Sear without oil. The steak itself should have enough fat (if it doesn’t your cut of steak might have too little marbling). Also searing for 2 minutes produces very little oil. Run your range hood fan. The reverse sear technique produces li

Yes, should have clarified that. Sear in a pan, not airfryer.

If you want to get it rare with moisture retained with an air fryer, see above, decrease the time, and use parchment paper.

The other great thing about an air fryer is that it allows for experimentation on timing. You can easily open the door and check the doneness of the food, and if it's not quite there, add time. With an oven, you lose heat (or heat up t

An air fryer is actually one of the best ways to make steak if you don't follow the prescribed recipe in the link, but if you reverse sear (a reliable and well-known technique, usually done with an oven, which an air fryer is). If yo

This looks amazing! The style is MI3, but with updated the art and music. I'm not getting the reference to Booze though, wouldn't it be the "Grog of Monkey Island"?

If I recall correctly, the symbolic toolbox data structures were not first-class citizens in the MATLAB world (where the fundamental data structure was the matrix). I used the Symbolic Toolbox in grad school to try to simplify equation syst

You're correct. The engines are actually quite orthogonal (symbolic vs numerical). There's the rare cross-over, but for the most part they are used to obtain different types of solution. Mathematica can do both, but it's much

I live in the biggest one in PNW and it still feels super small. A friend who moved here from SF (a relatively small city itself) and was surprised how small Seattle feels, even in comparison to SF -- he was wondering where 3 quarters of ci

I mean to each their own. The PNW is good for certain types of people: those who love nature, are less urban, who are more introverted, less interested in high culture. I’ve also lived in many parts of the country and Canada, and the PNW ha

The autogenerated voice is Amazon Polly which is an old AWS speech synthesis service which doesn’t use the latest technology. It’s irrelevant to the article, which is about Nova.

Grits are good. Congee is rice porridge. It’s good. I expect goodness and all these deliver. No need to explicitly set expectations, unless one is completely uninitiated.

They are verbose but correct. I've caught some errors this way. I usually don't think of None as a potential return value (= voids in C) but the LSP code analysis usually picks up on code paths that don't return a value. I do

Oh I know you’re trying to be sarcastic but Université Catholique de Louvain has been branded UCLouvain since 2018 and its old acronym never had international traction.

UCL is a widely known acronym, like MIT. It’s not as famous as MIT but still known to anyone in academia and most in the anglosphere.

As a former Chicagoan I also enjoy Malört. To my unstudied palate, it is the bitter cousin to Jaegermeister. It’s a bit more complex and more of a mature drink compared to Jaegers.

You may not touch the brake pedal but the brake pads are still being used to make a complete stop (this is how regen braking systems work, at low speeds regen is not effective so brake pads are used for the last few feet). You’ll use wear o

Is that right? With torque blending, regen braking is blended with friction braking at low speeds (when regen braking is ineffective). Friction braking is always needed to make a full stop.
