steventhedev,

Condensed milk whipped into the butter. I was legit surprised how close the taste was.

Honestly, the dried strawberries were hella expensive. I’m planning on doing a syrup next time. I’m thinking something like a small box of strawberries reduced and then through a blender, and drop some of the condensed milk to compensate for the extra liquid.

steventhedev,

Around 20% of the kids asked for seconds, so not as popular as a plain chocolate box cake with chocolate ganache frosting, but I’m proud of it.

I’m honestly excited to try out different flavors for the frosting.

steventhedev,

Thank you!

steventhedev,

Best of luck! You can do it!

steventhedev,

I worked with mosh for years to connect to servers on other continents. It was impossible to work otherwise. It only has two small warts: forwarding, and jump hosts.

The second is fixable/ish with an overlay network, but that isn’t always an option if you don’t control the network. I tried to solve this with socat but wasn’t able to configure it correctly - something about the socket reuse flag was very unhappy.

steventhedev,

TCP was never designed with wifi in mind. TCP retransmission was only ever meant to handle drops due to congestion, not lossy links.

Tmux is a wonderful complement to mosh. Together you get persistence even when your local client loses power (speaking from experience)

steventhedev,

TCP Selective Ack is very much a thing, but it does take extra memory so lots of TCP stacks exclude it or disable it by default.

Whatever you do, make sure that you learn legally and avoid those horrible sites that steal the hard work of researchers and prevent publishers from properly incentivizing academic research by allowing just anyone to download research for free. You know, horrible sites like LibGen, SciHub, or Anna’s archive.

Totally disgusting sites that you should definitely avoid.

steventhedev,

I forgot about that one, thank you!

steventhedev,

Honestly - if it’s a specific article, then just email the author. Unless they’re a blowhard they’ll usually be happy to shoot off a copy of the final PDF or at least a preprint. Doubly so if you’re a grad student and say how excited you are about their research.

steventhedev,

But surely the journals provide some sort of service for the researchers, right? Like paying for experts to review their scientific claims, or fact checking their citations, or even basic grammatical proofreading, right? If the journals are earning so much from research, then conducting academic research must be a lucrative field with so many publishers competing to be the first ones to publish a paper.

steventhedev,

I was being sarcastic. Many journals don’t provide any of those services. Some journals even charge researchers for the “prestige” of publishing a paper. Peer review is mostly unpaid work, and some reviewers act as gatekeepers.

steventhedev,

You clearly haven’t watched your forklift safety video. Warning: blood starts a few minutes in.

steventhedev,

Large companies that serve a ton of content. CDNs, image hosts, Google, Facebook, etc. 1% of their traffic adds up to a lot.

Also people in limited bandwidth situations - satellite links, Antarctica, developing countries, airplanes, etc.

Finally, embedded systems. The esp32 for example has 520kb of ram.

steventhedev,

Performance Improvement Plan. Basically HR collecting evidence so you can’t sue after they fire you.
