If you’re gonna include lyrics from a Bo Burnham song you need to include the best ones:

Good girl

In a straw hat

With her arms out

In a corn field

(spoken) That is a scarecrow

I started arguing about some of these in my head before noticing the labels.

This is only really true if there will never be a need to really learn the code base — which maybe will be true for most devs, it’s hard to tell. But if not it could leave the majority of juniors with a much shallower understanding of the way things work under the hood.

“The Gobbler” is a post-Thanksgiving tradition in my family. Get out the ancient, heavy panini press that is probably 80 years old (I could do a core sample of the accumulated grease and count the rings I guess). As you might assume it contains all of the thanksgiving leftovers. This year my sandwich had a bigass brioche bun between which was crammed:

• turkey
• stuffing
• cranberry sauce
• green beans
• sweet potatoes
• swiss and Gouda cheeses
• chipotle mayo

Add a little butter on the outside and gingerly apply pressure so it doesn’t come apart. After a few minutes you have a several-inch-thick slab of deliciousness.

I should have taken a photo because it was a thing of beauty. Maybe next year.

It’s like click-edging.

Yep, I didn’t know if those were reliable tho or if YouTube had started inserting algorithmic content into playlists yet. And critically, when a playlist ends it should end, not roll right in to other “related” content. And of you’re it’s YouTube-only, so there would be no way to l a playlist that contained other sources.

Yes, I was thinking something YouTube (or long-form media) specific with the purpose of replacing the YouTube algorithm. So for example maybe someone who loves astronomy puts together a playlist about supernovas that include a video from pbs spacetime, Sabine Hossenfelder and kursgesagt. Then he puts together other playlists. Over time you’d recognize this curator’s name and trust them not to point you to garbage.

Maybe it’s time for the return of curated lists. Back in the day (even before the web) there used to be people who organized lists of videos to rent, books to read, etc. why not bring it back in a lemmy channel or some other trusted service. Just curated lists of specific videos.

Damn. TIL.

It’s just a small under-counter system that’s only running to the fridge and a separate spigot at the sink to fill pots with, etc. it was simple to install since my existing tap had enough pressure to push through all of the filters. I’ve never heard of whole-house RO, I think that would use a TON of water and you would definitely need a pump (in addition to a large storage tank).

I discovered this when I put a reverse osmosis system in and wanted to bypass the filter. I needed a $50 plastic plug with an RFID tag in it or else the fridge refused to dispense.

Won’t the corn-growers be ticked off by this?

To do “$500 billion in the US over the next couple of years” they would have to do a deal of this size nearly every day for the next 3 years.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

Lies! The XFree86 project wasn’t formed until ‘94. Nice try, Mata spy!

If it’s any consolation, at least a kilo of coffee is many more servings than a kilo of beef.

It looks like an iPhone. But thinner.

I’m in the US (and in FL no less so it’s routinely 30-38C/80-100F). I moved to my specific house, among other reasons, because it’s about 250M/a quarter mile from a grocery store. I walk there 2x/week and carry back on average about 10kg/20-25 lbs of groceries. Lots of others in my neighborhood do the same, but most of Florida is not built for walking which is incredibly disappointing.

My brain is like having 100 apps and tabs open and my brain constantly hitting alt-tab some random number of times.

Meh.
