Really wish Jon Stokes had not left Ars. His articles were my introduction to hardware, and even though this article is from 2002 it still very much applies to every CPU.
We will definitely be checking this out. Our experience with another vendor and ES has not been great. From having the whole cluster come down when we're doing batch inserts for initial loads to having 10s timeouts on random queries during low activity windows with the vendor saying "dunno, everything looks good here" (when we measured that this 10s were spent waiting for ES).
If you're looking for a search backend without having to worry about managing infrastructure, you should check out Azure Search. I'm a dev on the product. If you're interested in trying it out let me know. You can ping me at my username @microsoft.com if you have questions or need pointers.
I was wondering why the author mentioned _.partial after a sections about Function.prototype.bind. Wouldn't :
_.partial(_.merge, {}).apply(this, confs);
Be the same as:
_.merge.bind(_, {}).apply(_, confs);
That being said, I'm glad this forced me to look up _.partial - seems like you can pass '_' as a parameter and that position in the arguments will not be bound in the partial function!
"Sealing in the juices" is definitely false, but a hot sear to cause the Maillaird protein reaction is important if you want to have the distinctive "traditional" steak taste.
Definitely after. Cooking denatures the myosin and releases water; a seared steak soaking in water isn't going to have the kind of texture you'll get (and want!) from the Maillard reaction.
I guess what I mean is that it'll taste fine but the texture won't be quite there.
That's good for a 1-hour steak, but I wouldn't do eggs this way (needs more precise temp) or a 72-hour short rib braise (needs stable heat for longer).
I agree--and even for one hour timeframes, be sure to check your ending temperature to make sure it didn't cool off too much. I'm not a fan of the beer-cooler method for this reason (although with care, of course, it's safe).
I'm from a south american country so I get the "do you feel safe?" and the "what was like to grow up in poverty?" - not to mention the 'la raza' type of comments.
These stereotypes are annoying but it's whatever, you shrug it off and find something to make fun of the people saying those things - 'Do you go through withdraws if you don't eat your frosted flakes every morning?'
Do I feel like I belong in a group of people from my country? Well, maybe? If I know them and I'm friends with them. If I do, it sure as hell isn't because they're from my country but because they're good people. My primary group of friends is all WASP (white anglo-saxon protestant), and I don't feel like an outcast.
> Overall: if everybody could stop being so sensetive. Grow up. People are different. Some people aren't nice. Learn to deal with it.
YEP. That's it. The world will be a better place once people stop hating other people based on their physical characteristics and start hating them unconditionally.
