I don't get it. Screw worms devouring animals alive is extremely painful, so we should eradicate them? The process of any animal eating another is basically always excruciating and fucked up.

We should give people tax breaks if they vote.

I was interested in the source for 38 here:

Using mild soap on well-seasoned cast-iron cookware will not damage the seasoning.[37] This is not because modern soaps are gentler than older soaps.[38]

It was just an article that said

Many sources explain that soap is OK because today’s dish soap (like our favorite from Mrs. Meyer's) is gentler than it used to be. That may be true, but it’s not really the point. Once your pan is well seasoned, a little dish soap isn’t going to make a difference.

Pretty sad excuse for a source. Not even sure what that's supposed to mean. Why is that not the point?

AFAIK the issue was soap used to contain lye which would destroy the seasoning. That's a huge difference from modern soap.

Why would they even default to talking about volume here anyway. Makes no sense.

Hmm, I never heard this misconception before, so for me it was pretty unsurprising. Cooking meat at extremely hot temperatures causes it to lose moisture.

Because I want to read it?

Edit: oh, oh I see.

What's the name of the story?

I know, and all the options look pretty bad IMO. That also doesn't fix UX problems.

They deleted the fact that they are a metasearch engine

The diff you linked to has the new text of

Our search results also include anonymized API calls to all major search result providers worldwide

You're being very disingenuous. Actually, no - your statement above is flat out wrong.

I tried SearXNG but the UI/UX was so shitty that I'd honestly rather pay for Kagi. Lots of people love it because it's open source and are willing to 100% look past all UI/UX problems, which is a very common problem with open source in general.

Also, the actual quality of the results was garbage compared to Kagi.

Those people are dumb and weird.

People putting out buckets of candy for Halloween instead of handing it out at the door. No more social interaction or tradition. Just grab free candy and go.

 

AFAIK when you log in to Proton, you send them your password, they do the standard hashing and checking against the hash stored in their database, and if it matches them they let you log in by sending you a token of some sort.

If the your password is your encryption key, and if at some point Proton needs your plaintext password in order for you to log in, then doesn't that mean they still have a way to access your data? They could take the plaintext password and decrypt everything in your account without you knowing, right?

 

I know bike tires will lose pressure in colder seasons because the air temp causes the pressure to drop, but is the inverse true? Does bike tire pressure go up in summer due to heat?

If so, do I need to deflate the tires a bit in summer? Do bike tires ever explode because of a temperature change?

 

Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn't have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it's kind of necessary, but this is not one of them.

Restaurants have had the same size single serving packets for sugar, salt, and pepper for decades now and those are paper, which is much more environmentally friendly. It's even better for usability! With paper, I don't need to go find my scissors like I do for TWW's plastic packets.

I asked TWW if they would consider using paper instead, but got a generic reply that they'll bring it up, but evidently nothing has been done about this.

Is anyone else as disappointed as I am with their use of plastic packets? I care a lot about having clean water for my coffee, and I care just as much about not polluting the rest of the world because of it.

 

This might seem obviously "yes" at first, but consider a method like foo.debugRepr() which outputs the string FOO and has documentation which says it is meant only to be used for logging / debugging. Then you make a new release of your library and want to update the debug representation to be **FOO**.

Based on the semantics of debugRepr() I would argue that this is NOT a breaking change even though it is returning a different value, because it should only affect logging. However, if someone relies on this and uses it the wrong way, it will break their code.

What do you think? Is this a breaking change or not?

 

I haven't played any Baldur's Gate games before but I've heard so much about this game that I'm going to buy it.

However, before I start, I always wonder about this: some games allow you to unlock any weapon at some point in the game, and if you miss one in some quest you can always go back. If you accidentally sell one you can buy it back or forge a new one again, or have it respawn. If you want some other class you can switch later.

Other games are not like that, and if you screw up or aren't aware of [full in the blank] then you can't unlock something.

What's the story with BG3? Do I need to be careful and plan before going on missions?

 

Or is this just a coincidence? Any other elements with the symbol as the full word?
