The whole deal with food regulation is it's very hard for a consumer to test for toxic substances/purported nutrition etc. It absolutely matters even if you don't notice.

Just a quick personal anecdote for a different perspective: When I wanted to learn Rails as a developer getting into web dev, I read the Rails Tutorial relatively quickly and did the major exercises. I thought it was well worth the time an

I think I agree with your point in general, but it doesn't sound like you played much Quakeworld or Quake 3. Spawn times on all items are on a fixed timer, and a large part of the game dynamic is, when you're behind, knowing when

Are atrocities of war the only things that can be called evil? If so, then clearly nothing Facebook does is evil. However, Facebook does alot of things that by any other definition are evil. They perform questionably ethical experiments on

This can't be done in a single setup on a 3-axis, its not xy-monotonic (there are overhangs). Theoretically you could do it on a 3 axis by manually remounting the piece at different angles, but it would be hundreds if not thousands of

The problem in Vancouver is the house prices are not driven by economic activity in the city itself. Bay area and Manhattan prices are a product of the local economies. Vancouver prices are a product of speculation and wealthy people who li

What do you use for Python debugging? I'm working on a large Python project coming from rails work and my biggest frustration is no equivalent to pry. I find Python debugging incredibly painful by comparison.

IUP is a little quirky and a pain to install, but really nice to work with.

The article doesn't suggest it's Japanese tradition, quite the opposite in fact. He runs his restaurant his own idiosyncratic way--that's the whole point of the article. It doesn't sound like you read it.

I live in Alberta (south of Yukon) and it's the law here that all new vehicles be sold with a block heater. I imagine it's the same there. We don't see -60 usually, but -40 once or twice a year is normal.

Can you explain a little more what you're getting at? I'm not very familiar with hardware and don't know anything about video. The adapter seems like a neat hack, but definitely a workaround for something. I can't really tell if you're defe

This is a really cool idea. One of the first problems you'd probably have to overcome though would be insurance. For pilots there are very strict certifications and strong personal incentives not to crash. With a modern Cnc machine it's ver

I think your horrors would have been abbreviated with less to fall back on. I TAed intro CS in Java for a couple years and the vast majority of fundamental misunderstandings students had were caused by preconceptions and expectations of how

33/36. Found it stressful. I felt like I was picking the desired answer, not reading an actual emotion. An artifact of the test maybe. The expressions read artificial to me--like pictures of actors or models. Not sure what that says.

I have just recently given this up, it's a bad habit I've had for years. I wasn't enjoying my food, or doing good work. If I don't need a break at lunch I haven't been using my _other_ time effectively. Eating alone with just my food and th

The bulk of the data shows that errors due to sleep deprivation are less than those due to context switching to a new doctor. This is the reason for the intense schedules, not sadism. If you're aware of studies that dispute that I'd be inte

This is what really bothers me about it. If it weren't Google, it would be someone else. What we probably have to worry about is that the base level of privacy that is easy to achieve is in freefall. The incentives for any individual organi

Then you're not cut out to be an artist. Being an artist is the same as getting rich--you have to have the fight in you for it. The payoff is just different (usually).

Honest question: Can you give some examples? I'm not familiar with the market and being a Canadian the Kindle isn't an option anyway, but I'm curious as to what nice options are available with a proper e-ink screen.

The problem with boarding planes is that people completely ignore when they're supposed to board and immediately line up as soon as boarding starts. I fly all the time and as soon as boarding starts for the last N rows more than half of the

Keep in mind how much of the cost is people-hours, which would be on the order of 10-20 times more in the United States.
