You should report this to somewhere like 404 media

Popcorn + spoon is the way. Clean hands plus high throughput.

If you have some really flavorful dried mushrooms, save the water you used for rehydration. Makes a great soup stock.

Rehydrated or fresh, I think most people undercook their mushrooms. Even bland supermarlet cremini/portobello is greatly improved by pan frying until it gets slightly crispy and seared.

I do that for data I want to persist, but which I don’t care about backing up (eg caches)

Without any context of when these substitutions are acceptable, this graphic doesn’t seem very useful. Fucking agar vs applesauce is not 1:1

One downside of the method is that each molecular message can only be read once, since decoding the polymers involves degrading them.

New DRM just dropped. Imagine pouring rented movies into your TV like laundry detergent.

Sounds like the perfect reason to have different words. Who would want to type that out every time? I’m sure someone could spend several paragraphs describing the difference between fur and hair, or stucco vs plaster.

If you don’t care about the difference between two words, then those words probably weren’t invented for you. Someone else who works with that nuance on a daily basis probably really likes that they can sum things up briefly.

I feel like the plot undercut the otherwise cool metaphor that the gorge represented.

East and West, separated by nothing but their deepest fears. Two killers searching for human connection but unable to reach the nearest person. How fucking cool is that? You can do so much!

Then you find out that there isn’t really any East/West divide, they’re both working for the same bad guys. Traversal of the gorge plays like a joke instead of being a serious moment of character development. Then the ending is a bunch of run-shoot-explode.

Thinking back on being a beginner, my problem wasn’t that instructions were imprecise, but more that I didn’t interpret “to taste” as a real instruction. It means I should fucking taste my food as I go, when at the time I would just taste it at the end.

So many bad meals can be avoided by sampling them over time and adjusting. I should know, having made too many.

I would classify this as an example of cooking logic (my own phrase) that needs to be learned. A lot of good recipes will assume the cook understands fundamental concepts like this, but it’s not necessarily the recipe’s job to teach you. Same as how IKEA assembly instructions might seem cryptic at first, but really boil down to using 3-4 different techniques to screw wood panels together. I do think there’s a general lack of awareness that cooking has a separate logic, and this means a lot of people never teach it to others.

every single time I’ve gotten past the first round I am rejected for someone who was recommended internally/someone with job experience

Sounds like unfortunate timing. Unfortunately, there’s no way to know how far along in the hiring process other people might be, so sometimes you’re interviewing for a job that’s right about to be filled by someone else. My only advice on that side would be to make sure to be responsive to recruiters and try and get your interviews scheduled quickly.

Getting to first-round interviews is a good sign, especially with so much of the interview process being sloppified by AI tools. Your resume is catching eyes and someone thinks you’re worth talking to. Give yourself some credit then: you’ve set yourself up for success. The beginner career market is always going to have tough competition, so getting your resume on the desk of a real human is very important.

My only other advice would be to focus on getting past those first interviews, and that might require you to examine your shortcomings on that stage. Are you failing the coding challenge? Find opportunities to practice and improve. Are you failing technical questions? There are github repos with common interview questions (eg “Tell me the difference between private and protected keywords in C++”). If you’re failing while talking about your technical/school experience, find some time to refine your thoughts and practice selling your strengths.

The more times you get past introductory interviews, the more chances you have to be the first candidate who “checks all the boxes”. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

I’m not going to say “Don’t learn gentoo next” but if you’re already well versed in Nix or setting up a base arch install, I feel like the only thing Gentoo will teach is “How long does it really take to compile Firefox from source?”

Breakfast: Coffee and toast

Lunch: Toasted sandwich or reheated dinner leftovers

Dinner: Something home-cooked

As someone who usually prefers a hot meal over a cold one, that’s my standard fare. It’s not a crazy effort.

Summary:

Street = Has businesses, houses, shops and sidewalks. Designed for humans.

Road = Higher speed limit than streets, generally no businesses or sidewalks, as it’s just there to connect areas. Designed for cars.

Stroad = A connection between areas that also has businesses. You have higher speed limits, minimal sidewalks and it’s dangerous/impossible to cross on foot. The only way to get around to different businesses along a stroad is by car.

The server code could also be released as a binary blob under a proprietary license. No different from distributing any other piece of software.

They aren’t the cheapest, but I really like using GripStics to reseal bags. As long as the bag is not made of a very thick material, you can get an airtight seal (Eg, good for plastic-y foiled bags, not so good for a bag of flour made out of paper). There’s no mechanical movement at all, so they’ll never break.

Are you able to independently confirm that the domaincheck container is listening to the right port? Eg netstat -tunlp on the host

Every time my GF Nicole joins a new instance, I make an account on there too. She’s a bit of a fediverse chick.

I understand what you’re saying, but his experiment allowed the embryos to come to term and be born as human babies. Scientists have worked with human embryos before and avoided similar outcry by not allowing them to develop further (scientific outcry, not religious). Calling his work an experiment on human embryos ignores the fact that he always intended for his work to impact the real lives of real humans who would be born.

There definitely are FOSS projects run by the US government: Ghidra is an open source reverse engineering tool developed by the NSA.

I switched from that container to one that uses qbittorrent and a VPN.

qBittorrent web UI works better on a phone for my use case, and I kept having to manually restart the transmission container whenever the VPN connection dropped.
