The point is that if you have to say it's made with real cheese, the food is complete junk. Even though the cheese may technically be real.

I suspect it's this part:

"This ticket was priced in GBP, not INR. Because the journey originated in Manchester, the fare is denominated in the currency of the origin country: the United Kingdom."

So: the currency is the one for the country of origin.

I've been reading No Mud, No Lotus recently (https://www.parallax.org/product/no-mud-no-lotus/) by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and this is very much the same advice.

This book has brought me immense joy, I'd recommend it to anyone.

It's fascinating how much Buddhism has gotten "right".

I certainly agree with your take on Buddhism, but I often find that sage advice is buried amongst spiritual waffle in Buddhist books.

But that's what religion is, wisdom and nonsense mixed together by people who didn't yet have the benefit of the great filter to separate the wisdom from the nonsense: science.

The sheer number of annoying twats who tell me that The Book of I Ching holds great secrets has defnitely helped obscure any great secrets it contains.

Thank you, I'll pick it up based on your recommendation alone.

This article is about ACT which borrows these techniques from the ancient stoics, but there is a lot of similarities between stoicism and buddhism, zen especially.

From the post:

"Having been able to attend these events by hoarding airline miles and schmoozing certain cybersecurity vendors, Gal Nagli, Sam Curry, and I thought it would be fun to try and hack some of the different supporting websites for the Formula 1 events."

I know you're being facetious but I wanted to say, a friend of mine's kid recently got diagnosed with elevated lead levels in his blood, likely caused by eating contaminated dirt from their backyard. So... test before you try it, I guess?

My kids love to play in sand, and one time I found my kid playing with "rocks" in the sand before realizing it was a favorite shitting ground for the neighborhood cats

lead in the soil? where do they live, a slag heap?

Lead used to be in paint and gasoline, so the top soil of entire cities were adulterated with lead in the last century.

As far as I know you only get a ticket if you're actually parked there when the sweeper comes by. There's a parking cop car following the sweeper and ticketing the cars. You're allowed to re-park in the street after the sweeper has done its job, even if it's still technically street sweeping time.

So if you've got a ticket, there almost certainly was a sweeper that came by at that time.

Pretty sure it varies depending on where you live. iirc When I was in SF the tickets would get distributed ahead of time and the sweeper would follow within an hour or so. Once the sweeper went by you were free to re-park.

In Oakland, there are different vehicles that come by for different purposes. As I understand it there’s an agitator, sprayer, and sweeper. You have to know when the whole process is complete, so I understand it’s easier just to avoid for the whole window.

They’ve started looping back after the sweeper passes and enforcing the full two hour window.

Since when? Where did you get this information from?

The parking enforcement happens before the street sweeper comes. There’s usually four or five of them and they’re several blocks ahead of the sweeper. They’ll all stop and wait 20 minutes for the sweeper to catch up and refill water at the hydrant before continuing on.

You could. The fix is easy. The problem was the painfully long debugging in order to find the root cause of the issue.

I understand and aprechiate the writeup, I just don't see why the conclusion is to delay the release until the detour bug is fixed, when it's easy to work around it once it has been understood?

I suspect that the fix to the detour bug will be unevenly distributed as well, so avoiding it would help user experience regardless.

Until microsoft ships the .arm.exe name in the list. pretty much a ticking time bomb.

Microsoft has done a lot of bad releases since they eliminated engineering in test, but it seems a little bit above and beyond to expect them to specifically add an arm executable to a list of executables to patch with x86(64) code and then not confirm that it does what it's supposed to do.

The current situation is derpy, but understandable. The patching system was ported with the rest of the arm stuff, and the executable for arm matches the name list so it makes sense to do the patch, but nobody ported the patch data. Whoops.

Y'know it would be nice if stuff would log it somewhere when it applies patches like this.

Not necessarily. Youtube makes extensive use of third-party CDNs. A lot of the videos aren't coming from their servers at all. I believe that's also why it's so hard for them to embed the ad directly in the video. They instead having to rely on splicing the ads client-side, which makes it possible to block.

Disclaimer: I work at Google but not at Youtube and have no idea how things work really. This is just based on some info I read online.

Yeah they give caching boxes to ISPs as far as I can tell, and videos are served from there if they exist in that cache. About 8-10 years ago, they had an issue with that and they'd serve you the wrong video because your neighbor had watched something and it was in the cache. Literally title of the video wouldn't match what is playing.

And these caching boxes can't talk back to Google?

I'm a big fan of Everything (and recently donated to the developer). I tried this Google app and was pleased to see that it seems just as fast as Everything for local file search. Presumably they use the same underlying mechanism for searching files (something about hooking into the NTFS index). I might give it a shot.

(disclaimer: I work at Google, but nothing related to this app)
