Good to hear. I have an unpopular opinion that it actually doesn't matter that much. I don't like how they play this live, only playing the E string with light downstrokes. It sounds much better in my opinion to play the full 5th. There are other songs where downstrokes make a lot of difference but not this one imo. I expect many down votes for this opinion on downstrokes but prefer not to "live on my knees, conformity".

The real issue is simply a vague use of the word "caramelize," not that they expect you to be at the stove a half-hour longer than they say.

The vast majority of recipes that say "caramelize" simply mean "cook until softened and sweet." No, technically the onions won't be caramelized after 15 minutes, but very few recipes actually want you to caramelize the onions.

Take an Italian pasta sauce. As an Italian who has cooked (and eaten) across Italy, I can say that there are nearly zero sauces where the onions are supposed to be caramelized. Yet people routinely use the word "caramelize" when describing cooking the onions for a pasta sauce.

The wrong reaction to reading that word would be to say "these damn recipe writers don't know how long that takes, dinner's going to be late kids, I guess it's going to be 45 minutes before I can add the next ingredient." The right reaction would be to cook the onions for the given time, until they are soft and translucent, and forget the word "caramelize."
Ha! Fair point. I suppose I meant normal people that don’t comment on internet cooking rants like us :P
A fun one is salt to taste early on when the dish isn't safe to taste - raw eggs are in the bowl for example. Not to mention the amount of salt to make the batter taste good is not always the same amount you want after baking is done.
I am convinced they add red and yellow bell peppers strictly because they think the dish needs more color.

I _hate_ bell peppers. I can tolerate them in big chunks where I can pick them out but if you dice them up and mix it in, I won't eat it.

I thought these scanners were installed (at least originally) mainly because of stuff like gang violence. I'd think a gang member (in their way) would be more like a "rational actor."

Also you'd have to differentiate the "smuggling a weapon" from "stabbing." The weapon smuggling part might be rational, but the stabbing itself be emotional and irrational.
Yes it does, the reason Meta's actions went from legal to illegal is because US law changed.

Facebook has worked the same way for more than a decade. First EU law changed and it was fine because the US and EU had a data sharing agreement, then US law changed. If you what Meta did wrong is not completely rearchitect Facebook in response to a US/EU squabble then your bar for right and wrong is really really low.

There's a lot of things you can point to that Meta does

There are conspiracy theories, and then there is soothsaying... It's one of the weird quirks of our culture that the former is considered bizarre, and the latter is considered ~logical/fine.

Mirrors my experience. Prep work is the most underestimated part. I think they start with everything out on the counter and unpackaged and with necessary tooling lined up and ready. But those things take time. For me, something like mincing garlic cloves takes a solid 5-10 minutes alone and is one of the things that consistently stands out as they must have started with minced garlic to get to this time estimate.
It's a great buzzword, but what does that actually mean? Carbon is an element that's all around us, we're made of carbon too. So what exactly are you going to tax and for what purpose? Try to use as precise language as possible. Basically you could just tax all consumption (including especially imports from places like China) and be done with it if the goal is to reduce emissions.

We all know that's unlikely to happen in reality, the people would be up in arms. What would actually happen if "carbon" were taxed would be a slight of hand, a redistribution from some pockets into others. I've been part of early carbon offset experiments many years ago and seen enough carbon scams in my time.

Elm has lots of great ideas, but if I were making decisions in a company, I wouldn't use it in production for anything big and long-living. Simply too much of a risk in terms of support, and finding developers with experience using it.

Only contacts I've had about Elm positions have been about rewriting existing Elm apps to something else.

[Baserow], [APITable], [Grist], and [Rowy] are all open source Airtable alternatives which offer hosted SaaS versions that include API access, though it's a bit difficult to compare the API rate limits across all these products.

Self-hosting an app like this would allow you to bypass API rate limits altogether, if you're open to it. All the above products can be self-hosted — and you might want to look at [NocoDB] and [Mathesar] if you're considering self-hosting.

There are some other proprietary Airtable competitors like [Retable], [Retool], [Rows], [Lists], [SeaTable], and [Tables] that might be worth looking at too.

Show HN: A Dead Simple Load Testing CLI Built in Go
There are plenty of good tools for load testing such as JMeter, Minigun, and more - but they all have their own set of options to learn.

> So most interactions are async, leading to lower bandwidth, more context switching, and more things falling through the cracks.

As several have already stated, async means less context switching. So what I think the author's actual problem is is that there is more context switching for him as he needs to wait for responses and finds something else to do.

As a counterpoint to the inevitable "Is Elm dead?"[0] comments, how many other languages are still rock solid after 3+ years without a new version? Shouldn't we aspire towards using tools that are stable because they are complete?

To me, this stability is a testament to the language's thoughtful design and rejection of the constant churn of contemporary web development. At the risk of sounding like a Game of Thrones fan waiting for Winds of Winter, I look forward to the next version coming out with modest changes and bug fixes whenever it is ready.

Salary and income are one of the most powerful decision making and ethics shaping factors. The flow of money literally defines everything for 95% of people, including their ideological and political preferences.

Sad but true.
We made the world's fastest plane and got to the moon in a span of about 10 years. Since then, nothing remotely as groundbreaking has occurred in flight or space travel. That was 54 years ago.

180 years ago the electric car was born, and about 105 years ago electric cars were the most popular car. Electric cars are finally becoming popular again but are still dwarfed by internal combustion.

Progress isn't linear, and the last 10% takes 90% of the effort. Without a very specific and heightened pace of work, the work will become monotonous and innovation will drag to a halt. It's not that we can't make groundbreaking work, it's that it's much harder and more expensive than we care for.

Which do you think had a greater impact on our schools: books which have potentially gay characters, or the COVID pandemic?

When you see massively falling test scores after school districts got massively interrupted for a couple of years from a pandemic, do you think it's the pandemic response that caused it or acknowledging gay people exist?

Note, I made a point to mention aptitude pre-pandemic for a reason. I imagine 40 years ago you could have also found tons of entire schools where every student was below grade level. I do agree we need to improve schools. I don't think pulling books from the library because they might touch on a topic like gay families exist is doing anything meaningful to address it.

> not be indoctrinated with any fringe madness.

Fringe madness like the round earth right? I guess you're the arbiter of what is and is not fringe madness? Whatever happened to the parents being able to choose, suddenly when it's something you believe in it's just basic fact?

For the record, I'm not a flat earther. But at the same time when I hear people saying any nutjob should have the absolute right to dictate what the curriculum or books are in the school, you'll have to deal with this. Some parent wants to not have their kids exposed to gay or trans ideas or concepts. Some parents don't want their kids exposed to the theory of gravity. Empowering one of these groups to ban the books is also empowering the other.

I received a blessing from his holiness the Dalai Lama in the mid 90s when I paid $80 a ticket with 2000 other fools to listen to an hour long, nearly incoherent speech about being nice to people.

It really was a blessing though to realize in that movement what complete fools and suckers we are for authority in this area.

Sure, but there's massive advantages to bringing it in house. The only reason I could see for them not doing it is that as autonomous vehicles are deployed widely there's going to be a massive backlash from current uber drivers and strategically it might be good for Alphabet to be able to use Uber as a heat shield.
There actually is a way to get deeply caramelized onions quickly. Ripping hot pan, start with a bit of water. Then it's just a pattern of sear, deglaze with water, sear, deglaze with water. Repeat until level of caramelization required is achieved. You won't get it in 10 minutes, but it's VASTLY quicker.
I think the real power of the stand-alone is being able to take it to inspiring places to write music or even just laying on the sofa and then you can plug in and transfer to the computer later for mixing and in-depth editing.
I loved elm(1).

I stopped using elm (email) when I found mutt(1).

Gads, that and procmail(1) were heaven. And when I finally intersected procmail with eliza, I was full of bliss... I was at AT&T (yes, THE AT&T) and it was hyper-satisfying that my co-workers recognized it and the marketing dept usually did not.
Elm isn't dead the same way Yahoo isn't dead. It's around but it isn't gaining new traction, features, mindshare.

I think it's a great language that people should explore for fun and learning. I think it was horribly mismanaged from a public relations perspective and at one point in time had a real shot at becoming a lot larger than where it will stay from now on.
> That said, Republicans talk about limited government, but in my lifetime, I’ve seen very little difference in the expansion of governmental powers regardless of which party is in control.

Since what they say in order to get votes and/or keep up the facade of democracy, can be 180deg opposite of what they big biz "partners" and "campaign donors" what them to actually do. Govt does not serve people at this point, it merely claims it does and that is just one of their many lies (especially on the top, less so at the municipality level).
I remember testing a protocol called DDE back in the Windows 3.1 days, and we couldn't figure out what Excel behaved so much faster than Lotus 123. Then we dug into the code and found that Windows 3.1 would free up all available memory as it launched Excel. A sneaky trick which I guess meant that users would find Excel much more responsive that 123 and ultimately help Microsoft get Office domination that it has today.
On a per-item basis, absolutely, but what's the number of self-service checkouts at which they faster simply by having a much larger number of kiosks? Having 10 check stands open for 10 customers, each with their own employee is inefficient, but having 15 self service kiosks open isn't out of the question.
Most instruments have parameters for things like vibrato that you can set quickly by "drawing" them with a mouse under the note in reaper (and probably other daws). Slide isn't really a normal thing with midi, you'd need the instrument plugin to explicitly support it using some sort of parameter, but if one was present it'd be easy to set via the mouse.

People want to work in the office with other people. If they go and end up working alone because their team is remote, then there is no point.

This happened to me once. The team was in NYC, and I wasn’t so I was coming to the office uselessly. I do like coming into the office since it’s easier to turn onto and way from work with travel as a context switch but that aspect made it worthless for anything else.
Plenty of spices distribute their flavors better in oils/fats than in water.

Take some szechuan peppercorns and boil them in a soup and see if you feel the ma numbing sensation. Then saute them in oil for a few minutes and then add the soup, and notice the difference.

It's the same with lots of spices.
Very amateur cook here and I never thought about this before, but I can see your point.

When I follow a recipe it may or may not turn out well. If the recipe is a bad one or there's a part of it which requires a technique I don't know, the end product won't be good.

When I learn a technique it opens up a variety of options for just creating delicious stuff. A good example was learning how to make a pan sauce. Suddenly a bunch of things lying around the kitchen became ingredients for whatever kind of delicious sauce I was in the mood for, accompanying pretty much any meat or vegetable I wanted to eat. Dozens of possibilities for making great meals all came from one technique.

When you learn the techniques you end up with tons of options for what you're going to cook and the end product turns out better because you understand why it works.

I'd be a lot more hesitant about adopting this approach to baking though!
