are these packaged thermometer devices, such as the DS18B20, or a bare thermistor bead?

If it’s just a bead, you probably need to calibrate them.

Yeah, you become a trillion dollar company by being lazy and not knowing what people want!

guar gum, xantham gun, locust bean extract, etc - all emulsifers or texture additives used to mask lower product quality and allow more air to be whipped in.

Even the expensive stuff, Ben & Jerrys (sold out to PE a while ago), boutique brands at Whole Foods, and even Kirkland premiun have the same list of bullshit.

The only brand I can reliably find without them is Haagen Dazs.

Not the foot-shooting complexity though, just the extra-power complexity

Thank god, Javascript is a mess.

I’ll still plug Scala for having the beauty of Python, the ecosystem of Java, the correctness of Rust, the concurrency of Go, and the power of Lisp.

Is COBOL subject to buffer overflows and use-after-free bugs? I honestly don’t know.

I don’t recall the COBOL code I’ve read using pointers.

LOL, yeah. Capitalism.

The great socialist countries are way ahead with modular, standardized mobile handset components.

Everyone knows the longest-lived PC bus standards came out of the Soviet Union and North Korea in the 80s.

And large businesses worldwide are still running accounting software on the mainframe architecture China’s government developed in the 60s.

lol, right, this is terrorism!

If 10 people are sitting at a table…

Unfortunately, Determinate’s installer doesn’t work on my new Macbook ☹️

When Russian citizens understand there are direct consequences to them, Russian citizens stop supporting Putin’s actions.

Personally I’m glad the sanctions have some bite. You can’t expect to just keep living your life as you wish when your country is obliterating its neighbors and disrupting stability worldwide.

I would think it specifically excludes aggregate or laminated products like MDF, OSB, or plywood.

It is lumber sawn whole from the tree.

Yeah maybe that’s true. I thought the recent work eliminated it but it looks like ZGC2 has a bounded and usually microseconds-range pause time.

FYI the JVM’s GC is concurrent and doesn’t freeze.

Try Scala. It has all the functional goodness, all the OOP goodness, all the imperative goodness, clean syntax like python or like typescript, really well thought out libraries like ZIO, Akka, Tapir, Caliban and access to all Java libraries. Very mature runtime with best-in-class high performance concurrent GC and a green thread implementation that can handle 10s of millions of concurrent operations.

Yeah let’s not forget the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) which was more full-featured of an object-oriented language than most “current” languages.

The dynamism allowed both Smalltalk and CLOS to avoid a dark corner that will confound your typical OOP’er today - the circle/ellipse modeling problem; they allow an object to “become” a different type on its own accord. Take that, Java!

Also no downvotes :)

This is why I chose lemmynsfw. No one doubts our intent
