I thought you were wrong so I went googling and someone did the experiment and you are correct. Option 2, adding the milk later, cools fastest: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/get-naked/experiments/whe...

The graph on that page explains it much better than any of the text explanations can.

Re:Ask HN: Should I remove work experience from resume? on Sunday July 07, 2024 @05:44PM (#40900678)
This site: https://www.topresume.com/

Will show you how an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) will view your resume, including how much management experience it thinks you have. It can take a few hours to get a response, but it's the only site I've found with a free ATS evaluation.

I've also been using these sites to find issues with my resume and they provide instant responses:

https://app.tealhq.com/home - 15 free AI generated achievements and a lot of the feedback is only available if you pay, but it still highlights where the issues are.

https://resumeworded.com/ - limit of 6 free uploads, and 2 credits with their Magic Write AI

Meta have emailed saying they have a "legal basis called legitimate interests for using your information to develop and improve AI"

They provide a link to a form to object to this processing where you can provide answers to the following two questions:

Please tell us how this processing impacts you. (Required)

Please provide any additional information that could help us review your objection. (Optional)

On what grounds can I object?

and even if we have government 1 now, we could always have government 2 after the next election
It depends on the quality of the meetings. My last job I hated them for all the reasons you said. My current job they are enjoyable and productive. That's because the agenda is a "living" document that anyone can edit during the week, and the meetings stop when we've nothing left to discuss or need to get back to work

A way to make a few bucks for your side projects might be to do polls/surveys and get paid via Paypal or Amazon vouchers:

I just use a bash alias for striping colors:

Thank you for introducing me to babushka style "Check - Set - Check" methodology. I assume you meant this:

Sounds like what I see when I press my fingers (gently) onto my closed eyelids. I think it's the different layers of the visual cortex trying to find edges/patterns in something that doesn't have any.

Does that mean it might get more performant? On my mobile the time it takes seems to scale with the number of posts on the page, not the number of posts it actually collapses
This is a poisoned pill for Biden. If he goes along with it, it will sevearly harm relations with China; if he walks it back he looks weak on China.

The undeveloped world or the pigs?

Sounds like they took the wrong message from seeing that it wasn't being used as much as they were hoping. Are there any other video hosting sites with a better subtitling experience? This might be an opportunity for them.
Re:Stack Overflow gets series E funding for $85M on Wednesday July 29, 2020 @01:38AM (#23983792)
wow, it looks like the answer rate is going down significantly. It looks like it slipped a bit in 2014/2015 but there's a big decrease in 2019 around the time of the Monica Cellio incident.

There's a "Use <MY_MOBILE_NETWORK> billing" option in the Google Play App's Payment Method settings on my Android phone. I'm in the UK. (I haven't used it so I don't know how it works)

That makes sense and is a valid reason to allow removing 2FA without having your (lost) 2FA. However there's still the fact that there was no notification that it was removed.

I'm surprised that page makes no reference to Overton Window which is also relevant:

Smoke bombs or similar in the clean rooms would probably be a good start
