Mine was held up by the seizure. I got an email about it, but they were able get it out a month or so later. They were able to work around it, but I don’t recall the details. I think they had a blog post about it.

git-bisect can be incredibly helpful here if you happen to be using git. I’ve only needed to resort to it a few times. It’s not magic but it can help speed things up.
Is walking on a treadmill significantly more or less beneficial than walking in a big circle? Does a constant change in view confer some measurable benefit compared to a static view?
Seems short-sighted. That Twitter hasn’t fallen over appears more like a credit to the SRE work that went into getting everything running on, effectively, autopilot. Today’s Twitter infra is clearly a far cry from the stuff a decade ago.
Definitely agree on the weed. I tried a high THC tincture about two years ago and my tinnitus was practically screaming for a few hours. No fun. Not sure about CBD, not interested in finding out.
I typically rely on keeping background noise going to drown out the tinnitus, but I’ve also found that earplugs can work.
I don’t use them as much, but in my case, yeah, they’ll increase the volume of the tinnitus. In a weird way though, I’ve found that if that’s all you’re hearing then you can kind of get used to it and your mind starts to kind of drown out the noise. You can also meditate and focus on the tinnitus with the same effect, and there too the earplugs can help.
I don’t tend to wear them for more than an hour or two since even the soft ear plugs seem to make my ear ache.
I just got the email about it going from mean to release today. Only a couple chapters in but so far I think it’s a solid addition to my Rust library. Congrats and thanks for writing it!
Any good references for learning how to use a scope and other equipment? I haven’t gotten around to cracking open TAoE [0], but I did pick up the “hands on lab” version [1] which looks promising. Any resources on getting familiar with test equipment would be appreciated.
This book from a parent post looks pretty good:
Understanding Signals with the PropScope from the company Parallax [2] and it looks like there’s a bundled kit on Amazon.
> Research suggests less than 1% of "crypto" usage is for criminal activity.
I’m really curious to know where this statistic is coming from. Spend a day following other sources [0] and you’d be hard-pressed not to come to the same conclusion.
Clearing huge swaths of Brazilian rainforest, “the lungs of the planet”, to make way for cattle seems like a pretty significant contributing factor though, would you agree? Less demand for meat, less demand for eliminating large pieces of a rather important natural carbon sink.
I went vegan for about a year not too long ago. Just thought I’d try it. I ended up really liking it, mainly because it got me a bit more comfortable cooking and trying recipes and ingredients I would never have considered. I’m not vegan anymore, primarily because of a living situation (roomies.) I like meat, but I’m still thrilled to whip up a good quick vegan or vegetarian dish now and then.
However, if you take a meat centered dish and just remove the meat, or throw in a meat-like substitute (beyond burgers more than something like tofu or seitan), then yeah, it’s not going to be great. Vegetarian and vegan recipes are often really good precisely because they don’t attempt replace meat with anything. Instead I think they rely more on spice and flavor combinations.
You’re not going to find a replacement for a killer dry-aged ny strip steak that’s grilled to perfection. But you might find a fantastic curry, kimchi stew, roasted pepper, or black bean burger recipe that help to broaden your tastes and get comfortable eating less meat.
> Also, most of the ocean plastic comes from a small number of rivers in the less developed world. [1] Rich countries aren't really the problem.
I don't have a source for this, so take it for what it's worth, but as I recall rich countries remain a significant part of the problem. TFA mentions it, but, iirc, the US used to ship its plastic waste to China for recycling, but the "single stream" approach to recycling resulted in a contaminated waste stream that was more expensive to handle. So China stopped accepting our recyclable waste. In turn, we started shipping our recyclables to Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries instead. They're happy for the business, but they don't have the infra to handle the amount of waste we're sending, and general mismanagement is widely recognized [0]. As a result US plastic waste intended for "recycling" ends up in dump sites, landfills, etc. in SEA countries and eventially accumulates in rivers, sewers, and eventually the ocean.
I don't disagree with you regarding landfills. There was a post here recently that seemed to lean more towards just throwing plastic away, that way it ends up in a landfill, rather than "recycling" it and having it end up in the ocean by way of the Philippines
“Just works”, unless you’re doing anything remotely technical. I like macOS, I use it daily, but unless you’re popping open a browser and checking email and that’s it, there’s nothing out-of-the box about it. You’re likely going to set aside some time to set it up for actual work.
White wheat flour has a higher glycemic index than table sugar[0]. High GI foods can lead to blood sugar spikes, potentially to ”impaired insulin sensitivity” [1], and a host of related health problems. Diabetes, obesity, etc. In a sense it’s worse than refined white sugar for many, if not most, people. Particularly those living a more sedentary lifestyle.
If you subscribe to the notion that sugar is poison[2][3], then highly refined, processed, wheat flour is also poison.
I've not used Firebase, but seeing as it's not, as far as I can tell, "core" Google (i.e., not related to search or advertising explicitly), I'd be concerned about relying on it in any substantial, business-critical, way.
I’m not a fan of meat substitutes like impossible or beyond, but tofu, seitan, and (occasionally) tempeh are awesome and easy to cook up. I agree with you that a vegan meal generally doesn’t have a centerpiece food item, and that the complexity of flavor more than makes up for it.
The problem with meat substitutes and alternative meat dishes (i.e black bean or beet burgers, or tempeh
“bacon”, etc.) is that no matter what, it’s not going to taste like what you’re expecting. I’m often happier eating vegan recipes that make no attempt to replace meat.
