Not really. Farmed salmon and tuna are basically safe, because there are FDA controls around how they have to be frozen before they can be sold, which ensures that parasites die. Other fish are basically down to your risk tolerance. There&#

I own a pretty old car, so haven't got the bells and whistles. But I've just rented a new model Camry for the last 3 weeks, and here's my takeaways: Android Auto is much better than Apple Carplay. Carplay was janky and the na

A CS course isn't programmer occupational training in name only. Practically, there aren't many CS research jobs and working as a programmer is more often than not the career path for someone with a CS degree. Universities can cho

I couldn't quickly figure out what sort of applications this person writes for a living. But for 95% of applications I can think of: whatever, you do you. Lots of people have pointed out flaws in his arguments here. There are always at

I mean, that's literally what RAW files from cameras are, and there are uses for them. I don't know if a multi pass CD rip is quite as useful as a RAW image, but your analogy is not as strong as you think it is.

There's high end and then there's high end. I don't know this roaster well, but I can take a stab at how this works, based on roasters local to me. The absolute biggest and best roasters have relationships and locked-in suppl

I've been a little underwhelmed by some of the creative writing that ChatGPT generates. I think the safety features are a little too strong, and I found it hard to get it to generate stories that didn't have incredibly saccharine

This just feels like another entry in a long list of supposed proofs of who Satoshi is, which is missing detail (almost certainly by design) and which could have many other plausible explanations. The most obvious of which is that a private

Please add functionality so that you can show some sort of badge on your GitHub profile based on your use of this. It would be a great tool to sort out who actually understands the purpose of a commit message.

Sorry, but 'searching google' for recipes is a surefire way to cook mediocre food. Most recipes on Google are optimized for convenience over quality. Even if that's what you want, it's a lot more useful to build a stable

Yes, kinda. Other comments about camera makers being pathologically incapable of making good software are mostly true, Fuji just seems like the best of a bad bunch. My X100V is awesome. But there are definitely rough edges, particularly aro

Sounds like the only way you could ensure a healthy environment in this field would be to follow the Matlab or the Wolfram model. In other words, create a software company whose customers are bioinformaticians. Maybe find a bioinformatics a

Two things stuck out to me as not very good arguments in this article. One seemed to be that different moderation standards make a coherent experience impossible. I think this is a fundamental difference of the fediverse. There is no one ex

Time and time again, Musk has shown that he does not understand the nuances of free speech and moderation, and has presented nothing to indicate that he has any new solutions to the problems he is claiming to want to solve. You're appl

Huh, maybe that explains why living in Australia, I don't understand the hate for QR code menus. Basically everywhere that has a QR code menu over here these days also lets you order and pay via the same QR code.

Every supposed puzzle in here boils down to the same answer: the dependency can be rephrased as a dependency on an interface. Sometimes the interface is just hidden or a bit abstract.

Set some timeframe you'd like to buy a house in, x months. For small enough x, you can choose some constant rate of houses coming on to the market per month y. xy is your finite number of options. The question then becomes: how much do

At a small org, what is the advantage of Kubernetes over the vendor provided application runners i.e. AWS AppRunner or Google's App Engine?

Fast, good, cheap. Pick two. Applies to everything. Let's break down this specific context (food and drink), because I think it's interesting. Good generally refers to quality (quality of the beans, quality of the machine, skill o

Sure, the mitigation isn't perfect. But I think the wider point is that as usual, the Australian government have implemented a shit scheme, full of obvious and rookie mistakes, when they should have just used a well known open standard

The irony for me is that the NHL is an excellent example of why piracy happens. Last hockey season, I could pay the NHL directly to get access to all hockey games from Australia. They have a Google TV app that was flawed, but worked well en

Thanks for sharing. I'd seen snippets of things out of GitLab, but in particular their section on remote work is a treasure trove of great ideas and practices.

Don't you need to also trust all of the other nodes on the network to come to consensus?

I won't presume your qualifications, but I'll just state my opinion: the people who are qualified to perform benefit risk assessments are the people writing papers saying that the benefit risk assessment is favourable. You might b

You're more likely to develop myocarditis from COVID than from the vaccine. So if you're more worried about heart problems than COVID, it still makes sense to get vaccinated. Pretend it's a vaccine against heart problems, and
