduction in NOx and in particular SOx are possible. But they are also high pressure, high temperature reactions, in particular in a turbine, and the principal component of the atmosphere is N2. So I think we’d have to see what happens.

On particulate pollution: soot and other particulates result from incomplete combustion, so I doubt there would be much change.

Note that particulate and SO2 pollution in the upper atmosphere reflect sunlight before it reaches the surface of the earth. So reduction in SOx and soot has actually allowed the earth to heat more! (It still was good that action was taken, and continues to be taken, on those pollutants)
