Agree. The default download location on iOS and padOS is iCloud and it’s pretty clear that Microsoft is chasing Apple’s monetization model.

You can buy what looks to be the OG on Amazon for $20 if you’re so motivated. Odds are you can find them at other retailers too.

My rant wasn’t aimed at cooked.wiki, more the general state of the web these days.

This seems very similar to the OG all recipies website. Most of their website isn’t that bad still. They also support creating an account to save and organize recipies.

I do not understand the fragmentation of the modern web.

Want to send money to a friend? Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Google pay, Apple cash, Popmoney, etc. There’s also the growing swath of messaging apps that support peer to peer payment.

Want to buy some second hand clothing? There’s Poshmark, Offer Up, Thread Up, Depop, Vinted, Etsy, Grailed, the RealReal, Craigslist, eBay, Facebook Market Place, etc. This is on top of the usual retailers who are also establishing an online presence like Plato’s closet, goodwill, etc.

Rinse and repeat for basically any category possible. I’m running into consumer fatigue and I can’t imagine it’s better for sellers.

I am very confused. How is it that seemingly far inland? Is that whole area tidal?

This probably isn’t a popular option, but a lot of the recent hate on Microsoft have been standard practice for Apple for a long time.

Windows 10 free update length? 10 years. Mac? 5-7 years.

Baked in cloud backup? Yeah, Apple has been doing that for a while and a lot of things go to the cloud by default. If you have an iPhone or iPad, things you download go to iCloud by default.

It seems like Microsoft is trying to follow Apple’s model.

I do get not wanting to support windows 10 anymore. The CPU limitations on Win 11 are very dumb, but it’s something Apple has been doing for decades. I will be installing mint on my old desktop.

I give them less grace with OneDrive. That rollout has been very naggy and shitty.

Seems to depend where you’re located. US here:

Haha, TIL that SQL is 51 years old. IBM mainframes were still all the rage in the 70s. My assumption is that government would have not been an early adopter, but I could obviously be wrong.

That sounds surprising modern. That’s good! Or at least I would think it is good. So many things run on mainframes still.

We have a test environment but it’s a hot mess. All the data is made up and extremely low quality. All the things you would normally interface with are also in test, but getting other teams to coordinate testing in the test space is… a chore. We do the best we can with mock services, but without having real services or representative data some of the data pattern assumptions don’t play out. Leaders value writing code and our lack of architects that span teams mean that when team architects either don’t meet ahead of time, make assumptions, or don’t ever agree on a design then…

We always host UAT. We also track logins. Guess how many users even show up for UAT, let alone actually click on anything.

This is why the vast majority of our testing happens in prod when our users are doing real work.

Sorry for the baby rant :)

This can also be one of the frustrating parts of open source.

Find something you don’t like? Fix it. Will the repo owner approve your pull request? Who knows. Maybe they’re a bit absentee. Maybe they view the original behavior as working as designed. Maybe your design doesn’t fit their architectural model, so they’ll (eventually) heavily refactor your changes and merge them in.

You can always stand up a fork, but keeping those two at feature parity and going in the same general direction can become harder and harder with time.

That’s not to say not to try! But it also means reaching out to the repo owners/maintainers before making your first change.

I imagine the texture will probably be… not great, lol.

Report back on your findings!

I am amused at the up and downvotes on your comment. Have an up vote from me :)

A 7.0 log10 lethality means that a process has reduced the number of harmful bacteria, like Salmonella, by a factor of 10 million, effectively killing 99.99999% of them

This is the same way they measure the time duration you need to hold poultry at 165°F for.

Here’s a fun thought experiment: egg whites collegiate (ie are considered cooked) at 150° F. To reach 7.0 log10 levels of salmonella killing you would have to either have to hold your eggs at this temperature for 72 seconds or cook them to a higher temperature and hold them there less long. I don’t know about you, but I like over easy eggs. The center of the yolk gets no where near 150.

100%

Temp of the coldest part and the quantity of time it’s held at that temperature.

Yes you can, but you’re not going to be able to cook to order.

It’s all about the meat’s internal temperature and the amount of time it’s kept at that temperature. If the meat could reach 165° F instantly it would kill everything. If you hold it at 120° F for two hours you kill nearly everything.

Accurate. You could do this in an oven or grill too, but you might dry things out some. It’s all about the meat’s internal temperature and time. If the meat could reach 165° F instantly it would kill everything. If you hold it at 120° F for two hours you kill nearly everything.

Clearly you’ve never heard of a horse drawn carriage ;)

If it snows “bad enough” this is very common. The roads are going to be hard to drive on, which leads to more accidents and just puts first responders in jeopardy. The day before a big snow the grocery stores are usually slammed.
