Re. your analogy, aren't they more like the C of cooking pans? Hard to use right, easy to make mistakes, etc. The initial even matches :)
In my usage, Collins dictionary is the best for explaining and giving background to English words. Wiktionary can't compete with that. I use it with an ad blocker and read all their articles for a given word.

IME their articles are written with learners in mind, too. I would probably count as a proficient English user that is still learning new words (well, who does not).

Arbitrary word for example: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/gremlin
I never heard that term before, but I'll stand corrected
A downside of non-stick pans are the unknown side effects of the non-stick substance used, though.
PIDs according to J1979? The vehicle itself discloses them in the PIDs dividable by 0x20, where each bit indicates the availability of one of the next 32 PIDs. Each PID is described in great detail by SAE, too, no manufacturer specific information needed for interpretation.

Anything that is not J1979 but purely manufacturer defined though, is a different story, and making that available is the main reason for the existance of the regulation.

I've used IDEs, but just keep ending up using vim. With fzf, ctags, clangd and YouCompleteMe, it's a very productive tool for C++. The two things I really miss from Visual Studio are the easy project setup - writing cmake by hand isn't very fun and debugging why it isn't generating what you want is a pain ; and the great visual debugger - nothing I have tried on Linux is as comfortable as GDB's TUI, which isn't very comfortable to begin with, though the capabilities unlocked by the python bindings are unmatched. I've used GDB's python features to great effect to continually monitor the program and stop when it reaches the invalid state I'm interested in, while logging back traces of interesting points.

Yes. But I think that it’s just part of a larger unethical system: the financial system(and it’s incestuous relationship with government). I am pro capitalism, but this is not capitalism. This is corporatism. The whole system is based on growth at any expense to maximize shareholder wealth. Perverse incentives lead to perverse outcomes such as lobbying/bribing the government, destroying nature, poisoning people, war mongering etc. On a smaller scale, this is the real estate market. Endless growth for assets can only come by debasing the currency to cause persistent inflation or by causing artificial scarcity. Both have been happening for many decades. You can see it in those birthday cards for older people where it shows the prices from like the 50’s compared to now. Housing prices are like 10-15x what they were 80 years ago. That is caused by purposeful “target” inflation which experts say is “healthy”. But healthy for whom? Antibiotics are healthy for the ill person but toxic to the bacteria. I feel like the populace has become the bacteria.

Python is a top choice for a number of applications..?
I think MoFi deserves to be held to task for this, and I don't envy anyone who got misled about the product they paid their hard-earned money for.

Like the author, though, I'm still going to use this opportunity to try to confirm some information for anyone who still doubts it.

For listening purposes there is no discernable difference in accurate reproduction between 44100hz/24-bit PCM audio and any analog format. Indeed, there isn't an analog format that exists that doesn't add 1) Distortion imparted by the storage format and mechanical components, 2) a noise floor, from the same. So, one might even argue that analog is objectively worse if we are only talking about accurate reproduction. But let us say that we ignore those aspects and just consider the original frequencies in the master recording.

A standard CD can reproduce frequencies up to 22050hz, ample headroom for even a young child to hear everything. When played back, these get reconstructed to pure sine waves by the AD/DA converter and speakers, they are not "jagged" but pure tones all up and down. And 24 bits of depth is enough for 144dB of dynamic range - again, this is more than enough headroom to crank a track as loud as you could possibly bear without noticeably impacting the noise floor of your playback system.

Of course it's possible to go beyond these levels, but this is already more than enough to account for placebo.

Also worth noting that these days a vast majority of music producers and mixing engineers use digital recording. In fact, many of them now work almost purely in the box (that is, inside of software for arrangement, processing and mixing). This is because of convenience, flexibility, and power, but it's also because they recognize that digital audio has many concrete advantages in terms of accurate reproduction and archiving.

Very true, but instead of trying to sell your idea to a dozen team mates who understand the technical side, try and sell it to a 10,000 person company of sales, finance, marketing, plus board of directors and shareholders.

And many of these aren’t people who will shy away from telling you “no, if you do that I’ll just undermine your idea so my idea prevails”.
There is no point in trying to control the spread of it any more. At this point the majority of people have already been exposed. Control was never a feasible goal in open societies.
Cast iron is easier to deal with if you have an outdoor or really-well-ventilated oven for re-seasoning, which you'll have to do from time to time, in my experience. It's actually far, far easier to just get a new pre-seasoned cast iron pan (I also bought Lodge, as the fine article's author did), but if you're going to buy a new pan every year anyway, suddenly nonstick doesn't seem like a bad deal.
> Even though renewable energy capacity is 60% renewables, energy consumption is only 10% renewables.

You make a lot of unsubstantiated, untrue and misleading claims, but just to drill into this one for people who haven't seen this classic dodge before:

"Primary Energy Consumption" measures all the energy in fossil fuels. About 2/3 of that energy is lost as waste heat when generating electricity which isn't actually useful for "quality of life" but people love quoting it to make renewables seem ridiculous.

When in fact, it's one of the main reasons they're a good idea and we should Electrify Everything:

Absolutely yes. House buying should be restricted to self occupants or professional (ideally state owned) letting agencies IMO.

Here in Barcelona the market is screwed by shitty foreign investors with seedy letting agencies that totally ignore the tenant's rights. It's all about the money
His expertise over a very wide array of objects is also extremely impressive.

I know spectroscopy very well, and yet hearing him talk about light-matter interaction was still very educative for me at the time and I was impressed by the depth and sheer knowledge he had on the matter, learned many things I didn't even know existed from him.

Same applies to many other topics related to physics, engineering and mechanics, not just computer science and programming.

Whoever says that you need a degree to get depth in several topics has never knew people like Carmack who simply study and try to understand.

I live somewhere where bilingualism is really strong and we need to offer simultaneous/live audio interpretation in both languages for some important meetings, and for now Zoom is mostly the best option on the market for that, nothing comes really close.

We use Google Meet for everything but those meetings, because Google is still lacking on that aspect. At least they added breakout rooms and polls, but there's still work to do, like preconfiguring polls before the actual meeting takes place, etc.

Even if in theory local storage us cheaper, most people won't want to invest in replacing their system every 10 years when it wears out.

I think we will see mostly utility scale storage. Most people will have an electric car that they can plug into, but that will only be done to keep the fridge cold when the utility goes out.
So if I understand you correctly, you just throw out all the science that says it’s safe (and had a long track record of being right) and instead go with “plastics are dangerous” despite having little evidence to back the claim up?

I mean, if science is corrupt it’s corrupt, if you just pick and choose what you believe all the while ignoring how rigorous the analysis was, you’re not following science at all. You're just expressing an opinion without anything to back it up.
I think if that happened you'd see people actually taking it seriously.
What does this law actually look like? What's the legislation? "You're not allowed to link to a native app from a website"? Are you saying iOS universal links - twitter.com links opening in the twitter app - should be illegal?

IMHO the land belongs to all of us, like the air, and the water. ie '(wo)man is born free' rather than 'born to pay rent to a private owner until such time as they can buy a freehold and pass on the condition'.

That doesn't mean you can't have exclusive use of some part of it, how else would we encourage people to take care of the land and develop it. But you should continuously pay everyone else for it's exclusive use. Inherited, and corporate (basically immortal) land outright ownership is immoral IMHO.

Wow - What an amazing message. This makes me want to do this with my Mom, who is turning 70 in a few months. I guess I'm a bit nervous to "ask" if she'd be willing to do this kind of thing with me.

> I can really scrape food off the pan without worrying about chipping the paint.

But if you had non-stick pans you wouldn't need to scrape food off them.

I’ve been using a lodge for eight years, the same one, and I’ve never once put it in the oven. Still works beautifully, occasionally a full scrub clean and just do a bit of oil coat on the stove.
I find the Zoom interface UX to be terrible, but keep coming back because it’s way better in ways that matter once you’re used to that.

I’ve found that the screenshare quality in Zoom is rather strikingly better than in Meet, to the point that sharing a large screen with an editor full of text is frequently unreadable on Meet but perfectly crisp in Zoom.

Also, Zoom does some sort of background noise cancellation that is really impressive. I don’t know if other apps don’t do it, or do it worse, but it’s noticeable on calls (I use both Zoom and Meet daily). I was curious so I tested it from a coworking space recently: recording my headset mic in the open room I could hear voices, an espresso machine and some distant music pretty clearly. Joining a Zoom and doing the same and my background audio was genuinely silent.

That does sound shady, but just to play DA here, there is a strong push in some areas for women to be “included” in leadership. It could be for that reason.
Well when you say "human right" and a government insists that home ownership is something they will focus on as a human right in their program, to a finance person what you are really saying is "this asset has a free put option attached to it". And having a backstop like that is a very sought after feature for speculators. It isn't the only area where speculators take advantage of it( for example energy generation is another area with a built in backstop), but it is the biggest one.

This doesn't really pass a cost/benefit analysis, compared to cooking tools like microwaves.

With modern microwave-fridges, I can place my food in and leave it chilled out until it's ready to cook. A simple tap of the app starts it cooking for me and it's ready as soon as I open my apartment door.

This plus my regular, drone-delivered meal replacement shakes mean I never have to waste time worrying about skillets or whatever ancient tech this guy is rambling about.
Yeah, I ran into the class hierarchy problem in my early gamedev attempts. When I encountered this article some years ago I thought "cool, real actual professional game developers ran into the same problems I did!"

My first solution involved something I called "agents" which are really just delegates. Agents could be chained, allowing a given behavior to be written just once and combined with other behaviors. These days I am fully on board the ECS train in my game work. Though it presents complexities of its own, ECS really helps manage the combinatorial explosion of state and behavior a game object may have.
I believe it means Technical Assistant.
> this doesn't mean you need to do some day-long "reseasoning" process that involves stripping the whole thing and baking it in the oven.

Unless you want everything you cook in the cast iron pan to smell like what was burned in it for weeks, you really do. Or, hear me out: buy a new cast iron. The seasoning process is really onerous, but the manufacturer does it in bulk, and a new cast iron is typically cheaper than a quality nonstick pan. The incredible inconvenience of re-seasoning has made me want to never do it again after a few attempts over the last dozen years in various apartments. Nope.
I tried out VS 2019 last year on a whim. The last time I used VS before that was in the early 2000s (probably 6.0).

It was a surprisingly bad experience - weirdly slow even on a high performance PC and so much clutter by default.

Tried out VS 2022 just now. First impressions are better.
Fine to buy on Amazon but you can also find them at your local hardware store hanging off a rack very cheap.
>I think the men/women disparity is not really due to homosexuality but because due to societal views.

Those same societal views make it so women are more likely to underreport their number of sex partners, whereas men are more likely to overreport. Even without taking that into account, the numbers are not that different, with men having more extremely outliers (more zeroes, more super high counts).

The social stigma hasn't been relevant for decades beyond muddying self-reports.

There is nothing inherently wrong with landlords and rent. Anyone that says otherwise is a tankie. Landlords provide a valuable service. But there cannot be perpetual growth in rents like there is in say the growth of a startup. It’s the corporatization of landlords that is wreaking havoc by forcing them to maximize shareholder wealth. A simple solution is to bar corporations from charging rent for residential property. Limit landlords to only LLC’s. No incorporation and under no circumstances should they be publicly traded.
Some time ago I talked about my experience with mob programming here and it got quite a good discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30383382
I agree with you.

My vision for the operating system of the future is to build a microkernel that exclusively uses a modified ZFS that has a transactional API, that can run Linux drivers in userspace with zero or few changes, and that uses a uniform event API like Windows' handles or Plan 9's file descriptors.

But that modified ZFS is perhaps the most important part, and I would want to make it so `fsync()` on that platform behaves as people would want it to: transactional such that if it succeeds, the data was written, and if it doesn't, that data was not written.

The ability to run Linux drivers is so there isn't a chicken-and-egg problem with drivers. (It would also be nice to implement the POSIX API to solve that part of the chicken-and-egg problem.) The uniform event API is because the current OS API's are difficult to work with. OS's are based around resources and events. The resource API's are pretty good, but the event API's (select(), poll(), epoll(), io_uring, kqueue, WaitForMultipleObjects(), etc.) are still artificially constrained.
Why doesn't the author tell people to just got to https://dict.org in a browser, which is the default backend for the apps? SSL, POST queries, minimal and fast web output. Only javascript on the site is an old useless widget from a decade ago that bounced you to the internet strike of 2012. Works well even in elinks / links in a terminal if that's your thing, could probably whip up a cURL alias in minutes.
Part of the "will outlive us" is not buying a new one every year. I know I've been trying to reduce the waste I produce lately and going with cast iron pans has been a part of that plan. Buying one every year instead of taking the 1 minute to wipe it with oil and then throwing it in your oven for an hour is laziness. If you don't like the smell and you have an outdoor grill (preferably one where you can set a temperature) it's pretty easy to season your skillets in one of those and let the wind deal with the smell of polymerizing oil.

There's been a lot of discussion in the cast iron fanatic circles about how terrible Lodge's pre-seasoning is and how it's better to build up your own. I own one Lodge and two other brands and I've noticed the other two I seasoned myself are basically as good as Teflon and the Lodge (which admittedly hasn't seen as much cooking) sticks like it doesn't have any seasoning at all. YMMV I guess but I feel like it's worth putting in the effort to season yourself and keep up the seasoning.
I think there is a big problem with housing affordability in many countries. It’s also a promising investment because, as Mark Twain says, “Buy land, they’re not making it any more.” This makes land unlike other commodities (you can just make more iPhones or whatever.) The situation leads to some movements which see land as inherently a public good, such as Georgism, on which there is a good Wikipedia article.

I think it would also be nice if there were some kind of scheme whereby property tax is low for a first home, but increases when you own more than one.
There will be ups and downs, but the trend is clear. Already 80% of my electric comes from wind power, and if you don't watch the local news or work for the utility you wouldn't know. It was nice to look at the wind on some very hot days and think at least my AC is all renewable powered.
