I have heard good things about Tim Ferriss' The Four Hour Chef, though I have not read it myself. What I like about it is that it seems to focus on the process of cooking, rather than giving you a list of recipes. It's about turning you into "someone who cooks" rather than documenting such and such recipe.

The rules of thumb, which I am paraphrasing from secondhand discussions about the book, are as follows:

1. Buy good ingredients.

2. Taste and smell as you go.

3. Herbs and spices are your friends.

4. Don't overcook.

I agree with all of them.

Here's the thing: cooking is a skill, like juggling or programming. Just knowing all the rules (techne) doesn't suffice to actually perform the act. You need to spend some time applying the principles to concrete situations (metis). The good news is that if you follow the above rules, you'll basically never make something inedible.

Another tip I can give you is to get familiar with substitution ingredients. Don't have any sour cream? Yogurt is probably fine.

Now, in direct contradiction with what I've been saying so far, let me share with you one of my favorite recipes that got me through my PhD. Cooking time: 10 mins.

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1 or two whole leeks, depending on how hungry you are

2. Sour cream (or whatever)

3. Bacon (or lardons, if you can find them, but seriously... whatever)

4. White wine (optional, but _really_ makes a difference. Prefer dry wine, but whatever.)

PREP:

1. Cut your leek in 1cm rings. Throw away the dark green part.

COOKING:

1. Cook your bacon until crispy, then crumble it and set it aside.

2. While the bacon is cooking, put some butter in a pan and cook your leeks until they're soft and slightly translucid (kinda like you would cook an onion). Don't sweat it; it's hard to fuck up.

3. Add bacon and sour cream. Stir.

4. Add white wine. Stir until you're happy with the consistency

Boom. Done. Keeps well in the fridge, to boot.
The devil is in the details, just looking at revenue won't reveal the full picture.

- DCAI, revenue down 16%, operating income down 90%
- NEX, revenue up 11%, operating income down 60%
- AXG and IFS are operating loss
- Only mobile has rev and op income up

And the CEO has clearly mentioned next quarter will be even worse and then they expect things to improve; not sure about the improve part though. CFO clearly mentions restructuring charges in Q3. Add all of this up and it tells a different story.

> But doesn't everyone respond extremely well to stimulants?

I wish lmao. I'm on meds and while I can see a difference between non-meds and now I could easily go back to bed after they kick in and sleep the entire day away. Still doing the dosage dance with the doc.

Someone who didn't need them would likely be a little hyper if not bouncing off the walls depending on the dosage.
> What is required to qualify as a political campaign?

The text of the law has a definition, but it looks like it ks basically a legal, FEC regulated candidate or state or national party campaign committee.

> I assume worst case I can always have someone run for some office on the platform of "make sure everyone can continue to access effective ED treatment on edpharmacy24.com" and campaign for them?

I suspect if you are edpharmacy24.com, doing that would be an effective way to game this bill, while likely running into enough problems with a bunch of existing campaign finance rules, without the kind of shroud of plausible deniability people even skirting those rules prefer to maintain.
Cormen et al (Introduction to Algorithms, first in OP's quick reference books) is a decent book on data structures and algorithms, although I'm always irritated that it doesn't include answers to the exercises. I read Sedgewick's "Algorithms" in college and I remember it being pretty good. Knuth (The Art of Computer Programming) is amazing, but be prepared to invest a lot of time into it (them).

I see. Yes, I agree with this. Sadly, the idiots with the capital and power who have been ignoring the research and evidence for half a decade were the ones who should have thought about this. If they had done, we might have made an easier transition.

The only way forward now is radical.
> Ask yourself why are men the ones committing mass shootings and not women?

1 reason: testosterone

it promotes aggressive and risky behavior

I agree that sexism is a problem and should be addressed properly, but the untold truth is that mass shootings are the cultural product of a violent society.

while the real issue, IMO, is that Globally, death by suicide occur about 1.8 times more often among males than among females

The bottom line is most men (especially young men, suicide is one of the primary - if not the most common - cause of death for teenagers all around the World) prefer to kill themselves than kill someone else.

Also men make up almost 80 per cent of all homicide victims recorded worldwide.

They are also globally much more involved in protecting other people from life threatening situations.

That's something we should actually focus on, IMO, instead of the derogatory "boys being boys".
it's not all doom and gloom. the world was much hotter when hominids evolved.
Not necessarily. If both updates are in a single transaction then it's valid for the query planner to batch them, although that seems unlikely in the use case this table layout is designed for.
The less literal reading of OPs statements is that Tesla is overvalued & will at some point in the future face correction down to a value more in line with their sales/profit potential.

I have no horse in the game (no Tesla nor any other automotive stocks) but we’ve definitely seen companies being massively overvalued in the past and then face fierce correction - AOL was once worth $222 billion and later (not even that much later) sold for less than 1% of that.

These requirements only apply to running rustc, or rust programs using libstd. Same as a C compiler or any C program that links to libc.

Many many people (including myself) use Rust on bare metal, no libc involved for required.
You can make your kids not picky by putting a plate in front of them and providing the choice of either eating it or going to bed hungry. Kids aren't born only wanting to eat chicken nuggets and mac n' cheese.
agreed the days where I get out for a morning bike ride are some of my best
Yes, people think Tesla is more valuable than the other car markets combined. I honestly don't see the ICE manufacturers really having an edge when it comes to the future of transportation. If anything, I see them having a huge liability - that is a large workforce to reskill, pensions to pay, antiquitated plants to upgrade/maintain, old supply chains to wind down, new supply chains to wind up - if anything, newer entrants into the electric vehicle racket have an advantage.
This seems like a predictable reaction from a party that has observed how casually tech and media companies are willing to cancel or censure their content and point of view. Once the boundaries are crossed, it’s difficult to uncross them.
I've noticed people are afraid of cooking for no reason. Everyone needs to eat, so it's an obvious skill to pick up. It doesn't take much to learn the basics and cook for yourself by trial and error. Cooking for others is on another level though.
Sometimes it's amazing to me that kids trust grownups at all. Those plastic little brains don't filter out dozens or hundreds of things that adults just stopped thinking about because they're so overloaded with other worries. Everything from the sensory, to cultural 'norms' that may not make sense, like casual racism or sexism.

This shows up time and again in media where there are magical creatures that only interact with children. Everything from adults losing the ability to see them (Totoro has two separate classes of invisible creatures), to happenstance (Arrietty is accidentally seen by the boy, because she makes a bad assumption).

Do I understand this right..:

- You have a simulator, like idk The Sims world

- You train a machine in this world, totally virtual

- You deploy the trained machine on real hardware in the physical world

- The machine works good enough that it can perform the task until it can't anymore and then someone remotes-in to fix it?

Did I get this right or can anyone ELI5 to me? I mean it sounds really cool, in theory...
I don’t think that it’s that they can’t cook at all. I do agree you should learn more about it in general for reduction of waste and food safety. A lot of the problem however is people don’t ever get over the hump where the time investment pays off and you become more proficient, faster and a better cook in general.
Do you consider this particular example a hard problem? I'm sure I agree with your statement but we probably disagree on what constitutes a problem and whether that problem is "hard" and thus needs government intervention.
Rust’s standard library uses libc on platforms where appropriate. For example, on Linux, glibc would be the default there.

If you’re not in that context, then there is no requirement.
This opens an interesting line of inquiry. Is ADHD simply the lack of adequate coping mechanisms? Is ADHD somehow the "default" state of a human mind, and the effect of maturing into a particular psychosocial niche that some level of coping mechanisms are required to "function" "correctly" per socially constructed standards?

Bad accounting - yes when the particles are moving faster in one direction they will have greater mass, but to get them to move faster in that direction you need to push them first, imparting that momentum while creating an equal and opposite reaction on the thing accelerating them, in this case the ship. Unless you can find something external to the ship to accelerate the ions (in which case this becomes nothing more than an ion sail), you're not going to get any thrust.

More generally, neither the ability to "reach 99% of the speed of light" nor even being propellant-less are that impressive, and anyone touting such properties doesn't know what they are talking about. Technically a flashlight is a propellant-less engine capable of accelerating you to 99% of the speed of light if you are willing to dump enough power into it. According to the article, even if this did work, "it would need to generate 165 megawatts of energy to produce 1 newton of thrust." Now a nuclear reactor capable of generating 186 MW would have a mass of approximately 140 tons, meaning it would take a little over 1 million years for the drive it was powering to reach 99% of the speed of light, assuming every other part of the ship had zero mass. For comparison, we've already successfully built and tested in space beamed laser propulsion systems capable of producing thrust at 143 kW/N, over 3 orders of magnitude better, which is just as propellant-less, and in fact since the power source does not need to be on board, its rate of acceleration is not constrained by power density of a reactor.
Ok, so you can add 5 mins to set the table. Are we really going to nit-pick?

If you can't find 30 mins to make a meal, lowering that to 15 mins isn't going to make a difference. Just get up 30 mins earlier if it comes to that.

If you can't do that, then yeah ... you might be part of the .005% of people who are really in a bind, and physically cannot cook for themselves. My advice does not apply to such cases, and I can only give you my sincerest best-wishes.
Good god it's Newsweek in the 70's with a frozen globe on the cover all over again.
What these clowns always fail to (conveniently?) discount from their calculations are any innovations. Yeah, if we continue down the current path unchanged some of what he his alarming about would probably come to pass - but society is hardly stagnant. Also remember in the 70's how many people were adamant the only way to solve pollution in Los Angeles was to ban all cars. Yeah, what a frigging disaster that would have been - and somehow we managed to turn that "disaster" around without destroying everyone's quality of life and the economy too.
Beware charlatans peddling crises that they magically can fix. It's the favorite schtick of politicians; create a crises than pitch yourself as the cure for the problems you created. And yet people continually fall for it :p

Before WFH I used CLion for cpp. When we were locked down I found Cider to be annoying (I think mostly because you couldn't tab switch to a a chrome window on MacOS) so I took a couple of days to really master vim and configure all the plugins (and wrote the one plugin I was missing), and it worked just fine for a while, I would just ssh to my workstation and use that. Later on they fixed the tab switching thing so I found myself drifting more towards Cider, then Cider-V came along, and I was back at the office, so I was mostly using that, though by that time I wasn't writing cpp anymore.

I am a google engineer, and a fairly successful one.

I would absolutely despise it if I had to manage my own OS, just like I despise thinking about my keyboard layout or text editor.

Hacker News overrepresents the hacker type which loves the feeling of full control but I'd estimate that at least 33% of engineers, including many very talented ones, don't want that, and only want to focus on the concrete problems they are trying to solve.
>It feels as though our society has collectively forgotten that mental illness can be socially transmissible. I remember in 00s there seemed to be mainstream acknowledgement and concern that anorexia and distorted perception of one's body can be socially transmissible

In the 90s, there was a study done on "sensitivity to environmental toxins," where people would complain about sickness and headaches and similar things from new carpet or new paint in offices.

IIRC, the study found that the reported cases were in a kind of "line of sight," i.e. one person would complain about it to another person, and before long it had passed all the way through the weird social groupings in cube farms, passed from person to person.

It's odd, but important to remember, that humans are still just smarter than average herd animals.
The reason the other automakers are valued so low is because their long-term growth prospects are negative. The market does not think Ford and GM will be dominant players in 20 years when cars are half software
I've used kerberos + some auth (actually AD in addition to LDAP) and automounted home (and data dirs) a number of times (various clusters, departmental servers, corps). I'd say it was fairly mature (the OS stack supported it, it didn't crash all the time, etc) but still had (and has) sharp edges when it comes to high throughput computing.
I bought the ear(1) because they looked cool. They sound OK.
Is there a form SaaS that allows the admin to give feedback on the form submission and then have the user resubmit their form?

I run a coaching business and I’d like my students to be able to submit their work for feedback and review. Then if they need to make changes, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to resubmit the form with tweaks to their submission.
The point is that property owners (the ones granting the allotments to keep the poor quiet) are the ones forbidding the use of the allotments for commercial gain.
I don't know who decided to use the EMdrive illustration on this, the paper uses a different concept altogether. Whereas the EMdrive bounces RF around to "achieve thrust", this uses charged particles in a helical beamline... the tricky bit is to efficiently transfer 165 Megawatts into a beam to accelerate it, then couple that power back out to recover it. Needless to say, there are some stiff engineering challenges involved. ;-)

Corporate Interests Are Inflaming US-China Tensions
locked and limited conversation
Not exactly, because you need to look at depth of market as well. If I find one idiot to buy 1 share of my stock (out of a trillion) for $1, that doesn't mean I really have a $1T market cap.
To reply to some of the comments:

* Yes, something is worth what someone is willing to pay. But we know Mr market is temperamental and irrational, so really what I'm saying is, in the long term / low pass filtered version, do we really think Tesla is worth more than the next 10.

* Re anecdotes in which market cap is correct - this doesn't prove anything. E.g. a random number would be correct some of the time also.
When you talk to yourself aloud, have you never noticed that it takes the form of dialogue rather than monologue?
This page from the BBC explains the diffrences between unprocessed and minimally processed foods, processed culinary ingredients, processed foods, and ultra-processed foods.

"Ultra-processed foods usually contain ingredients that you wouldn’t add when cooking homemade food. You may not recognise the names of these ingredients as many will be chemicals, colourings, sweeteners and preservatives."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/what_is_ultra-processed_...
You don't even need to buy instapot. Roasting/baking is just as easy (especially if you have a thermometer), and most people probably already have a oven/toaster oven at home. The high temperatures that can be achieved with an oven is a plus as well, because that means you can get browning (maillard reaction) that you can't get with a pressure cooker.
With sufficient competition cost savings on labor turn into consumer surplus. It’s incumbent on those who wish to remain in the middle class move up the value chain. This is supposed to be done by using the wealth gained by being early to the middle class to reinvest in additional productivity and specialization. Unfortunately a lot of that wealth has been squandered so those same people are now falling out of the middle class.

A case could be made for maintaining an inefficient and underproductive middle class as a more efficient tax on the productive middle class (as opposed to a less efficient direct redistribution). I am of the view that the US is a net beneficiary of globalization and Americans would have to be prepared to be a lot poorer on average in order to wind it back. I’m also of the view that subsidies for unproductively is long term counter productive.

I think management often overestimates the savings of cheap labor, but instead of legislating nationalistic hiring practices, I would prefer those companies to fail and new ones with new management who can more accurately assess costs and value to replace them.
