I refuse to eat Srirarcha due to its use of Xantan gum.

Using Xantan gum is a sign of ultra processing. It's used to change mouth-feel, which is basically lying to the body.

I always recommend people to read / listen to https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Processed-People-Science-Behind... to understand these ingredients and what they do to our bodies.


What about doing something that Java does with the throws keyword? Would that make the checking easier?

I think that's exactly what's being asked for here (via the "panic effect" that the article refers to)

although, I think i'd prefer a "doesn't panic" effect just to keep backwards compatibility (allowing functions to panic by default)


Or effect aliases. But given that it's strictly a syntactic transformation it seems like make the wrong default today, fix it in the next edition. (Editions come with tools to update syntax changes)

What's interesting for me is my tinnitus is off when I wake up, and then all of the sudden it turns on. Very weird.

Testing if it still works:

I remember buying the Scotch Magic Tape, the matte one.

I was surprised that it didn't make the sound. Probably because it's a little bit more flexible?


I found "quiet" packing tape recently. I bought it, while highly skeptical, for my last move. It was barely more expensive. I don't recall seeing it before.

Super pleasant, did not make the rip crackle squeal sound at all.


> Well, if you use 'FROM python:3.10' for your images then only one.

Negative, there can be multiple versions of an image with the same tag and a different SHA.


I think credit card fees are often positioned against what businesses believe is the cost of cash, i.e. zero.

However, with cash one needs to have / has / has to pay for:

* a more complex register * a person who takes more time to do the transaction * someone who counts the register at the end of the day to ensure it matches * someone who drives to the bank to deposit the money (at random times) * additional insurance * a bank account which probably charges for these cash services

If you don't count time, then cash is better.

And also, in Europe, if you as a business prefer cash, we all know it means that you make X, but you only report X/2.


In Europe, interchange fees are capped at 0.3%, so generally handling cards is going to work out _cheaper_ than handling cash for most retail businesses. In the US, interchange can be ten times that, so it's a slightly different situation...

But unless you don't accept cash at all, you have to do that anyway.

I've been to several cashless cafes that just had a Square tap thingy.

That said, I expect the cost of taking cash does scale to some degree with how much of it you take. Obviously you still need a cash register, but if only 10-20% of your business is cash, maybe it only needs to be reconciled and emptied out every second or third day? And it's a faster and lower stakes process if there's less in it? Insurance is cheaper as well if the total loss is 1/10 what it would be if every dime was passing through there.


This. There is rarely a shortage of qualified people.

It's usually companies who hide behind 'we use data from HR to ensure we pay market rate'.

Paying market rate doesn't make people change jobs.


And that HR data is effectively wage suppression collusion across organizations.
