I do mostly cook in ghee, beef tallow and coconut oil.

If you're ok with refined/seed oils there's plenty more you can use.

I've recently tossed all my coated pans (my favourite were the Anolon, but those too shed) and moved to stainless steel, save for a cast iron and carbon steel pan.

In the journey here the best I could find was a Hestan nanobond pan, which unfortunately laminated and has shown some pits after few months of use. They refunded me but titaniums isn't yet where stainless steel is.

Now I'm using a mix of Demeyere, De Buyer, and Made In.

It takes a bit of time to get used cooking in them without a ton of fat.

Look up Leidenfrost effect on youtube and you'll learn pretty quickly how to use stainless steel and do not let anything stick even fish.

"This buys you nothing. Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive".

They clearly have a product to sell but the article seems balanced and offers a good list of commonly used/proposed techniques that are not quite compliant.

As you alluded, there're more lawful basis than consent, one of most common ones being technical necessity to mitigate abuse.

See for example https://oneacrefund.org/ [0] where they have a revolving loan fund.

OAF lends materials and teachers to farmers to make the more productive, by the end of the program they got productive enough to pay back the loan and OAF can lend the same money to someone else.

It's super capillary, with many boots on grounds and quality problems.

Embedded into this there's a good feedback channel: farmers who don't think are getting a good service stop paying back the loan. This allows OAF to go and audit what's failing there.

Pretty cool thing, I ship plenty of services to my tiny $5/mo vps with it without having to pay for a docker registry.

I didn't think of checking, but I now learnt there's an extension for DuckDB but it's C++ and also embeds the same DLL [0] https://github.com/flozer/duckdb-firebird

Recently I was messing around with parquet files in Python and ended up needing to ship the results on Windows, without a Windows machine to test on.

Shipping Python to end users is half mad already, and doing it on Windows is exactly the kind of thing I don't want to spend my life maintaining.

So I figured I'd rewrite it in Go. But that meant embedding a DLL, and how would I test it? I could spin up a VM, sure. But GitHub Actions already has a Windows environment, and there was my loop: let the agent push to the repo, run tests in GHA, rinse and repeat.

In under an hour it had a full rewrite of my Python, passing every test and producing row-for-row copies of my Parquet output. And it does work on the user machine!

Spotting a loop like that is as satisfying as noticing you can walk your chess opponent into a smothered mate. Truly empowering.

It can only emit SQL and the json spec of the chart.

Since shipping I've reviewed dozens of queries and charts it produces answering the user. I'm yet to catch sonnet off guard.

`pylint . --disable=R0801` will work, `pylint profiling/ --enable=duplicate-code` doesn't seem to exit in a reasonable time. So that's likely hitting some pathological case, possibly accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com material.
