    It's inefficient, but still better than completely losing out on it. Better yet would be direct reuse or remote heating.

    It might actually be safe to use as a condiment, as originally intended.

    This is not rot, but digestion. The digestive enzymes of the fish keep breaking down amino acids, producing the characteristic smell. The salt prevents most microorganisms from gro…

    Killed from what? It's essentially sterile from all the salt.

    It could simply be diluted with lots of river water and disposed into the sea, like the waste product of saltwater desalination plants. Another solution would be to test it in a la…

    Yes, it needs to be handled with care, but it's essentially the same procedure as with the waste products of desalination water plants. One caveat though - once you start diluting …

    Acid is a good way to modulate the flavor. There is a reason why in Vietnamese dishes are often served with limes.

    Teaching only the practical side risks not teaching the subject with the appropriate theoretical depth and the ability to generalize it to other applications. Courses for purely ap…

    Even when this really isn't the case, the math is preferably reduced to a linear problem whenever possible since dealing with the original complexity is usually so much more painfu…

    Many important advances in linear algebra happened in WWI to solve optimization problems for logistical and industrial planning. A lot of these applications boil down to high-dimen…

    The ultimate goal of university education is to raise researchers , who are the people that investigate the knowledge frontier of their field and then advancing it. To do that they…

    There is a tension between applied and theoretical mathematics, and it's as old as the whole science itself. Mathematics arose to solve practical problems (land surveying and divis…

    It's a good outcome as long as the proof is valid and ubderstandable to humans and leads to the discovery of further knowledge. There has been decades of search in Theorem Proving;…

    The official guidance is very simple and straightforward: upgrade regularly and keep eyes open for the few actual things that could cause trouble. If a project cannot keep up it ca…

    Just one more push to Java 17; from there on it should be smooth sailing. I hope you have built up a comprehensive regression test suite as part of the migration.

    Patches are released continuously. The upstream versions get them immediately and they are then backported to LTS versions. Whether the patches actually become available simultaneo…

    Yes, you can. There is no need to recompile, unless you're interested in new language features. Maintaining binary compatibility is a principal goal of the platform which continues…

    I believe that's by design: applications are encouraged to upgrade often. That's usually a smooth process for standard-conforming applications. Applications that need to move slowe…

    Since the presence of that chromosome causes problems in an organism that functions normally with just two of these chromosomes, the change is actually not that big. And the therap…

    How about kobold.cpp then? Or LMStudio (I know it's not open source, but at least they give proper credit to llama.cpp)? Re curation: they should strive to not integrate broken sup…

    Getting an overview of parsing theory is mainly useful to avoid making ambiguous or otherwise hard to parse grammars. Usually one can't go too wrong with a hand-written recursive d…

    Single transistors aren't yet logic gates by themselves; they are amplifiers with a very specific gain function that makes it possible to use them as switches. Logic gates usually …

    We don't just use one single method to infer distances. TA is about that there are multiple methods, and that the framework is open for new ones. What is more likely at fault is th…
