My Favorite Carrot Cake Recipe - Sally's Baking Addiction
Here is my favorite carrot cake recipe. It's simple, sweet, moist, flavorful, and topped with cream cheese frosting!
NOTES
Maybe too much cardamon? Don't add more!
Frosting weigh and then sift sugar
- Did 1 1/2 packages of cream cheese and 400g sugar.
WIP is waste
A manifesto on work, waste, cost and value.
Work in progress has zero value. Ship!
- Before a task is shipped it provides zero value.
- Any work in progress is pure cost.
- Two tasks in progress adds cost, for no value.
- Only after shipping do you create value. Always ship.
- One task shipped is infinitely better than 4 tasks “almost done”.
- Ship something of value first. Then begin something new.
Makefile Tutorial By Example
I built this guide because I could never quite wrap my head around Makefiles. They seemed awash with hidden rules and esoteric symbols, and asking simple questions didn’t yield simple answers. To solve this, I sat down for several weekends and read everything I could about Makefiles. I've condensed the most critical knowledge into this guide. Each topic has a brief description and a self contained example that you can run yourself.
If you mostly understand Make, consider checking out the Makefile Cookbook, which has a template for medium sized projects with ample comments about what each part of the Makefile is doing.
My first ever hand cut dado is...not great
Make a small kerf with a knife and a chisel, saw in that.
Look up Paul Sellers on YouTube, he has great hand tools videos.
If you're doing this with hand tools don't underestimate the importance of sharp chisels. From your description I don't think they're nearly sharp enough.
"Unbeatable Poker" Review: Worst Poker Book of 2019?
Most poker books are outdated in a solver-era of poker, so I was curious to check out Red Chip Poker coach Ross Glover's "Unbeatable Poker," one of the only books that heavily incorporates GTO poker analysis. However, I was disappointed to find that Glover's approach was more noise than strategy. This video explains why Glover's work is a dead-end rabbit hole, using PIOsolver proofs and detailed strategy discussion that you won't find anywhere else.
The video I quote in the beginning can be found here. Uri is an insanely bright grandmaster of many games.

You’re probably using the wrong dictionary « the jsomers.net blog
John McPhee -- almost peerless as a prose stylist -- wrote an essay for the New Yorker about his process called "Draft #4." For him, #4 is the draft after the painstaking labor of creation is done, when all that's left is to punch up the language, to replace shopworn words and phrases with stuff that sings.
The way you do it, is "you draw a box not only around any word that does not seem quite right but also around words that fulfill their assignment but seem to present an opportunity." You go looking for le mot juste.
But somehow for McPhee, the dictionary -- the dictionary! -- was the fount of fine prose, the first place he'd go to filch a phrase, to steal fire from the gods.
Take a simple word, like "flash." In all the dictionaries I've ever known, I would have never looked up that word. I'd've had no reason to -- I already knew what it meant. But go look up "flash" in Webster's (the edition I'm using is the 1913).

The Best Teeth Whitening Kits, According to Dentists
Zoom NiteWhite Kit, Set of 3
Nearly all of the dentists we consulted said that getting custom whitening trays—which are often made of hard plastic and molded to the shape of your teeth—from your dentist is the way to go.
Just fill your tray with gel from the syringe and wear it for up to four hours a day. Philips promises results in two weeks.

Font style matcher
If you're using a web font, you're bound to see a flash of unstyled text (or FOUC), between the initial render of your websafe font and the webfont that you've chosen. This usually results in a jarring shift in layout, due to sizing discrepancies between the two fonts. To minimize this discrepancy, you can try to match the fallback font and the intended webfont’s x-heights and widths [1]. This tool helps you do exactly that.

Card cheating in texas hold 'em (2p2 COTW)
If you'd like to hire me as an emcee or a magician, visit http://www.nick.com.sg
Hi everyone, this video was created with 2p2 in mind. I was glad to be part of the Concept of the week and I'm honoured to head this discussion for the forum that has helped me so much. I'm just glad to return the favour.
This video contains card cheating methods and ways to avoid being cheated in card games. Don't bother trying any of the methods as you will be caught, I promise. It's a lot more difficult that it looks :p
My apologies if the video gets cut off right at the end. 'The Deal' section states that you should always listen for bottom and 2nd deals, use a propor poker table and always be vigilant. Enjoy!

Router Edge Guide: 6 Tips for Perfect Edges| Family Handyman
Modern router bits with carbide cutters and guide bearings make forming wood edges almost foolproof. Try this router edge guide for tips.
-
Router bits spin clockwise as you look down on the router, so moving the router counterclockwise tends to pull the pilot bearing tight against the wood and allows easy control of the router. When you’re routing the outside perimeter of a board, move the router counterclockwise. However, when you’re routing the inside of something like a picture frame, move the router in a clockwise direction.

Hold Chopsticks like a Pen - Marcosticks
Countless chopstick wrappers advice learners to "hold chopsticks like a pen". Here we explore the correlation between pen grips and chopstick grips.
The book showed two closely-related variants of the tripod grip. For reasons that will be explained later, we will call the above left posture the Caswellian Grip, and the above right posture the Spencerian Grip.
- We will call it the Lateral Grip here. *

Losing the imitation game
AI cannot develop software for you, but that's not going to stop people from trying to make it happen anyway. And that is going to turn all of the easy software development problems into hard problems.
- A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision.
Programming as Theory Building
Non-trivial software changes over time. The requirements evolve, flaws need to be corrected, the world itself changes and violates assumptions we made in the past, or it just takes longer than one working session to finish. And all the while, that software is running in the real world. All of the design choices taken and not taken throughout development; all of the tradeoffs; all of the assumptions; all of the expected and unexpected situations the software encounters form a hugely complex system that includes both the software itself and the people building it. And that system is continuously changing.
To circle back to AI like ChatGPT, recall what it actually does and doesn't do. It doesn't know things. It doesn't learn, or understand, or reason about things. What it does is probabilistically generate text in response to a prompt.
