Breyer's Dulce de Leche ice cream is pure poison. Since I have an exceptionally strong immune and digestive system, I'm willing to do my part to save humanity by eating every last bit of it. Help save the world: buy a package of this ice cream and ship it to me packaged in dry ice. The world thanks you.

Oh, I didn't make the ice cream. Breyer's did all the work there. However, if you mean the dulce de leche itself, that's easy. Buy a couple cans of sweetened condensed milk, take the labels off. Put a pot of water on the stove, put the cans in the water, and bring it to a boil. Boil for 1.5 hours, turn the cans on the other end using tongs, boil another 1.5 hours. Pull out, let cool...

- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Johni, I was in Argentina 4 years ago for work: I spent a month helping to train a call center in Córdoba. I don't know when we'll be back, but every 6 months or so we price out what a 10 day trip would cost us. If things go well, we'd like to go about this time next year.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
OK I seriously need to try this. My grandmother used to do somthing similar with the left over pie crust for the little ones. The mild would go into it and be all carmelly creme. I might have some cans in the cupboard. *mostly commenting so I can find the recipe again.* Thanks!

How would this go with a couple of homemade chocolate chip cookies? (White sugar, notwithstanding?)
- Derrick
i grew up on dulce de leche. (if you recall, we had this convo in an earlier life Tina) i make it, i consume it, i do things with it that are best left to ones imagination. that said, i hate the ice cream version of it. its not the same in any way on my palate. speaking of pallets, maybe i can arrange a pallet of this junk to be delivered to your home.
- Carlos Ayala
oki we will wait :-)) but if U dont want to wait for the real Dulce de Leche I will be happy to send u some ,send me over here or in Twitter yr email and contacts and you will get the real thing (not ice cream ajjaja but the real Dulce de Leche )
- Johni Fisher
Derrick: dulce de leche goes well with everything, chocolate especially. I use it to make an apple pecan pie and it's evil. And Carlos, I agree that the ice cream isn't the same. But I find it tasty in its own caramel-y right. Johni, I greatly appreciate the offer. Perhaps I'll have to make a batch of my dulce de leche over the next month, and I'll post some pics to see if it's up to standard =)
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
i wonder if it would work in a slow cooker too
- Imabug
i wouldnt do that Imabug. contents under pressure in that can. placing the can in water and boiling it is the way everyone makes it (at home).
- Carlos Ayala
@FFing Enigma (aka Tina) Who's getting that swap package after you? You say this keeps how long? :-) Where do I get in line? (Seriously I'll just make some.)
- moon_shadow70
Moon_Shadow, the swaps box has already left the gate plus postage might be a bit prohibative. But it really is easy to make, and the boiled cans keep on the shelf for at least 6 months (I've used some after more than a year and it tastes fine, some of the sugars had started to crystallize though).
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Ooohh, I haven't had dulce de leche in a long time. I didn't even know there was ice cream with it! Portuguese have something very similar, doce de leite (?) that's made into a candy and is wonderful. Gawd, nearest store is 12 miles away...

Peter, that's awesome! We didn't realize she liked Doritos until she stole one from my husband and growled when we tried to take it away. The tequila was an accident too: I made tequila lime chicken and left the marinade in the bowl while we ate dinner. 20 minutes later she walked into the room kinda sideways....

My kitten will take a Dorito and lick all the flavor off of it, delicately flip it over and lick the other side clean. Then she'll eat it. It's hilarious. I have yet to find anything she WON'T eat.

This tutorial is a practical exploration of using Python coroutines (extended generators) for solving problems in data processing, event handling, and concurrent programming. The material starts off with generators and builds to writing a complete multitasking environment that can run thousands of concurrent tasks without using threads or using code based on event-driven callbacks (i.e., the "reactor" model).

Yeah, it has a lot of problems with high volume posters. I actually had to temporarily unsubscribe from Scoble so that other people would show up as well :). This started off with me wondering if our realtime view (http://friendfeed.com/realtime) could have some kind of threading added in. It doesn't really work in a lot of cases, but by putting the code out there I'm hoping that it will inspire other people to come up with interesting new interfaces (and also show how easy it is to use our API).
- Paul Buchheit
@Peter: A sticky post that remains at the top until I decide otherwise would be fantastic. I'd also like the ability to change the number of items I see per page. @Paul: Kudos on the realtime and for the API.
- AJ Kohn
This API is absolutely simple and easy to use - but the styles interfere with my css and my poor coding is not up to sorting them out so that I can add the FF-UI to one of my pages rather than put it on a separate page. Heaps of fun to use. http://www.chrisloft.com/myFF...
- Chris Loft
Ack!! It looks like Twitter!!!
- Fa La La La Lindsay
not really diggin it to be honest. as an optional or additional way to view ff it could work for those who choose, but i think the one we have currently looks a little better
- Cee Bee
Actually, looks kinda like Tumblr.
- Yolanda
yeah - i prefer this. its instantly recodnisable as FF. the prototype looks more like Twitter.
- Roberto Bonini
I will get used to whatever UI you put on top of FF, so I'm not to worried about what sites it does or doesn't look like. This approaches what I would really like for FF, which is to set a rate of information flow (maybe even have some sort of dial). There are already recommended friends, which would be smarter when I have time to waste than surfing "everyone", but I could dial it way back on busy days. This would also help with discovery because I could add people to my home feed if I like their stuff.
- Clare Dibble
Been checking it out with my own name replacing yours..it's an entirely new perspective on FF. Could be good...not sure yet. Thanks for posting.
- Josh Haley
I just realized that it looks surprisingly like a chi.mp site. I.e. http://sunla.mp/
- Jauder Ho
It looks a bit like twitter, I think we could utilize a couple different ui designs in "settings"
- Kyle Weller
it's interesting, not sure I like it.
- mikepk
I do like the "roll your own with the JSON" approach though. Tried to do something similar with our stuff back in the day.

Where "back in the day" means 1-2 years ago. :)

mixed feelings.. does look like tumblr

Asking "should we trust the cloud" is like asking "should we trust horseless carriages" - http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog...

"First of all, it doesn't really matter if people trust the cloud or not. What matters is whether they use it or not. The average person doesn't trust computers, automobile mechanics or lawyers yet they use them anyway. Given the massive adoption of the Web from search engines and e-commerce sites to Web-based email and social networking services, it is clear that the average computer person trusts the cloud enough to part with their personal information and their money." Nice.
- Paul Buchheit
My feeling is this. Use the cloud for the convenience it offers. But never trust it.
- Gregg H.
Fantastic title
- JonathanJoseph
Great post.
- Matt Cutts
We don't actually trust horseless carriages: That's why we have insurance, and roadside repair, and so on. The question is whether, in moving to the cloud (which, by and large, we aren't at the moment - at least outside of mainstream geekery) we have enough insurance.
- Ian Betteridge
I think Dare's point is that we may not trust them completely, but we use them and they work well for us. The same as "computers and ... lawyers" from the article.
- Matt Cutts
i expect our data and applications will move to the cloud, then maybe hardware advances will bring the data and applications back to us when capabilities allow and then ultimately out to the cloud because at that point the real time information created by each individual will probably be too much.
- Iggy Mwangi
The problem with this cloud stuff - it's counter to human nature. That nature that tells us to stock up when we see bargains, preventing us from pick up milk in a supermarket, walking out with only milk. That forces netbook shoppers to demand roomy hard drives, clunky operating systems, bigger screens & even dvd burners just to use firefox. That causes people to ignore the 8GB iPhone because there's bigger and you might need that storage. That drives consumers to bigger Mpx cameras with increased features.
- Ian Tindale
And that nature that tells us to download and squirrel away multimedia instead of trusting to merely experiencing it streamed. If it's 'only' streamed, I don't get to hold it in my hands like an album cover. If I store it on my increasing collection of hard drives, well, it's mine, now, innit?

I generally do my best programming with coffee or red wine. Other liquids have competed for the position of most inspiring, but none has come close.

Then again, maybe my definition of "best" is impacted by the red wine...
- Bret Taylor
Wine and coding is an impressive combination, Bret!
- Prolific Programmer
If its true that alcohol lowers your inhibitions then maybe coding while drinking results in groundbreaking stuff that you may not have had the cojones (for lack of a better word) to do while not drinking.
- EricaJoy
I'm not sure good code is often groundbreaking, though. Mostly it is just mechanical execution over stuff you knew how to do before you started (and do better with practice), and the hardest bits have usually been solved by others before you, so better preparation (research) is 1000x more valuable than inspiration. But +1 to the coffee/wine in any case.
- DeWitt Clinton
Coffee *and* red wine for me. Off-menu item at Starbucks. Ask for a "Pinotcchino".
- Chris Wetherell
I often find that moderate amounts of wine are very conducive to debugging, especially when under a bit of duress. I once had a bunch of servers start crashing constantly while I was in a SF hotel with my wife. At first I was stressed out, cranked up the laptop, and started trying to fix the problem. When my wife fed me a couple of glasses of wine, I calmed down and solved the problem easily.

- Wally Punsapy
I find that I'm more productive at coding after five or six shots of whiskey. I think it prevents me from overthinking every problem, and it makes it easier to focus for some reason.
- Jim Norris
Wine doesn't work for me anymore. Just makes me snoozey, that is why I quit :)
- Dion Almaer
I drink a lot more water while programming. If I ever stop programming I'll probably be less healthy.

- Karen Padham Taylor
Clare and I finally finished watching season 4 (first half) last night, then watched the new one on tv. 4 hours of Battlestar! It was rough, but it was really good. I hope that no one spoils it for you Tudor. Battlestar Galactica is much less suspenseful when you know what is going to happen.
