Also, not as granular, but instead of the + suffix, add a dot in a weird place. So n.ame@gmail.com or nam.e@gmail.com . Many SMTP servers respect periods as differentiating emails, so services can't delete them. It doesn't help yo

There are lots of ways to do this. Postfix is nice but a little heavy. The simplest and most functional way I've found is https://github.com/0xERR0R/mailcatcher since all it does is forward the emails. You can eve

I've grown to really rely on R pipes, it's just how I like thinking about problems with small short lambdas. I wish python had better support (and better lambdas, without typing out 'lambda' and with tuple arguments) but

I saw the same thing. I watched the video and they seemed to choose the 4 primary pigments to be close to CMYK, but I was also surprised they didn't make a lookup table for other CMYK pigment alternatives. Seemed like it wouldn't

I'm pretty sure it is using pure DNS recursion, so if you ask for abc.google.com, the pi itself will ask the com TLD DNS server for google.com's DNS server, then go and ask google what abc.google.com's IP address is So you&#x

Yes and it's actually a sensitive test for fit. If you get fog then air is leaking out unfiltered, so when you breathe in, it's also not filtering that part. It's imperfect bc you can have gaps around your chin which won'

On older kindles at least, they had time not date. If you keep it off wifi(so manually copy the books from the manage Kindle page), your local copy never expires. It still returns for the next person but you can read it later

On my phone so can't respond fully but if you select the <video> element in chrome and Firefox, you can control the .playbackRate attribute. Extensions can be useful but also abused, this is simple enough to do with a bookmarklet

my problem with non-fiction TTS (or at least the non-fiction I read) is it often involves diagrams or figures and that really doesn't work with TTS, sadly. But histories are nice

For a technical audience, I would look at some TTS (text to speech) programs especially by google and IBM. It's definitely robotic and nothing like a nice narrator but audiobooks are amazing regardless. And your mind actually starts fi

Cool yeah that makes sense, makes total sense for ML where you just need to run over epochs, less clear for other workloads. After looking around I thinking more about CRIU/docker suspend. The google stars aligned and I found this htt

Oh I didn't see much in Nimbo with a quick glance but reading more closely > We immediately resume training after interruptions, using the last model checkpoint via persistent EBS volume. Makes sense, just save checkpoints to disk.

I personally like ibm tts slightly more than Google although it is more expensive. I think Google, but definitely other startups also allow you to train the model to be closer to your voice. Since you might have many recordings of yourself

My work uses GCP not AWS so I've been experimenting with google cloud run (it's actually parallelizing R code so need the docker container infra). My only problem is that I have very bursty useage and the auto-scaling is too slow.

Can you say more, I'm curious. Is it automated in some way during web browsing, remembering to copy to a folder when you enjoyed it enough, or do you use a reading app/e-reader to read them so they're already downloaded
