Looks like you are in the market for a butler.

Especially your last point will, IMO, not be possible for a long time.

"...admin through a brittle straw." :D That's exactly what it feels like.
Re:Unit Tests as Documentation on Friday October 18, 2024 @03:55AM (#41877238)
For one narrow definition of documentation, yes.

I'm pretty sure our end-users would get no value out of reading the unit tests in the code of the application they are using.

Does this not change who is responsible for the data shared with Google?

With this the owner of the host is sending the scripts collecting data, where before it was Googles servers.

Make biochar, there are many guides on the interwebs. Add continuously to you compost bin along with the normal stuff you put in there. When the compost is done, add it to the garden.

How is the results from the Darktable conversion? Are you able to share the script?

Thank you! This has been my main headache with docker. I'll switch to podman at home.

Yes. I did. She have now been my girlfriend for around six years.
I hope it won't change. But they can make watching without an account less desirable; less bandwidth, more ads, no access to newly uploaded videos, first 30s. free, etc.
No. Not now. But that could change.

Thank you for that link. I tried manually setting up a VPN for my phone. It didn't work. After deleting my old wg0.conf (and adding the DNS to the client) it worked.

I want that read/write/space-optimized triangle prominently featured in every languages documentation, filled in with the different data stuctures from that language.

Need quick reads? Use Y. Quick writes? Use X. Etc.

Why? It's not exactly "survival of the fittest" but more like "survival of the good enoughs". If there is no pressure, it probably will not be improved.
Re:When We Eat, or Don’t Eat, May Be Critical for Health on Wednesday July 25, 2018 @08:51AM (#17608832)
So it's not just "listen to your body" it's more like "learn to listen to the specific right signals that your body is whispering very, very softly while yelling for more sugar". Is that right?

I'm sorry. This is horrible advice. In fact I would not call it advice at all. Basically you are just saying "do the right thing" without specifying what "the right thing" actually is.

Re:When We Eat, or Don’t Eat, May Be Critical for Health on Wednesday July 25, 2018 @04:46AM (#17607798)
Why would unpredictability be good? If you eat at the same time your body starts preparing to digest the food before you eat it, making for a faster, better digestion of the food.
Re:When We Eat, or Don’t Eat, May Be Critical for Health on Wednesday July 25, 2018 @04:42AM (#17607777)
But "you need to read up on healthy foods/workout routines" is something completely different from "listen to your body".

The two statements are similar in one way, though: Completely useless as advice that will get people healthier. "listen to your body" will get people to eat what they wan't. "you need to read up on healthy foods/workout routines" will get people to read all sorts of bad advice. Like, for example: "listen to your body".

Re:When We Eat, or Don’t Eat, May Be Critical for Health on Wednesday July 25, 2018 @03:59AM (#17607599)
But "listen to your body" is exactly "eat whatever you feel like eating"!

Eating sugar releases dopamine. Is that not my body telling me it's good?

Re:When We Eat, or Don’t Eat, May Be Critical for Health on Wednesday July 25, 2018 @03:45AM (#17607539)
"...the only rule for a healthy lifestyle is: Listen to your body" and "Don't follow any dogmatic approach!" really don't belong together.

Also if it was as easy as "Listen to your body" do you think we would be having all these obesity problems now?

And broccoli sprouts! Don't forget the broccoli sprouts!
