Same thing with hardware in every company I've worked at. Really, "Sr. Staff Engineer Alice" makes $300k/yr, but only gets a budget of $2k for a laptop that's meant to last four years and is their primary tool? How does this make sense?

Hot takes aside, if you're looking for great foraging books, I'd suggest anything by David Arora, such as "All That the Rain Promises and More" and "Mushrooms Demystified". The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms is, of course, pretty good too.

Outside of identification, "Chanterelle Dreams, Amanita Nightmares" and "Radical Mycology" are good reads too.

Let's go ahead and ban pen and paper, typewriters, email, and unregulated verbal speech too, to make sure they aren't avenues for sharing pirate urls.

Exactly. I'm pointing out that what gp says:

> It may end up having a much larger impact than reddit corporate anticipates.

Is unlikely. I'm not adding an opinion on whether or not this is a good move, or a user-friendly move.

"reddit corporate"? Like Steve, who was the original founder and is the current CEO, or Alexis, another original founder, who is the executive chairman?

There is absolutely zero way they're unaware of the impact and I guarantee you they have thought this move through thoroughly.

Do you have a link to any of these models? I was just wondering if any existed a few days ago.

Yup, this. I see how my statement was ambiguous.

When I built reddit's mobile website, I refused to add any mobile ads - I told the product owner that they could buy ads like anyone else. Literally the week after I quit, they added in mobile ads. lol

At some point recently they changed it to ask you every time you visit. There used to be an option to disable the mobile app ads. Funny that that's the only thing they've changed in six years (I left late 2016.)

Not only that, but this is an interview question. It isn't helpful at all to judge the quality of code in isolation; nobody's going to write perfect code in an interview setting, especially one in which the candidate can't have a conversation with the interviewer. When I conduct code interviews with candidates, we pair on projects. The candidate is asked to complete the task without regards to how clean the code is. We then have a conversation afterwards about how to clean things up, solve for complex cases, etc. It's much better signal to talk through these things to get the candidate's insight than it is to just get a chunk of code at the end that may-or-may-not meet the linting guidelines of my company.

I've interviewed hundreds of engineers in the last twenty years. I've been (and am) a hiring manager for many of them. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole, and I'd run away as a candidate if my git commits were being judged as part of a coding interview.

These "metrics" are for conversation, not for automated "judgement."

> A free tier with unlimited cards but no sync/local only, could help to get users into seeing value.

Quite the opposite, for me. Local storage is far more valuable.

I've been brewing beer and mead for a decade, so I'm used to issues of contamination - although it's very hard to make yourself sick with beer. Worst case, it tastes bad and you have a little bit of gastrointestinal distress, but cheese is a different beast!

I have friends who raise goats, and it sounds like it's time to give them a call. I'll err on the side of safety and read more on home pasteurization. Thanks for the info!

Thank you for all the information- your username checks out!

Re: "don't make cheese with raw milk. You'll regret it." If the only non-homogenized milk I can find is raw, is it safe to home-pasteurize it (63C for 30 mins,) or am I better off using the homogenized stuff?

I've only made ricotta and mozzarella so far, but I've been thinking about diving into hard cheeses soon. I was just talking to my partner about cheesemaking over the weekend, so a random cheesemaking article on Hacker News is rather serendipitous...
