The precision cooker, which does bluetooth, or first gen? I have the bluetooth precision cooker. The scroll wheel is starting to get a little flaky but i'm still happy. Mostly the joule would be nice for saving a bit more real estate i

Anova beat them to the market by years though, but I'd get the Joule today probably if I had a choice.

Surely this is a false equivalency.

That's effectively a partition, not data loss. It is good to be rack-aware though for data placement to still be available in the case of rack loss.

agents are not employees. They are just people at stores. Source: I worked at customer service at a grocery store and had to do that. There was (at the time, ~2006), no official training. The most I ever wired was about $12k to Africa for a

CS research, for the most part, is a fractional cost compared to basic physics research, materials research, chemistry, etc... mostly due to the capital costs associated with setting up proper labs. The majority of science research, especia

This also covers the design of the Be File System, for those who don't know.

Part of that is because there was only physics and math degrees up to around the 60s. There wasn't really EE or CS, and even when there was, most the professors were originally trained as physicists.

Ironically, i've been in two buildings where this happens and it's always during summer. I either go outside or go to the bathroom and wash my hands in hot water every hour or two for a reset.

I halfway wrote a short story in my head on this about five years ago. The science gist of it was this: DARPA funded a project based on the ultimate goal of being able to regenerate limbs, treat PTSD, etc... Comcast got a hold of it, Comca

For the most part, there's also very little geographic separation between the poorer parts and the richer parts, unless you end up east of Tramway or north of Paseo. This does tend to mean a bit more property crime, but for the most pa

One good thing that could potentially come out of it is a divorce of the Office of Science from the DOE, and closer ties with the NSF and Universities (Department of Research+Office of User Facilities?), but I'm sure UC/Bechtel wo

ha, nice call out to the DeWitt clause instead of just saying DBMS X.

That has nothing to do with what the labs are or are not doing and everything to do with gridlock in D.C.

Us at the DOE are freaking out about the questionnaire Trump sent out, hinting at 10% off-the-bat cuts (to all accounts other than 050, aka Defense), ARPA-E dissolution, political retribution to anyone related to climate science, Rick Perry

A possible fix for that is to hire a writing service that rewrites all feedback.

The jobs management interface. This is more like SLURM, Torque, LSF, etc...

By chance, have you tried https://gc3-uzh-ch.github.io/elasticluster/ ? Also, have you looked at Airflow? Not comparing them, just curious.

They've been building cloud a while (acquisitions of Nebula and other teams), but probably with an anemic team.

I know we've talked on here about Cooking Issues before, but the Pepin Chicken method + Dave Arnold is why I got a Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker, just because I knew I could buy cheap whole chickens, do whatever I want with the parts, thr

They were effectively "Free" in 2003, about 3%, IIRC. In fact, my (subsidized) loans from 2003-2005 currently have interest rates below 2% due to on time payments and auto withdraw.

Theres no way to iterate all your memories, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. My guess is that I have about ~50 before the age of 3, 150 before the age of 4

I have quite a few memories before 4, going back to 2 years of age, more than I can remember. I will say that one thing that is a little different for me was that we moved every year until I was 7 so that had helped me place things and mayb
