Assuming `samwcurry@gmail.com` belongs to the same person who owns samcurry.net, they changed their own password.

Great! My wife was reading me ticket prices for an event on Ticketmaster yesterday, I kept telling her she needs to add them to the cart and start checkout to know the real price. She did just that and to my surprise the price didn't c

I don't have SS cookware, but cast iron is basically non-stick. A teaspoon of oil isn't going to break the bank.

Food-safe wood conditioner (or just beeswax, or coconut oil, etc.) is basically free, and you should be taking care of everything wooden in the kitchen on a semi-regular basis. If your wooden cookware is degrading, I'd be more worried

If your cooking utensils are gouging or pulling up 'seasoning', it's not 'seasoning'. Seasoning is a micrometer-thin layer of polymerized oil. What you're describing is carbon build-up from a poorly cleaned pan

Tangential, but anyone interested in literature should read "The Sagas of the Icelanders" if they have not already. The early Norse and Icelandic sagas are a treasure trove of great stories. I think about them nearly every day and

Seriously, why is it so hard to find a protein powder that doesn't include Stevia (or its distilled, chemical name). I don't care about my protein powder being sweet, but if it's gonna be sweet, give me some raw sugar. Stevia

You'd have to use the volume of earth, not the mass. Google tells me that lava is ~3x denser than water.

You can similarly use materialized views for this type of denormalization. When an update to the source tables occur you can trigger a view refresh.

Truly, 100B nodes needs some sort of aggregation to have a chance at being useful. On a side project I've worked with normalizing >300GB semi-structured datasets that I could load up into dataframe libraries, I can't imagine wo

I'd be real curious to see their ROI calculations on this strategic move. Laying off those 1800 employees will cost them $260 million, before factoring in hiring costs for 1800 highly technical replacements. Salaries for experienced SW

In the Boise market, Intuit is laying off 157 employees and announced the closure of their campus due to Boise not being a strategic location for AI R&D. This comes after Intuit bought the Boise-local time-tracking software company, TSh

It would have been awesome if that ISBN issue were an actual ISBN re-use issue. I've run into issues coupling my system's design to the assumption that ISBNs uniquely identify a single edition of a single book. The intent of ISBNs

This is a good chance to ask something I've wondered for a while, why isn't cellophane more commonly used as an alternative to plastic film? Is it coatings on cellophane that make it just as bad as plastic? Or does the environment

There are a lot of GIS / mapping software that shows property ownership and their boundaries, useful for hunting. onX, for example, and I think you can purchase 'ownership layers' on stuff like Avenza. I agree with what you&#

I've always hated this saying, and I think the reason applies here too. If you take up running and it never gets easier, that means you're never managing your pace and you're always going full throttle. That's a straight
