Somehow on dating apps my most successful profile line has been “Message me if you want to learn an interesting fact about toast.”

This led to me “researching” a lot of facts about toast and getting deeper and deeper into the bit. Long story short I now run toastfacts.com.

I only have about 7 facts on there right now, but I “discovered” some more good facts last night which I plan to add to the site when I get home.
Cooking the mask ensures that microorganisms on it will die and not pose a risk to the wearer. A mask sitting around for several days can still harbor them in some cases.
IAM is a mental model close to a language. And until you understand that mental model it might as well be Japanese to an English speaker. But once you are able to understand that model crafting extremely fine grained policies becomes a breeze.

> I feel that some of the "tu quoque" responses to GP are fuelled by US nationalism.

Or just fueled by the relatively constant stream of smug "here is yet another reason Europe is better than the US" posts from people who frequently turn out to be speaking from a position of ignorance. There is plenty of nationalism to go around, and it gets tiring.
Yep, that's true. For now there isn't a user interface and doing some youtubes about the API is definitely planned. the API will remain around forever though, and is useful for generative composition today.

Do a checkout and you can see quite a few song files in the examples dir which should be helpful in getting a feel for it. UI should be out in a few months and will be more photogenic for youtube and will also ship with some demo tracks showing how all of the patterns work.

Ask HN: Which features would you want it an online video editor?
With the growth of online video streaming platforms like youtube, we found an urgent need for people to edit their videos to make it into something that grabs people's attention. As attention is what get them views and likes and more views equals more ad based revenue.

Most requested features in an online video editing webapp that we received were-
1) Ability to upload from and upload to youtube directly from the video editing service
2) Remove and Replace video background
3) Adding royalty free video shots in between the video clips
4) Adding free background music
5) ?

Apart from these - What would you guys want in an online video editing platform?
I was ill twice on beef in the UK - and never once in places like France where one eats raw beef with a raw egg on it. I had beef in restaurants twice in several years of living in the UK, and twice I was ill. It was very well done, as well.

English vegetables are served in two forms: raw, boiled to smithereens. I guess I wouldn't have been poisoned by onions, luckily, given those appetizing options.

Now, Waitrose, the pricey British supermarket chain, is absolutely superb, and blows away, yes, Trader Joes and certainly Whole Foods by an exponential factor. You get fresh vegetables and fruit and products from all over the EU, with varietals and country origin listed.

But I'll trade our dangerous onions for your mysterious* meat any day of the week.

* - while I was there a scandal had been discovered: there was horsemeat mixed in with ground beef being sold in supermarkets and served in restaurants. Maybe I'm allergic to horse?
The article makes it unclear, but this feature is available right now for all Nest Aware subscribers (if you have any type of Nest camera, you'll have a Nest Aware subscription). The article mentioned that this feature was "accidentally" available to non-Nest Aware subscribers as well, but it's the same existing feature and not some test of upcoming features.

You can toggle glass break and fire alarm detection on any of your Google Home devices in the Home app, and this includes the old Google Home mini pucks and hubs, as well as new Nest branded minis and hubs.
I see that in general, but if we're wearing N95s specifically to protect against the coronavirus then several days seems like it should be (a) enough and (b) not as hard on the mask?
assuming that data is being inserted continuously at the same rate, periodic full compaction of an lsm tree with an upper bound on time between full compactions is O(n^2). depending on the quantity and distribution of deletes, you can potentially do much better with incremental compaction strategies while still maintaining an upper bound on the delay in processing a delete.
I did not know that feature was still around. I just got a work MacBook after not owning a Mac for years. That was a feature of System 7 - in 1992.
There's no reason you can't run these pots without water (in theory). I don't think you'd damage the heating elements themselves. This is an issue for heating wire like NiChrome where if you put a high current through it, it'll melt. The elements in a slow cooker could probably handle a much higher current than you would normally use. And obviously the elements themselves can withstand the nominal operating current. I'm assuming a slow cooker/crock pot, not a rice cooker. The one I have at home is very very simple, electrically. Rice cookers are a bit more complicated and might be more finnicky because they have to go through some fairly accurate states within a short amount of time (and make assumptions about the level of rice/water in the cooker).

It probably depends if your pot has a thermostatic control or not. Some pots might damage their coating if there is no "load" to sink the heat into. Fancier units might shut off if they detect that they're being run empty. Cheaper pots might put out enough heat that if nothing is in them, they'll damage the non-stick. But if your pot is designed to hit a set temperature, it should be OK regardless of whether there's anything in it.

Anecdote - our milk frother (a cheap Lavazza Mi Moda) has fill levels for heat/foam, but is also clearly thermostatic. The second time you run it (say if you make two cups back to back), it takes much less time to indicate it's finished when it starts from warm. My guess is that it's designed to heat the milk up to a preset temperature (measured using the wall of the chamber) and then it ramps up the whisk for a preset period of time.

I really doubt cheap slow cookers use PID loops to control the temperature. They're normally "bang bang" relay driven - they hit a set temperature and the elements turn off. When the temp decreases they turn on again. Perhaps if there's no load in the cooker they'll keep over/undershooting.

You might be able to put a piece of something like cast iron in there to heat up initially, then when the unit is up to 100C, take it out and replace with the towel/masks. My guess would be you want to avoid an initial thermal runaway more than anything else. Also if you're using a crock pot for covid sterilisation, maybe you don't want to use it for food!
I would have thought the SMT queries would be the most time-consuming part of this, but the authors make a big deal of leveraging Datalog optimzations to drive performance.

Especially given they purposefully don't re-use the SMT context across SMT terms.

Aren't the big SMT solvers already doing a bunch of optimization to allow incremental (push/pop) queries to be fast?

It never stopped reading mail. How do you think searching your inbox or filtering spam work?

In light of this, the rest of your post is pure conspiracy theory nonsense. Google was upfront about the reasons for reading your mail at the beginning. Why should any of that change?

It's worth pointing out that Python 3 thought it important enough to make a backwards incompatible change to separate 'bytes' from 'strings' to effectively get the same result.
In my mind it's still a paywall, it just costs time + attention + privacy.
Thanks for the links, I gave them a look through and some of the most useful ones are buried under poorly named links in other places, when they really should be prominent links on the main website. The material is available and somewhat easier to find than the last time I looked into Red/REBOL but it’s definitely in need of improvement.

Especially https://static.red-lang.org/red-system-specs-light.html - It needs work but it’s a LOT closer to the kind of documentation I’m looking for when starting to learn a language. I found it looking at the third link which looks like an attempt to improve on of the other pages you linked to.

It clarifies much of the remaining confusion I had regarding comments I saw on the internet about how you can just use any REBOL docs to learn Red, by explaining the bootstrapping process, and it does so clearly in the first few paragraphs no less. It’s this kind of writing style where the complexity is gradually built up in layers of understanding is very valuable for some people while learning a new language.

But the under construction docs have some real shocking writing in them. The data types page is pretty bad. “Where most languages have 6-8 base datatypes, Red has almost 50. Many of these have unique, literal forms. “ then a few sentences later “To use Red effectively, you should become familiar with all the datatypes available.” This is definitely not the way to encourage a new user, imagine how a person who has only learned JavaScript or Python is going to feel about Red when they read that page. I would bet that many novice programmers leave that page with the impression that Red is nearly 10 times more complex than the languages they already know.

It’s worth considering the lessons learned by the Rust community while building their documentation. While not every programming language will have Steve Klabnik and Carol Nichols to write tremendous documentation... every programming language can learn at least a little bit from how they built it up the Rust docs and made keeping them up to date an important part of the community’s priorities.

Jeez.

Or maybe we should all learn to be a little more empathetic and how best to work with our co-workers.

If you are going to invest 12+ months to working closely with someone, maybe you could spend 3 minutes reading how to best to work with them.

With all of this said, usually these are better bottom-up then top-down (a manager having reports answer a few questions so the manager can adapt their workflow)
Norway still has no mask mandate and is even recommending against it (similar to other Scandinavian countries). Comparing Norway and France and complaining about mask usage in France is just strange in that context:

Honestly, I'd be happy with a short term and unlimited renewals; you just have to renew it. Shortish base-term of 10 years or so that works as currently, but after that you need to renew every 10 years. Let the special interests that currently lobby to extend copyright just spend that money renewing; don't hold everyone else's stuff hostage from the public domain too. And by forcing them to actually file renewals, the forgotten works in buyouts will slip through to the PD; there will be no questions of "who actually owns these rights" for old works, just check who renewed it.
I recently learned that a number of African cultures used "memory devices" in order to assist in the recall of oral histories. Essentially, positions of beads on an intricately-carved board indicated to the practitioner what to speak next, out of a massive corpus of knowledge. Looking at the amount of background knowledge necessary to make Eurasian written documents intelligible, though, I begin to wonder if the common notion that SoS Africa had no written language before colonialism is inaccurate. In both cases, you have esoteric data recording methodologies that can't be deciphered without essentially already knowing what's being communicated, albeit not structured as presented. Makes you wonder how many other ways of recording history that we, raised in a Eurasian tradition of transcribed alphabets/syllabaries encoding lexical thought, completely overlook because we simply have no concept of recording and conveying thoughts another way.
Oh so that explains huge rise in anti asian racism? Like when people beat up Malaysians or Koreans because they look Chinese? FFS what is wrong with you racists?
In the beginning there was a sort of hierarchy with the addition of modifier keys, it goes cmd, shift, option, control.

Basic commands use the command key with a letter. Adding the shift key usually reverses the command, like cmd-Z in Finder is Undo, cmd-shift-Z is Redo.

The addition of the option key is supposed to add an alternative or extension to the basic command like when you see commands whose text contains an ellipsis (which means that the command will bring up a dialog for more information before executing). Adding the option key can remove the ellipse and just execute the command with the last parameters that were set. In the Finder, cmd-W closes a window, cmd-option-W closes all windows.

Rarely would you find a command that uses all four modifier keys, it's just hard to press them all at the same time.

Of course over the years and the proliferation of apps and developers, these ideas have faded and don't always hold up, but that was the general idea.

I'm plenty opinionated and I've always been comfortable expressing my opinion. It gets perceived differently than when men do the same and people react differently to a woman doing it.

I had other issues rooted in being female. I've concluded that the world typically teaches boys from an early age how to have a public reputation and public relations and girls generally don't get the same info to the same degree. It becomes a self reinforcing problem because a woman behaving "normally" is behaving in a way that is more appropriate for private spaces and personal relationships and the rest of the world will expect that of her.

I've had a really hard time figuring out why I had such an extremely hard time interacting with the public. It took a long time to get any kind of handle on that.
Why don't you cycle 3-4 of them, wearing a different one each day? Viruses won't survive for longer than 3 days inside, so cycling multiple masks would solve the possible contamination issue.
Along the same lines for text navigation and manipulation:

opt + [arrow keys]: To move through text respecting word boundaries.

cmd + [arrow keys]: To move through text respecting line boundaries.

Add shift to either of those and now instead of navigating, you're selecting the text.

opt + delete: deletes full word behind cursor

cmd + delete: deletes full line behind cursor
Interesting, thanks for the correction! I could've sworn that Gmail provided some "we don't scan your email" privacy since the beginning but it sounds like I was confused.
It was obvious. The ads were displayed right next to the messages and we're relevant to the messages being shown. At launch, they prominently described how this worked on the sign up page. https://web.archive.org/web/20040410020148/http://gmail.goog...

To my mind, the biggest privacy violator that doesn't admit it's privacy violations right now is Apple. Even as a non-Apple user, I have my WiFi location slurped up by Apple, and they don't give me any way to opt out. People who use Apple devices have it far worse.
if your concern is corona, there's no need to do any of this for most people, most of the time (i.e., not a front-line worker). the likelihood of getting live corona on the mask is pretty low, and any corona that does get on the mask will die naturally overnight. certain situations like going to a party might warrant it, but in that case, just throw the mask away and use a new one next time.

if you're more worried about other bacteria and viruses, it's a little more relevant, but not much for most of us. despite the endless news coverage, it's just not worth worrying about unless you're often in elevated risk situations, like being a medical worker. just wash your hands occasionally (particularly after situations like going to the bathroom or handling raw meat).
What a unempathic remark. I missed the funeral of my uncle several years ago due to circumstances and the hurt was very real.

I find my mac periodically turns off its WiFi and starts spamming the airwaves on a private channel looking for partners in a protocol nothing else in the house depends on.

I bought one of these UV sanitizer boxes to sanitize my N95s: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B085XZPLVS/ref=ppx_yo_dt...

I'm still not totally certain how well it really works, but I know it works better than those UV wands (you need at least a few minutes of exposure).

It's also neat for a few other things that it's probably healthy to sterilize a bit more frequently (e.g. keys, phone, toothbrush heads).
I don't think the difference is that vast in practice.

What's currently stopping evil actors from exfiltrating data from Google's PII through buying narrowly targeted ads, each time with slightly different targeting, and intersecting these results to build a more detailed picture of people who viewed the ads?
Hey man, I am from the UK and used to live in the states (north east though, not california). Yes, the quality of food in the USA can be VERY good, especially if you shop at places like wholefoods. The problem tends to be with the cheaper food.

In the UK, I would feel safe eating the cheapest chicken from Tesco, Alsdi, Lidl and ASDA (which is owned by Walmart). Would I feel safe eating chicken from the cheaper supermarkets in the USA? Definitely not.

I don't think the UK should be lecturing other countries, and at no point did I say we should.

Also, how dare you insult fish and chips, half and halfs, and fried mars bars :p

Finally, I would just like to point out that I did say I love the USA, I'm looking at moving back (post-covid). It's one of my favourite countries in the world, but I'm surprised at how controversial it is to say that the food isn't the best.
No, I'm really being serious. If someone doesn't answer an email, the reason usually isn't "I'm busy", it's "I don't want to help you".

If the answer is "I'm busy right now and I am not responsible enough to remember all of the people I need to follow up with to at least give them a pointer of who could actually help", then your company is dysfunctional.

I had a similar doubt in my thesis (physics).

I wrote a special chapter where I discussed my results with myself and ended up suggesting someone takes a closer look if interested.

The jury was initially 6 people, 1 refused to review a thesis where the candidate discusses with himself because it breaks tradition. The others were quite happy, with one of them referring to my discussion and thanking me for the time she gained with it and which allowed her to spend more time with friends.

For some small issues it is sometimes better to tell it upfront and highlight hiw genius the rest of the thesis is.

But that is also the default mode. It is not the best way of doing things, but most employees do have to deal with managerial quirks.

If I will be having to deal with those quirks anyway, then the guide is helpful. Otherwise I am learning via trial and error. Sure, ideally the quirks would be fixed, but that is not a likely event.

It gets better. The WHO puts ischaemic heart disease as claiming about 9 million lives a year world wide. Most of which is caused from unhealthy diet, not exercising and smoking. Summing up to piss poor life choices. Yet theres a movement that a doctor telling someone obese to eat right and start walking everyday so they can later jog is fat shaming.

Hypothetically speaking if we were visited by aliens... yea, I dont blame them for not making contact.
> I support unlimited-duration copyright.

Wow. That's an unpopular position around here!

Even among those of us who support copyright and cringe at the advocacy for piracy you often see in these threads, I think there is a lot more support for shortening copyright duration.

Zero copyright facilitates exploitation by certain corporations (telecoms, media giants), while unlimited copyright facilitates exploitation by a different set of corporations (IP-hoarding publishers). Limited duration copyright is the best option.
