I’ve wondered if people’s watch lists are prioritized to be pay videos. The first time I saw this I wondered why my watch list was mostly pay videos: I must have misunderstood something. So I created it again with only free shows. A year later it was mostly pay
I like that, “don’t skip gut day”
Fiber is too hard to explain.
My teen is an athlete and very much into muscle building. He tracks macros, eats more calories than the rest of us (and still lost weight as a freshman with unlimited meal plan), and always looks for more sources of lean protein or omega 3’s.
But when I try to explain the importance of fiber, “I don’t get constipated and don’t need to shit more so why should I care?” Maybe it’s my problem not knowing how to reply to that in a way that communicates the importance
It’s sad that my first reaction was “are we sure we’re posting “scientific” results from the us govt?”, and my second reaction was was “phew, 15 years old so it should be true”
But it is old data and I’d like to know if anything has changed.
So for me personally I eat more veggies although still not enough and the bread and cereal I eat talks a lot about fiber. Are there any such trends and are they enough to make any difference?
Sure but the point was that nat allows you to choose private addresses that are by default not routed: the NAT becomes the only way internet traffic can reach your devices
Just wait until the day ipv6 is finally adopted readily and we’ll have this same argument about whether IPv6 addresses are a security feature when a /64 is too big a range to scan
Back in my day, that was the assumption: every device would get its own public IP. Now get off my lawn
In the us, Tesla has a much higher reputation for chargers that actually work when you need them. Usually the credit goes to better sensors and more responsive service, but an underrated factor is larger charging stations with many more chargers. One failing of twelve is less impact than one failing of four, for example.
As yet another anecdote showing how regressive/spiteful US treatment of EVs is …… over the summer I saw an article about a new vendor winning contract for New Jersey rest areas. Part of the contract was to replace 12 charger Tesla supercharger rest areas with “equivalent” four charger that cost 20¢/KwH more
Yeah I think it’s mainly North America (us?) that’s the problem.
However the standards process worked, it created poor choices and was not effective. Twice. At least we’re finally coalescing on a de facto standard, and NACS is better than the previous two choices
But yeah the app situation is bad. While I appreciated using chargers that use my cars internal ID, and just worked, that clearly doesn’t scale. Now that we’re trying to scale out to general use so we really need credit card readers instead of a plethora of apps.
Not requiring an app was one of the prerequisites for federal incentive money, but the short-sighted administration retracted that
Sprint is an interesting example because I believe regulators did block previous merger attempts on exactly those grounds.
It’s yet another case subject to the whims of whatever administration is in charge, and we’re stuck with the fallout
Fwiw I like ll beans. It’s quite expensive but really durable
Home Assistant hs communities to share exactly that
My similar script has a very different goal: at midnight if someone is still up, it dims the family room light and announces on speaker”hey kids, it’s time for bed”
Isn’t there a movie with that premise? They survive but have to watch over a few months as radiation in the northern hemisphere works its way south. They’re already dead but have to wait months for it to happen
It could probably do a decent job generating those scripts, given adequate prompting and a few cycles of feedback from you. But it’s almost never a final result. It’s still on you to know what it’s doing and whether it meets requirements, whether it’s sufficiently performant and scalable, whether it’s resilient and flexible. Most importantly it’s up to you to ensure good quality that future you can read and maintain.
The east coast. When I lived in New York, I thought we could do better on our own. Now that I’m near Boston, I know New England could. But you know what? We really have a lot in common all the way down to DC, and the DC suburbs of Virginia.
Acela is not just a transportation system connecting us all, but a result of our shared values, wanting a better connection. We’re a huge percentage of the population and the economy. We’re mostly “donor” states instead of “takers” so our economy would be solid. We’re mostly “blue” except New Hampshire and Pennsyltucky, seeing the value of good education, caring about our citizens quality of life. And yes we’re mostly the parts of the country built out long ago so have in common many traditional town centers and relatively fewer car centered hellscapes. Many parts of the east coast have been derided as “European”: let’s embrace that
Complexity or “complexity”? A couple months ago I had to accept a merge from a junior developer that is now flagged as the code with the highest complexity in my code base. It was in Groovy and he must have just discovered closures. Instead of breaking up the code in nice modular testable blocks, it was massive methods hundreds of lines long, and the most egregious use of closures
Fun story time: I did that in high school. My best friend at the time (and still) and I were in several of the same classes and would do homework together. We’d work out the answers, then write down the “same” ones. But he would always embellish, be much wordier. He got so pissed when I consistently got better grades by writing the same answers but more concisely
My biggest objection is unit tests. LLMs can actually be a useful tool for populating out unit tests. But of you let them run amuck, you get vast quantities of tests that add no value but now you have to maintain in perpetuity
This one junior developer didn’t notice the ai brought in a whole new mocking tool for a few tests and didn’t understand my objection.
I’m not entirely sure why all the hate : Jenkins can do the most things the must ways. And yes, it’s so much nicer defining a pipeline with a fully functional language than an assortment of yaml files
Actually that was my response when my company wanted to start using Gitlab ci. It only has one way of doing things so you can probably get a faster start if you had no ci, were a small company, and had simple builds. However we’re over 4,000 builds in many languages from 12 year old monoliths to modern micro services and containers…… and way too much godawful JavaScript. Do you want the quick and simple tool great for a small startup or the all powerful kitchen sink of tools?
