would you be interested in Quicknode.com? I'm looking for someone on the RPC platform team (we write the middleware).

Zig seems to have more closely aligned with what Go devs prefer.

I'm not trying to build a solid-state battery...

AI finding vulnerabilities in open source software is going to make it super unpleasant for a time. I expect there to be a shift back to closed source until we get through that period.

Yes, different feed, cow breeds, etc are all going to influence taste. You also need to identify the path that the low-pasteurization milk goes through to see if it has anything that will adjust the taste. My father's professor was able to control the variables such that it was the same milk, no contaminates, etc.

There is no taste difference between raw and pasteurized milk. The taste comes from the container. If you have both in glass, there is no discernible difference. My father is a dairy farmer and bet his professor (many years ago) that he could taste the difference. The professor setup a blind taste test where he gave my father pasteurized and raw milk in glass cups. There was no difference.

"Nutritional value" is a very ambiguous. It's only in what you measured. Raw milk advocates are going to value things like bacteria and if proteins were changed. Pasteurization by definition is going to kill the bacteria and change the protein structure. The main benefit for pasteurization is that it makes milk a commodity. You can have unsanitary farms with high bacteria counts that don't make people sick. This is both good and bad. Good because it means more milk available with less disease. Bad because our bodies are complex and some bacteria is healthy.

My recommendation is that if someone wants to consume raw milk, they should have a personal relationship with the dairy.

M5 is almost 2x the single core performance of the M1 Max. You would notice that things are faster.

DevOps is dead because it's run by a bunch of ops people who don't know how to do dev and a bunch of dev people who don't know how to do ops. The only tooling problem is that a bunch of companies created "DevOps tools" that then get dictated to use: K8s, terraform, etc. The only way this works is if you build the application to fit within those frameworks. Writing an indexer that is massively parallel and is mainly constrained by CPU/Memory. Instead, you have devs building something that gets thrown over the fence to a devops team that then containerizes it and throw it on K8s. What happens if the application requires lots of IOPS or network bandwidth? K8s doesn't schedule applications that way. "Oh you can customize the scheduler to take that into account". 2 years later, it's still not "customized" because they are ops people who don't know how to code. If you do customize it, the API is going to change in a few months which will break when you upgrade.

They are attributing malice/greed to what is more likely just incompetence compounded by inflation. The employees most likely haven't updated the pricing on the shelves. If you have ever been in a DG or DT, you can see that the inventory is generally a mess and just put everywhere. There is one or two people up at the front. They don't have as many people stocking shelves as a grocery store to keep the inventory in order.

This is the most common myths about homeschooling. In reality, the kids at public school sit at a desk most of the time. They don't get to socialize. Most activities are structured. Homeschoolers have CO-OPs, field trips, weekly PE visits, real interactions with adults, and actual free time. They are the most socialized kids in the US. The diversity in the homeschool relationships is quite large which you can see when a homeschooler has discussions with adults while their public school peers just quietly talk amongst themselves.

"Keeper of the Ashes" is my favorite of the pictures. Found the photographer is selling prints here: https://www.maximelegarevezina.com/en/tirage-gardien-des-cen...

It's amazing that you can just see something that you like and then order it.

They are most tired of investing in R&D in the open and then having some company do a patent in their country. The company then sues them for infringement.

Two main mistakes that people make: 1. "scoop and dump" approach to flour. Flour should be spooned into the measuring cup so its not packed in. 2. over-baking cookies due to cooking too long or oven that is too hot or not hot enough.

It is Reth based. Solana is a completely different implementation.

Junie from Jetbrains was recently released. Not sure what LLM is uses.

Gaetz was in the house. He only needed to convince his district to vote for him (1/28).

Only parts are uninsurable. If a house was built after 2005, it was done with updated hurricane codes. Most are built up higher, have hip roofs, and have their roofs strapped down to cinderblock walls with cement filled in the corners. All new roofs have a "sealed deck". The uninsurable are going to be on the coast (although you can mitigate this in a lot of cases) and low areas.

Side note: all insurance claims are subsidization.

Lidar is only on Pro.

You can get always get starlink if the fiber/cable is bad.

A quick google search can quickly find how the legal community has viewed chevron as zombie precedent... Zombie Chevron: A Celebration [https://moritzlaw.osu.edu/sites/default/files/2022-01/10.Sun...] Gorsuch Says "Chevron Doctrine" is Dead Even Though the US Supreme Court Refuses to Say So [https://www.afslaw.com/perspectives/environmental-law-adviso...]

Chevron has been zombie precedent for years. Do you really want the interpretation of administrative law changing every four years? This is just another example of the Supreme Court telling Congress to do their job which is where the political focus should be. If you want PFAS to be cleaned up, then get your congressperson to pass a law to have the executive branch do it. It is going to be much more effective in the long run.

I interviewed a number of people for a few positions and I never told them that I detected them using ChatGPT. We structured our interviews in 2 parts. The first one was finding a bug. First clue if they were using AI was that they would solve it instantly. Second part was to write something related to our work that had definitive start/end. If they were using AI, they often were able to get something out, but they had no foundation to reason about it and modify it. They would quickly become lost. We always said that they could use whatever "helps" as long as they showed what they were doing on screen. For some reason, only one person openly showed that they were using AI, but that was only because they couldn't figure out how to turn it off in the UI. We didn't disqualify anyone for using AI, we disqualified them because of their dishonesty. If you can't trust someone in an interview, how can you trust them in a remote environment?

Our local grocery store (Publix) sells them for $9/bag. They were quite good this year and peeled easily. I think they are sourced from Italy.

The Lion King is an adaptation of Hamlet.

Dota 2 is a complete re-implementation that Valve did independently. Dota is a Warcraft 3 mod. Icefrog was the main persona of someone who balanced the game. Valve was able to bring him over from Dota to work on Dota 2.

Metrics are useful until you use them. If people know the metric, they will game them. Its better to track metrics to see symptoms of what is going on and then "walk the floor" to figure out why.

VW is coming out with the EV. Honda and Toyota are the only minivans worth buying, but good luck finding anything.

The eighth amendment should make the no-fly list illegal.

ZeroMQ/NNG are the transport layer. Cap'n Proto is mostly data serialization.
