I started arguing about some of these in my head before noticing the labels.

This is only really true if there will never be a need to really learn the code base — which maybe will be true for most devs, it’s hard to tell. But if not it could leave the majority of juniors with a much shallower understanding of the way things work under the hood.

“The Gobbler” is a post-Thanksgiving tradition in my family. Get out the ancient, heavy panini press that is probably 80 years old (I could do a core sample of the accumulated grease and count the rings I guess). As you might assume it contains all of the thanksgiving leftovers. This year my sandwich had a bigass brioche bun between which was crammed:

• turkey
• stuffing
• cranberry sauce
• green beans
• sweet potatoes
• swiss and Gouda cheeses
• chipotle mayo

Add a little butter on the outside and gingerly apply pressure so it doesn’t come apart. After a few minutes you have a several-inch-thick slab of deliciousness.

I should have taken a photo because it was a thing of beauty. Maybe next year.

If I/O speed is important the challenge will be getting lots of nvme slots in a small form factor. Many atx motherboards have bifurcated pci-e slots that can be converted to manage 2 nvme drives at once (in addition to on-board nvme slots) but I don’t know if matx boards do that, so if you wanted 3+ drives that would be the first thing to consider. If you just want a bunch of sata ssds there are more options, but all considerably slower.

It’s like click-edging.

Those things are dinosaurs.

Damn. TIL.

It’s just a small under-counter system that’s only running to the fridge and a separate spigot at the sink to fill pots with, etc. it was simple to install since my existing tap had enough pressure to push through all of the filters. I’ve never heard of whole-house RO, I think that would use a TON of water and you would definitely need a pump (in addition to a large storage tank).

I discovered this when I put a reverse osmosis system in and wanted to bypass the filter. I needed a $50 plastic plug with an RFID tag in it or else the fridge refused to dispense.

Won’t the corn-growers be ticked off by this?

Airlines. When JetBlue was new they were genuinely enjoyable to fly. After a few years they realized they only needed to be the least worst option, and now they suck like everyone else.

Or if in FL, it’s simply not a thing we’re allowed to track.

If it’s any consolation, at least a kilo of coffee is many more servings than a kilo of beef.

I’m in the US (and in FL no less so it’s routinely 30-38C/80-100F). I moved to my specific house, among other reasons, because it’s about 250M/a quarter mile from a grocery store. I walk there 2x/week and carry back on average about 10kg/20-25 lbs of groceries. Lots of others in my neighborhood do the same, but most of Florida is not built for walking which is incredibly disappointing.

Trouble is, this will work on most people.

My brain is like having 100 apps and tabs open and my brain constantly hitting alt-tab some random number of times.

Meh.

For anyone who checks the comments I have a question unrelated to the content - when you see an article like this that you know has incorrect information, do you tend to upvote (to give visibility to the corrected info in the comments) or downvote it (because it’s incorrect in the first place)?

About 15 years ago my kid was given a picture book called The Curious Garden about a little boy who practices guerilla gardening in NYC which eventually grows (via community action) into to the High Line Garden.

Ever since then I’ve tried to keep packets of native wildflowers on me. There are a lot of semi-overgrown and underutilized areas where I live, and I can think of a few spots now that have regular outbreaks of wildflowers because I happened to be passing by one day.
