You're right, I should have said equivalently :D

For a little while, yes. Ice has middling thermal conductivity, it'll eventually homogenously warm to the melting point.

The ice actually comes up to the temperature of the water while it's melting. That's what the equilibrium temperature is: the temperature of the entire ice / water system until it's been converted to all liquid or all so

Delicious, of course! And yes, the other commenter is correct. LNO2 works so well because it freezes the ice cream so fast that the crystals don't have time to grow very large, which produces a nice and smooth texture in the final prod

OP author here. Yes, though you have to be careful. If you add too much alcohol you'll prevent your mixture from properly freezing. David Leibowitz, author of "The Perfect Scoop" recommends no more than 45ml of 80 proof liquo

Author here. Hah, that's true, but I didn't want to mention it as it's not entirely in the aim of the essay :)

I've always figured you could just do an auction. Say you have 500 tickets. You give everyone who wants to go 48 hours to submit how much they're willing to pay for a ticket. At the end of the time period the 500 people whose bids

You're really going to write an entire diatribe about how the image quality of new lenses is aesthetically inferior to old lenses and not include a single example comparison??

Wait, is this an official MS utility? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/ Why aren't these just bundled by default??

This is why I switched off of hard mode, after trying it a few times. For me while it was technically harder, it lost some strategic depth and the games became a lot less interesting.

Do you have a link to this? Every search query I try produces results for the character Monica from Friends. Seems like exceptionally poor SEO, heh.

I was a Lego obsessed kid through the 90s and 00s, and now I have a school age son who is similarly devoted to it. Lego today is waaaayyy cooler than it was when I was a kid. I got the very first Lego Star Wars set, Lukes X-Wing [1], and wh

Weirdly (to me, at least) private school teachers make substantially less than public. The ones I know say it's worth it to be free of the onerous beauracracy that plagues public education.

Beg your politicians to support open borders, so that the individuals who live in these countries have the freedom to leave them.

Of course, they're almost always very qualitative discussions. If you have a track record of discussing improvement points, hopefully both you and your manager will be able to agree that any metrics that might appear during year end re

I agree with this. I think it's also important to regularly check it with your manager and ask about how your performance is being perceived and if there is anything they could suggest that you improve upon. Keep the feedback loop tigh

I have often wondered: if Brexit and the 2016 presidential election had gone differently, would we still have this panic surrounding social media? To me, a lot of it feels like people can't believe that a thinking human would ever vote

More like the managers make promises they don't understand.

Technical debt is not just limited to programming, either. Consider the cabling in a data center: It's very easy to create a new connection by dragging a cable down the aisle from one device to the other. But do this over and over and

Has anyone compiled a list of all the everyday things that used belong only to the fabulously wealthy? Ice cream remains my favorite example.
