I keep my eyes open for old pans, but I was busy filling my kitchen with smoke with my modern cheap lodge pan while I wrote the previous comment and it works very well for me.

The theory is that flaxseed oil (also known as linseed oil) is a polymerizing oil, which is supposed to help with the quality of the surface. Other polymerizing oils (eg Tung oil) aren't food safe. I notice from the table that unrefine

Sure! The simplest is a loop that increments a counter if the least significant bit is 1 and right shifts the word by 1 each iteration. Bonus points for early termination One weird trick is to consider (w & (w - 1)) which unsets the low

I used to use "implement popcount" as an interview question (for c programmers), I'm not super convinced that it was a good question, although it definitely tells you quite quickly how comfortable a candidate is with bit mani

Blackout curtains definitely help here in Seattle, I grew up in the UK where it's even worse. The other thing that helps is consistency and bedtime rituals, that being said I'm glad that as school starts the nights are already not

For me the absence of coverage, or low coverage, is a useful piece of information. It's not the whole story but it is a smell, and it should be taken into consideration with the other smells/signals Conversely perfect or high cove

We currently aim for 7.30 on a school night but might need to push it a little earlier, it depends on how well I manage to get her to school in the morning. I work on the basis that younger children do better with about 10-11 hours sleep

Indeed, and I remember those years too right now I have to get a kiddo to school by 7.50am, so we get up at 6.30 and she goes to bed at 7.30. TFA is talking about carving out 4 hours a morning of "me time". It's hard to do t

I'm struck by a couple of things, Getting up at 4.30am seems excessive and presumably requires going to bed at 8-9pm I can't imagine doing this with a child

Albrecht Durer gave detailed instructions on how to construct the upper case letters (or at least those needed to write Latin) using compass and ruler. A while back I made a coffeescript version of that http://pollrobots.github.i

Median income in 2017 was $52k for men and $42k for women [1] Median income for an RN in 2017 was $70k [2] So, in the US it's fair to say that nurse is a moderately well paid job. Of course compared to west coast tech salaries that doe

But the US gallon has never been used in the UK, and there is a temporal continuity of usage in mpg, people like to compare across time, a discontinuity would be weird

My data in the UK is nearly 20 years out of date, but historically most American car manufacturers that sold cars in the UK made market specific models. Ford is a great example of this. Even if you sell the same model, you are already makin

I worked on a project where we did the research and it came back saying "meh", or "no", or "only if it had this impossible feature". Our management just discounted the research, "we asked the wrong populat

I actually prefer the process of going in to get the shot/infusion, not because I can't do it myself (it's a minor thing, but I find it easier to self administer injected medication than have someone else do it), but because

Part of the problem is that insurance has typically mandated which specialty pharmacy, and the two different ones I've used have had almost identical behavior. It's nothing overt, but the pattern seems so consistent and the end re

This happens across the board. I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The barriers to getting a prescription for an effective (and expensive) biologic medication can be crazy. When I've been forced to use a "specialty pharmacy&

Yeah, this is a good analysis, there are a handful of companies where performance savings in critical services will cross those thresholds, but for everyone else it's simply theoretical. Unfortunately there are a lot of those "eve

Agreed. A good point that people often miss. We also are often in constant pursuit of the next feature, so don't have the luxury of the kinds of polishing or optimization that might get some of those real performance gains. I was a big

by pacaro 7y ago
Indeed, there are many factors to consider here. In a sense that is what makes discussions like this interesting! I suspect that in some respects that we already optimize for this as an industry, we might have application logic in python, b

by pacaro 7y ago
Similar logic applies server side too. If your backend is inefficient then you may well be consuming orders of magnitude more power per query. While I take these numbers with more than a pinch of salt, I've seen comparisons that sugges

Hmm, if you're using a peg parser that doesn't directly support this you can emulate it by choosing between the rhs of the cut and a production that will always match so expr : atom (op <cut> expr)* Would be replaced
449.
by pacaro 7y ago
I haven't used it for that, but I have used it to absorb errors and continue. The error just gets placed into the AST and then a later phase can report on (potentially) many errors, rather than just stopping at the first. YMMV

by pacaro 7y ago
Drothlis comment describes it well, but to perhaps explain where the term comes from, Prolog has a related concept and calls it the cut operator
