Most of the time that I cook rice, I also need to cook something to go with it. So after I turn on the rice, I then start preparing for the rest of the meal or just tidying up the kitchen a bit. Usually by the time the rice boils, I’m still

100%. The proper measuring of ingredients and timing is all that's required. Take a look at the first line of the article: Cooking rice on a stovetop can be fraught. Add too much water and you end up with porridge. Then take a

FWIW I had googled whether hostnames may be entirely digits before asking this, and this SO answer suggested yes. Perhaps that doesn’t apply to URLs? But to be clear I meant hostname not a FQDN, because obviously there is no ambiguity once

What would :443/thing.jpg mean? Is that a port or hostname?

That would be one proposal - give 1 hour to 100 different groups. What you don’t do is sum the 10000 different requests, nor the 100 requests that also want to use 100 hours each.

But you don’t sum up all the other things for opportunity cost, you take the single max value. In other words, the opportunity cost doesn’t care about how many other people were waiting, it cares only about how much useful results the best

Marketable version numbers are quite useful. If somebody says they are running 10.12.3, the first thing I do is check which version I am running to see how that compares. On the other hand, if somebody says they are running iOS 12.1.2, I im

It's only an iteration on cargo pants if they started from cargo pants. If they started from dress pants, then it's an iteration on dress pants. The fact that it might be only a few steps away from cargo pants is irrelevant - it&

Yeah I don’t really understand downvoting on HN. If I see a grey post that looks well written and making reasonable arguments, I like to upvote. If people want to disagree they should reply rather than downvote. Edit: I don’t mean all down

Does anybody actually look at other users points on a regular basis? I think it’s rare which is why it’s not really relevant. Besides, it’s not even a measure of popularity but more of a lifetime scoreboard. If HN reported something like av

The money used to pay income taxes also was the consumer's money originally. It's really all the same thing.

I don’t necessarily agree with your conclusion, but I do think it’s important to emphasize that Apple is collecting VAT across the EU and paying large quantities of money to all EU countries as a result. The amount of tax revenue generated

A decade is a time interval, so by that definition a new decade is being started and ended at every single instant of time. The important question is not when a decade has started, but rather to know what time period people are talking abou

I don’t know about other people, but your definition of “theory” doesn’t match mine. To me the word “theory” is almost identical to “hypothesis”, but generally a bit more comprehensive (eg consists of multiple hypothesis). Calling something

It seems like biases related to error rates in image classification systems would be one of the easier problems to address - you basically just need to load in more data until the minimum accuracy level for all peoples is good enough. The h

If your mask got infected while wearing it, then you would have gotten infected had you not been wearing it anyways. So even if your poor hand hygiene renders the mask unhelpful, wearing the mask doesn’t overall increase your risk.

Wearing a mask can’t increase your risk of infection. Unless it blocks 0% of droplets, it can’t possibly have no net improvement. And if they really were that useless, why do we keep getting doctors to wear them? I feel you should be linkin

Would be great to change the default calendar and contacts apps as well. There’s a large list of 3rd-party calendar apps, but the user often gets redirected back to the built-in apps, eg when interacting with invitation emails or notificati

The question as asked in the title is incorrect. It is not important for a matrix to be square. Matrices are defined to solve specific problems, and the specific problem is what determines the geometry, not some goal of having square matric

I don't believe this is totally accurate. I've received an email from an online store sent when an order was shipped, it has an image in it which updates according to the shipping status (and now the image shows as delivered). Eit

A subscription fee closer to 10% starts to look attractive at least for smaller ventures. By dealing with taxes, exchange rates and credit cards, that is a fairly nice set of things to not even need to think about. But the developer APIs&#

One security concern is that the filenames for recursive transfers are determined by the untrusted machine. Thus if you fail to validate those, they could send things like ../.bashrc and a naive tool would write that to your home direc

It turns out that rsync is slower than scp, unless the files are already present. It adds a lot of overhead that’s not needed most of the time. I often need to transfer very large binary files. When stuck with standard Linux tools, the fast

Taxes are paid by the consumer. Ideally developers should price things based on how much revenue they want per transaction, and have the 30% fee shown to the user. If that were the case, there would be nothing unethical about a 30% tax nor

Compared to the mass enslavement of Africans and genocide of indigenous people in the west, this sounds pretty tame. Modern Tibet is certainly flourishing. Perhaps the people who fled were the ones guilty of crimes mentioned in the article?
