Yeah. Dry-brined the meat for 1 hour with kosher salt and then washed the steaks right before grilling. Seared both sides for a minute a piece, then cooked rest over low temperature. It was surprisingly good, even to me.

Hosted some guests the other night and made steak. They were amazed by how well it tasted. I took that as a compliment, because they regularly eat luxurious and expensive food (they work high up in the Cruise Line Industry.) Was asked wha

Ah, I see, and take your point. I should have worked on a more reader-friendly version of this graph so I just assume people don't understand its bizarre nature. But, my work had been done many years ago with the investigation. Here&#

Thanks for interpreting that while I slept. Excel's 3D graph feature was just the quickest way to render this, since I was already tired of waiting for data to get reformatted. Believe the original data was just a set of forms, each pr

Sorry, user logicallee explained this better than I did. You're looking at 4-5 graphs put next to each other for comparison. The nearest flatland with the huge towers is the one troubled clinic. Here's an annotated version of tha

Sorry, this wasn't publicly available for download. After arm-wrestling the senior administrators for months and months, a reporter and I literally drove to pick it up and were given a set of DVDs by the State of Maryland health depart

Yeah, participation from any kind of passive teasers or pushed content is a lot lower than you'd think. If we launch a new project and post a teaser about it on our very homepage, it's a coup if we get a 10-15% click rate. Think

Think my niche is programming in news. Something between a programmer, an editor and a reporter. I don't work on the core CMS because we have dedicated teams for that. What I specialize in is all the things the CMS can't do, won&#

Sure, and that's happened. I'm in better shape than I was, and there's more work to be done. My hands are now crazy strong, fingers thick as sausages. But decades of typing and this kind of work aggravated my carpal tunnel an

I can definitely see things your way. We're overdue for some kind of a multiplayer game experiment demo thing to be shared, like that multiplayer orbiting game. Hell, here's my nodejs-powered webgl doodlepad: http://fa

It may not be perfect at this very moment, but it will get more polished as time goes on. It has to. The carrot they're dangling is a free upgrade, so think I might take this gamble. I'm not a penny pincher, but even so I cringe

Spent a few minutes trying to find the one extremely rude email he once wrote to a customer, since he liked to do that from time to time and it stuck in my head. Instead, found this, which gives sufficient documentation that, yeah, he proba

Regarding image-google-chart, and other google APIs: I was going to voice my support for this complaint, as I have a number of still popular projects that use it (and will need fixes or updates), but I had to rethink that. Conclusion: free

They really should. They're as invasive as popups of the late 90s, if not moreso. At least the popups didn't misrepresent the page you were on. The one kind of overlay that really gets me is the "take our survey" type f

This is just my opinion, but I think programmers aren't really special or unique for going from programming to farming or other types of physical jobs. I think that we just talk about it more online (and here in particular) because we

I can't believe this. Microsoft has pulled off what Mojang seemingly didn't, couldn't, or wouldn't. Wonder what direction they'll take server mods to, or if there will be a crossover between client/server bein

Think that part of it is that only one process or thread can run at any given time in node. So, if you have a complicated multiplayer server, subroutines will start getting blocked.

I've been fascinated by this island for the past 10 years now. It was an isolated community where you could study its composition in an entirety of its isolation. The island has charming place-names such as "Ridge where the Goat

This ..... redefines the concept of "ray tracing" as I know it. An interesting proposition. Wonder if you could write a pov-ray module for this.

Seeing this, thought I'd share a prototype of mine. For the minecrafters out there who use worldedit: here's a javascript library prototype that lets you draw minecraft scenes. Demo is a doodling of a skeleton grinder: http:&#x

What I'm insinuating here is that the environment is always more complicated than meets the eye. Granted, project complexity is as disparate as they're randomly different from each other. * Would you bring bricklayers to the desig

I'd have to argue that an architectural drawing is not very detailed. And even if it is, the builder takes plenty of latitude in constructing the building. For example, the way that builders pick nails isn't by accounting for hu

I was- tried it on a private server, as you would, and didn't entirely get its utility at the time. My opinion is that great projects (products?) always have two outstanding versions: the CLI, and the GUI. Problem is that whoever make

Add Lucene (and by its extension, Elastic Search) to that list. In retrospect, I don't know how we did things before some of these projects came out.

There is no better tool than a geologic hammer. MRI machines weigh tons, as rocks do, so there isn't any practical way to do field sampling. The only portable tool available for field work is a ground penetrating radar, and it requires
