You might want to try par-baking and freezing, instead of just freezing the cooked loaves. At the peak of my sourdough-ratholing last year, I scaled up my recipe size so that I was making four loaves (batards weighing in at around 650-700 g

OTOH the human can deal with a bunch of requests that probably will never be coded into the robot's interface. Automated systems often have a frustrating lack of flexibility.

You mentioned nautical miles. Originally, the nautical mile was defined as 1/60th of a degree of longitude (aka one minute) along the surface of the sea, and so it is a pretty natural unit from a navigational standpoint. It has since b

Perhaps you could add a “fit ease” row to your scoring? Masks with head straps could have a check and others could have a ? or something.

Yes, and I think that both your example of expansion and the milder `log.debug("Added {} records. Build: ${buildId}")` (in which the logging infra evaluates "${buildId}") are bad, and mis-features in a logging infrastruc

Gotcha. The difference is important, since a good log framework won't simply delegate, but will first check that the log level is enabled. This often matters, if there are any log statements in high-cardinality loops, since the memory

Yes — simple pattern expansion is pretty handy. For example: log.debug(“Added {} records”, added.size()); In this example, the cost of string concatenation / interpolation can be avoided when debug-level logging isn’t enabled,

The sense I get is that the original React model has some pretty significant complexities, especially around shouldRender and prop / state analysis, and hooks present a big improvement on that. I don’t think that the class-vs-function

But the Westphalian system explicitly emphasizes the importance of the boundaries of the state vs the size of those boundaries. The HN usage tends to imply that “nation state” is something particularly impressive. But “an attack by a San Ma

Well, perhaps the original poster was using it accurately. In my experience, the common HN usage really translates to “country with a big military budget”, which is not at all what the term means. Neither the US nor Russia are nation states

Time to be “that guy”… “Nation state” is a well-defined term in the political sciences, and we misuse it here on HN all the time. To quote Wikipedia: “A nation state is a political unit where the state and nation are congruent. It is a more

It’d be interesting to add a config that disables the cruft for interactive terminals. I wonder if that could be a pathway towards deprecation.
