I have the impression there isn’t anything you can mix with water that would raise the boiling point more than a few degrees. You need pressure to go beyond, which a potato most definitely does not provide. Since the evaporating water becomes the easiest way for energy to escape, the internal temperature is bound by it.

There seems to be a lack of literature regarding the internal temperature of potatoes, to the point that this thread itself is now one of the search results, so unfortunately I could not find further references!

I can't speak to the trend, but for me, it's this idea that invalidates tastemakers and shows that good ideas inevitably stand on their own. Tony Hawk is widely respected, and yet, he's enamored with this forgotten photo of a young girl skateboarding in the rain. And she's holding an umbrella. We all agree-it's a wonderful photo.

Turns out, the girl–in the most respectful way–is just an ordinary person, and the photographer asked her to hold an umbrella, because he felt it would be a good idea. It was a good idea, and many years later the creative result has risen to the surface.

It's like when you go to a concert and witness a special moment that rocks you, and then years later you find out it has millions of views on YouTube. It's democratic validation that we are experiencing beautiful moments all the time, and that we don't need a Tony Hawk to validate them. You could argue that this wouldn't be seen without Tony, or you can reflect upon the many moments that aren't validated, and yet are filled with beauty.

When I first started doing this, I found it very hard for similar reasons as you. What helped for me was to adopt the mindset of "playing a role" when doing it -- that the person shaking hands and meeting people wasn't me, it was a character. It really was me, of course. I didn't adopt a different personality. I'm just talking about taking an internal mental stance, a little self-deception.

This wasn't my idea, it came from the fact that so many actors on screen and stage are very introverted, but they don't they don't feel it so much when they're acting because the person on the stage isn't them anymore, it's the character.
Is it a mostly inconsequential context? I think it's exactly the sort of context that is valuable and human and grounds us to events of our past.

That one photo (and the collection of photos from the 70s linked in the article) say a lot about culture, about identity, about life and how things have evolved (or not evolved, or devolved) since then.

It's a story too about celebrity, and how this picture exists in this moment, today, because a celebrity found and shared it. It's completely distorted this woman's day to day. While it seems like a positive for her, it highlights just how much power celebrity has in our mental economies. Should one person have the ability to completely blow up someone else's routine like this? I dunno! But social media definitely facilitates it!

There's a ton of very interesting topics to cover here, in addition to the ones you raise, and I don't think they really are that inconsequential!

It’s easy to just coast along when things don’t feel broken, but I am sure there are more optimal ways of approaching relationships / life.

I would love for the U.S. to standardize software engineering like electrical engineers. It wouldn't change that much, as most companies would end up switching to "developers", but it would make it clear when a business wants some serious problem solving and not just churning out half-baked features as fast as possible.
Great thought. Right now we are optimizing for moving data from machine A to machine B, but getting data to the GPU is interesting. We're on it.

I am right handed but would ride a skateboard the same way. I never even tried with my left foot forward. Even visualizing it feels wrong. I wonder why this is the apparently uncommon stance? Some people I think prefer to use their dominant foot to push, but it’s easier to keep my balance when my dominant foot is on the board.

I've worked at a tech company that explicitly avoided that. They refused to allow me to even open tickets for things not actively being worked on but were important enough they needed to be looked at in the next six months.

The reasoning? Any internal ticket could be picked for review by the SOC2 auditor so all of our tickets must follow all procedures just like client tickets. It was more important to use templates, follow processes, and resolve tickets quickly than to allow us to use the tools to do our job efficiently.
"Video Games", I mean, digital slot machines with a game on the side was doing this just fine before sports gambling was legalized.

It is against Federal law to reject any reasonable documentation that satisfies the I-9 requirements. Historically, you can bootstrap your way to meeting those requirements with not much more than affidavits and basic forgery.

There are many people who are US citizens that due to history or circumstances have no reliable documentation of such with which to bootstrap an ID -- I have people with no foundational documents in my own family. The system is designed to enable these people to bootstrap their paperwork without a reliable root document, which is of course exploitable by people that are in the US illegally.

State-issued IDs do not contain sufficient information to ensure eligibility for employment under Federal law.
This is how PEs should be certified. Sadly, licensure of PEs varies by state.

In Florida, the title of "software engineer" requires a license. To obtain the license, you only need to pass the national engineering (I forgot the exact name of the organization) exam for software engineering. The national exam was withdrawn some years ago. I wrote the Florida Engineering Board about it, suggesting that they needed to update the requirements.

Their response? Florida doesn't distinguish between PE specialties; prospective software engineers should just get a PE license in another field. They suggested electrical engineering.

So in Florida, the PE signing off on your buildings's wiring might be a chemist, or the PE supervising a bridge construction might be only trained in electrical engineering.

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-9...

I'm an employer, and this is the form that needs to be filled out when we hire someone.

Notice the 2nd page of eligible documentation. A "School ID" and "birth certificate" are adequate documentation for employment. Both can be easily forged and difficult to verify.

Also notice the bottom of the 2nd page: it allows (for a temporary period) a "receipt" of the document to be considered acceptable if it is "stolen" - meaning you don't even need to have the physical document at all.

And here's the kicker: This form does not need to be submitted to any government agency. (You literally just fill it out and put it in a filing cabinet)

Maybe I'm a bit weird, but I would never commit to using something if the person making it wasn't providing a consistent interface. It could well be different in your case, but as a general rule, a sub 1.0 version is software that isn't yet ready to be used. The vast vast majority of projects that say "you can use this, but we won't provide a consistent interface yet" end up either dying before they get to v1 or causing so much pain they weren't worth using. I can see this issue being especially bad in Rust, where small API changes can create big issues with lifetimes and such.

Congrats on launching. Looks very clean.

The main problems I have with these kind of solutions are :

- Having to make an HTTP request to get a variable (or multiple ?) for my local function to do its job. And that's a clear no-go for me, in terms of latency

- Having variables stored "somewhere else" complexifies the rollout of new features introducing new "variables", as one needs to update the external tool (here Varse), to create this variable

- Overtime, you end up with a big bag of obsolete variables that are not used anymore by the main application because you forget to remove them

The usual combo "Environment Variable / Restart" proposed by most PaaS offerings will be hard to fight IMO.

In any case, good luck with this project.
>If I earn 200k a year, and my employer earns 1MM a year from my labor,

How would you or I know whether NYT earns 1MM a year from a striking worker or 100k?

You're just assuming that the labor's value is above the pay. Have you ever met a strike or labor action that you did not like?
Is that a good thing? The more you complicate the election process, particularly the more meta-information you add - such as predictions, polls, early results - the more it drives people to play silly meta-games, trying to "vote strategically", instead of just expressing their preferences.

I feel this violates some fundamental assumptions about the democratic process - when most people play the metagame, the result is no longer expressing real, object-level preferences of the people. At the very least, it encourages "us vs. them" thinking instead of focusing on improving lives.
This is the next key talking point for a winning candidate, and may be the ultimate solution to US immigration. It can and will gain popular support, but it will take someone sneaky enough to gain their party's support on other matters first; either after becoming the party's nominee or after being elected. Either one.

(If you propose this after being elected you might only last one term though; it's a bit of a rug pull. Better to pull the rug out from under your party rather than the voters.)
The documents are fraudulent but valid. It violates Federal law for an employer to not accept these documents if offered.

People are motivated by not becoming Federal criminals.

Certainly the ballpark size of the ca 1897 population is relevant.

Just not the fine grain of whether it was 3 or 5 or 8 percent.

Either way, the commenter's salient point still stands: like all Zionists at every point in the history of the movement, regardless of subvariant -- Einstein never paid enough attention to the rights of the non-Jewish native population of region (being variously an absolutely overwhelming majority of the population up until about 1936, to a still thoroughly solid majority until 1948).

> In software engineering, a spinlock is a lock that causes a thread trying to acquire it to simply wait in a loop ("spin") while repeatedly checking whether the lock is available

Immediately waking itself, the task is scheduled and will be polled again shortly. This creates the loop in which is checks if the lock is available. This has no effective difference compared to using hint::spin_loop() but in async.

A more traditional lock will use a queue in which the task will not be polled until it's likely available, rather than blindly trying on repeat.
