It will definitely depend on the scotch. I mixed an Ardbeg Uigeadail into the bottle and it changed it considerably, but not in a terribly bad way especially after it sat for a couple weeks. But I think that's part of the journey. Right now, it's pretty heavy on the Islay (peated) scotch so it is definitely a bit weird at times, but it'll change over time with my palette, and I like that.

For example, right now I'm really into blended whiskies like Wolves [0], and as such the infinity bottle is starting to change from that characteristic Islay peat/smoke flavor profile to a more American whiskey profile.

I've found that writing tasting notes help me enjoy a weird whiskey a bit more, which includes the infinity bottle.

(But I will admit -- I have wanted to dump the bottle before! In that case, I just topped with bourbon and considered it a soft restart.)

Raising property values is not universally popular. In my rural area people are afraid that rising property values will lead to rising taxes that drive them out of their homes. In poor urban areas there is a lot of fear that if a neighborhood gets better richer people will drive poor people out.

I've used this to enumerate grids with a certain number of open and closed cells (0 and 1 bits). It is simply the next permutation of a bit string. C++ offers this in its standard lib, but that version is slower by factor 1000 or so.

I found https://www.teenvogue.com/story/new-school-strike-occupy-dec describe more about what's going on. This Fox News summary seems to omit the mention of the extreme demands of the university.

> The New School is making headlines as its part-time faculty, after going on strike on November 16, now comprise what they say is the longest adjunct strike in US history ...

> On Thursday, December 8, Teen Vogue reported from 13th Street and 5th Avenue, where a group of university students aligned with striking workers announced an indefinite occupation of TNS’s University Center. ...

> The occupation comes after continuing conflict between workers and the university: On December 6, the university publicized its decision to withhold wages and insurance premiums from the striking workers, claiming it was in service to the student body and “planning for the spring,” which stoked concerns that the university did not anticipate coming to an agreement and was considering bringing in strike-breaking workers. ...

> “In light of recent attacks by the New School administration on all school employees including faculty and students, as well as the blatant refusal to meet [the union]’s demands or even negotiate in good faith, the students have decided it is the time to escalate direct action,” ...

> Part-time professors teach 87% of TNS courses while making as little as $4,300 a course, about 4 to 7% of university tuition dollars for one course, per analyses provided by the union. For comparison, the university's president, Dwight McBride, is paid about $1.2 million and housed for free in a West 11th Street townhouse not far from campus. ...

> “I came to the US specifically to study at the New School for its radical history, unique position, and revolutionary pedagogical approach,” Emanuel Auerbach-Baidani, a philosophy and fine arts major and international student, tells Teen Vogue. “The way the administration has acted throughout the strike is disgraceful. It betrays the long tradition of the school and the values it stands for.” ...

Time to share my recipe for dry roasted pressure cooked brown rice.

I make this using a stainless steel stovetop pressure cooker. I do not recommend aluminum.

The ingredients are two cups brown rice (long or short grain as you wish), two cups of water or a little less (yes, the rice:water ratio is just 1:1), and half a teaspoon of salt or less. You can scale this up or down easily.

Put the rice in the pressure cooker without the lid. Turn the heat on. You can use high heat for the first minute or two, but then turn it down so the the rice does not burn.

Every minute or so, pick up the pan and swirl the rice around so it heats and browns evenly. It will take about ten minutes to be nicely roasted.

Now here is where this relates to the article and discussion. As the rice browns, a few of the grains will pop just like popcorn. You can leave them in the pan or pick them out for a crunchy snack!

When the rice is nicely browned, add the salt and swirl it in, then slowly pour in the water and give it one more swirl.

Put on the lid and let the pressure come up to high (the second ring on my Perfect pressure cooker). Turn the heat way down at this point to maintain the pressure, and keep an eye on it.

Set a 20 minute timer and release the pressure when it is done. Use a steel spatula to gently mix the rice and scrape the crispy bits off the bottom of the pan.

Enjoy!

The details here are intriguing. It's also a kind of classic differential equation problem. I.e. take a desert lake fed by a small stream carrying dissolved minerals, which loses half its water by evaporation (removing no mineral) and half by an outflowing stream - what's the concentration of minerals in the lake relative to the feeder streams?

First, how long should you wait before adding fresh bones, vegetables, etc to the soup before serving it, if it's always simmering at 200F (94C)?

Second, what percentage of the soup is consumed per day? Taking one bowl out a 100-bowl pot of soup per day is vastly different from serving 90 bowls per day, then restarting with only 10 bowls left in the 100-bowl pot. This allows asking the question, "what percentage of the food added a week ago is still in the pot".

Also if you're adding bones I imagine the whole pot is strained from time to time to remove such solids.

This connects to another of Ada's advantages: language-integrated support for
subsetting the language. In the C world, you can define a subset of the
language, but if you want a tool to ensure compliance, you're on your own.
With Ada, you can define a 'profile' and have the compiler check compliance.

This has been done with the Ravenscar profile (for real-time work) and, most
famously, the SPARK profile (for formal verification).

(There isn't integrated support for user-defined style guide conformance
though. From the perspective I've used here, MISRA C is both a subset and a
style guide.)

I had to have my 16-year-old cat put down a couple weeks ago. He had cancer.

In fiat terms, unless you really believe there is over $60BN sitting in a bank account that they just choose not to show for "reasons", Tether is already insolvent. Since most of Binance's non-self-issued reserves are in the form of Tether they, by extension, are insolvent as well. The open question is how long can they can keep the game going, thus the current rescue fund/proof of reserves/transparency audit circuses.
If US people want these products and Binance wants to sell these products to US people, Binance should conform to the US regulatory framework. Otherwise it is on Binance to ensure they do not sell their products to US customers.

I don't think that this is how it works (paying taxes doesn't entitle to a level of service) but I admit I don't know US law.

As a side note, in this very case the issue wasn't remoteness since they could have had access to firefighters for a small annual fee. Rather it was a legal and administrative issue. But I would indeed be curious if voluntarily paying a fee rather then being taxed can have an impact on any enforceable expectation of service.
Presumably,the word 'cap' (in this context) was originally used by a single person. If young (non-black) people stole it from black people, then black people stole it from that person. But I don't think it makes sense to describe using a word as 'theft'.
I think you give latex more credit than it deserves. It gives little straightforward control over layout and the only reason documents are manageable is that pages are fixed size and layout changes are mostly local.

It’s paragraph breaking was state of the art when it was new but other systems break paragraphs now and potentially better. I also think ragged margins aren’t really a problem.

I think if layout mattered as much as you imply, scientists would have to use a tool that offers more control like indesign.

None of this is to say that getting good layout in HTML is easy, of course.

Why do you think the people who were laid off were "great" to begin with? Surprises me a lot the folks who think that a software engineer with Twitter in their CV is a "great" software engineer. The majority of good software engineers out there do not work for FAANG. This is pure statistics.

Inflammation is basically your body turning on repair mode (when all goes right, so not in chronic issues), so usually not the best idea to counteract it
I think there's a bit more to it than that.

It appears that a significant chunk of the local online news market in these regions is only financially viable based on pay-for-coverage arrangements with moneyed interests.

So, I agree, lobbyists gonna lobby. And some of the lines in the article are pearl clutching. (GASP a utility company donated to a SuperPAC that opposed a ballot initiative? Yeah, that's normal. You might not like Citizens United, but that's just something they did, not something they're "accused" of.)

But to the extent that you have a crop of local-interest news and politics websites that present as objective but, based on the quotes in the articles, wouldn't be able to exist without opaque financial arrangements that slant coverage... yeah, it's a genuine media story. Less about the power company, and more about journalism. (Which, indeed, Folkenflik is NPR's media reporter.)

Alabama has high electric rates, an unusually profitable utility company, and this arrangement has proven durable. For me, that's a good enough "so what" for a New York based media reporter to condescend to the journalistic ethics of these Southern publications. It's not just academic; it's harming people.

Here’s my takeaway: Musk overestimated both his own abilities and the influence he commands as it relates to being able to NOT run twitter into the ground.

Now he is faced with a predicament that every time he touches, tweets, or says something (which are all tinged with the same obnoxious flavor that is his brand and has worked for him until now and one he seems to be unable and unwilling to moderate when situation calls for it) - despite the ejaculatory noises his fanbase makes - “twitter as a business” nosedives further.

So now he is looking to distance himself, however much possible that might be, as to not be associated too closely with what is looking ever more like a failure, and possibly find someone who can actually run twitter in a boring and even-keeled manner, banning the same old crowd we are all used to being banned - and if that succeeds - tweet from sidelines pretending as if things are out of his hands, and then still show up when the ‘uge success awards are being handed out.

The outcome of the poll would not have influenced his departure, but now conveniently offers a “people have spoken” excuse.
On the other hand, your per-server handles can be much shorter. For example, @tim@apple.com vs @TimCook. This also comes with built-in verification; @TimCook@freerobux.com is probably fake.
> The policymakers are deeply corrupt and doing everything they can to squeeze more money out of patients.

The problem is more related to the problem of „fixed budgets“. Every health practitioner in Germany’s public health system receives a fixed quota of money per quarter. In regions with few doctors and therapists this means practitioners would operate on a loss if they accept too many patients. That’s why you wait forever for a doctor if you got bad luck.

It’s an effect similar to the case a private good is regulated to have a maximum price. This way politicians create a shortage of that good. You can have a public system where everybody is forced to have insurance (or receives welfare if one cannot afford it) but where healthcare prices are allowed to float more freely. But German policy makers rarely understand basic economics (or don’t care) — but they are acting on good intentions.

That being said: There was a time I needed to see a therapist (after getting through a divorce) and didn’t have any trouble finding a therapist around the corner within two weeks. Five hours were covered by public health care provider immediately, then the therapist had to write a proposal and another doctor had to sanction it as others described. The proposal was smoothly granted.

Bottom line: Your mileage varies in Germany.
This is kind of interesting. I might try the rice. Kind of strange that the author didn't try sorghum, which I have tried and works pretty well. It's much smaller than corn, but it has a similar texture. I call it "spoon-pop" because you kind of have to eat it with a spoon.

Another drop in this bucket.

I read it once and took some notes. Haven't looked back on either the source nor my notes (until now!), but the book came to me at a time when I was dealing with a lot of inner-organizational bureaucracy on a small-scale, but was utterly frustrating.

The book gave me new frameworks, and was reco'd to me from someone within the org who I was confiding in on the top-level. But ultimately, the frameworks weren't enough to change necessary structures – because those in power and with influence didn't want to change their attitudes, goals, and approaches.

As "negative" as that sounds, the book helped in part for me to understand the four major buckets for how decisions get made:

• command, from on high to everyone below you who must carry out the orders

• consult, to invite input but still one leadership board/ leader makes the final call

• vote, where majority decides what'll happen after being presented with options

• consensus, where a decision is made only after everyone agrees

These frameworks helped me to understand that whatever was causing obstructions/ friction, was because people in power were presenting things as if they were based on consultations leading to majority votes, but ultimately, there was a lot of game-playing from the top leaders who wanted to use those tactics as cover to ultimately have their own way.

Helped me to accept that things were the way they were, and there was no need to exert unnecessary energy. And from then on, to discern first and foremost what the decision-making dynamics are in any group endeavor, be it small-teams or entire orgs, and to go from there.

Very cool stuff, for me at least.

It's redundant.

The message (a string) will give you that information, nothing is lost by catching a base Exception and writing it to a log.

typed exceptions is about special handling. The type information allows the programming language to offer special handling when that is necessary, it is NOT meant to replace good error messages.

But it also isn't about taxonomy, which is something that a lot of people miss. It's putting the cart before the horse.

---

But you specifically talked about debugging. If you're talking about interacting with an attached debugger, the developer already has everything they need, there is no reason why specific, typed, exceptions are needed to assist that.

so you MUST be talking about general debugging by reading logs and the like, but those logs will tell you both the error message and the stack trace with the specific line that originally threw. Unless, of course, you're catching and rewrapping the exception and throwing that information away...
Let’s not hint at having people attacked by angry mobs here.
