Right. I've been eating tofu in the US all my adult life, since about 1983 or so. Everywhere I've lived (FL, GA, NC, AZ, CA) it's been available in standard grocery stores, generally with several varieties. Asian markets, as you note, have many varieties.

I have a number of vegetarian tofu recipes I like but... my favorite Ma Po tofu recipes (there are innumerable versions) have meat in them.

I really dislike how common, ancient foodstuffs get tilted into ideological pigeonholes. There's a galaxy of vegetarian Chinese dishes, of which tofu is just one component. I've started to learn about Asian pickles and oh dear how deep it goes. Just fantastic, and delicious!

Anyway it never occurred to me that people shy away from tofu because it's vegetarian; people cook with eg beans and vegetables, right? I always thought it was because hardly anyone cooks traditional Chinese dishes at home. I didn't do it much myself until I discovered Fuschia Dunlop.
It would’ve been interesting if the major studios made their own Netflix.

Assuming they could execute technically on it, then a consumer would have just one subscription to get a ton of great content, and honestly would probably be compelling to have that AND Netflix (all the long tail stuff).
so you have to pay apple an ongoing fee to be able to manage your own files?

does that seem rational?

also such a weird line of thought that buying a single apple product isn't enough to be able to use it properly, and that any criticism of apple is just "us plebs using it wrong and not paying them more money"
There's lots and lots of OSS licenses out there, some more lenient than others.

I personally know quite a few OSS devs that don't care if individuals and small shops use their stuff in whatever way they want to, but obviously it's much different when a nameless megacorp does it instead.

Overfocus on Hitler obscures the reality that antisemitism was the norm in the political culture at the time. Politicians with explicitly antisemitic platforms were getting elected before the Beer Hall Putsch even happened. If we step back from the man and look at the culture, there are poignant lessons to be learned and applied to the modern situation.

Note that since Java 9, this isn't exactly true, after modules, removal of private apis being misused by packages and effectly removing deprecated APIs instead of having it forever on the platform.

Say what you will about Gentoo as a concept, it was a lot of fun when I was 17 learning more about software packaging, distributed compilation, and the ins and outs of compile-time optimization, not to mention Linux kernel optimization. And their community had pretty nice docs from what I recall. I think a few of my patches are still knocking around in some releases.

I finally realized all the tweaking and optimization and bleeding-edge software wasn't worth it once I discovered my Slackware boxes ran as fast as the Gentoo ones. Maybe there's a few very specific applications out there that benefit from all the tweaking and custom compiles; perhaps a render farm or crypto miner? But my games got the same FPS on either distro.

No, of course not, but the example does show that programming language is pretty much irrelevant.

The big lie of open source is "you have the source, so you can extend it and fix bugs yourself". Of course in theory (with enough expertise and motivation) you can do these, but in practice most open source users don't contribute to the project, so the language it is written in is entirely irrelevant.

When was the last time (if ever) you submitted a bug fix (not a report) for an open source tool you are using, let alone joined the project as a contributor?!

I do like the defensiveness from the Tweet author when someone brought up one of his own pending patent, as if it weren't the same exact thing.

I also find it interesting that it seems to be largely the hyped-by-AI crowd clamoring for abolishing Copyright laws. What's that famous saying about people turning a blind eye if they stand to make money off of things? Why is it that we're not seeing "Open"AI releasing all their source code if they're such bastions of morality and progress? Why is it that they want free, unfettered access to everyone else's work, but refuse to put their own work out there for free as well?
Thats driving on what is known as the "curtilage," the space on a private property that is effectively "partially public". FedEx can drive up a driveway, and use your walkway to deliver a package. That is okay. FedEx can not jump your fence and enter your backyard to leave your package somewhere safe. The backyard is off limits. As such, an irrigation access road is NOT within the curtliage of any property and thus is more of a "backyard" to those not permitted. There are signs and gates which state that yet FedEx directed its drivers down that road several times and they complied.
There are many visas for rich people, like Korea's investor visa (500m KRW - $386,182k). I don't see why any country needs to put in the work for a visa for people who don't have any money.

As I understand it, the whole point of these schemes is to collect money from people who do have it, instead of losing it to the guys who simply do remote work on the "tourist" visa.
Unfortunately, that's what language docs are for. Like I said, you can get some theory. If you're learning functional programming, you can find books on lambda calculus and category theory and more. But ultimately you have to learn how to build good software, and there are scant few books about that out there. In the functional world, I know of two and they're both in Scheme. So the best approach tends to be feet-first into the fire using the language's docs, and hopefully the creator(s) has documents explaining theory and practice.
Yes, but… LLMs scraping your stuff can probably only be prevented by the big social media. However, that is some kind of immorality which is cool.
I'm a big windows guy, pretty much windows only. Recently bought a macbook. I love windows so much that I set up my shell on the mac to be powershell and use Windows Terminal to SSH into the mac.

I'm REALLY happy with parallel desktop. It runs any productivity or programming app I've needed. It also makes it as if it's running natively on the mac, you can just open up some windows app and it pops up like a mac one. It works amazingly fast, and I can develop both x64, x32, ARM apps in visual studio on my VM. Games don't work because of DRM, but I just use Parsec to stream my desktop if I want to game anyways, so it doesn't affect my workflow. And any game I would actually play while traveling is on the mac natively.

For linux I only emulate Kali, and it works good, I love how the VM's pop up as a "Virtual desktop" so I can side swipe it, but linux vm's don't have the native integration like Windows. Once nested virtualization is enabled, i'll probably stick it in WSL, I personally don't use Linux that much since I think it's shit.

The only downside is some asshole at Apple won't put in nested virtualization for the VM's, even though M2 and M3 have support for it on linux.
Thank you for being one of the few that still cares about this.

Indeed I did.

Although, I do somewhat think that working out good optimization flags for cross-platform compiles is a moderately unusual skill, even among people who compile things regularly. Hopefully I caveated that sufficiently, I’m not saying it is a hyper-advanced dark art or anything.

I have in the past set up code on a cluster to just compile on one node for the first run with -mtune=native because I’m lazy!

A lot of Vegan meat substitutes are based on Gluten. Like Seitan.

So if you are gluten free and vegan, it's tough.

And you have to be careful because you can't just grab some vegan product and think it is safe. Thus tofu is my go-to for protein.
Definitely. It's not _hard_ to cook tofu well, but it's really easy to cook it badly.

One trick I've learned is when frying tofu, let it sit until you're pretty sure it's burned. Then wait at least that long again before flipping it and starting the process over. (It's really, really hard to burn tofu.)

Other tricks include putting it in the freezer before cooking it or microwaving it for 30 seconds before fully cooking. Both of these help to remove water from the tofu, making it firmer and easier to work with.

Tofu will pick up the flavors of whatever it's cooked with, so it's great for adding to dishes with sauces or marinades!
I have the full story on that incident. It is actually really funny.

If the guy who did it wants to come forward, that is his decision. [edit: I won't name names.]

He did provided me the full story. He told me with the understanding that the story would go public, so I will dig it up and post it.

I also interviewed the sysadmins who were running the box at the time.

1. it was not an NSA operation, it was done by a hacker.

2. it was discovered by accident, not because of clever due diligence.

Basically, there was a developer who had a flakey connection and one time his commits didn't go through. To detect this in future he had a script that would download the entire tree from the server and compare it against his local copy to make sure that his changes had been committed.

It was discovered because of the discrepancy between his local working copy and the upstream copy. Which was checked not for security reasons, but because sometimes the two were out of sync. That's all. Just dumb luck.

The sysadmins are still quite bitter about it. I know how it feels when your box is hacked and you really take it personally.

The code wasn't added by hacking the CVS, as far as I remember, but rather through a hacked developer with commit rights.

that's the story as I was told

Hello World: A Junior Dev's Perspective on Teamwork
I'd say the time for sharpening the saw was before you started the company. The next opportunity to invest into best practices / long-term is when the company actually has some traction.
> I wonder what kind of evidence might actually be used.

IANAL, but perhaps the dividing line isn't whether or not the term is commonly used as a generic one, but whether people are not generally aware that it's a brand name. I wasn't aware that "Velcro" was a brand name for a long time, for instance.

I think the majority of people using "google" generically are also fully aware that "Google" is a brand name.

So the evidence would be some sort of study showing that people think it's really generic?
Only if the new terminology is better and actually adds something. Does adopting half-baked concepts from TikTokers really add anything here?
The issue is not the meat, it's the dust. Properly washing it before cooking takes care of that. Vegetables are no different in that regard.
Can you work on a tourist visa? Obviously nobody's going to know if you get on zoom, but official sanction to work in country seems like a distinction.

Additionally with their population trendline I can imagine that Korea will be happy to have even more tourists, especially ones who stay longer. Residents are maybe preferable but I don't know that they're mutually exclusive
Nah, it happens in Dutch too. Aspirine for example is commonly used for the generic medicine, even though it's a brand name. (Hell, it's sometimes even used as a general term for a light over-the-counter pain killer like paracetamol.)

TomTom is also sometimes used for general navigation systems, though that has been going downhill as fast as the company.

"Googlen" is used too in the general sense. Google does have a huge market share, so it's usually correct, but people do "google on Bing".
I live in a region where lots of people refer to most colas as "coke", but you bet if I start selling cola in a red can with "Coke" on it I'm going to have some lawyers showing up at my door.
The decision to avoid use of the verb "to transform" is recent (2000s or 2010s), and probably due to legal troubles Hasbro's lawyers don't want to get into again. Recent Transformers media do eschew the usage of "transform" as a verb, preferring "convert" or "change form" instead. The part (organ?) that Cybertronians have that facilitates changing shape also had its name changed, from "transformation cog" in G1 to "conversion cog" in the War for Cybertron game. And Optimus Prime saying "Autobots, transform and roll out!" has gone the way of Mario saying "Yahoo!" (Nintendo feared trademark suits from the internet company Yahoo!).

The funny thing is, back in the days when Transformers transformed, their rivals the GoBots converted.
I’ve seen it replace Python and Java. In both cases, Go was a massive win from a readability and operational predictability POV. Of course I’m not talking about data science Python, which is hard to displace, but “microservices Python”, which I still have nightmares about.

I’ve not seen it replace C++ so much - that’s Rust’s job. But a SWE with 2 years of on the job experience shouldn’t be writing C++ or Rust, they should be writing Go or something equally hard to mess up. (Rust might be safe, but it gives you enough power to write truly unreadable code, just like C++ does.)

The two languages are in different niches, and I am curious why they get compared so much. I write Rust and Go, and for the stuff I work on, they almost never overlap.

True if homes are owned by individuals only. Having companies owning loads of real-estate throws a wrench into that (at least where this is common). For instance, in Zürich real new development projects are all owned by companies which almost exclusively rent.

To add salt to the injury, SBB (the federal railway company) entered the real estate market and rents exclusively. It feels like a government sanctioned way to keep people out of the housing market.

Historically, yes, pragmatically and in terms of current legal actions, copyright in the USA is almost all about protecting ideas regardless of the medium of their expression.
Obviously some ideas can’t be tested without writing some code, but it’s more of a mindset than a strict playbook–many programmers (myself included) tend to bias towards wanting to write code and avoid sales conversations until the thing feels “done”. Tech message boards are littered with programmers trying to justify why their app has to have a full polished build that will take a year before they can begin selling it.

When you get in the habit of asking yourself, before building, how you can learn the most about what people want with the least amount of code, clever ideas often come to mind.

> My recommendation is to make sure your friends aren't other foreigners, but it can be hard to find English speakers (especially outside major cities)

Korean is not the easiest language for Europeans to learn. But having learned a second language as an adult, I find that speaking the local language is amazingly useful when functioning in a foreign country. It's like, hey, I can talk! And I'm literate. Everything suddenly becomes much smoother and easier. I can hang out with people, make friends, go shopping, navigate an emergency room, and even hire skilled professionals who don't speak English. I can even take college level STEM courses, although it's brutal.

Expat bubbles are weird places. They're certainly useful for people who won't be around for more than a year or two. And getting good at Korean is a much bigger commitment than hopping between Romance languages. But if you're moving between related languages, then you can see significant payoff after 350 hours of work, and you can be able to function as an adult after 1,000 to 1,500 hours. And that's not all classroom time. Some of it can be watching TV, or just hanging out with people.

For any kind of extended stay, I feel like learning the local language is absolutely worth it.

Just to expand with more specifics: There was a movement in the mid-90s that tried to convince everyone that Texas never properly brought back into the union, and was trying to re-declare itself as the Republic of Texas[0]. Part of Oregon wants to become part of Idaho[1]. The idea to split California into three parts[2]. These types of things don't happen when everyone is full of brotherly love and is happy with the status quo. If the GP thinks that Civil War II is so absurd, I'd suggest that's just way more optimism than I would ever be able to achieve. As things are progressing, a situation like Gilead from Hand Maid's Tale is not too far of a stretch.

Technical question (half in jest, fully in earnest): Since the research and course described in the article is about how Hitler's radicalization may be analogous to current political radicalization and antisemitism, are we simply starting at the point where Godwin's law is already fulfilled, or does the corollary of Godwin's law still apply, i.e., "when a Nazi or Hitler comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever made the comparison loses whatever debate is in progress"?
