My mother (and thus me because I learned to cook from her) always used clarified butter (butterschmalz, or ghee if you source it from Indian stores). Once learning about the history of seed oils I am quite happy I stuck to this.

It's not a consumer's job to validate whether the license model of a company is sustainable for the company. IMHO courts should force the vendor to honor the contracts or as a compromise refund the money payed initially when peopl

I wouldn't jump ship to a Go project, but I am currently in the situation you fled from. Even the core team who started the project doesn't have command of the language. I have some experience with rust and Haskell (hobby) and JVM

snappy and responsive is not what comes to my mind when thinking about JetBrains products. I do think they have really good products, just a little ... slow.

Yes, and our societies when talking about sex differences in the brain usually assume male brains to be normal, and female brains to be different or in some way deficient.

Let's say you perform a maximum-likelihood estimate, you still have an assumption baked in, that maximizing the likelihood given the data is the right way to make your estimate. In fact, it's very interesting to reconstruct a Baye

IMHO make is not a great target for code generation. I.e. cmake should probably compile to something like ninja (the way meson does, actually I haven't checked if cmake could potentially compile to ninja). Cmake is a weird tool, it&#x2

Wolfsburg ist 200km away from Berlin. Cologne has Ford, Hesse has Opel and continental, although the center of gravity is in the south, it's not like the industry doesn't have a certain spread throughout the country.

Berlin is about 230 km (140 miles) away from Wolfsburg, where Volkswagen is located. Pretty sure there is infrastructure and are suppliers nearby.

My first job out of university was in a company that developed a GUI appication based on the Win32 C API. In fact, the product has been on the market for so long, that it's code had been a Win16 application in the past and pre-dated Wi

One code base I inherited at a job had a unit test suit with no assert statements. No one verified that the tests would fail with a faulty implementation. It's the same kind of error. In the lab no one verified that detector would be a

Not only that. They give them a paper trail that they made safety-focused decisions. That especially applies to administrators.

Iirc it was kind of like a templating language first. Imagine writing a cgi-bin c application and becoming tired of writing out HTML with printf statements.

In my childhood in the 90ies, we had a toast-hawaii night at home like once a month. My parents and my sister ate it, I stuck to toast with grilled cheese and ham as I didn't like pineapple (and still today I am not a fan)

There is a lot of mysticism over the origin of Pizza. In fact, it's probably a very straightforward kind of dish that probably has been invented multiple times, of course with varying toppings and maybe a few other differing ideals. Ba

This mandate only applies to business use. I.e. if you advertise for, or label products, you must only use "Marmelade" for the strange british thing. I don't think I have ever heard the word Konfitüre spoken in daily-life, ot

Here I think you are asked to directly wire transfer the penalty amount or you can challenge the ticket, then you will be heard as a witness for who drove the car. If you refuse to tell that or don't know, the judge can order you to ke

Yeah, this is one of the reasons why Racket doesn't call itself PLT Scheme anymore. Scheme has procedures `set-car!` `set-cdr!` that allow you to mutate the content and the address register of a pair. Scheme has pioneered or picked up

yeah, I'd say its quite simple. there is "Functional programming", and it is an umbrella term. Then there is "purely functional programming" and it's kind of better defined than it's hypernym. For purely f

This is certainly true if you are used to clojure. But interestingly enough, idiomatic common lisp code can be roughly play in the same field as Python in terms of "purity". Also, lot's of scheme code is almost imperative in
