My school had the option of the Duke of Edinburgh's scheme instead. I chose this because I didn't want to wear itchy uniforms once a week and be shouted out by teachers who seemed to have fond memories of National Service. I eventually got to meet Prince Phillip, who asked me whose heavenly bodies I looked at using the telescope I'd made on a D of E project.
> I could go on for more pages than anyone would care to count about Farscape. It is, without any doubt, one of the greatest science fiction television series’ ever created. Please quote me on that.

A’men! It holds up incredibly well to modern scifi because there’s very little CGI and it doesn’t look as badly dated as say, Babylon 5. It’s sad that there’s no one who really does animatronics like Henson anymore and if the show were to be remade today (god forbid), all the characters would probably be Andy Serkis in a mocap suit.

My favorite puppet to this day is the Seer Creesus [1] which would have given me nightmares if I had watched the show as a kid.

What would you consider part of a PWA focus area?

You link to https://web.dev/learn/pwa/capabilities and https://whatpwacando.today elsewhere, but I think many would consider many of those features to not be inherently PWA features. Many, _many_, of those features have wide usage outside of PWAs, which makes putting them into a "PWA" bucket somewhat meaningless. Constructing buckets like "Storage" or "Media" would probably be more meaningful to web developers.

If you look at the basic definition of PWAs, it's primarily about manifests and service workers, and about using the web platform in combination with these.

Manifests are hard to test automatically — their content is largely shown in differing parts of browser UI, and UI is by-and-large unspecified in web standards (because vendors want freedom to make their own UI decisions) — which makes including them difficult. It's also unclear how much there is in way of interoperability problems.

Service workers are definitely something that could be proposed (though haven't been in recent years); I again don't believe there's been that much in way of interoperability problems there recently.
You seem to be quite wrong [1].

I remember before the ground incursion everyone was warning about the trap Hamas set for IDF, with thousands of soldiers KIA. That it will take years for the army to take over Gaza city, the heavily fortified Hamass stronghold, etc...

Well after two months of fighting with very minimal losses, soldiers could enjoy a nice coffee with sunset on the Gaza beach and that beautiful city (used to be). And now the brigade that was there left home.

The economy will recover, they had worse. Red Sea conflict with Houthis created a new economic opportunity with a land route over Saudi Arabia and Jordan to Haifa port, this is an amazing thing that would have been crazy just 5 years ago. Most importantly Arab nations still want to continue normalization with Israel and just did minimal lip service to support Palestinians.
Netanyahu will be out and that will be a huge boost to the country in every aspect. Immigration from UK and US jumped 300%, and highly educated professionals are moving to Israel.

The outlook is very optimistic IMHO.
hours of work, massive mess to clean up

I don't know how you're making pasta, but it it doesn't have take this long, and there's certainly not a lot of mess (one bowl and one surface the size of a cutting board to clean)...

If you've got a cookbook and you're trying to make fiddly shapes or pasta in quantities like they do in fancy restaurants like French Laundry, OK, I can see how that may take hours, and maybe that's the problem, but if you're just making orecchiette or cavatelli for your family, it's not going to take long at all.
Just to be clear, I'm not claiming nothing should be taxed. My point is that people often look at their federal income tax rate and think thats the whole story, when it's not even close.

New mexico is a middle of the road state when it comes to taxes (https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/tax-burden-by-state...), so that lowers yours a little bit. Mine is on the higher end of that.

Maybe you don't find the argument that taxes increases your costs in other ways compelling, though I don't see how. I think the usual objection to that is "well its worth it", which could be true, but it should show up in an accurate accounting.

I'd argue the same for inflation (this isn't some novel argument on my part https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seigniorage#Seigniorage_as_a...).

I guess back to the original question though. If you're convinced your total tax burden is 22.5%, how much more would you like to have taken?
There's a common misconception that fresh pasta is always better over store bought.

In fact, there are two different kinds of pasta here fresh (egg based) and dried (semolina based) pasta.

Egg pasta can easily be made at home, without even the need for any machines.

Dried pasta requires industrial heavy duty machinery due to the force required to shape the pasta.

It's also important to note that not all sauces pair well with fresh pasta and same goes for dried.

Nowadays I'm careful when picking dried pasta from the supermarket. I have learnt that the more yellow the colour, and the smoother the texture, the lower the overall quality will be of the pasta.

Looking for these key indicators will give you pasta with better texture and pasta water to use for your sauces.
I make my own pasta when the sauce warrants it.

In my experience, homemade noodles will absorb sauce much better than the store-bought version. And, with a good sauce, the result is just _so much better_. You won't find me making my own noodles if they're going to be paired with Ragu, though.

Here's what is unsolved for me: store-bought garlic bread in foil to heat in the oven, or roll-my-own garlic butter and bread?

It's just a bunch of CSS rules lmao
I also have YT premium. On desktop, I use firefox and the popout video feature. It is easily resizable and movable. Downside is that js-player controls still show on the webpage, not the popout. On ios, once paused, just tap anywhere on the video anywhere there isn't a widget. That hides all the video controls for me.

Edit: Also there are keyboard controls for going frame-by-frame, if you need that much control. Or there was last time I used it a long time ago.
And Israel will continue receiving money, unlike Hamas/UNRWA that Israel managed to defund.

I know setting a price is scary, but it is one of the critical pieces of information for anyone stumbling on your product.

If you are looking for a way to take advantage of traffic but aren't ready for pricing, ask for my email address for your newsletter. That's easier for me to give than my time to "kick the tires" with a free trial.
Have considered those standards in some safety critical, high vibration applications. NASA aren’t kidding. It was eye opening to me to consider crimps superior to soldering in terms other than convenience.

We never got out of the prototyping stage but it was clear that we wouldn’t use this approach for the parts of the system that weren’t vibrating. Of course if you’re building a space- or aircraft it’s worth doing this pretty much everywhere.
Sorry to hear. I didn't know they were that bad, but now I do. I find it really disturbing that they even deleted the chat history.

I've used a similar technique I learned in the oilfield to join or repair solid conductor and stranded wire breaks.

Just strip an identical length of insulation from the wires to be joined then form a U in each by bending them halfway thru the stripped section. Join the bent ends and give them a twist for a mechanical connection as you would in forming a Western Union twisted splice. You should put a heat shrink sleeve on one wire if you have one with you.

Take your ordinary solid core solder strip about 3X longer than your splice and use a hammer, the side of some pliers, a rock, etc to pound it flat so that it is then enough to bend easily.

Wrap the splice with this thin strip of solder across the whole splice and trim so that it doesn't overlap the insulated ends. Take a strike-anywhere match, a camper's match, a small butane torch, cigarette lighter, etc and hold it close to the solder until it melts into the splice. Then pull the heat shrink tubing over the splice if you have it and shrink it with your heat source. If you have no heat shrink tubing coat it with some 3M waterproof sealant, some rubber tape insulation, or plain electrical tape if that is all you have.

This works great and requires ordinary tools like a pocketknife, matches, and some sort of sealant.
I've been (slowly) writing a book for about a year and a half now probably, and Pandoc has made it so easy. I write everything in Markdown and use a seven-ish line Makefile and that's it. It generates the PDF and EPUB both extremely well and the customizability of everything in the generation process is fantastic.

I end up using it for random doc generation too in my day to day. It's just a damn fine piece of software that always works and has every feature I could dream up for my use cases.
This isn't accurate. Israel doesn't control Gaza and in fact has lost control areas that it once had under control. Hamas continues to launch rockets from northern Gaza and multiple battalions have had to be withdrawn, including the elite Golani brigade. Israel is also under major pressure in the north with over 100k settlers evacuated and constant losses from Hezbollah. That's not even counting the political battles Israel has lost and will continue to lose.

How about store-bought "fresh" pasta? In France there are a bunch of brands selling these. You have to keep them refrigerated even before opening, the expiration date is usually not too far off in the future, and once you open the pack you have to eat them in a couple days.

Outside of restaurants pretending to do fresh pasta, I've never had actually fresh pasta, but some of these store-bought ones are very good, at least as far as my palate is concerned.

I was listening to Eno when this album was released - but when I read the parent I went right to Apple+'s FAM. I'd totally forgotten about the documentary; like people on the moon, it was long ago.
>It feels like no real kids are testing the parental controls

I feel the same can be said about accessibility service:
Once you get the accessibility permission, you have FULL control over the user's device. They could just split those permissions and expose a more fine-grained control api, but they (I suspect) have some one, verry extreme use case in mind and design the service around it (like ie. phone user being completly blind and requiring the accessiblity app to be an interface for literally all interactions with the device).

Which means that whenever you want to use some feature of that api, you have to trust an app completely and give it a carte-blanche to do whatever it wants on your device.

Which ultimately leads to gigantic whole in platforms security, for no other reason then 'this is the way and scenarios we intend people to be using it, and we give no compromises for anyone who has any other usege in mind'
The consequences are a hit to your reputation (I think they call this "being canceled" nowadays). I guess you can get to a point of wealth where this doesn't really matter. But at least for 99% of people this is really harmful and takes a lot of effort to rectify.
Why don't many generals take demotions in rank to spare soldiers' lives?

If so, where I can I find more?
Supermarket gnocchi may as well go by a different name, if you have it in a proper restaurant or make it at home it's just completely different - and make it at home and you'll realise that you cannot just vacuum seal it and keep it refrigerated for a few months; there really is something quite different going on.
I have a CPAP that has run for 5-8 hours a night every night for 9 years without any servicing. It’s amazing how robust medical devices can be.

My new one has LTE so that people know when I’m asleep to rob me, and a ton of other annoying “modern” features so I’m hoping this old one just keeps on going.

> “When everyone has the same mindset, the team becomes an echo chamber. Balance allows the team to find more holistic solutions to problems"

I can relate to that as a Latin American working in Europe; in the USA specifically this balance is way easier to find and there are more checks and balances.

My first year here I came from this Humanistic Mindset which is the standard in America as a whole; however being in EU I found out that most of the people run (not are, but run) in this Mechanistic Mindset.

Initially makes sense because when you have a a different background, the best you can do is equalize the communication style.

Someone said something interesting about those differences that relate to the article: In the US the culture is more or less like a salad, where maybe all the ingredients are sliced but more or less you know each one, and the result is something good. In Europe, the culture is more like a soup or a Fundue where differences are below the water but the surface is homogeneous, or all the ingredients are melted together.*

Checkout Airbyte and singer.io for data movement. They're tailored for moving offsite data local, but also have support for moving data between different database vendors. I'd recommend starting with Airbyte.

For transformations I'm a sucker for dbt-core, which executes transformations as SQL against your data warehouse vs. a separate process. This keeps everything simple and (generally) snappy. It uses the Python Jinja2 template library to compose SQL templates, and the process that parses templates to SQL also implicitly creates an execution DAG so you could have hundreds of transformations running in the exact order they need to.

There are also many commercial offerings (Fivetran, Dataform) that don't tick self-hosted, but could be easier to deploy if getting internal hardware support is an issue.

For those who are interested in this and are willing to just take my word for it here are some things to know.

1. Fresh pasta and dry pasta are apples to oranges.

2. Making fresh pasta for 2 people is easy (about 30 min from nothing to cooked).

3. For more people than that, either be prepared for much more work, or make lasagna.

4. The secret is to weigh the eggs and adjust everything using that measurement.

5. The "volcano" honestly makes no sense. Just use a bowl and the right proportions. (edit: mix and knead in the bowl)

6. 50g egg + 100g processed flour (i.e. '00' in Italy, not sure other countries)

7. You can add 'semola' (also called 'semolina'), 50g egg + 80/20 (flour/semola).

8. If you have a system for drying, then it becomes much easier to make more. (edit: system != commercial machine, just some plan, e.g. a countertop)

9. Otherwise, the best way is to just make it and cook it immediately.

10. For dry pasta, buy it. If the color is white it's high quality, yellow is low.

It will also work with 10 rows. ;0)

If you need to wire together a pipeline of transforms (e.g. merge 2 datasets->remove empty rows->dedupe rows->filter rows) then the visual data flow approach is very powerful. But if you are only doing 1 transform (e.g. base64 encoding) then it doesn't have any real advantages.
Just make it a few times and see for yourself. It's very very easy to do and doesn't require any special ingredients or tools. Flour (any type!), eggs (optional), water, rolling pin, knife.
Show HN: Personal Financial Copilot
Hey guys, need your feedback on my side-project.

I am building a personal financial advisor to help with personal finances including transactional analysis, spends categorisation, anomaly detection in spends and budgeting plans. It's build with the Assistants API from OpenAI along with a data pipeline for ingestion where we operate OCR, scripting and other methods to improve the data and maths calculations to reduce hallucination.

It works by just uploading any financial docs from bank statements, credit reports to even receipts and invoices. We don't store any user info including files, chat history or anything for now and data is deleted in a period of 7 days. Any criticism like privacy, security and functionality issues, I am ready to discuss even if it's the tech stack.

I have 3 years of experience in building in Fintech, worked for 2 YC backed companies and have built a similar product called Pocket (https://getpocket.money). Happy to answer any questions, I mean any questions. Given enough support I could also open-source the codebase.

Waiting to hear back from you guys. Love you all
It might depend on the product and brand. Here in France, I'm very happy with the frozen berries I get at Picard. Their fish is also very good.

A few things you're missing. You're making a batch in your kitchen. They're making a significantly higher volume through an industrialized process. You probably throw things in a ziplock bag, then into the freezer. They need to think of actually packaging a product. You can source the highest ingredients you can, as you only need a little. They need to be able to source ingredients at a volume that can satisfy production and at a cost that makes the item profitable. You don't really worry about how long it'll last because you plan to use it in a month or two. They need to ensure the product stays fresh during storage, on the shelves, and in your fridge/freezer for longer than you expect.

Each of these components requires compromises in a way that the home cook doesn't need to worry about. These are the things that cause compromise in quality, the addition of ingredients you'd never add yourself, and a lack of freshness that's apparent to anyone who makes their own versions from scratch. The best you can do is buy items from small, local, specialty shops, but it will be much more costly and just about anything you find in your average grocery store isn't going to be produced at that scale at all.

Looking at all the comments here, I’d like to add that fresh made pasta has eggs and is more suited to ravioli and bolognese. You can’t make homemade pasta that will come out al dente. You could substitute water for eggs in the dough but you’ll have to dry it in a controlled environment which is beyond the scope of home made pasta. “Alex French guy cooking” did a whole pasta series and concluded that homemade pasta won’t compete with quality Italian store bought pasta. If you want that perfect al dente bite, you are better off visiting your local Italian import store and picking up pasta that requires longer cooking durations. Besides consider the health implications - do you really want carbonara which is basically eggs with fresh egg pasta ?
This is AMAZING thank you for surfacing it!!
