I'm guessing it should read 99ft 7in. That would put it at just over 3m, which still seems pretty small to me.

I wouldn't deny there's a lot of low-substance comments, but I've substantially changed my views on remote work from reading comments on posts like this. I used to be much more skeptical that there could be practical business costs to it.
No. For one, even taken literally the way I wrote it it's about two different sets of people -- the EU must defend their citizens (and residents, BTW), of course!

For another, if one looks past my vague wording, the EU (or at least Germany, which I'm most familiar with) doesn't have the dogma that it's required to set up a world spanning total surveillance state, no compromises beyond the ones absolutely necessary with their own constitution (and even those are followed within a rather "liberal" framework for the three-letter-agencies: they do have all possible data they can get their hands on, just pinky-promise to not abuse it, if US citizens are impacted, in the eyes of secret courts).

Looking Back On Helm
BlackBerry - that brings back some memories. 8700 was my first real smartphone - I got it on one of my first work projects because I was tasked to create mobile client for some CRM.

I distinctly remeber that the UI API was quite complicated and took me weeks to get satisfactory results.

And the IDE and simulator from RIM were so annoyingly slow that I was very close to never touching Java again.

But, I must admit that the hardware itself was quite impressive and nice to use. And it somehow allowed me to have unlimited mobile internet access 15 years before it become norm here in Poland (well almost - there are still transfer limits).
But who will build and maintain a DAW (or the equivalent that enables private practice) if there is not enough people able/willing to support it?

Those AI tools will be at the center of how we create and access music in the next decade.

It’s a bit like cars replacing horses. There will still be horses. But transportation, city/traffic rules will adjust to cars, not horses anymore.
You're definitely onto something and it's not just an age bias. I can think of a few 2D games released in the previous decade that continued this trend: Terraria, Stardew Valley, Factorio, Rimworld, Celeste, Hades.
What? The wording is really not high level, it is highly detailed. The fact that we refuse to acknowledge it is not due to the language not being detailed enough
Don't drain that juice! Save it and put it in a soup, or concentrate it by cooking the onions uncovered on high.
I grew up in the 80s and my dad definitely had several of these. He was a regular c-suite kind of guy. Nothing really secretive, but they didn’t have databases back then, so they had to travel with sensitive documents, and they didn’t want people to open the case if they left it by mistake somewhere.

Obviously it makes little sense today if you’re not a potential NSA target.

Money does not necessarily buy you quality, or if it does, a worthwhile amount of it. I have some nice knives that cost a decent amount, but guess what, my day to day knives are from a $15 ikea knife set that I bought half a decade ago. Are these knives going to last me decades? No, but with relatively minimal upkeep over the years, they're just as sharp as my nice knives. I will probably eventually throw them out when their handles start breaking, but at that point I will have gotten way more than my $15 of value out of them.

Yes, it works. Do not use too much of it.

If you don't mind the pureé-like consistency, you can further speed-up the whole process in a pressure cooker (Instant Pot). Follow the steps 1-3 from this recipe: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/pressure-cooker-beef-cur...

---
1) Prepare Pressure Cooker: Heat up your pressure cooker (Instant Pot: press Sauté button) over medium heat. Ensure your pot is as hot as it can be (Instant Pot: wait until indicator says HOT).
2) Pressure Cook Caramelized Onion Purée: Melt 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter in pressure cooker. Add in sliced onions, shallots, ⅓ tsp (1.3g) baking soda. Sauté until moisture starts to come out of the onions (~5 mins). Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 20 minutes, then Quick Release. Open lid.
3) Reduce until Caramelized (takes roughly 16 – 17 mins): There will be lots of moisture from the onions. Reduce until most moisture has evaporated over medium high heat (Instant Pot: press cancel, Sauté button and Adjust once to Sauté More function). Stir constantly with a silicone spatula. Once most moisture has evaporated, adjust to medium heat (Instant Pot: press cancel and Sauté). Stir until onions are deep golden brown and all moisture has evaporated. Season with kosher salt & ground black pepper to taste. Remove caramelized onion purée and set aside.
This has been the case throughout most Europe. UK seems to be below average though, then again nobody forced them to vote for Brexit…
Well, you can always put the flour in another container which can be closed airtight (or at least bug-tight)...
My point was
>Maybe you got lucky and your 5 dollar slow cooker really makes good caramelized onions. But my experience trying recipes over the years, there are a few good sources of free recipes from a few places on the internet, and nearly everyone, without a team of testers backing them, is at best mediocre and usually sucks.

The 15 minute caramelized onions, the cheap slow cooker onions, and other such things are nearly always lies, despite how much I wish them to be true.

I certainly do not care about that. I shouldn't have mentioned it in the first place. Apologies from my side
the mods abused the sticky functionality to get posts pushed to the front page for a long time. other subreddits were tired of t_d users brigading. they spread misinformation on purpose.

Engage in good faith in online spaces or get banned. hn is useful because it is tightly moderated.

the auto-ban of users that post in no-no subreddits was a reaction to the continued lack of action on reddit's part.
Vegetables can release a lot of water. The amount and how much it affects the other ingredients varies significantly on which you put in, in what order, how much, and in what size of pan. If the pan is crowded, has high walls, or a lid, that can also affect how much water stays in the pan.

I can't think of any situation where I would want more than a literal tablespoon of oil for cooking the first veggies thrown in (usually onion). By the time the onions have begun to caramelize there's is enough water that the original tablespoon of oil is no longer significant.
Sure. They can't be controlled because they do it without monetary payments. But it's not a good thing that they can't be controlled when a sub gets to a certain size.

At some point, large subreddits become important to the internet and they outgrow the moderators.

You know how some founders are great when the startup is small but is completely incompetent when the startup grows and scales? Then VCs bring in "adults" to run the larger startup? Yea. It happens on subreddits too but founding moderators can't be kicked out as far as I know.

This is essentially what I consider to be the non-mystical (i.e. real) definition of personal karma. Doing good things will improve your "soul" even when there is no supernatural being keeping tabs.
I gonna say the exact same thing. Most of the time researchs are funded by either cooperate or government. Especially when you are receiving supports from the government, keeping the results behind a pay wall should be considered illegal.
> Wrong

There is no 'wrong' with deciding remote/office/hybrid per se; the reasons for deciding it can be though. I mean they could just say; I prefer the office and that's it; the author is the CEO and decides. The reasons this article states are just more of a management thing than a remote work thing. The CEO/author seems to 'have tried' some type of remote work mimicking an office and wanting the same (overbearing; the reason I cannot sit in an office; it's not the office, it's the management; offices an sich are fine) control of an office situation where you can grab someone at a whim and ruin their productivity for that day.

Remote work requires everyone to change their mindset in the company; it does not mean you can sit in your underwear all day and play with your kids & dogs most of the time while working here and there a few minutes. It also doesn't mean, as a manager, that you can just hit Zoom every 5 minutes and get frustrated when there is no answer immediately. It requires a different way of working; you cannot mimic the office.
Yes, that's true for our generation, since we grew up with authors and musicians as role models we admired, and we loved their art and wanted to emulate it. But what will happen in a generation or two, when the world is flooded with AI generated art? Will the children of that era feel any desire to write or compose for pleasure? I'm not sure; I hope they will though.
I just add the some oil and a lot of salt (all the salt the dish will use) at the start and cook on high. Once they release their water lower to medium-low and let it cook.

It wouldn't hurt, as a start. If you want to learn more about it on an experiential level, I would suggest going on a meditation retreat, ideally one which is 10 days long, run by an organization with a good reputation.
I totally agree! Furthermore, chasing better employee experience can drive wins for customers, because chasing UX over EX would lead us to a very fragile, risk-prone world with few long-term efficiency improvements (short term EX is often long-term UX).

Things like DevOps ("why spend time making internal tools for maintaining infrastructure when we could manage it by hand?") and data engineering ("in the time it takes you to replace our manual Excel process with Python, we could have come up with 3 new insights for our stakeholders!") rarely prosper in situations where EX is totally discounted - even though they end up paying big dividends for the business in the long run.

Most importantly, employees are human, and dejected employees won't do their best work for you. I agree that the best place to be is somewhere on the pareto frontier, and most startup CEOs are fooling themselves if they think they're already there.

> I guess this is just a long winded way of saying that maybe your cheaply made onions are good, but after being a home cook for so long I think it is more likely the caramelized onions in my Le Creuset are going to be better.

I can guarantee you that I can make caramelized onions that are better than pretty much anything you have ever had in your life, but it won't be because I have fancier tools. It will be because I'm using delicious homegrown onions that you can eat raw like apples, that you would be hard pressed to replicate.

What's my point with that anecdote? Don't really have one, much like yours.
I'm going to bet that this one is going to depend in part on the particular product, and it's freshness/storage conditions, your location relative to the source mill, and ambient weather.

This is correct and as for which parts of the text are original, philologists such as KR Norman, Gombrich, Vetter and Bronkhorst have come to some consensus (like on the four noble truths and dhyana), excluded some things and some things are still debated.
That illustrates the first Noble Truth.

I would limit first-offense punishments to max 7 day bans. And to shadow-ban a post (versus locking it) for a first offense I'd require it be done by a Reddit admin, and then only for things such as site-wide rules violations.
> So most interactions are async, leading to lower bandwidth, more context switching, and more things falling through the cracks.

Wouldn't async interactions lead to less context switching?
No, that is not the prep step. The prep step starts with all of these done and is mixing all of these together in a zip lock bag and putting it in the fridge. So 5 minutes seems even a bit high.

The time for recipes is always "with all ingredients washed, peeled, chopped and set ready to go in a bowl. Start!". Also note that step 2 is to put the onions into the pan (but no step says to cut onions) and that the ingredient list says "garlic, peeled, finely grated" and not "garlic" and "onions, sliced thinly".

You might not like that convention of "time" or would like "actual time" in addition, but it is a pretty universal convention. And it makes sense: the prep time can vary wildly (e.g. peeling and chopping veggies) making the "actual time" quite useless and in professional kitchens other people do this prep work.

So hard disagree from me. The time seems pretty spot on.
How do you suppose a single or 1-5 human moderators can cope with bots better than the collective subreddit members?

Or do you think that some bots will be so human like that they can't be distinguished by other subreddit users, but they can be distinguished by moderators?

Very much so and that’s the big red flag. I’d pick someone with a diametrically opposite preferences and lifestyle to me, over someone who’s judgmental and narrow minded, even if I happen to agree with them at the moment. This post reeks of “there is only one way” mindset, which is particularly ironic given that the domain is innovation.

Yeah. It’s loads more difficult without an easily searchable backup.

Everything that happened since Brexit is a disaster and it’s mainly the fault of conservative party and their voters (also labor picking comrade Corbyn to be its leader meaning there weren’t really any reasonable alternatives..).

You make a fair point. I’m sure there are situations where those assumptions don’t hold.

But, I think for most startups, there is _so much_ to do at any given time that, in general, no one should be left twiddling their thumbs, especially with smaller teams.

This is a great post. Thank you to indulge us. I also like the domain name: SERIOUS Eats!

Real question: I wonder if these recipe websites have done A/B testing on total amount of time in the recipe. In 2023, I could believe it. If recipes with shorter durations are shown, you get more hits. Same with the ridiculous suggestion that all recipes need 1 tablespoon of oil (or less!). People will also return more frequently to your ad-tech empire that provides lousy recipes.

To me, free recipes are no better than free media (online newspapers, YouTube TV, etc.). If you aren't paying, then you are the product.

I use online free recipes to get an idea of the ingredients and proportions. Sometimes, an YouTube video can give you ideas about technique if you are new to an style of cooking. I need to cook something a few times to find the right balance.

My latest recipe is trying to replicate the black vinegar semi-sweet thickened sauce used in Chinese fried eggplant recipes. The premade stuff has a huge list of ingredients -- too many "extracts". I'm am trying to reduce to the fewest number possible, but still tastes close to restaurant style. Each time I make it, I look at my cooking notes, then make small adjustments.

> We are going to charge $50, which even if I sell thousands of copies, will be pennies on the hour for everyone.... This is a rip-off?

The part that is missing in the equation: How much value will this give to your readers? The answer is probably different for each individual reader of your book. For some those $50 might be a great investment and I certainly wish you and your audience that there are many such cases. But there is probably also a long tail of people who will not benefit enough to warrant the 50$ price tag - potentially because there's only parts of the book that are actually relevant to them or because they thought that the book answers some important questions that they had but it actually doesn't.

And then there's also the individual financial situation of the readers. Especially grad students are not exactly known for being rich. 50$ might be a lot of money to them. While it is possible that they will derive a value greater than 50$ from buying the book, it is far from guaranteed and can be a risky investment, especially when there are also other expensive books that they need to buy.

The point that literally everyone's been making, quite clearly and coherently, is that there is no need to develop special methods to export "entropy" if you just generate it slowly enough, i.e., sustainably.

Your sass is even more embarrassing considering that you've missed this very basic point every time someone has patiently explained it to you. Further, your focus on entropy is misguided and ultimately irrelevant. Thermal energy is only proportional to entropy in the equilibrium setting but as has been made painfully clear by now Earth is an open system that is always far from equilibrium, so obviously it's not a very useful factor to consider.

Saying that corporate media is left leaning is just propaganda that the right uses to play the refs. It's just absolutely not true, downvote all you want. The reason reddi seems shockingly biased to many is because you don't see left leaning media very frequently if at all outside of reddit. Same reason why people search for reddit to try break out of google's seo bubble, it's one of the few outlets for noncorporate grassroots expression left on the internet.
