The Japanese version can assume some knowledge about the functioning of Japanese business life on the part of the reader which the English article must explain before the actual phenomenon can be explained understandably.
Running both uMatrix, uBlock and quite a few other addons isolating things further, I have enabled ads on DuckDuckGo and have allowed plausible analytics explicitly for all sites. For a browser, the right thing is still very clear: not this.
Taste and spiciness. Yellow mustard seeds are milder and black mustard seeds are spicier. Brown seeds are usually in the middle. Most recipes usually call for specific amounts of each, once you know what you like, you can adjust them.
Mustard is made by adding liquids to mustard seeds or their powder, which activates the chemical reaction in them to make them spicy. How spicy a mustard becomes depends on the temperature and acidity of the liquids, and on how long the reaction is allowed to go on - heating or cooling the mustard significantly will stop it, keeping a mustard cool once it reaches the desired hotness will preserve it at that spiciness level. As it is, I wonder what the ratio of solids to liquid was and if it was a pure mustard (without other spices or additives) since I have never even heard of a semi-solid mustard...
Careful there; you dismissed not only Dijon mustard but also Bavarian sweet mustard, both very traditional mustards.
Considering that even the word mustard comes from old French, it is worth considering that mustards can be created to fit more than just one taste profile.
One local mustard that is extremely popular in my country in certain eateries is yellow mustard seeds mixed with an equal amount of room temperature water, left to sit at room temperature and never refrigerated for example; try at your own risk though.
One aspect of train travel that is particularly interesting in Germany is that ticket prices do NOT include seating.
That is to say, the fact that you bought a ticket does not imply that you can expect to sit during your ride. You have to buy a numbered seating reservation if you want to have a guaranteed seat, which is not necessarily offered for all lines.
So, I've been curious about nextcloud for a good while, does Hetzner keep the version of NextCloud up-to-date? Which functionality is included? I'm also looking at Tab.digital from the Nextcloud hosting partners list and they seem to offer a lot of functionality at the private cloud tier that is roughly the same price as the NX20 tier at Hetzner with less storage. I do not need a lot of storage, but having the ability to make extensive use of Nextcloud integrations would be nice, which is not clear from Hetzner's comparison chart.
The article mentions vaccination, but it also mentions that Israel is going to have to go back to masks and social distancing. It is my understanding that this situation happened partially because they stopped wearing masks...
There was a prior study that mentioned the efficiency of the vaccine alone was somewhere in the 60-65 percent range without masks for the BioNTech vaccine, about a 33% drop in efficiency is nothing to laugh at.
Lunor A5 [1], handmade glasses from Germany. They also have clip-on attachments [2] for a bunch of their other glasses. The classic version was worn by Steve Jobs; having worn the same frame with different lens shape, I can only recommend the brand, it was the most comfortable pair of glasses I used in my life so far (not wearing glasses daily anymore due to reduced myopia & fogging from masks)
Lunor is, as far as I can tell, not part of Luxotica or LVMH.

But Apple also makes money by selling you access to content. By extension, they are motivated to motivate you to buy said content. Having no goodwill left for any of them, I see no reason to assume that they would not resort to other forms of manipulation. In fact, from their own past, we know they are very happy to employ shady tactics as seen in for example the Apple-Google-Intel-Adobe Collusion case, the Batterygate lawsuits, ongoing right of repair cases etc.
HCaptcha is not without problems, it is monetized by selling ML model training to 3rd parties, where the images and the labelling requests come from. Personally, I do not wish to be employed to train ML models of 3rd parties unknown to me. I have no idea about what model I'm helping train and what it is going to be used for. Transparency in this regard would go a long way towards making HCaptcha friendlier (I'm not going to talk about the ethics of free labor this time, though those too ought to be discussed.)
Very beautiful, and yet just the idea of what it must have taken to install the lights, floor strips and related extras to that space is borderline claustrophobic...
A cheap precision scale will accurately measure up to 0.01g precision, with the caveat that most will only measure things weighing less than 100g or 200g. I currently use one like that (0.01g precision, 200g limit) for coffee beans, I was originally looking for a 0.1g precision scale, but there was no price difference.
Although, I fully agree that it is overkill for the kitchen - I have never used it for cooking.
Actually, having read the opt-out method article and knowing the personal data protection law of my country due to professional needs, I can say that what Google is doing is illegal in certain cases here. If Google ends up personal data as defined by law here, which does include present location coupled with name, then that ends up being illegal without a detailed data protection declaration and withdrawable explicit consent granted before ANY data can be collected at all.
Intrusivity is not important, convenience must not be allowed to trump legality though.
Pre-covid, I actually benefitted from Instagram advertising (without personalization) because I got to hear about new restaurants in my area... Considering that I block every other kind of advertising and tracking through rather draconian measures, I cannot compare if something else would have been of benefit though. I'd have done the same for Instagram, but then I found some rather excellent places through it, so...
"We want to provide extra value through premium content and features to help make MDN self-sustaining, on a completely opt-in basis."
But then again, once they have the money, they are free to do what they want with it. Marketing is not binding. It all comes down to this: Do you trust Mozilla?
Speaking from my own experience during my stint as a network admin on a national IRC network 2 decades ago, this fits the psychological profile of certain people I encountered quite well. No intent to sabotage is needed, various things about IRC just bring out the worst in some people, and my guess is that this mostly begins with the channel modes; socially acceptible privilege and power over fellow humans which can be had by networking with the channel owner.
At the network operator level, concurrent user numbers become an issue of pride, total registered user counts, total active accounts likewise...
The more people view the network as a worthy entity for itself instead of just a tool for communication, the worse it gets.
In this whole thing, one thing in particular is interesting to me since freenode was not just an IRC network, but an IRC network with a focus on FOSS projects: Freenode / rasengan seems to insinuate by his actions that a project does not have the right to choose an official realtime communication forum for itself; that it is freenode which brings the users to the project channel instead of the other way around.
It is a very appropriate analogy. You know that historically, you usually did not want to know what went into sausages. Kinda like FLoC, come to think of it...
Just trust your butcher.
The post is not about what you're sending, it is about making sure what you're receiving is what you're getting. The motivation begins with:
"Many of our programs accept input from the user. Often we need to validate this input before continuing processing and, in the case of errors, inform the user of any problems."
My stack is:
Custom domain (current registrar: namecheap)
Fastmail for email, Calendar & Contacts hosting with DAVx5 & Fastmail App on Android,
Netlify for DNS & static website hosting
Switched everything over from Dreamhost after 14 years or so in 2020, and the only thing that would make me happier with Fastmail would be for them to have global holiday calendar syncing (This is the only reason my Fastmail account is linked to a dummy google account - to sync holidays!)
I get to use email aliases, catchalls and a mail system which can automatically file mails before I have manually written a single rule. Off the top of my head, the aliases, the sensible (vim-like) keyboard shortcuts (g for search folders, j-k for navigation, etc.), built-in caldav and carddav support are the things that make life easy on a day by day basis. Notes are about the only thing I don't use, but my encrypted Joplin notes are actually synced to the Files section on Fastmail via WebDAV since Fastmail also offers you decent (At least 10GB if you have a standard plan, which you need for a custom domain) of WebDAV accessible storage along with email...
Visually, the low contrast from downvoting is tiring to the eyes if it's longer than a short sentence or so. As the reader, I do not see why my eyesight should be punished for this purpose. There are some really good decisions in HN, but the visual representation is not one of them.
As a minority in the country I was born in, I know what it means to feel like an outsider my whole life. It's fine for a kid to learn what it feels like to be an outsider for once in her life, it builds empathy.
At some point, I was using IE 5, then IE 5.5, then Opera and then Firefox 0.8! Used some Neoplanet as well, but I cannot remember when anymore, must have been before Opera...
IE 5.5 was great at the time, though mouse gestures and tabs on Opera were better.
Good coincidence. I'm about to subscribe to Master Class (International 2 for 1 offer) and was looking forward to watching Thomas Keller among others. Watched 2 of Massimo Bottura's lectures with a guest pass and found it useful and informative, looks like I'll enjoy Keller as well...
Not really, I was an Opera user when Firefox 0.8 came out... Switched pretty much permanently, Opera also had mouse gestures which I was actively using and still use with a Firefox extension...
