Yeah that is basically what I meant, but I should've said refrigerated and not frozen. It is still a far cry from what I would call a bakery.

Don't they just heat up frozen/pre-made bread? I don't know...just I don't think they have enough room to be a real bakery. Also, corporate financials would have centralized that a long time ago.

There are still a few regions that are fully vertically integrated and fully regulated with no market prices. However, much of the US is under a regional ISO that sets hourly day ahead prices and 5-minute nodal spot prices. Under an ISO the

I'm sure they're correct about a lot of airline water being nasty - no argument there, but the organization/website sounds like it has a mission that is probably at least partly pseudoscience adjacent: "Mission Center Fo

Magnatiles are great for adults who want to play with their kids too. The most fun my kid had was playing make believe games with me. Like I'd say "you're lost in a forest and you see a cabin up ahead and a trail that goes pa

Possibly an unintended consequence. Those abound in our governing systems as you're rightfully complaining about. On the other hand, competition is good for consumers and letting Microsoft and Amazon use unfair tactics to crush the com

Of course. My comment was just describing a very common view in the southern United States. Not all Protestants believe that (especially Anglicans which are basically Catholic without the Pope), but it's something I heard a lot growing

Bahaha. I was looking for the Warhammer 40k comment. For those that don't know, the writers of Warhammer basically copied off of history and many other IP like Dune. In Warhammer, there was also a Council of Nicaea where it was discuss

A lot of evangelical christians (like the predominant factions in the southern US) are very suspicious of Catholicism and many don't view it as true Christianity.

This reminds me of streudal: https://strudel.cc/ https://larkob.github.io/strudel/tutorial/ I've seen some cool demos on YouTube from SwitchAngel.

All that is shown here: https://8th-dev.com/ As for the manual's omission, I'm guessing it's a typo. I want to say it used to be there, but haven't looked in a long time.

The Windows 95-XP taskbar is good. Everything else has been downhill.

I think this is one of those things that can be situationally useful, but also come with huge risks to the majority of users.

I think you're exaggerating a little, but aren't entirely wrong. The Internet has completely changed daily life for most of humanity. AI can mean a lot of things, but a lot of it is blown way out of proportion. I find LLMs useful

My limited understanding (please take with a big grain of salt) is that they 1.) sell mainframes, 2.) sell mainframe compute time, 3.) sell mainframe support contracts, 4.) sell Red hat and Redhat support contracts, and 5.) buy out a lot of

They come up with tons and tons of products like Google Glass and Google+ and so on and immediately abandon them. It is easy to see that there is no real vision. They make money off AdSense and their cloud services. That's about it.

LLMs are useful tools, but certainly have big limitations. I think we'll continue to see anything be automated that can be automated in a way that reduces head count. So you have the dumb AI as a first line of defense and lay off half

I've had this discussion here on HN several times over the years. Lots of comments from others have pointed out similar experiences. I'm guessing your experience was more positive and that's great to hear. I did point out tha

It might not be a problem for you, but it has been for many. I did start by reading through 3 Clojure books. The repl and the basic stuff like using lists is all easy of course, but the tooling was pretty poor compared to what I was used to

I tried to get into Clojure, but a lot of the JVM hosted languages require some Java experience. Same thing with Scala and Kotlin or F# on .NET. The early tooling was also pretty dependent on Vim or Emacs. Maybe it's all easier now wit

Perfect solution for doing analysis on tables. Wes McKinney (inventor of pandas is rumored to have been inspired by it too). My problem with APL is 1.) the syntax is less amazing at other more mundane stuff, and 2.) the only production wort

The Windows 95 left tile was basically perfect. A lot of Linux distros have something similar. It allows you to quickly survey the useful programs. There is no further perfection. A close second in my book was the PlayStation 3 User Interfa

You're correct in a sense, but glossing over a very real problem. You still need some kind of knowledge of how to use a desktop computer for a lot of jobs in the workforce. If all you know is how to click on some apps, then you're

Everyone is growing up with tablets now and have awful tech skills. The only kids I know who can use a desktop computer are those who game. Where this goes long-term I'm not sure. Do we get a really simplified OS in the next 10 years t

Not sure why you're being down voted. I'm sure there are some folks homeschooling because of things like racism, but that has always existed just like evangelical christians have always been big into homeschooling. If there is a b

They always do....that's partly how private equity works. Example, buy out a well-known software product with a lot of customers. Then offshore development to cut costs. Then raise prices to milk customers that are too slow to migrate.

Ice skating varies. The skates for someone into it range from $500-$1500. Those typically last several years unless you're skating like 4 hours a day and doing tons of jumps. It costs $20 to sharpen skates and that needs to happen ever

Instead of a Swiss army knife, I always heard it referred to as a "swiss army chainsaw" lol.
