december 2010 by domnit
This question is the source of lots of confusion and debate. There are at least nine cuts of beef which are identified as Delmonico, and they are variously "cut from the chuck", "cut from the rib", or "cut from the sirloin". To add to the confusion, some common Delmonico Steaks are boneless while others are bone-in.

Maciej Ceglowski on "folksonomy"
august 2009 by domnit
"I find this symptomatic of the general process. One set of people does interesting things without a lot of fanfare, and another builds an elaborate intellectual superstructure on top without adding value. It's a kind of minor intellectual parasitism whose main victim appears to be the English language."
