The terminology is a bit strange to me as an American. "Food stores" sounds like you're talking about grocery stores/supermarkets/butchers/bakeries/etc., not restaurants. Calling a restaurant a "store" sounds odd.

I would just go ahead and substitute the word "restaurant" in most places.
The mental gymnastics to defend Trump are astonishing. But sure, Obama had classified documents (bullshit, btw). While Trump was in the White House and republicans held both chambers of Congress. Why wasn't this investigated? Was the Trump administration an abject failure? Who's to say?

So we've been through:

- there are no documents

- there are documents, but were declassified

- there are classified documents, but they've been planted by the Feds

We are here > there are classified documents for sure, but Obama had even more classified documents
I've yet to encounter this. I do get "Is it ok if I schedule over your focus time?" on occasion.

Being honest about it and up front with people creates an understanding. Some even ask how it's setup because they also want focus time.

Correcting misunderstandings isn't a huge burden, and if someone is DEMANDING you meet: There's a good chance it's actually important. Declining because "this can wait a day" helps set expectations that "I need to focus on my assigned work first".

Even better: let your manager know you're doing this, if they have your back. They can respond to complaints/inappropriateness of people complaining about you doing the work they want you to work on.

Better reject those ISO8601 timestamps if they don't have time zone specifiers too! In one case, I wrote an API that rejected anything that wasn't in UTC time just to make everyone's life equally uncomfortable.
In my experience, it's very common for people to not have any regard for existing meetings and schedule right over them.
Ancient Greek study of the Moon predates the Surya Siddhanta by ~1000 years:

I just googled it. PFAS are simply emitted into the atmosphere and then brought back, rain precipitation being one method of "atmospheric deposition" (something to google). i.e. water doesn't need to evaporate with something in aerosol suspension for that thing to be found in precipitation.

It reminds me how Turkey banned imbd.com. A musician/movie artist submitted some links to a court that the following links were streaming his movies. In fact IMDB did not stream his movies but because it was up in the search results they have banned imbd.com. And to this day imbd.com is still banned. Back in those days imbd.com had only one page without any content. Yeah, it was typo!

Those people are free to evaluate existing GitHub solutions and pick the working one (out of the 20% ones, presumably).

My understanding of the "seed oils are bad" angle is that Olive oil is high in Monounsaturated fat which breaks down/oxidizes under heat but is low in polyunsaturated fat/linoleic acid unlike vegetable oils, which oxidizes more easily during digestion, while heated and resting. Coconut oil/ghee/lard are high in saturated fat which don't oxidize under heat as easily as their chemical bonds are stronger which was previously considered to raise cholesterol and be unhealthy. So Olive oil would be alright as long as it wasn't being exposed to high heat like frying, but would be fine on a salad.
Interesting. The link I shared now points to a Times of India article rather than the BBC. Discussion is enabled for that share.

Thanks for the response.
Finally, year of the Linux desktop!
Just seems neat, but except for the dependencies it's just a way to package multiple shell scripts into one file, no?

I've thought about trying it out a few times but can never see its value over scripts in ./bin.

I edited just before you replied, here's the relevant paragraph again:

> Possible that people would schedule meetings over "Focus" time, but since they can't see calendar details, they don't. If they did, I'd push back. (It's easy to see: "This thing is due on Monday, and that's the time I have to work on it. If you don't like that, take it up to my manager." but more diplomatically. But I don't remember it being an issue.)

However, you're saying people straight scheduling over other people's meetings generally? The only times where that happens to me are either:

1) I'm really non-essential, and more invited as a courtesy in case I want to join, or

2) this is really, really important, and we will work together to sort the scheduling out, including manager if necessary.

Otherwise, what else can they expect than me saying "sorry, have another meeting already"?
The last time I downloaded it in Windows 11, a popup suggested that I use the store instead, so I wonder if India also banned that installation path.

F-Droid also carries VLC, and I doubt they will ever take direction from the Indian government. On the rare occasion that VLC will not play some file, F-Droid also has the Nova Video Player, but the Nova listing carries a warning that it will track and report your activity.
It makes no sense to day Kim Jong Un doesn't exist without China. China has an interest in preventing a massive refugee crisis on their borders and are thus interested in the stability of North Korea.

Unless you think China should regime change North Korea and risk the death and displacement of millions of people?

If they could get Kim out without massive disaster then they would have done it yesterday. He causes them a lot of issues and they have been very reluctant to help him - they would have been well within their rights to, for example, veto all sanctions against North Korea.

I used a big cast iron pan on an electric stove for years. It takes a while to heat up but not to the point where it’s a large burden.

I just love cooking everything with it, including eggs.

How could we get this to Intel and partners? This would be amazing. Plundervolt protections make it impossible to remove the EFI variable write protection controlling undervolting. It would only require a BIOS upgrade to unlock it and then we could undervolt our rather power hungry Tiger and Alder Lake CPUs.
You’re confusing marketing hyperbole for vaporware.
Editors of arxiv: "We aren't the place to publish insubstantial discussions. There are other places for that."

Guys who wrote the paper: "But it's substantial!"

Like... obviously the guys who wrote the paper think it's substantial, or they wouldn't have submitted it. The very idea of "we think it's good, so we want to publish this without anyone telling us it's not" is... silly. As a developer, this is like someone opening a PR, then getting mad if the PR is rejected upon a quick code review because "Well, I think it's good code!" Of course you do, that's why you opened the PR, but the whole point of review is to get others' opinions in case you're wrong.

Get a disinterested expert third party to review the work and say it's worth publishing, then you can complain to arxiv.

We've got a glass top electric stove and regularly use cast iron pans with no real noticeable damage - I'm not certain where you got that impression.

Mid-summer, 2020, we hopped in the car and drove to Nice, France. It was in a lull of COVID so we were able to walk around without masks for the most part. It was amazing to go to the "hip" tourist spots and be one of the only ones there, just enjoying the view. <sigh> now the tourists are all over the place in my own city and it is annoying af.

That's why you use the homework as a final step, after screening CVs, technical interview etc. Taking a burn from time to time from a candidate not really looking for a job yet willing to go through hoops is surely more reasonable for a company than burning all your candidates by the equivalent amount, no?
That sounds pretty great. I'd love to have a multi-million dollar program.

By mess do you mean scratching the glass surface? My ~$15 lodge cast iron has been fine on the electric stovetops in my last 3 apartments. They weren't super high quality cooktops either: the last nonstick pan I owned scratched the crap out of one of them in a matter of days.

I don't move the cast iron pan around a lot when I cook, but they're too heavy to do that anyway really, and unlike some thin stainless pans they don't warp so won't "walk" around the surface.

There is no absurdity, as "recall bias" is a recorded effect where people inaccurately remember past experiences to fit their current worldview (source: https://catalogofbias.org/biases/recall-bias/). You also ignored the points on social-desirability bias and crime reports and just asserted there is no increase in racism, and racism is a result of "imagined grievances" and victim culture.

You're asserting that the crime reports are wrong, and we can conclude that racial incidents did not increase because people in a survey said they weren't racist.

Many Asian Americans aren't asking for your "attention" or "pity." If there is more awareness among the Asian American community of racist incidents (e.g. many Asians getting randomly punched or pushed onto the subway tracks), one can have more aware of their surroundings when going outside to avoid random violence.
As a hobbyist photographer (well, I do it less, now that everyone is taking pictures all the time), I do not at all like interrupting real life to pose a picture. I don't want that picture. I want a picture of actual real life. If the person I am taking a picture of changes what they're doing because I took a picture, then I have messed up.

Putting a bit of water (or other liquid) in hot pans is a generally good idea to turn your fond into a sauce anyways - it's a technique called de-glazing[1].

You should avoid putting some cookwear directly into cool water though - the temperature shock can cause cracking and other damage if it's coated. I don't have a great rule of thumb for this, you should just double check any advice you can find specific to your cookwear.

Reading these threads, I'm either blessed working at a non-dysfunctional place, or people are exaggerating, or people are reading things into meeting invitations that aren't there? (For example, being invited to a meeting that you don't have to be there, but as a courtesy if you want to be there, so it did not take your scheduling into account.)

All of this requires the coasting person to be identified correctly every single time.

Some of the team leaders will fire a non-coasting person because that person looked like coasting, while the real coaster looked busy.

And then morale crashes even more, and you start looking over your shoulder, especially if you have a boss that does not understand who really carries the load.

So much management theory supposes all managers are super competent. In reality they are the people version of bad php developers.
The Indian government (and Indian courts) is infamous for these random harebrained stunts. In the past, it has banned archive.org [1], continues to block the French ISP free.fr, etc. VLC was likely banned because people use it to watch pirated films (the same reason free.fr continues to be banned [2]). And it's plain f*cking stupid to just ban videolan.org, because it can be downloaded from numerous other websites [3], not to mention the repositories of every major Linux distribution.

To me it is amazing at exploring data. I wish we had that same interface on every place I'm looking at a table of data.

I can't see it replacing Excel or other spreadsheets for people who make heavy use of spreadsheets in their jobs. For a terminal junkie like me, who wants/needs to make sense of data that is much bigger than my screen, Visidata is much better than a spreadsheet. I can filter and partition data easily.

I used to have to use perl/awk/sed/sort/comm/grep to help me put that data in some format that was useful. Visidata is much easier and faster to use.

Off season travel is great for exactly this reason. Well, being bound to school holidays limits your options. One thing worth to remind ourselves of when travelling or seeing tourists were we live: We are either locals, but at much more places we clearly are the visitors. The trick is to behave like a visitor and not like tourists being only that many letters removed from a terrorist.
I tape (audio) fairly openly at a lot of shows, most venues (or at least those who work for the venues) don't appear to care these days as long as it's not taking up space/getting in the way.

And a lot of artists are also pretty tolerant at this point of it. For example, The guy who runs the excellent (unofficial) live archive for NIN, got an invite to meet the band rather than a cease & desist.

(Edited for wording).
Yeah, if I want to join it's easy to say "sorry can't make it there, but I'd like to join, can we reschedule?"

Sure that's annoying to the organizer, but everyone understands that finding a time where everyone is available is annoying and hard. If it's really hard to reschedule, you'll find some solution. "Sorry I can't, how about xyz attends and you get together after?"

It's really not that hard.
For folks having issues with food sticking to cast iron or carbon steel, try learning to cook on stainless. It's much more prone to sticking, but if you can get the technique down well enough to not have eggs stick on stainless then switch to cast it's a walk in the park.
Yes, it's a hiccup. But not fundamental because it is actually possible to do it.

A company can have a flag day, and keep a mapping of old hash to new hash for audit purposes.

I'm not saying do it willy nilly, but repos are fundamentally below the humans and any needs they have. Blockchains say code is law, and a fork (see eth DAO) is a complete clusterfuck.

Scrubbing some PII you legally need to remove from the corp codebase? Some poking, yes, but not a disaster.

I'd encourage anyone thinking of using make to look at alternatives. Make is great, but is quickly becomes a ball of duct-tape. Make works very well when you spend the time to express your dependency tree, but realistically that never happens and people tend to add hacks upon hacks for Makefiles. Not only that, but they don't scale well as your project adds more components, such as integration testing, documentation, etc.

I found Earthly[0] to be a great replacement. Everything runs in Docker. Your builds are reproducible, cache-able, and parallelizable by default. I've heard Dagger[1] is another good tool in the space.

I was briefly confused by "tomatoes" making the list then was like "oh, of course".
Sad, but I would occasionally use my "unlimited" PTO to take a week off and just get work done. Most of the pain started when we transitioned to a sprints from a lack of process. In theory, this was to make things faster (which actually most of the reasons we were so slow was unrelated to process). My week suddenly went from getting things done to:

- 60 minute meetings fighting over whether tickets were 3 or 5 story points

- turning our entire process into some kind of perverse waterfall method where stories involved days of prep work defining every step so that we could accurately estimate story points (I thought this was the opposite of agile?)

- offers to "help" from project managers and managers when things took longer than expected - this help took the form of additional meetings.

- absolute inflexibility over my noon standup. I could be in the deepest of zones and people would literally slack repeatedly until you showed up for that thing

Cue the "oh you were doing <X> wrong!!" people. Modern software practice sucks. Its fine for small bugs and very well defined tasks. Outside of that it is just interruptions, interruptions, interruptions.

I also ended up just quitting. New place is better, but still in many ways the same. At least here I don't have comparisons made to my old days of the pre-software-process productivity.
if os.stat(object).st_mtime < os.stat(dependency).st_mtime:
...

Use a dict to contain each rule:

rules["a.c"] = (["b.c", "c.c", "b.h", "c.h"], action)
...

That can be simplified as well and then run a simple parser over it that takes a simpler representation and turns it into that dict. Then:

def make(rules, rule):
(deps, action) = rules[rule]
run_rule = len(deps) == 0 # if there are no dependencies, the rule always runs
for dep in deps:
make(rules, dep)
if os.stat(rule).st_mtime < os.stat(dep).st_mtime: run_rule = True
if run_rule: action()

Of course, this doesn't actually validate the DAG itself.

----------

An amendment: You'll probably want to pass both the rule name and the dependencies into the action function/lambda/object so that you can parameterize it and maybe reuse the action (like a common compiler command):

if run_rule: action(rule, deps)
How water turns into ice – with quantum accuracy
Or possibly deeper cultural issues within the company and the lack of faith that consumers have that their products will be supported without sunsetting or major API changes. Seriously, Google engineering is excellent for the most part, but the company does not have a support culture.

Whenever I have to choose a technology for a new product and the leading candidate is Google stuff, I think very long and hard about how likely they are to continue to support it - open source tools like Angular are one thing, but with GCP you are really tightly integrated with the vendor and if they decide to do something wild, you could be absolutely hooped.
The fact that Google's execs only care about this now that the economy is turning indicates that the execs have been coasting too. This isn't a problem you want to solve once it hits the breaking point due to external factors. You want to constantly solving it at a cultural level.
