The good thing about Modernist Cuisine is that it goes deep into some niche topics (gelling and hydrocolloids, food safety, etc etc), so if you like that kind of thing (and crazy photography of sliced in half stuff), it's great. In ter

Maybe you should add "distills" to the title? As this is about installing Ollama to grab the 7b or 14b R1-Qwen-distills, not "R1".

Yes I can confirm it's exactly that. Basically Apple made a new "safe" API for screensavers (via .appex) but is only using it internally. 3rd party screensavers must still use the old unsafe API (that uses plugins, so unsaf

Sure, sorry I left that part out. The Académie tried to codify what was used at the time (which varied a lot) to try and create a standard, but that's why there's so many exceptions to the rules everywhere : they went with "t

No, like parent says, with many things in French, grammar and what we call "orthographe" is based on usage. And what's accepted tends to change over time. What's taught in school varies over the years too, with a large t

The sad thing about not remembering windows is that if you use spaces, you also never quite know where things will launch again on restart. I'm not even sure there's a definite pattern. Mail mostly goes into the right place, but s

To be fair, most built in wallpapers in macOS do have a day/night version (for example Sonoma), or multiple versions with sunrise/day/sunset/night (Ventura, Monterey, Big sur). Apple does call them Dynamic backgrounds an
