For a family that eats a lot of bread it's certainly a functional option, but the bread that comes out of it is pretty bland texture wise.

And they require an immense amount of skill to make, which means you can only find really good bread in communities where a baker artisan can run a sustainable business. In the age of home grocery delivery, it's an uphill battle. The n

I thought electricity was something I could rely on having in my house unless a major catastrophic event happened, in which case I'd have more to worry about than just electricity. For the past year or so, my electricity goes out at le

Emulation is a fascinating topic on many dimensions. One that I find particularly interesting is that it seems like more primitive systems are exponentially more "sharable" than small ones - I can fit a NES emulator with the entir

A reminder that our industry is very young still, and many who laid its foundations are still with us today, but won’t be forever. There is no better time than now for collecting oral history, interviewing people, asking them about their st

I’m not sure what sort of accounting tricks you are doing. 40% of gross income becomes 77% of net income given 48% of deductions. 48% of deductions for a grad student making $25k a year would also be insane.

I’m not sure how you budget, and whatever works for you works for you, but 77% of the money that hits your bank account every month going to housing when you’re a grad student is insanity, not “a little higher than sustainable levels”. Espe

And more students running your labs/substituting you for teaching/etc. means more time to do non-teaching stuff, which is a net positive for most professors. How sad was I to realize that I was the only one in my PhD program who h

Current US tuition is a scam driven by an exploitative loan industry. Giving tuition waivers to grad students is something universities do precisely because it lets them say "no but really when you consider your total compensation it&#

Most music applications have a feature called “MIDI Learn”, where you basically click any parameter, turn a knob or push a button on your controller, and it binds that input to the parameter. It’s amazing and allows for the creation of comp

I wonder if you could build a (admittedly thick) coin with some sensing/actuation going on in order to make it land on an arbitrary side.

Good luck procuring them at any sort of scale right now. If you are in a position to do this (because you own a mask factory or you found 20 pallets of face masks in your garage or something) you probably didn’t wait for an HN comment telli

I think you’re overthinking it. The first definition in the Oxford Dictionary for “actually” equates it with “really”, a substitution which works fine here. 1. as the truth or facts of a situation; really. "we must pay attention to wh

It’s a specialist’s market. Want to sell an FPS? Good luck getting noticed. Want to make games that only cater to chess players who are also into LISP programming? With a bit of work you can totally carve a niche for yourself.

No. Reaching the top of the knowledge pyramid in your subfield over time has remained constant (typically in your early to mid 20s, as you complete your PhD). We have more sub fields, but that’s not particularly a problem - once you’re an e

This quote is often used as a dog whistle by far right groups. In their definition, “weak” is caring about others, providing services to citizens like healthcare and education etc. “Strong” is then the Trumpian ideal of a successful self ma
