Ironically, this is the only article about musk/twitter on the front-page for me.
Re:Food waste responsible for 10% of global emissions? on Friday April 09, 2021 @08:46AM (#26749825)
This depends on how the meat is frozen. Frozen meat can be more fresh in texture than chilled meat when flash frozen and dethawed immediately before use. The process of slowly freezing food alters the chemical structure, while flash freezing maintains this structure and subsequently the mouth feel and flavor of fresh meat/produce.
Re:Apple Researching a Matte Black Finish for MacBooks on Friday December 04, 2020 @07:18PM (#25310188)
Can anyone shed light into what makes this difficult? I'd love a matte black mac, but I can't imagine this research is more than A/B testing.
The only schools with religious ed are religious schools. Do you think this would be a general fix?

I always thought those "factoids" were silly. There's a massive bandwidth difference between a few clicks and instant recollection.

I'd assume in any situation where a swat team is necessary, 5 minutes of triage would drastically decrease effectiveness.

Is that book still relevant? It says it was written in 1998.

Nah, you'd need to emulate the depth and lighting of a real window before anyone would mistake a screen as reality.

thats a very subjective way at looking at it.

In what way is Aphex Twin's project better?
Re:An opinionated guide to Haskell on Sunday February 11, 2018 @05:28AM (#16352091)
I'd have to agree with you. Having read the entirety of LYAH as an introduction to Haskell and functional programming, I felt introduced to a-lot of functional concepts and Haskell syntax. That's unfortunately it. With the absence of practice problems, nothing really stuck, and I'm nowhere near prepared to create a project myself.

Overall, it's not a waste of time, but I'm sure there are more stimulating Haskell books out there that'll better lead you to think in a functional way.
