Plus one to Chef John. That's how I learned how to cook, one recipe at a time.

I would recommend this one as a starting point because it's easy, you learn a method that you use all the time (making a roux) and it's delicious. I still make it all the time.

Chicken with Chipotle & Green Onion Gravy

Also a quick tip: you can roast most veggies (e.g. green beans, brussel sprouts, asparagus) with some olive oil and salt at 375° for a bit and they will come out tasty.

    Congratulations! Learning trumpet is no small feat. I've been learning a bit on a free trumpet I got and it is really hard to play any high notes (especially with any kind of good tone).

    Great job keeping up the daily habit. I bet you sound way better than you did 5 months ago!

    If you don't understand someone's code, be brave and leave a comment saying you don't understand. If you can't understand it, the next person who has to maintain it won't either. It's a strong indication that refactoring should be done.

    Also if something breaks, just remember that you can roll back.

    Good luck!

    I think most people think about it more if the second way you described (as kind of a small retirement hobby, not to earn much money).

    Tech workers spend all of their time working on abstract problems that have no end and spend all their energy to produce something intangible that must indefinitely be maintained.

    They see farming as the exact opposite of this: something they can work on with their hands in the dirt, that eventually bears fruit that you can hold in the palm of your hand, and even eat yourself and personally benefit from.

    This is much more an urge to return to nature and the feeling of actual accomplishment rather than an actual business plan. It doesn't really matter how it goes financially because they already have enough money to retire.

    I think they typically know that it's more expensive. They are just making the assumption that the cost will come down drastically in the future and the quality will drastically increase.

    I just don't think that will happen before all of these companies run out of money.

    Having the LLM generate suggestions that the human can use is exactly the kind of interaction I want. I'm still in control, the LLM can help and can't hurt.

    Ardour is an open source DAW (like Cubase/Logic Pro/Reaper) which is meant for music writing. You can use that potentially instead of Audacity for recording and using MIDI instruments.

    LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The produce market in downtown Los Angeles has become another casualty of the ICE raids happening across Southern California, with employees not showing up and customers staying away out of fear of being detained.

    Rotting fruit and vegetables scattered throughout the market were seen on Tuesday in what would otherwise be a bustling scene. Store after store closed for now, each with plenty to sell but no one to buy.

    The immigrant community usually fills the L.A. produce market but since ICE agents arrived in downtown, the market has been empty, with only a trickle of workers showing up.

     

    Perovskite LEDs are emerging as a game-changing technology, offering vibrant colors, lower costs, and easier manufacturing compared to traditional LEDs.

    But for these next-generation LEDs to take over the market, researchers at Linköping University argue that technical performance alone isn’t enough—they must also be affordable and environmentally sustainable.
