Sadly not colorblind friendly

I think this is clearly a matter of preference. Shorter variable (or rather, appropriately short variables for the context) for me are easier to recognize and disambiguate. They take up fewer tokens, so to speak. When I see `p.Age` I don't have to go back and look at the beginning of the loop because I just read that line and I remember it.

I'm actually quite interested in your N paragraphs about why the category is written the way it is, and especially about the principles under which it is (or was meant to be) effective..

Frankly it's something I've always wondered about, but as mostly a spectator of these kinds of discussions I've never seen anyone explain. Like a lot of folks, from my surface-level knowledge it seems arbitrary and likely meaningless. But so much so that it feels like I must be missing something.

Or any chance of a link to your previous cpmments on the topic?

I had a similar thought, along the lines of https://xkcd.com/538/

I could imagine that in practice you end up with a bunch of vulnerable people submitting themselves to experimentation by powerful companies, which is an unhealthy dynamic.

I believe this is required by code in some places, depending on the location of the switch. Mine is inset into the counter top, so plenty of opportunity for water to pool around it which I think would rule out an electrical switch.

I've always understood the increase in diagnoses to be more about increased awareness than about a change in human behavior.

E.g. it looks like autism wasn't defined as a spectrum in the DSM until either 1994 or 2000: https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/evolution-autism-diagnosis....

My local big orange store sells both, there's a green pile and a KD pile.

I have studied the properties of ketchup extensively at burger joints all over, and in my expert opinion Wikipedia has it correct here.

This is why ketchup barely flows when you invert the bottle, until you start banging on it and it gets moving and it all comes out at once (thinned by the shear stress of your banging and gravity)

I want something like this for accurate room presence detection in my house (for lights etc) that doesn't require dozens of PIR sensors or similar.

My dream is that the lights in my long hallway gradually dim up in front of me and back down behind me as I walk.

What is the connection between cookies and prostitution?

I think pants would work, if you put them in legs first.

I suppose Flash could be considered a notable exception there.

Summer breaks for teachers are much shorter than for students, especially when you take into account required continuing education and professional development.

This was a puzzler on Car Talk at least once. There are more like it: https://www.cartalk.com/radio/puzzler

It's also possible they they're correct, and the average user of today has much less need for verbatim searches than the average user when the search engine was first designed.

Many folks I know used WFH as an opportunity to move away from the city where you can get more space and quiet for less money.

Linked from the post: https://www.anfr.fr/maitriser/equipements-radioelectriques/l...

"These limit values result from the work of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, ICNIRP. In 1998, the ICNIRP ruled in view of the state of available scientific knowledge and only retained the proven effects of exposure to waves, in particular the heating of tissues."

The regulation specifies a test that measures frequencies up to only 10GHz, which is far below ionizing radiation frequencies.

I've always used ncdu for this. It also allows deleting files/directories for when you're trying to figure out how to free up space.

For folks interested in the standard process, I highly recommend this channel: https://youtube.com/@h2omechanic. Very informative.

It's not unreasonable to ask for a better understanding of the applicable law(s) in a post about a lawsuit.

I think those "downtown canyons" are likely to be the places where wifi information helps the most, so that would be my guess.

For those wondering, from the article it looks like he wasn't aware of the manual door release (https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_au/GUID-7A32EC0...).

Could be hydration related. Lower ABV drinks contain more water relative to the amount of alcohol you're drinking.

An alternative read is that the poster is trying to discourage further physical threats, doxxing, and other abusive behavior they're receiving for doing their jobs, by appealing to the bad actors' self-interest.

Reading a bit futher, the total for the program comes to almost 2 million which seems heavier than the per-award number.

I think it depends on your threat model. For my personal accounts, I'm more concerned about the risk from badly-managed auth than law enforcement. So from that standpoint, using an established big tech company makes sense. Other people may place different weights on various threats.

I've had pretty good results with Google Lens in the past, but occasional misses as well. I'll have to check if this fills the gaps.

Unless they get sued by an unhappy landlord

What do you imagine that would look like?
