JediTalentAgent posted:A couple of years ago there was a company I think that was trying to promote tech to label eggs with expiration dates, bar codes, etc printed on each egg. I don't know what the end game would be with that as I don't really know a lot of people who store their eggs outside the original carton. Our fridge has a special tray in the door for eggs. It only has room for 10 eggs  And it's a pain to transfer the eggs into it too, where do you put the open carton of eggs to get them out to put them in the door? This is often a two-person job

We probably have more pets shedding in the house than they did in 1900 when your animal companions had jobs to do killing mice in the barn and weren’t allowed on the furniture. My dog’s hair is a not insignificant percentage of household cleaning.

Yeah, it wasn't until I lived with someone that eats eggs every day that I saw the fridge trays being useful. They hard boil 4-6 and then put them in the fridge to eat later in salads or in sandwiches. Before I knew that I was thinking eggs come in a carton and we don't need your crappy egg tray Mr samsung and Mr LG E: then again I guess it would be handy for people with their own chooks so they aren't buying eggs in cartons?

Do I get to be the rear end in a top hat that imparts the knowledge that no one wants? I do? Yay! How would you like to be born and then immediately have your fate be the macerator? Millions of baby chicks are ground up alive every day around the world. Since male chicks will not grow to lay eggs, the egg industry kills them all on their first day of life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbNriWcc9CA

EvilGenius posted:So the obsolete technology is the male Fixed it for you. It’s not just factory farming. Even the pretty Vermont organic dairy farm my FiL worked on had a dark dank underbelly. Calves are separated from their moms almost immediately and all but a couple of bulls get sold off for veal. The cows have a pretty decent 4 or 5 years, but as soon as their milk production wanes you learn why no one names farm animals. A quick trip through some spinning saw blades might be gruesome, but at least it’s quick and efficient.

The chicken grinder is loving monstrous, but the captive bolt gun is safe and humane. Unless you're uncomfortable with the fact that the meat in your freezer used to be a living animal. I mean, they used to beat cattle in the head with a sledgehammer before the captive bolt gun. You have to kill them somehow if you expect to get a steak at the other end.

Instead they're gassed (with nitrogen, I think) before being sold directly as reptile feed or processed into feed for other carnivorous animals. Perfect? No, but a lot less grisly.

Maybe it was the movies fault but there was haircuts , styles and technology that screamed 90s. The 90s thread notes that we were still shaking off the 80s trends and musical trappings until Grunge officially ushered in the 90s. 2003 is a little late, but I imagine 9-11 stunted any kind of natural transition. The last few years of the 90s, probably like 98-99, through maybe 2002, have that weird bubble of Millennialism that serves as a good transitional form to study.

It's called "formal methods". You can do things like say that the set of all possible values of a particular variable is S, and then prove that the initial value of the variable will be in S, and then prove that for every possible input, the resulting value of the variable will still be in the set S. Then you can do similar things for other variables, and also prove that they take on the expected values. If you can prove that the software's state is always one of the expected states you know it won't crash. At least it's something like that. I only learned a tiny bit about this, and I seem to remember lecturers acting like "formal methods" was a dirty word, I guess because it's so expensive to do this. When nobody's life depends on the software not crashing, everyone would rather just rush it out the door and let the users find the bugs

Theoretically this should also be much easier with functional programming languages like Scala, F# or K since they're supposed to be built up from easily verifiable functions but I don't think these are taking off in aerospace, so to say.

Imagined posted:I don't know, but I have read that the amount of time Americans spend on household cooking, cleaning and chores has not changed since 1900. Women spend slightly less time on it and men slightly more than they did then, but the overall hours spent combined has not changed. The time hasn't, but productivity certainly has. Unless you think that stuff like hauling rugs outside and beating them with a stick, cooking over a wood-fired stove and washing clothes on a scrubbing board are easier or more efficient than the modern alternatives.
