Too bad it still can’t figure out how to do dead ass simple things the old assistant had no problem with, like setting a reminder or alarm

If it’s in a sealed plastic bag it doesn’t go stale until long after it would have molded on the counter. I refrigerate mine because I buy Costco sized sliced bread and it takes me 2 months to go through it. If you toast your bread, the staleness is unnoticeable

A lot of these things only need to be refrigerated to preserve flavor, not to stop spoilage. If you go through a bottle of ketchup in 3 months there is little benefit to refrigerating it, if it takes 3 years for you to finish it, it should probably stay in the fridge.

Some peanut butter brands require refrigeration to prevent mould. Others recommend it because it stops the oils from separating. Brands like Kraft don’t require any refrigeration at all

Refrigerating oil will stop it from going rancid, but I’ve only ever needed to do this with used deep frier oil

Honey is just a hell no in the fridge

$0.30 + 1.8-2.6% (up to 3.5% if they take Amex)

You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100

10 days without food hits differently when you are hiking through mountains 16 hours a day vs sitting on your couch

Right? it screams wayyyy pre-y2k but MySQL was only release in 95

will it become a relic of the past?

Probably

why YEAR in the first place, who would actually make use of it?

Accounting systems in the 90s that needed to squeeze out every drop of performance imaginable

I expect it won’t

The year datatype is a 1 byte integer, but the engine adds/subtracts 1900 to the value under the hood and has special handling for zero.

If you need to store more than 255 years range, you can use a 2 byte integer, which doesn’t need that special handling under the hood, because with 2 bytes you can store 65000+ years

Especially because a 15% tip is almost twice as good as it was 10 years ago due to rising food costs

There are like 10,000 different solutions, but I would just recommend using what’s built in to python

If you have multiple versions installed you should be able to call python3.12 to use 3.12, etc

Best practice is to use a different virtual environment for every project, which is basically a copy of an existing installed python version with its own packages folder. Calling pip with the system python installs it for the entire OS. Calling it with sudo puts the packages in a separate package directory reserved for the operating system and can create conflicts and break stuff (as far as I remember, this could have changed in recent versions)

Make a virtual environment with python3.13 -m venv venv the 2nd one is the directory name. Instead of calling the system python, call the executable at venv/bin/python3

If you do source venv/bin/activate it will temporarily replace all your bash commands to point to the executables in your venv instead of the system python install (for pip, etc). deactivate to revert. IDEs should detect the virtual environment in your project folder and automatically activate it

Maybe a riff on lutris? Not sure why though

Yes. With a custom gnome shell fork.

Their summer release will have the new desktop environment they have been working on (Cosmic) which will be a big point of differentiation

Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget

English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”

It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

To add: Bluetooth and WiFi both use the 2.4ghz spectrum. They are on the same chipset because otherwise you would need two antennas

The plaintiff(s) in a class action usually gets a pretty decent chunk - substantially more than the class members because they are the one’s doing all the work on the class’s behalf

The payout for class members depends on the number of people who sign up, which generally depends on the burden of proof. If you need to provide a receipt the payout is generally much higher because it gets split up fewer ways. I’ve gotten class action payouts as high as $300 when all I had to do was dig up through my bank records to find out the date of a transaction, and as low as $2, when all I had to do was click a link and enter my email address

A couple of them fall into the “technically true, but misleading territory” - I’m sure the person handing this out couldn’t identify which though - broken clock right twice a day and all

“Can you reverse effects” - no you can’t make your immune system forget how to work. Probably not what they are going for here though.

“Risk of […] or other side effects?” - yeah the vaccines generally give people a headache and short lived fever symptoms

“Have there been deaths?” - The astrazeneca vaccine had like a 0.000001% mortality risk (more likely to die driving to the pharmacy), and was pulled in many countries because that was deemed too dangerous. Person handing out the flyer has likely been parroting “mRNA vaccines cause blood clots” nonsense for years while being completely unaware that AZ was a traditional viral vector vaccine

“Are there doctors recommending NOT taking it” - yeah, there are many notable anti-vaccine doctors, what they typically have in common is they earned their doctorate in computer science, social studies, or some other field that gives them no qualifications to talk about immunology

They aren’t being made anymore - people are just reselling old hoarded stock

She has north of 3m in sponsorship deals right now, and we can only assume that number will go up in the WNBA

They aren’t talking about system administrators. They are talking about 3rd party software presenting a privilege escalation prompt (administrator access) and changing your default browser without you knowing about it
