sorry, there was concentration, but there was no amplification.

>I draw a line on advertising for myself

the typical phrase in English, "I draw the line at advertising for myself" would mean that is the thing that has gone too far, something you will not accept. you used a slightly different phrase, but it is still where I draw the line.

excerpt:

"French bakers will use straight flour in their bread making; North Americans and British generally don’t.

"Straight flour is separated by sifting in other grades. The straight flour is passed along a roller over different sieves. Different grades fall through the appropriate sieve along the roller. In the percentages given below, the lower the percentage of straight flour that falls through a particular grading sieve, the more desirable the flour."

it is guaranteed in Scheme, and it affects the semantics of programs in a completely positive way.

Much of computer science is "pure" and "abstract" like mathematics. However, programmers are still taught to use loops to calculate factorial rather than recursion in order to avoid stack overflow. In Scheme you can use recursion without flinching. That is a semantic difference.

not to mention the other devil in these studies: some professions are statistically going to have the lowest rate of every possible disease. you can't just cherrypick outliers and declare "causal!"

interesting, because if you want a steak medium rare in France you order it "au point", "at the point"

>Cooking even an excellent steak is actually not that hard. In fact, I'd argue that it's among the easiest things to master... and knowing about reverse searing is about all it takes

but discovery (or rediscovery?) of reverse searing was just a few short years ago.

"not spreading infection between patients is easy, just wash your hands" was a huge discovery, not an "oh, everybody knows that"

The seacoast smells like rotten fish all the time, it's called low tide. The most vibrant sea biomes are shallow coastal waters. The capacity of the North Atlantic, rich with oxygen, to handle fish parts is basically limitless. Hell, you can probably sell this stuff to lobster- and shellfish- men. The quantity here is one whale carcass (yes, that's a mammal, but you get the idea) and whale carcasses happen all the time.

Dump it in the Bay of Fundy, one tide will get rid of all of it. Worrying about the environmental impact of dead fish is like worrying that dumping manure on a field will leave it fallow.

What you are really smelling here is a govt funding boondoggle.

according to the article, he alleges Apple was doing something "without required customer releases"; there's at least the implication that a regulation is being broken, do you know something extra about this?

they always tell you who they really are: look up les jacobins in the French revolution.
