> if you have hard water, you get some calcium buildup and things stick like crazy.

Anyone using stainless cookware should be using Bar Keepers Friend, it's like magic on stainless steel.

The oxalic acid in it removes calcium buildup and helps passivate the stainless steel, the surfactant in it somehow dissolves browned oil stains (even the nasty burned in ones on the bottom of the pot) and the feldspar dust in it provides a bit of abrasive action. Smells funny though. And wear gloves.

The only extra work is it really needs to thoroughly rinsed off or the feldspar dust leaves white residue when it dries.

But seriously it makes stainless look like new.
This isn't at all true, in my experience. If it's true for you, please consider that your issues are about autotools and not Make, and direct your complaints in that direction.
I use my main pan daily, but I've also never had an issue pulling out my other pan after it's sat for a month or two and just using it. A really good seasoning helps with long term storage too.

Yeah I can totally see what you mean, the most popular definition is the nefarious one, and news websites always try to get more clicks. Although I have given them the pass on this occasion since their use of the word is technically correct.
I think it's a mix of several things at play:

1. Fast growing organizations struggle to keep up with the communication overhead when rapidly onboarding new engineers. Most common open source frameworks lack good interfaces for developing isolated components in the same project. In the short term it's easier to spin up a new project than defining and enforcing interface and dependency boundaries.

2. Cloud providers and consultants are incentivized to propagate the myth that distributed systems is the best solution for all problems.

3. Engineers looking to grow are incentivized to add popular new tools. In particular, the less equity you have in the company, the greater financial incentive you have to become an expert of a tool in high demand and land a job elsewhere with higher pay.

4. In my experience very few engineers learn the fundamentals of computers and systems. Instead they follow "gurus" that tell them the current "best practices" are. I think it's easier to feel you're doing a good job by making all your code comply to some style guide, or building systems with an architecture discussed in some cloud provider blog.

5. A VP of engineering I worked with told me in private that one of the reasons we were adding a lot of distributed systems components was so that we could sell ourselves as a tech company to VCs in the next funding round rather than a tech enabled business. I doubt that VCs care about this, but it's telling that a VP of eng thinks it matters.

6. If you start breaking up your monolith into a distributed system you won't feel the pain until you have several systems that are struggling to coordinate and keep data consistent. For the first few months or even years you'll only see the upsides of quicker iterations. It can be enough time that all the engineers that added the distributed systems got promoted and left for another job.

For companies growing quickly or large companies I don't see how you're able to mitigate the communication overhead without adding distributed systems. It allows different teams to ignore each other for the most part and respond to the market quicker. It's often easier for teams to re-build systems than trying coordinate with a different team that has different incentives.

But for all other companies I think people are adding distributed systems prematurely. But lots of individuals in the decision making chain are incentivized to add them. Unless you have an experienced CTO that can enforce a sane policy, it's inevitable that someone will add a distributed system without understanding the nuances that come with it.

As someone who lives in Excel, has done quite a bit of BI as well, and is learning programming I love that Excel gives you the ability to build complex algorithms but also to sometimes bypass it and just hardcode some stuff that would require complex loops or recursion, and create exceptions by breaking a formula into a few pieces in different cells that would likewise require a lot of ugly code.

It empowered me to build what I needed, but may have held back my progress in building better mental models for data schemas and algos. You win some, you lose some I guess.
I don't think he intended to antagonise anybody when writing that book. The fact that he accidentally did so is because some people are very oversensitive -- and those people deserve to get offended, frankly.

I guess nobody's getting death threats for still saying "blacklist" or "quantum supremacy", but people who are oversensitive enough to care deserve to get offended.

That said, I don't think we should encourage causing people offense. It's worth being aware that a person may get offended by harmless things because of mental illnesses like psychosis, so it's worth being sensitive to that.
People just want you to tell them the answer you're looking for. They don't want to think, research, or defend a position they choose or chose to take.
Yes they do but not all titles. They use Adobe DRM. If a book says "Best for: eReader" it should be downloadable. I think that used to say compatible with which made more sense...
Sure, it depends on the sausage so. As a Bavarian with French inlaws I have obviously some complex rules around which mustard is acceptable with which kind of sausage. Dijon is great woth French fries and steaks so. Which is one reason why mustard is scrce in France, the French simply consume more of it.
> but I say you can use maths to prove whatever you like.

> AFAIK, all this discussion is in the realms of hypothesis.

it is unfortunate that you are being downvoted. I have been increasingly taking note of things that "science" says that the general public then takes for granted as fact, when they're entirely unfalsifiable, unprovable, and just conjecture. of course there is nothing wrong with conjecture, and especially nothing wrong with mathematically-backed conjecture. but there is a huge gulf between making conjectures about Earth possibly having had rings in the past and accepting as fact that Earth most certainly had rings in the past.

it seems to me that a big part of this is the (at least contemporary) human "need" to be absolutely sure about everything. most people come away from reading e.g. this comments thread either "knowing" that Earth definitely had rings in the past, or rejecting the rhetoric here and believing Earth never had rings. few people allow themselves the "mental gray area" of not really believing or disbelieving something, instead leaving that "did the Earth ever have rings or not" factoid field in their mental database with the value of "idk, maybe?"

once you start training yourself to embrace this "mental gray area" for unprovable (or merely unproven) facts, you start to notice a lot of things that many people take for granted as being absolutely True, when in fact there is ample possibility for them to be False. another example is the composition of the Earth's core—there's all sorts of ways we can inductively determine this, but ultimately we don't definitively know what the Truth of the matter is.

this "lack of 'mental gray area'" phenomenon is what leads to many people today taking not just proven scientific research as gospel, but also all sorts of theories and conjectures and unproven hypotheses. how many ardently atheist "science-believers" literally believe in the existence of dark matter, because "the science says so" (even if that's not really the case)? awhile ago I posted a comment on this website about how an atheist friend of mine believed that a government policy definitely had no downsides or issues because a social "science" Study had been done saying no such issues existed, and he took this just as equally As Gospel as he would F=ma—it's Science, Scientists say so, so therefore it must be True—as though the world were a computer simulation and Scientists are reading the assembly language and/or database entries that comprise the totality of the Universe verbatim. intuitively realizing that this explicitly is not and cannot be True has really opened my eyes to the nature of how many (most?) people take lots of scientific conjecture and theory and social "science" as Accepted Fact, and how that's Probably Not The Best Way To Go About Things.
The risk from burning a Teflon pan is enough reason to avoid it. I first heard about this from a person who kept rescued birds. Apparently birds are especially susceptible to toxic fumes. People overheat pans all the time. It seems crazy to not take that failure mode into account in evaluating Teflon's safety. I also do not FW fluorinated ski wax.
direnv + Nix is a great combo, and once you've gotten going with it there are various options you can use to speed up caching or automatically rebuild in the background on changes.

For project environments, flakes don't bring much new functionality to the table. They are a nice new convention that is probably worth learning, and they do bring faster evaluation. But don't sweat it.

Of course it’s wasteful. The entire modern lifestyle is ecologically unsustainable at our current technological level. But who is going to be the first to cut back on their own standard of living? Nobody (in meaningful numbers) is willing to do that. People give so little shit about the planet that they’re willing to use as much electricity as medium-size countries to run a magical numbers lottery. People will move to the desert and insist on green lawns and setting their ACs at 65. People will build entire ghost cities or man-made islands instead of investing in more sustainable developments. Let’s face it, our monkey brains have evolved to optimize for our own comfort in the short term and discount any long term costs. I just hope the same monkey brains will be smart enough to find a way to survive all the disasters of our own making.
> It’s entertainment.

Complete disagreement here. Informative writing may serve as entertainment, but if it's done well, that's not all it is. It helps people understand the world, which can provide all kinds of benefits beyond keeping them from being bored for a few minutes.

In fact, this type of work is precisely how people learn almost everything, right up to grad school, which means it's the way the overwhelming majority of education is conducted. Most people going through that aren't doing it for entertainment. Hell, Spivak's Calculus is more on this level—presenting findings to non-experts—than it is an academic endeavor, and no one dismisses that as just being entertainment.

It may not be valuable to people who are already experts in a field, so may not be properly "academic", but this categorization of acoup (and anything like this work) as simply entertainment is going way too far.

Differences in the video/audio decoding process. VLC optimizes for playing media over a network connection (hence its name Video LAN Client), where temporary dropouts and data loss are common and might cause other players to choke. The cost of this is sometimes less accurate playback.

mpv is optimized primarily for accurate playback of media from local storage, and so while it might not fare as well for network/streaming media it's generally measurably better for local media.

I agree - I wonder what the relative risk is between getting liver cancer from PFAS exposure in teflon vs carcinogenic risk in the seasoning layers on cast iron pans or smoking oil in stainless pans?

Any time there is incomplete combustion of carbon compounds like cooking oil, carcinogenic molecules like benzo-a-pyrene are formed, which appears to cause or contribute to skin, lung, and bladder cancer.

That's definitely not true for:

- Most C++ or Rust projects

- Medium size or larger C projects

- Anything which is built with tools written in JavaScript (due to Node startup time overhead)

Stuff where a full build is close enough to instant:

- Most Java, C#, Go projects

- Small C projects

- Tiny/trivial C++ or Rust programs, or C++ programs written for embedded systems

This is just my experience. YMMV.
Merged cells and multi row headers make data processing very difficult. These are best avoided in any sheet doing any computation. Only for reporting they are useful, especially when auto-generated as part if a pivot table. But I have never seen a legitimate use of merged cells in a computation.

Row referencing formulas work fine in tables, but there might be better ways to achieve your goals if you need that a lot.

Other benefits are input data type checking, auto "freeze panes" for header row, much easier plot and pivot tables, niver formatting, summary rows if needed. Best is of course referencing columns by name
I don't know much about this, but:

- I think they are fiberglass

- IIRC they actually need to be locked beyond some safe maximum windspeed because the forces they're under are indeed sufficient to tear them apart. I guess if local conditions can change faster than they can be locked (or if the locking systems can fail?) with any frequency, then such damage might be common.

- I do also wonder if something like a bird impact is common, and whether it's enough force to crack the fiberglass (or whether reverberations of the impact on an active turbine would cause trouble)?
That's interesting - since basically every auxiliary verb I can think of for english

(Am, is, are, was, were, will, have, has, had, may, might, can, could, shall, should, must, ought to, would)

has a contraction form with "not" (although some are fairly colloquial, or considered out of date):

(amn't, isn't, aren't, wasn't, weren't, willn't, haven't, hasn't, hadn't, mayn't, can't, couldn't, shalln't, shouldn't, mustn't, oughtn't to, wouldn't)
> I just take issue with deifying and amplifying people who like offending people.

But "like offending people" is not objective. The burden has to lie with offendee as well. Flat earthers might be offended by someone saying Earth is round, but that doesn't mean that person saying that likes offending flat earthers.

There was a comedian once that was talking about the craft of stand up comedy, and he told a story about one of the favorite jokes he ever wrote. He was impressed with how well crafted and and smart the joke was. So he tries it out and every time it bombs with the audience. A more experienced comic watches him tell it, and after his set talks to him and feels the same way about how beautiful a joke it is. “It’s amazingly set up, wonderfully designed, incredibly smart. And it’ll never work. It’s too smart. Look, these people just got off work, and they just want to have a few drinks and have a few laughs. They’re not going to be interested in a joke that clever.”

This sounds like the single-electron universe theory[0]

But in the electron case, we experience the single electron in multiple places at once.

In your case, if the photon were trying all possibilities by going forward and backward in time, wouldn't we experience the photon in all places at once?

Big game hunting probably helps conservation. The nature preserve picks the animals to be killed and hunters pay a lot of money.
The problem is that you're still marked as having entered the system, but never exited. So the turnstiles won't let you in next time you try to enter a station, as I understand it.

The proper SF solution, based on my observations, is to just jump the turnstiles every time, going in or going out. I've watched guys camped out on the floor shooting up in clear view of the attendant, I assume if that flies they probably won't chase you down for just jumping a turnstile. (Yes, I do pay every time I ride BART, and yes I have been bitten by this stupid goddamn charge, and no there wasn't any attendant at the station to fix it)

In practice, as it explains elsewhere on the site, these charges are mostly to discourage attempted fare evasion, and if you're a regular user who just does this once in a while it'll delete the journeys after it decides this isn't suspicious after all, otherwise you need to talk to a human if you really didn't travel anywhere.
