slightly off topic, but my favorite example of the difference is that botanically, a green bean is a fruit.

The difference is between retailer and marketplace. Both Amazon and Costco are retailers, and both could use that knowledge to decide what products to self-source for better retail…

It's actually a far superior mouthfeel! The eggwhite foam can have a texture that's hard to describe...dry? coarse? But the aquafaba is smooth (and no, no chickpea taste even thoug…

If you're trying to add a little more seasoning you will need to bake. You'd do this after a rough cleaning or cooking something watery or acidic. If you're just protecting it from…

I'd say this is a difference of scale. Hinton's comments are meant to inspire and encourage _The Next Great Thing_. We could read the paper that broadly, but they seem to be addres…

> Has there ever been a bigger missed opportunity in business than Docker managed to preside over? Sun Microsystems

Not even close. But ugh, it is sort of getting there as far as what inflated titles are being offered/used. Going to be as watered down as today's "DBA" vs 20 years ago "DBA" at th…

MSFT at $805B ;-) (disclosure, my employer, etc)

"negative latency". That's a Jobs worthy dodge right there.

Yes, this is silly. And while they address it, and admit that using that field alone basically results in perfect classification, they don't do the logical thing and give this whol…

In fact your whole post misses the grandparent post's point. Their point was that they _absolutely intend to do_ what you just said. However, very little of what we do as humans in…

"Ubdoubtably"... because... Well because by definition we don't doubt articles of faith right?

I find it weird that you consider it a workaround to put a Password Entry field inside a cell rather than using a "PasswordEntryCell", that's just simply nesting a control, in what…

My wife and I are currently back to using _none_ of these services for much the same reasons as everyone else (prep time, dirty dishes, small portion sizes) but I will say Blue Apr…

That's true, but it's done so that you can have simple 'if' logic to determine if something is available without having to recompile. If the interfaces were missing altogether the …

IF UWP will expand to do that it's not in any announced roadmap (and if it's being discussed internally I'm not privy to such things :) ) whereas Xamarin is doing it now(ish). You …

ECMA spec is for the CLI, essentially the specification for runtime like type system and GC and all the other things that make an environment work at all Net Standard is a specific…

Microsoft's Xamarin Forms 3.0 (stable release later this year) allows you to target Linux and Mac[1] and is very similar to UWP conceptually - UI written once, run anywhere. It's j…

I like both mcmansionhell.com AND my mcMansion. Weirdly, she calls out fake shutters that won't actually close over the windows, but my 1954 built, 1300sq ft previous house had tho…

Seems like Uber would be a big step _down_ for Sandberg.

This is the most reddit-like comment thread I've ever seen on HN

Hey Guys, Xamarin University Instructor here, Obviously I think it's worth it, I learned it well enough to teach others. We have a bunch of free Self Paced Learning modules and vid…

I would throw Pioneer Woman on as the second Google option. She doesn't have the geeky bent that Kenji does, but has amazing recipes.

I'm American and it drives me crazy to hear this, but it is regretfully not terribly uncommon.
