In fact the Vietnamese fish sauces (which are made without adding any sugar or soy, and only made with anchovies and salt) are exactly like the garum and liquamen of ancient Rome.

You can buy garum today, from manufacturers that claim to follow recipes hundreds of years old. The process is claimed to be unknown, but this is in fact not true: A couple of descriptions exist of the process, for example how it was made i

I quit Instagram for a couple of months or so, and came back last week, and now I'm shown one ad every 2-3 posts, no exceptions. It was so overbearing that I started counting, and I did not get a single stretch of more than three posts

I'm self-taught, but the thing about being self-taught is that I enjoy learning. Not like whatever some random person says "I enjoy learning" in a job interview, but actually enjoy it such that I've taught myself profici

It's too bad anything Apple manufactures is effectively taken completely off the market unless you are interested in buying the thing packaged inside of extremely expensive form factor.

I think he means the "supplemental material" CDs that many textbooks come with these days, which are just a fancy way of forcing the user to use the website, which of course requires a subscription fee and the surrender of persona

Ah, but that's the trick of the modern price: It does not ever go down. This isn't grandpa's hardware store. These are scientists working to extract as much money as possible from their "customers" in an industry wh

At least for me, I find that textbooks are more accessible when they are textbooks, instead of heavily-DRMed software hidden behind a subscription paywall and wholesale information rape.

This is why I'm bearish on Kubernetes for most organizations. Not because it doesn't work great, but because its complexity is so high. I have this adage about not solving problems you don't have, but it's the same conce

Yes, you're totally right, and I am totally wrong. I was thinking about my Emotiv headsets and not the Muse!

by fapjacks 7y ago
Oh jeez what the hell, you're right. I was thinking about Emotiv! Well it'd be nice if I could unfuck this situation, as I also got a Muse through Indiegogo and even though I gave it to a friend some years ago, it did what it said

I've always found it really "interesting" how much resistance the industry shows to hiring part time and/or remote, the two changes in hiring which would really ease their supposed labor issue. I refuse to believe the do

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, because the quality has 100% tanked over the last few years. I agree that there may be some selection bias between us, but it's at least got some of my normie non-technical friends c

No, don't buy anything from Muse. Those devices are awful and the firm works (worked?) hard to reduce visibility on the problems for example in their developer forums, instead of working to address the problems. I owned multiple devi

Any chance you've written about specifically trying to foresee and prevent a split (Rusty? Rusted?) ecosystem? As an armchair PL, amateur SIGPLAN kind of person, I would be very interested to hear about your experiences. I couldn'

I wanted to hate this, because it seems like it's trying really hard to be nerd-hip. But dammit this is cool, and there is going to be some really cool executable ASCII art made with it. I swear, though, if I see one single talk by som

That's an idealistic way to look at it, considering the backdrop of human behavior.

I feel for you and I wish you the best. I am on the way back up after a burnout some time ago and this isn't my first burnout, stupidly. I should have known better after a couple decades in the industry, but I really thought I could ha

I think this is something intrinsic to animals. Working dogs are the same way: After some x amount of time, the dog is done working for the day. It doesn't matter what you do, the dog is done working. It's just something about wor

The other thing to think about is that with self-hosted applications -- of which I am a big proponent -- typically any extra hours of maintenance work are usually going to hit when you least expect and/or want them to, id est during so

But the photos on the webpage very clearly show that having a Pi-Top 4 makes you cool. And being cool is pretty useful.

Right! This sort of "ugly hack lore" more generally is why it's extremely difficult for third-party word processing applications to handle old Microsoft Word .doc files, and in fact is why Microsoft put so much effort into ba

My experience with AMD's supply problem is across more than just their embedded product line, but the supply problem is worst for me in their embedded product line. I'm sorry, I appear to have had some sort of mind frame shift rec

I am wholly convinced that the reason terrible young shitbags (like myself) can join the army and end up doing very well is because the army does what seemingly no one else does, which is treating them like adults by giving them pretty huge
