I can almost guarantee I'm going to buy it some time. It has impulse buy written all over it for me. (Yes, I own modernist cuisine. I've even used it.)

Making mozzarella was a real 'been there, done that' kinda thing. It's satisfying work, but it consumes so much milk it's not really economically viable and the milk I'm using isn't as good for cheesemaking as

I mean, you can make ricotta and mozzarella at the same time. I also agree, paneer is a great start.

That's a no from me on every point of this argument. I don't really like logging, and I think some ecosystems do it better than others ( nod-cough ), but this article doesn't actually make anyones lives easier. Logging each e

Parser combinators in F# were where I really grasped the utility of a Monad. F# doesn’t have HKT’s, and computational expressions are a little different from Haskell ‘do’. It was the ‘(>>=) = Parser<‘a> -> (‘a -> Parser&lt

Tickets start at £10. It’s not a high value production.

Judging by OP, I’d say I have a pretty good handle on ‘deep rest’. I think it’s more because I’m quite deliberate than because I planned it this way, but it functions well as rest. I have almost total separation of work and personal life. B

This is completely repulsive. I love it.

The issue with GDPR is right to erasure, which is tricky in conventional systems. But in ES systems, naively implemented, it is not possible. If you are writing PII in plain text, an immutable log won't let you remove it. OTOH I have t

So the only good games of diplomacy I’ve had were with other strategy gamers, where there was no pity or misunderstanding - we all wanted to win. The game is naturally self balancing in a sense, weaker players have some utility so they tend

I can't really speak for the tax, but QoL is pretty good in London. Compared to the other cities I've lived in (>9mo in Glasgow, Portsmouth, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton, Austin, Berlin, and Hamburg), the city has everyth

It's relatively low cost, though. Tuition maxes at <£10k/y, usually financed with a reasonable repayment rate (5% earnings over ~£25k, I can't remember for sure), and the option to pay off early if you're willing. Mos

> Doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo made a few attempts to deploy it at US military bases in the 1980s, but were so shambolically unsuccessful that their attacks went unnoticed by authorities. Is a wonderful sentence.

This is my favourite: https://tikolu.net/emojimix/%F0%9F%98%80+%F0%9F%98%B6 That was really fun! I'd like to see all the combinations rendered out as a matrix though.

This is a well known problem in reddit. The self-aware joke is /r/suberbowl, which is commonly mistaken for a football game, when it's really a place for suberb owl pics. I remember /r/crypto having predictable prob

As a relative layperson here, this feels retrospectively obvious, no? Per my shallow understanding (I only read the introduction to the paper), the marker hFwe-Lose is expressed by cells that are struggling, thus close to death. It's

No? LENR is not a particularly active field of research. The most recent noteworthy paper is a well funded, failed, replication. It is a pipedream. There are almost no LENR scientists. I can't see any noteworthy papers for PdNi as a hy

The best solid adsorbed hydrogen is currently running about 5% the density of liquid hydrogen. Most solutions use either graphene or heavy metals too rare to meet mass demand. It's not a promising technology.

As you say, we've been working on solid adsorption for a long time now. Nothing has left the lab. The video presents an optimistic future, but we don't even have the basics yet. Firstly, there is a fundamental issue - H² doesn&#x2

It's generally murky because the tide kicks up a lot of silt, giving it it's brown colour. You'd need a hell of a lot more sewage for that to be the reason it's brown.

I drank an unfortunate amount of the Thames on the Devises-Westminster race a decade or so ago. Somehow didn't get ill, but I think that was luck.

Wild deer are the big issue. There's a small but vocal community pushing for wolf reintroduction, but that has it's own challenges. Scottish land law is extraordinarily complicated and archaic, it remain solely to prevent extincti

Yep, we're hit by that right now. It's not a total outage, we're losing about 10-15% of our calls to bigquery from within cloudfunctions. What we have using a VPC connector is ok. Fortunately areas affected are ancillary (mai

I could definitely YOLO out a change when I worked on code used by 100 people. When it was used by 10000, an error every now and then is forgivable. Now, if I make an error in a deployment I could stop 10,000,000 from using my systems. Simi

Most node 'DI' is done using typescript decorators, which have access to the constructor. If you stick to this, you'll always be injecting implementations, which IMO kinda defeats the point of DI. You should be injecting beha
