Many years ago I drove truck on the weekends. I delivered cannery waste (pea pods, cauliflower leaves and ends, corn husks and cobs, etc...) to sheep ranches, dairies and feed lots.

I would arrive at the field and open the gate to drive into the field. If the sheep were close they would all run out the gate at the truck. I would put the truck in granny low and slowly inch along and the sheep would follow me back into the field. One sheep (the leader?) begin to run as fast as they could circling the truck with all of the other sheep following in a large circle as I drove across the field. In a vain attempt to gain access to the contents of the truck aka lunch. When I got the area of the field we were dropping the feed, I would stop the truck and get out. The sheep were still running around the truck but giving me a wide berth. I would open the back of the truck, turn on the wet kit and activate the hydraulic walking floor. Then I would walk back to the front of the truck, all the while the sheep were running around the truck, except for the 10 or 15 that could get to the feed that fell out the open door. I put it back into granny low and inched forward. The sheep continued to run around the truck but as I spread the feed gradually less sheep were making the full circuit as the smarter (relatively speaking of course) or quicker ones saw food and were able to begin eating.

Sheep are not intelligent.

> the ability to take someone's description of what they like and match it to what's on their wine list

Absolutely, I worked in a wine store for years and it was always awesome having a customer come back and buy more bottles of something I recommended.

> What there is not, however, is any kind of absolute standard for what constitutes a "good" wine. Different people like different things.

This is me with Eastern U.S. wines. I understand that conventional wisdom poo-poos Vitis labrusca (even though it saved European wine!) but I do love foxy wines from that region.
The title of this article is as misleading as it could possibly get.

The author's recommendation is to make UUID's longer and encode them with base 64 instead of hexadecimal. That's it. Somehow that means "moving away from UUID's."

> Managed to fix the problem and restore performance by suggesting we disable the MySQL query cache which was slowing down the system with more cores.

This approach for a fix sounds very unintuitive.

Did you manage to understand why this was like that? The explanation is likely interesting!

What I could think of: Context switches across cores constantly invalidated data in the CPU caches. In such a case CPU pinning would help maybe. (Just speculating! I'm not an expert on such things. But I know that the CPU cache, and memory I/O in general, is the single most important topic when dealing with usual performance issues on modern CPUs. Today's CPUs are only fast when they have their data available in their local cache(s). Fetching form RAM is by now like fetching from spinning rust a decade ago; it will kill your performance no mater how fast your CPU is).

Einstein played with the white pieces and won according to the notation (no clue whether it’s true).
Games are listed as white's name vs black's name. So in this case Einstein is white. The score at the end is in the same order, so Einstein won.
The key problem with UML was that it was trying to work on a too low a level, essentially replacing code with diagrams, which didn't really work. The only UML diagram that is still relevant today is the sequence diagram, because it has just the right balance between being too abstract and being too specific.

In my experience, the best approach in documenting software systems is the C4 model: https://c4model.com/
> As a last note, ram riding is not as easy as it seems.

This guy knows his Ovis aries (Sheep). I too tried the wild white ride when I was a boy, and never graduated to bulls. As a teenager I spent a full afternoon trying to save 100 head unsheared sheep who walked off a short cliff into a crocodial infested river (Wet sheep are heavy af!). I have developed a deep loathing for animals that are not smart enough to prevent their own death.
I don't think being that cynical is warranted here.

1) The requirements aren't levied by congress. They are created by NASA civil servants who are usually the technical experts in a particular field. These aren't people who have much of any interface with lobbyists.

2) A lot of the instances where it's not worth it to suppliers isn't because they are being boxed out by some industry giant clamoring for some giant contract. It's usually closer to "it's not worth our effort to overhaul our manufacturing process to meet requirements so we can sell NASA a $70 teflon seal." The giant corps have little desire here either. But being a big manufacturer is sometimes correlated with having a more mature manufacturing process that meets specific standards.

>but I would love to have the possibility of not having to have a car while still giving my (medium-sized) dog a decent outdoor life.

You can have one or the other. Owning a dog is a ridiculous luxury for ultra-wealthy people; go back 150 years and this was exactly the case, but now somehow people have come to expect it.

>Having a dog (or a pet, more generally) shouldn't be a luxury, because it gives one a better life (having kids even more so, but as I don't have any I can't comment on that).

No, it really doesn't. It's horrible for the environment, and it's bad for society and is a disruption and inconvenience to people around you. The idea that dogs should be commonplace is utterly ridiculous and downright offensive, and similar to the idea that carrying guns should be commonplace and normal. And then you compare it to having kids. Do you realize how many children are maimed, disfigured, and killed every year by pet dogs?

> The game was first published in Freude am Schach (The Pleasure of Chess) by Gerhard Henschel in 1959.

> Some (Dennis Holding and Andy Soltis) have attributed the above game to Albert Einstein's son, Hans Albert (1904-1969), and played at Berkeley in 1945 where Hans taught. But Hans Albert did not play chess. There is no indication that J. Robert Oppenheimer was in Berkeley in 1945. He was either at Los Alamos, New Mexico or Princeton, New Jersey in 1945. He was at Berkeley from 1929 to 1933.

> Andy Soltis, writing in the July, 1979 issue of Chess Life on page 372 in an article called "Science at Play" says this game was apparently played in the late 1940s when Hans Albert Einstein, son of Albert Einstein, and Robert Oppenheimer were both on the faculty at the University of California at Berkeley.

> Another source says that Black was not Robert Oppenheimer the physicist, but Max Oppenheimer (1885-1954), the European artist.

It depends on what "true" means. That there are diminishing returns to investments over a threshold? That's probably true of all these luxury goods. Past a certain point in whiskey, you're not necessarily paying for "better" so much as chasing some interesting distinction (a particular sherry note, an especially punchy cereal flavor in a high-proof bottling, &c). In each category of whiskey, there is a satisficing price point, and serious whiskey drinkers would (perhaps unlike wine drinkers) pretty uniformly tell you not to depart that price point without a good reason to.
When the "hard reset" causes revenue to evaporate as advertisers leave, the balance sheet is not "much better".

You could get some really nice local red table wines in Baden-Württemberg for 3-4 Euro for a 750 ml bottle last time I was there.

Saw that when it came out, yikes, but here it makes my point for me.

The zerotier software failed - as such you could (in the simplest terms) bypass the transport “firewall”. At no point could you execute code on my machines. At no point could you spoof any authorization layers outside of what’s required to reach my ports. So when the model catastrophically failed here, attackers still cannot login to my machine. Other attacks might make this possible (e.g. code exec in the agent), but were not found - I suspect due to the lack of attack surface.

Zoonotic Origin Evidence We Don't Have
You're describing Bait and switch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bait-and-switch
White Castle essentially formalized a prior trend of burger vendors at sporting events, state fairs, etc. These were really simple cheap meaty snacks with little more than the patty and maybe some onions cooked on a griddle and slapped on whatever roll they could get from a local baker. In that sense the WC slider is still fairly true to the original thing.

But, I think it's a bit rich to call it the origin of fast food. Modern fast food in terms of what we think of as technology and business model is a bit broader than that. And just "food you get fast" is obviously far older. The original "fast food" in that sense was getting bread from a baker.
Per Wikipedia, the "United" came with Ireland, not Scotland.

> The United Kingdom has evolved from a series of annexations, unions and separations of constituent countries over several hundred years. The Treaty of Union between the Kingdom of England (which included Wales, annexed in 1542) and the Kingdom of Scotland in 1707 formed the Kingdom of Great Britain. Its union in 1801 with the Kingdom of Ireland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland seceded from the UK in 1922, leaving the present United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which formally adopted that name in 1927.

The dial is my favorite thing about the watch.

I am a US citizen and I don't want to live in a country that has a "guest worker force" with reduced rights and no path towards citizenship. I don't want this because I think it's ugly (and societies that engage in too much of this are always ugly), but I also think that it's bad for citizens as well as the people treated this way. A healthy society should not have its employers maintaining a labor force full of employees who can be shipped back overseas whenever the company feels like it: this is a recipe for labor abuse, and such abuse can harm citizens as well as non-citizens. So TL;DR if you're over here working, I want you to have some rights and a path towards citizenship. I don't want a bunch of people slaving away at 2am and being told this is a privilege.

I like the Finger Lakes area a lot. Shame there's a border in the way. If it was in my own country I'd rather live in Ithaca than here.

The Niagara area in Ontario is a few growing degrees warmer than the Finger Lakes (despite being further north) and Lake Ontario provides more of a protective lake effect on temperatures than the Finger Lakes themselves.

On the other hand, you get better snow cover for insulation in the winters.

In other respects, similar areas.

The battle about vinifera and its place here in Ontario is really kind of the story of Konstantin Frank vs Phillip Wagner in the Finger Lakes. Except here in Ontario, Frank "won" while in the Finger Lakes there was a compromise drawn. Bruce Reisch gets to make excellent new grapes and the local wineries grow them.

Up here, the products of Helen Fischer's grape breeding program doesn't get to contribute to the local winery industry. It's strictly all about -- what vinifera varieties sell well? Grow that and market the crap out of it.
If it's french wine, then import costs is the biggest...taxes and tariffs, but also transport costs and distribution in the US all taking a cut.

A Brief Note on Bad Faith
One of the points he made was that there are absolutely wines which are objectively better and worse and that experts can reliably tell them apart.

This is certainly true for whiskeys. One of the ways to objectively tell better whiskeys from worse ones, is to learn how to detect acetone! The less that's in there, the better!
Universal is a bit hyperbolic here. Maybe we can say maximizing utility is universal, but utility comes in a lot of forms with profit being only one of them.

For example, someone doing volunteer work usually isn't trying to maximize their profit. They may be trying to maximize something else, but that fact means the profit motive isn't a universal first principle.

Of course, the mentioned Senator from Alabama wasn’t elected because he was competent. Alabama appears to have different priorities.
Ten years ago I spoke to a winemaker whose goal was to match the test of a certain top level price winning wine. She said that they did chemical analysis and never ending taste tests. She said that she was not the only one. They thought that low price wines should eventually taste just as good as any of the super expensive ones. Even then it was hard to tell the difference. She pointed out that the different types of wines would eventually taste very similar to the point that most people would not be able to tell the difference. The price she was aiming for was less than $20 per bottle.

I suspect that very bad wine is very evident but good wines are very hard to identify by taste since they are very similar in taste. The only difference is the bottle and the price.

Wine is like any other consumer product. People pay for the brand and the utility. But brand is the big price differentiator.
It's a falacy. Most of the time, what defines the "right time" is our post event bias. Apple launched the iPhone in 2007(?), so from our 2022 perspective, "they were just the first to do it but in 2007 everything that was needed to build an iPhone was already there". The fact that Apple succeded in creating an easy to use, touch screen based, infinitely expandable via software general purpose computing device is 100% their merit. Many companies had tried before, but noone were able to get it right. After you see it done, this concepr of " right time" arises, not before it. It's the same with the age of discoveries. Boats capable of crossing thr ocean had existed for centuries, but only around 1500 it became "the right time".
Thanks, from looking at it it doesn't look like Einstein got checkmate (did he?), did oppenheimer surrender?
It's common wisdom in France. If you're paying more than 20 euros for a bottle, it's probably already too much.

Works out to about $20 a bottle in California.
I know lots of US states have egregious liquor taxes. Alabama is particularly bad: 58% shelf price + $.45/L

> when the Apollo missions were going on, all they had were grainy TV broadcasts

This reminds me of a not-so-fun fact where the original Apollo 11 data tapes were presumed saved elsewhere and were likely erased and recorded over. [0] The video that still remains from "one small step" is essentially a recording of a recording. Since the 10 FPS raw feed wasn't compatible with the TV broadcast standards at the time, they essentially pointed a normal TV camera at a TV displaying the source feed.

However, some better quality broadcast recorded tapes were found, restored, and released in 2009. [1]
