You and I both. I have nostalgia from years of using it in grad school for R. I found Kate is pretty close, but NPP runs fine in Bottles.

Aww, thanks!

Go to Settings>User Tags and ensure “Enable User Tags” is enabled.

You can. Tap on their username to view their profile, click the three dots menu in the upper left, then tap “edit tag”.

Alternately and much faster, long press on a username and the resultant menu also has the option. I didn’t know that until today!

Figs. Straight figs. They’re delicious, they sell for a decent price because finding ripe figs at the supermarket is practically impossible, and they’re easily propagated by cuttings, which sell for a decent amount of money.

I love figs so much.

Next is corn, but not sweet corn. Field corn , what’s used to make corn flour, masa, grits, etc. there are many varieties, like Blue corn, purple corn, and red corn, all of which are healthy and taste fantastic. You can use purple corn to make chicha morada, a Peruvian drink. Just keep in mind the kernels are seeds and therefore representative of the two parent plants. If you plant different types together, like blue and red, and they cross pollinate, the resultant corn kernels will be a variety of blue, red, and hybrid blue/red.

Can confirm. I’ve spent several hours the last few weeks teaching a friend’s 24 year old daughter basic computer literacy on a W11 system. None of her friend group could help because they know just as little. When we started, she didn’t know how to shut down or reset the system.

Dude, it’s the opposite problem. Where do you think the sunlight goes when it hits a solar panel? It sucks it all up! If we set up too many solar panels, they’re going to use up all the sunshine and cool the globe until we have another ice age. Big brother petroleum has been saving us!

It’s “full self driving (supervised)” last I checked.

I still remember the rage I felt when I first realized that the United States justice system is fundamentally adversarial. Prosecuting attorneys don’t want to find the truth of the matter. The build the strongest case possible and it’s on the defendant to prove they’re wrong. Attorneys are supposed to take into account all available evidence, but have no obligation to seek additional information that could exonerate the defendant, even if it’s clear such information exists.

It’s absolutely fucked.

OMG this is great. Thanks for the recommendation!

It’s also a great game if you like solving complicated puzzles. Last I knew, there are some that are still unsolved.

There is at least one TV application that doesn’t support local streaming without first logging into Plex’s servers. I have an LG tv and it’ll hang at the loading screen, then error out if I don’t have Internet connectivity. I love the TV but LG as a company sucks. I wouldn’t buy it again.

100% right on for me. It took me years, YEARS, to get my mother to where she would check if USB peripherals were plugged in before asking me to come over and find out why it was broken. Even the occasional slight complications with Plex get her to where she doesn’t use it for months unless I fix it for her. Jellyfin just ain’t happening with her.

Not a one. I am disappoint.

Super solid vehicles. I suspect these and the diesel Toyota Hilux will likely be amongst the scant archaeological evidence of the anthropocene.

I have mast cell issues, so a bit similar. I still get the occasional food flare up, but just giving my guts a break works wonders.

I was born on January 1st, whichever year before 2000 that I first click on.

I intermittent fast the majority of days and have done so for nearly the last decade. I have a chronic illness that affects my GI tract, among other things, and it helps a lot.

Not getting hangry is a huge perk. Once my flight got stuck for hours in a small town airport with no food nearby. I was watching people get so weird about not eating for a few hours, but I was able to just be okay.

You’re spot on regarding how AI operates.

AI is stupid story time!

I recently helped a friend with a self-hosted VPN problem. He had been using a free trial of Gemini Pro to try to fix it himself but gave up after THREE HOURS. It never tried to help him diagnose the issue, but instead kept coming up with elaborate fixes with names that suggested they were known issues, like The MTU Traffic Jam, The Packet Collision Quandary, and, my favorite, The Alpine Ridge Controller Trap. Then it would run him through an equally elaborate “fix”. When that didn’t work, it would use the failure conditions to propose a new, very serious sounding pile of bullshit and the process would repeat.

I fixed it in about fifteen minutes, most of that time spent undoing all the unnecessary static routing, port forwarding, and driver rollbacks it had him do. The solution? He had a typo in the port number in his peer config.

I can’t deny that LLMs are full of useful knowledge. I read through its output and all of its suggestions absolutely would have quickly and efficiently fixed their accompanying issue, even the thunderbolt/pcie bridging issue, if the real problem had been any of them. They’re just garbage at applying that information.

I would be shocked if he cared. It’s just not amongst his concerns.
