What exactly do we taste when something tastes "salty"?
Is it possible to make something taste salty without sodium? Is there a way to use a small amount of salt in a way that tastes extra-salty?

Apparently a book about the toxic work environment at Facebook came out last week, but zuck and co sued to prevent the author from promoting it. Would be a damn shame if people bought it and read it anyway

NYTimes Cooking is doing pizza crimes.

After nine years, this was my last week working on Mono, CoreCLR and .NET. Starting next week I will be joining the Rust SDK team at Microsoft. I'm looking forward to helping grow Rust adoption within Microsoft and learning more about Rust tooling and internals.

whoa! I run a mix of debian testing/unstable on my main home machine and the "t64" packages have started showing up in unstable.
I was like... "what's t64".
And it's time. time is changing.

A guide to diagnosing weird pauses in apps on modern runtimes:
10ns: atomics
10ms: GC
10s: DNS, it's always DNS
1m: still DNS
1h: locking
1d: you messed up the TTL in DNS
1w: still DNS, you forgot to bump the serial number in a zone file last week
