The answer is... complicated:

- Using butter for pasta is something that is typically reserved for people with upset stomach (understand diarrhea). It's not scientific at all, but just something that is commonly done.

- Fettucine Alfredo[1] is a real italian dish invented in Rome. It's made with butter and cheese. It was originally popular in the touristy areas, targeting foreigners, but over time I notice it slowly appearing in "real" restaurants.

- "Pasta Fresca" (tagliatelle, raviolis, tortellinis, etc) is often served with butter-based sauces (like a lot of the traditional northern cuisine).

A simplistic way to think about it is that butter is a rich luxurious ingredient used in the North, whereas the South is more likely to use Olive oil.

Note that other fats can be used, it's not just olive oil:
- Carbonara / Alla Gricia will use the animal fat from the _guanciale_ (the cured pig meat) and avoid using any oil or butter
- Cacio e pepe will use neither and use the cheese itself as fat for the sauce. It's a simple pasta, but it's difficult to get right, since parmesan/pecorino are diffcult to emulsify.

I hope the EC sends this back to the kitchen right away. It’s not a solution that complies with the spirit of the law. Any such solution - just like properly following the GDPR for most adtech companies - would cost a massive chunk of revenue. This is an order to give up revenue. Apple thinks it can get away with 100% of its revenue and still be in compliance. That’s a fantasy.

For me that would be C#, as it is the closest to Modula-3 ideas in mainstream computing, but I doubt many would agree, specially die hard C and C++ devs in some sub-communities, where knowing by heart Assembly opcodes is a reason to be proud of.

I guess we need something else everyone can agree upon.

Until then, the computing foundations will kept be being written in C++, until some big name decides to rewrite LLVM, GCC and VC++ into something else.
there is a lot of this that is mid-flight.

all these layoffs are coinciding with an uptick in skunkworks “how can something like chatgpt or copilot replace the need for a backfill or act as a force multiplier?” an additional monthly subscription for each team member in place of an additional headcount for the team. you can get a lot of chatgpt subscriptions before you reach the cost of one person.

You're assuming a developer would have bothered submitting such an app to Apple's store in the first place or hasn't tried to already. The reality right now is that many people just give up because of either Apple arbitrarily banning things for opaque reasons, Apple banning things because they compete with Apple, or because it's not economical enough to be worth the effort (the other effect of high commission rates, not only do users end up paying more for apps that are available, but it causes some apps to never exist).

This also assumes that Apple won't make their store more friendly to developers once they have competition... i.e that app that would have never existed could now exist in Apple's store because they are forced to actually compete. As I said - indirect benefits.

You can have simple DENY for inbound TCP connections, because you can simply block incoming SYN packets. But inbound stateless DENY can't deal with UDP, as there is no connection.

So your options are either to prohibit UDP (goodbye QUIC) or to have stateful tracking.

I'm using a competitor on Android since both Anki apps (AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid) really aren't good enough for my language learning activity. They aren't as good as the desktop Anki app.

I'm actually thinking of building my own app for a while since the all the flashcard apps on mobile don't really work for me. Not sure I'll find the motivation to do it though, I'm just using the least bad option I've found.

Specifically, I want to always auto-play cards with TTS and there doesn't seem to be an option with the apps to do that.
Traditionally, the play / pause button is labeled with both icons. It has no need to display state, because the state of playing or being paused is obvious to the user. That button would be telling you the same thing you see by watching your video.

But a mute indicator isn't telling you how other people appear to you. (That would be "deafen".) It's telling you how you appear to other people, which you have no other way of knowing.
I would imagine getting suddenly sprayed with cleaning solution from multiple directions is probably sufficiently unpleasant that it will get exaggerated as it's re-told.

Horizon is beautiful. The creator has also recently started working on a 3D modelling program (Dune3D) in the same style which I am very excited about.
This is genuinely beautiful on a few levels. Esthetically it is pleasing to just sit and watch. Philosophically it is interesting in that it is a digital metaphor for an ongoing struggle.

Lastly, and most interestingly, it remixes two really simple old ideas into something new. This is an exceedingly rare thing to do well.

Kudos. Many kudos.

I don't understand the extreme amount of work that people put into works like this that could be shut down forever at the whim of the copyright holder.

"There is ongoing debate about to what extent fan fiction is permitted under contemporary copyright law. Some argue that fan fiction does not fall under fair use, as it is derivative work. The 2009 ruling by United States District Court permanently prohibiting publication in the United States of a book may be seen as upholding this position." [1]

Unless we can greatly reduce the length of copyright terms and/or clarify that fan fiction is allowed, you might as well create only original works so your months or years of work doesn't go to waste.

Update: From the link another HN user found, it says, "The Bartkira organizers knew that Matt Groening had seen a copy but to date have never received a cease and desist order. As an extra defense, Harvey decided to donate all of the book's profits to charity [including] Save the Children, a charity preferred by the late The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon."

So the creators are walking on eggshells, making sure they don't earn a cent and hoping the copyright holders don't sue one day.

I'm not sure what your argument is, but if it's "bad people should stop doing bad things", I agree with you but I don't think it'll be very effective.

If it's "people shouldn't point out flaws on things", I have to disagree.

In practice, hostnames are sent by most clients, because it requires pretty much zero effort from the device. mDNS requires a complicated service that needs to be always on.
Agreed.

I pull it out undercooked so I have time to add enough pasta water in the pan and let it reduce. If it's already al dente by the time it's added to the pan, then I find I have to rush through the mixing.
I tried to make it work for me many times. Several people in my circle recommend it, I understand the concept of spaced repetition, I wanted it to be useful.

This is deeply interesting.

I've sometimes contemplated the possibility of doing things like this to guard against memory errors causing mis-entry to particularly critical control flow paths - this is certainly an example of that. But never heard of anyone actually trying to do this until now.

A "how to write rowhammer-resistant code" writeup would definitely be useful here - even if it is definitely something people cannot do for anything, I can certainly see cases where there is a case for it.

Technology has actually improved massively since 2010. There's nothing wrong with the batteries on the market today. Relative to 2010, they are safer, provide better energy density, use less problematic materials like cobalt, etc. There are also a few new chemistries like LFP and sodium ion.

Solid state is more or less progressing on a time line that hasn't really deviated a lot from what was projected a few years ago. There are a few companies out there that by now have proven that they can build cells that last lots of cycles and generally perform well. Taking those cells to production necessarily involves a series of increasingly larger plants to produce these cells and testing the hell out of the resulting cells. This is a slow process but it seems like a few companies are ramping up production volumes.

Quantumscape is a good example. They are exactly where they said they would be a few years ago. They've delivered sample cells to a few of their customers (VW and a few others) and the tests came back positive. I think this year they are building small production facility to start producing low volumes of cells. If that's successful, we might see some cars from 2026/2027 onwards or so. But I would expect volume production to be dominated by LFP and increasingly sodium ion batteries for cheaper EVs for quite some time. They are good enough. Higher energy density will come at a premium.
I'm designing an app right now with this pattern and I'd love to get it "right".

We've got a video playing and an icon button which controls whether the video is muted. We've got a "playing speaker" and a "muted speaker" icon.

Yeah, even when Sun made Solaris open source, not a lot of people cared. It spawned a small number of derivative distributions, but it barely got any traction. By that the time Sun open sourced Solaris Linux had long won the server market and the small FLOSS desktop niche.
It is not a very good argument that their subscription service has not increased in price in 17 years. Many online services have kept their price but the number of users have increased a lot.
The important thing about ShadowStats is that they show different methods of calculation price inflation.

Calculating inflation from prices is not easy since people tend to consume more chicken or pork of beef is getting more expensive. If you still only consume beef the price index do not show your personal reality, and this reality is different for all people.
In aggregate everything that is produced get consumed over time, so the total prices paid is always connected to the total amount of money available.
I was going to write very long answer. But I am drunk, my English is very bad, and do not care. So here are just a few key points:

* can I run Xfce or other WM on MacOS if its unix? On FreeBSD it is not o problem. I do not care about Mac native WM. Unix is about choice, I do not feel like that on Mac.

* It is not 1990tie. Everyone uses virtualization, even development for Solaris.

* Look at ollama install instructions. It expects you to pipe random URL into your shell and execute it. It asks for sudo password! How many MacOS users will do that on their only laptop, because they can not afford any extra RAM for virtualization or separate machine?! It is like doing random hookups at bar without condom!

* I do not care about operating system. For my it is a just a launcher for VirtualBox where I do my work. I need a lot of cheap RAM and SSD space for my workflow. Windows machine can do that, MacOS not (10000 USD machine does not count).

* GNU/Linux is so 2000. Many people run stack that has no GNU whatsoever. MacOS is very premium machine for this type of 1990ties mentality (single personal machine).

* Look into QubeOS I have machine for emails, browser, debuging... Machine where I can see production data has no access to Internet at all. Machine that can modify github repos is paranoidly locked down... I have a few physical machines on separate network to test random opensource stuff. It would cost probably million USD to replicate that on MacOS network eccosystem!

* I do not care about hardware. My laptop with 8TB SSD and 64GB RAM costs less than 1000 USD. Sometimes I just donate it to someone while traveling, not to carry extra two kilos (I replace RAM sticks and NVME disks). I got 10 of those on sale for 400 USD!

I'm guessing the parent post means volumetric energy density, and you're referring to gravimetric energy density.

It's frankly inexcusable to not be specific when you're citing an article where both figures are clearly visible. You must have seen it, and consciously chosen to ignore it, causing unnecessary confusion.
I see this as analogous to the Dust Bowl, where the politicians and coastal elite ignored or dismissed the growing problem until it was too big to ignore.

It would have been nice if they had David Lapham in there, but you can't have everything in life
You get better at it the more you do it, and naturally with experience you'll notice it takes less and less time.

That being said, I agree with you, it does take a lot of time. To me, the switch occurred when I stopped considering this time "wasted" and instead consider it fulfilling. I actively look for the time I'll spend cooking each day, I believe it's a good use of my time and I don't try to rush through it.
The solution to that is to not take sides. International Humanitarian Law doesn't take sides: for example, you can't target civilians, no matter who they are or what they or their homies have done, or who they support or don't support. There's no need to take any side on that.

As I (think I) said in another comment, the strongest possible position one can adopt is the one supported by the facts. The Palestinian issue is so hard because there is an overwhelming amount of facts and only a few people are really in possession of all the facts. That's what skews the debate.

So e.g. when you go on the internet (I mean the-site-formerly-known-as-Twitter) you see a veritable fire hose of facts taken out of context. It's like people, humans, don't have a memory, they can only remember what's been posted on Twitter in the last week or so. The videos of Israel's atrocities circulate freely, but no videos of Hamas' atrocities circulate and even if they did, that was three months ago. So people kind of organically are shunted into one side, or the other, like sheep to slaughter, and there's no way to form an opinion that is really on the side of peace, huanitarian law, and human life.

So the solution is to not take sides and not try to form an opinion, even. Support peace, support IHL, support whoever is not talking about killing people, or taking over land, or waving flags, or saying who's right and who's wrong. In a war, to take sides is to perpetuate the war. To help people find peace we must stop taking sides.
Please don't talk like that about Sweden. They are bad, but don't quite deserve this.

Much of this is overengineered. My entire wife's family is from Sicily, and I lived there for 5 years. The important step is to add the pasta to the sauce skillet after the pasta is al dente, and cook it for another minute or so while turning it. This is called "mantecare" in Italian. If you want, you can add a few lines of oil after you turn off the fire ("al crudo" i.e. "raw"). I have never seen anyone do the other steps.
Yes, and my kids are likely to be like me, outliers, that will end up suffering the same way.

And I heard the reason why teens act out so much can be due to the incredibly stifling environment they are in for their age. I think the rise of over-controlling helicopter parenting is making that even worse?

Throughout history the treatment of children in society has been absolutely appalling. And even in today's times emotional abuse of children is very common. During the COVID lockdown nearly half of children were victims of it.

Kicad. Went from zero to fully working, quite complex digital board with it.

A few tips:

Use ultra librarian for parts when possible. They're usually better.

Making your own footprints is a pain but necessary sometimes. FreeCAD is another OSS tool that also has its rough edges but is good enough. Use the sketcher tool and the datasheet to build up all the lines you'd need (including for cutouts, pads, silkscreen, etc), export as DXF, then import into KiCad's footprint editor. You can then switch layers for each line or use them to position pads such that they're fully accurate and you don't have to think too hard about offsets and whatever.

Find (or make!) a good part manager if you're populating your own boards. I wrote some simple REPL around sqlite in Node.js for working with parts, and have a cheapo barcode scanner from Amazon to work with mouser IDs and the like to "check out" parts as I populate. In hindsight, I wish I had written it in Python. I also use this tool to convert the BOM kicad exports into a more reasonable format for buying. I also subtract away the parts in the DB I already have so I don't keep buying extras of stuff. Just an idea.
It doesn’t stop OD, but it reduces OD because it eliminates one type of very common OD: people taking seemingly safe quantities of drugs that have been laced with fentanyl.
Used horizon for many projects so far. Works perfectly fine and the UI is much better than KiCADs
Renewables can replace fossil fuels as an energy source. To undo a century plus of burning fossil fuels, you'll need a revolutionary energy source that outputs an order of magnitude more power. Maybe fusion, or maybe something that we cannot yet fathom. You can imagine this all coming to a happy ending, but at this point it's all up in the air. Both the CO2 and whether it'll ever come down again.
Typically, you have a parser handle and can use that to query it about various aspects of its state. Here it would include line number, character offset, and byte offset. The type of error can be encoded in the error return value.
