Regardless of the source, bread's crust deteriorates quite a bit in 2 days.

> people passing by you on a multi-lane highway and then promptly slowing down once they have returned to your lane

It happens when they are yielding to someone behind that's going faster than them. It's quite common here in Europe.


Based on my experience this is incorrect.

Cooking to, say, a medium-rare and cutting in right away will spill a lot of juice, whereby cooking to below medium-rare and letting it get to the medium-rare temp will leak hardly anything. It's dead simple to reproduce and obvious in practice.

I am aware of what SeriousEats is, but this particular article is sensationalist and was written for clicks.


> the Meathead folks

Meathead is a singular dude who runs amazingribs.com. Wrote a good book too [1].

The book is great; the writing we're talking about though is multiple people's work (Goldwyn and Greg Blonder).

Bvckup 2 is a fixed-cost perpetual license, not a subscription.

Upgrades are paid for annually, but it's optional.


  So  much  padding

  So  much  wasted  space

  Such  low  

    information  density
Will collect many votes on Dribbble though.


Screens these days are huge and high resolution, and my eyes aren't getting any younger. I'm finding that I like more white space and padding as time goes on.

For normal Thunderbird, I swapped from the more compact options to the most loose/padded options.


Screens are huge, that's why I want to take advantage of it and fit more windows on them, not less. But with how foamy modern apps are, it can be a struggle to have two windows side by side on a 2560px wide 27" screen and not have content cut off that would've been perfectly visible on an 800px screen 20 years ago.


For your eyes you'd better have larger text instead of wasting the same space with floating


I do both.


But the design we're discussing doesn't


There's a lot of padding in the screenshot, but you can also see that any user can reduce it by resizing the sidebar and inbox column.


This wouldn't help with big left padding, nor with the top one


Much padding, such space. Wow.

(Couldn't resist...)

Not possible to nest and possible to run down out of stack memory quickly. That said, C3 has a `@stack_mem(1024; Allocator mem) { ... }` which allows to allocate a part of the stack and use that as an allocator with fallback.


The title is wrong. It should've been

  PHP, a Real Programming Tool.
That's it. That's the story.


It’s certainly useful, but without looking, what is the difference between these two methods in the standard library:

array_sort

sortArray

Even if you can answer that off the top of your head, consider how ridiculous it is that you needed to memorize that at some point. This is not the only example of such a thing a PHP dev needed to remember to be effective, either.

Any programming language can be wielded in a simple way. Perl, for example, is superior to PHP in every way that is important to me.

Go is as well, even though it’s slightly more verbose than PHP for the authors imagebin tool.

We don’t do things simply because we’ve all been taught that complexity is cool and that using new tools is better than using old tools and so on.

My employer creates pods in Kubernetes to run command line programs on a fixed schedule that could (FAR MORE SIMPLY) run in a cronjob on a utility server somewhere. And that cronjob could email us all when there is a problem. But instead I have to remember to regularly open a bookmark to an opensearch host with a stupidly complex 75-character hostname somewhere, find the index for the pod, search through all the logs for errors, and if I find any, I need to the dig further to get any useful contextual information about the failure … or I could simply read an email that cron automatically delivered directly to my inbox. We stumble over ourselves to shove more things like that into kubernetes every day, and it drives me nuts. This entire industry has lost its goddamned mind.


>This entire industry has lost its goddamned mind.

Yep, stay-with-the-fad pressures mean people need to farm experience using those fads.

It won't change until the industry is okay with slowing down


This industry is STILL growing so fast that there is no negative selection pressure to weed out bad ideas. There’s no punishment at all for doing things in stupid or inefficient ways. There is only reward for completing the project.

I like doing things properly and almost no one else at my enormous employer does. Certainly no one on my team does, and it is extremely stressful. I feel like I am talking to a wall when I talk to my team members. No one understands. No one wants to.

Firefox on Windows.


Firefox on Windows happens to be my main browser and one of the first things I already verified to work, so you'll have to be more specific!


Sorry for the late reply. It's Firefox 115.16.


Thanks. Uncommon but I would prefer if it worked :D

I'm guessing your version of FF behaves similarly to Webkit as described here: https://github.com/pac-dev/AmbientGarden/blob/master/Web/ver...

If you want to help test this hypothesis, you can go to "about:config", search for "general.useragent.override", and set it to the string "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/537.36", then check if the website works correctly (probably clear the custom setting afterwards). thanks again


I appreciate the follow-up, thanks a bunch.

Bingo. Overriding the user agent resolved the issue.


Change of the Iran regime would help lessening the risk of a prolonged war.

From what can be glanced from the news seeping through it seems that the population has been largely ready for it for a while now.


What is this commentary? We literally just attacked them. We punched them in the face. We're doing the war. Not them.


You must be trolling. In case you are not - the US attacked their nuclear research facilities. This is as far removed from attacking "them", as Iranian people, as it gets.


So if China strategically bombed some US weapons research facilities, that would be just fine and normal?


You're the one who must be trolling. If China bombed American nuclear research facilities, I can't imagine many Americans would agree it's "not an attack on the American people".


??? WTF are you on. If Iran bombs US research facilities it's okay? I don't understand at all.


Because of course no Iranian people work at those bombed sites.


If Al Qaeda had just managed to fly planes into the Pentagon, would we somehow have decided "oh that's not really an attack on us?"


I think you meant to say:

Change of the US regime would help lessening the risk of a prolonged war.

From what can be glanced from the news seeping through it seems that the population has been largely ready for it for a while now.


It's still almost an even split in the US - https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-sil...


We changed the regime in both Afghanistan and Iraq. That worked great at preventing a prolonged war.

This "oh the Iranians actually want to be bombed" stuff is absolutely nonsense.
