Sure, but gated behind a hallucinating idiot.


There's two Henckels listed:

https://ledger.worseonpurpose.com/brands/henckels-internatio...

https://ledger.worseonpurpose.com/brands/zwilling

The first one is on their watchlist and probably the brand you're thinking of?


The first one, "Henckels", openly says that their stuff is from China.

But the second link, "Zwilling" says "Approved". But boy was I disappointed that their "Zwilling Peak" branded ceramic hybrid frying pan for $100 says "Made in China".


You didn't specify which one.

Also...

But does it work? My twenty year old B&W speakers were built in China but they do the job and do it really well.


>but the quiz is unfair - it assumes there is only one "true way", but a lot of frameworks give you options

It says right underneath that quiz:

"There isn’t really a right answer, because you were probably right for some language"


not sure what this has with my point?

I am not talking about "some language", I am talking about specific row in the table, "Python + Trio", which can be ABC or ACB depending on how exactly you implement the code.

For that matter, "Python + Asyncio" is a buggy code as well - if you actually try to run it, you'll get runtime warnings about tasks being garbage collected. Again, ideomatic code would be ACB as well.


This was my experience. Years ago I travelled to New Zealand in what would be their spring time. We stayed in Wanaka but also travelled around Twizel, Tekapo etc.

Although it was pretty sunny with clear blue skies, the air temperature was fairly chilly (shirt, jumper and fleece cold - and I'm Scottish so used to cold weather) and I started to burn. I was warned about this, and the probability of high UV exposure at altitude by the locals and family, and was advised to apply a high factor sunblock whilst roaming around the higher elevations of New Zealand's South Island, which I did.


> I don't get the "everything needs to support dark theme" thing either tbh

I started my career when screens were black with text displayed using green/white/amber phosphor and was used to that. I never liked the bright white UIs when GUI based OS/front ends took over (before themes became a thing).

I find the wall of bright white with black/dark text tiring to look at. Collaborating with colleagues doing screen sharing where they don't use dark themes is really jarring.

It's almost an accessibility thing for me these days.


I don't mind taking a long time to complete a book if the story is good. I just re-read a couple of Peter F Hamilton 1200 page tomes that took me over a month to complete (Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained). However they were fun and I was immersed in the world building.

There are other far shorter novels I have abandoned after 70-80 pages because they're just not very good.


I gave up on the Booker Prize years ago. It's mostly hand wringing, dreary, navel gazing tedium, which is a shame.


i still re/read old winners though


I own, and have read, quite a few novels from the SF Masterworks series. It's my go to for decent quality reprints of older sci-fi. Can definitely recommend.



The second article goes into more detail:

> To minimize the risk of self-pollination, which can result in inbreeding depression and recessive mutations, the flowers open in the morning and the stigmas are receptive to pollen that is brought to them by foraging beetles throughout the day. When evening comes, the innermost tepals close around the carpel and trap the pollinating beetle. While the tepals are closed, the beetle deposits pollen all over the receptive stigmas. The stigmas then close and the anthers become active, covering the same beetle in fresh pollen so that when the sepals open in the morning, it will fly out and find another flower to pollinate. This precise delay in flower function helps to ensure cross pollination.


Thanks. The first article has more info, e.g. that those beetles are flightless.

But that makes me suspect that they spend a lot of time on one tree, only pollinating that tree, which would be pointless because there is no exchange of genes.


The desperation of the immobile


The second article says they can fly.


That's a fork, this is the original where there's been more recent updates:
