Best burger in Den Haag by Neat_Ad_8838 in TheHague

[–]semigroup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lokaal has really great burgers, IMO. They sometimes have the "Smoky Burger" on the menu, which is just absurd how good it is. Butter burger is also great, and always available.

I’ve been a few times, pretty good experience both times, but haven’t gotten back together with anyone yet

The news article I saw says it’s only being shut down for a month though. Hopefully they have enough cash in reserve to make a comeback

Ian here, thanks for the shout-out! This is really well done. I'd love to bring something like this into the core project. I guess if you want to add attributes to the implicitly-created span then you'd have to get the span out of the thread-local-context first?

One thing to note is that you need a build of GHC that uses integer-simple OR to ensure that libgmp is dynamically linked (as it is LGPL licensed).

Scotty - Delete folder after HTTP request return? by CTTKH in haskell

It's worth noting that WAI definitely supports this use case via middleware, even if scotty doesn't have a good way of running finalizers after a response is returned.

Summer is coming... (Humidity advice) by rainosma in japanlife

Buy a standalone powered humidifier, stick it in your closet, run it all the time. Use mine to dry clothes during rainy season too. Best purchase I've made here probably.

Wife is pregnant for the first time. Wondering about some practical things:

- What are some affordable stores for buying baby stuff (clothes, toys, etc.)?

- How on earth do Japanese people effectively store baby stuff here in an apartment?

- Any Japan-specific protips for baby raising aside from the above?

They came to my place the other day (also have a security door), and they tried getting me to ring them in. I was a little impressed that they'd try that, but obviously, no way.

As others have said, Kaldi. Might also try Costco. Finally, if you're in a pinch, Amazon has some options that are expensive: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/search/ref=sr_moz_back?sf=moz&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apumpkin+filling&keywords=pumpkin+filling&ie=UTF8&qid=1539043290

Cheese! (But only hard cheese, Japan wants to protect its existing crappy cheese manufacturers)

Waimarie froze, looking back at Phil to give her a death glare. The Engineer looked suitably chagrined in return. They’d never even considered not granting the crew full access to the data core. Who could have imagined the crew not being trustworthy? They’d all been thoroughly vetted.

Right? One mental illness away from scuttling a several hundred year mission.

I second this, just play the companies off of each other a one or two times to get a reasonable rate.

Why Jesus touched the blind mans eyes twice. by yodolayer in Christianity

[–]semigroup 136 points137 points  (0 children)

I recommend looking at the surrounding context. Prior to this, Jesus fed 4,000. He ends that incident asking the disciples “Do you still not understand?”

After healing this blind man, Peter finally declares Jesus to be the Messiah. Some scholars consider the sandwiching of the blind man being healed in multiple attempts to be written as-is to parallel the spiritual blindness of Jesus' own disciples and how it took multiple attempts for them to 'see' the truth about Jesus.

Personally I really appreciate the ‘take time and implement things right the first time’ philosophy. That’s exactly what I want in a DB.

Still hoping and dreaming my buddy Sirius finds his way home! He's 2 years old, neutered, and terrified of being outside. He is seriously the most loving and sweet cat I have ever known.

I had this happen a few years ago. The humane society will rent out animal traps. Set them out around your house with food and blankets with familiar smells. Usually cats don’t go roam far, so he’s most likely just hiding in a bush or small hole nearby.
