- Using nonstick spray on an already nonstick cooking surface (like teflon) reduces its efficiency. It covers the nonstick coat. It doesn’t damage it, per say, but it creates a bunch of unnecessary buildup.
- Nonstick spray on cast iron is fine. Those pans should be seasoned anyway.
- Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) does the voice of Chucky in the most recent Child’s Play.
- White holes are the opposite of black holes; nothing can enter, even light. They are just a mathematical construct. Nothing physical can create them.
- pysnooper is a library that gives you a decorator which helps with debugging, like printing the various in the local scope and such. I still like pdb and breakpoint().
- You can do some pretty cool customization with jupyter: https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-effortlessly-optimize-jupyter-notebooks-e864162a06ee. Notebooks are a useful tool for sharing/collab. I don’t use them for my own dev.
- An IPv4 address is 32 bits, and therefore there are 4.3 billion of them (2^32, also there are 4 octets and each is a number 0-255, or 2^8). There are hundreds of millions reserved (already in use) – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses. Eventually, they’ll be exhausted. They can be reclaimed for other purposes, resold on markets, etc, but they are finite. IPv4 is 128 bits, with muuuuuuuch more room.
- But, remember this takes you to a machine. It’s an address. You could have multiple domains and multiple sites being served from the same IP address, like my nginx reverse proxy is doing.
- The conjuring series, the annabelle series, and the nun all take place in the same universe.
- Both the conjuring and child’s play series are ok. Nothing amazing, but still enjoyable.
- TS and TC are telesync and telecine, bootleg movie formats that are between CAM and DVD.
- Read Aaron Franklin’s BBQ book!
- I like meathead’s a bit more overall, because it goes into the scientific rationale for all bbq decisions and variables.
- Learned mostly about building your own smoker. Using pure wood fire in an offset, adding baffles to mix the airflow and create more homogeneous temperature, and smokestack height for how hard it pulls.
- The process is very manual at Franklin. All offsets, oak wood, thermometers, and natural airflow (controlled by doors). Nothing closed-loop. This process could be made simple, more repeatable/dependable, and easier to manage (much less work!) with some simple automation. Just because you’re programming something doesn’t mean it’s doing it differently, it’s just more efficient.
- Start the fire with a piece of juice-soaked butcher paper from yesterday’s brisket wrapping 🙂
- Wagyu means “Japanese Cow” in Japanese.
- Try to buy never-frozen. If you see more blood in the package, it was likely frozen.
- Homemade BBQ sauce with espresso beans – a delicious idea I first saw at Franklin’s.
- Bought a large serrated slicer for brisket, and a boning knife for easier trimming.
- Watch the new live-action Aladdin. Meh. Loved the idea, did not love the adaptation.
- The steam room at 24 closes a couple hours nightly for cleaning, usually around 1-2am.
