An idea for the fries: an air fryer would let you make a small batch of fries without having to use a lot of oil for deep frying.

No. The cache is at the block layer, not the file/directory layer. So the filesystem will look up the directory structure, which will be cached.

Can you ctrl-click and drag to select a rectangular area? That works for me in Gnome terminal in that situation, if I'm understanding you correctly.

Another approach that has been working great for me: https://www.webalert.me . This app runs on your phone, you can configure it to check once an hour if any content on a page changes.

If vendors agreed to a common prefix on all secret key values then it'd be easy for everyone to add checks, to everything. Something like "_SECRET88_". Of course, then your secret key checker would need to build that string

There's another approach that might work better. Instead of sampling the mouse position every 100ms, you'd save off all the mouse positions, and then send the latest batch every 100ms. The other side would then replay the exact p

A single TW of solar would produce a TW for every hour that the sun is shining, so it could be 3,000 TWh for every TW installed. Obviously the exact value depends on the insolation.

A 50 kWh car battery charging to 80% in 15 minutes would be a 160 kW average load. That's going to need high voltage or a thick cable. Is that going to be practical? Also I wonder what the power connection to a busy all electric refu

Two users don't need to use the same STUN server in order for udp hole punching to worj, so choosing randomly from a list might be a good way to go.

The bottleneck is usually RAM. It looks like his device has 4GB, which is similar to what a cell phone has. It doesn't take much manufacturer-supplied bloatware, bad drivers, or background processes to use up that much RAM but a Chrom

Another way to simulate the behavior of this tool, if I'm understanding you correctly, is with software flow control, usually mapped as ctrl-s for XOFF and ctrl-q for XON. That lets you pause output while you look at it, and then resu

I'd love to have a tool to pipe into that removes low-entropy content automatically, perhaps with machine learning. For example, last week I was grepping through some security logs looking for anomalous logins. There were a bunch of o

You can make the profit sharing bonus proportional to salary. So if there is 100k available for bonuses and your quarterly payroll is $1M, then pay everyone a 10% bonus. You still have to set salaries correctly but that's a problem wh

My homemade photo organization software has the tags as trees and it works great for exactly the example you've given, as well as "plant" being a parent of "flower" which is a parent of "rose". In addition

I've got a laptop from 2004 that still works fine. It has 1.5 GB of RAM and a spinning 60GB hard drive. It runs the latest Xubuntu, which is getting security updates. Android should take a similar path. Mainline the kernel drivers,

Your father's idea is a good one. Here is a thermal heat pit which is being used to store heat for the winter: https://stateofgreen.com/en/partners/ramboll/solutions/world...

Just for laughs someone should make a 39 inch drive with modern technology. Looks like a PMR drive would get 338 TB per platter, so a 25 platter arrangement like in the photo would be 9.7 PB.

A workaround: To force search results in English when not signed in, go to https://www.google.com/en . This adds a hl=en parameter to your queries. You can change the search provider URL in the browser to add the hl parame

What sort of opportunities would open up if this sort of connection were ubiquitous? I could see netbooting your desktop to avoid having to buy a hard drive. Also instead of downloading large game assets they could just stream on demand. (

If you have a lot of data then a cheaper choice would be to put a raspberry pi at your mom's house, add a few external drives, forward a port, and send backups with restic.

There's a book roughly on that topic called "How to Invent Everything" that I enjoyed, but I'm not sure I remember enough of it now to be of any good, so I'm going to be sure to grab it before going back in time. Al

Someone shared this video yesterday on the Boston Dynamics post, which has the same intonation and general feel as the encabulator videos. I don't have enough experience to know if it's an homage or if lots of sales videos still

I call that a "gnu readline" interface. I suppose you could also call it a "zork" interface, especially if there is a lot of state that can be navigated. Compare with "curses" for an ascii-art gui like alsami

It might be possible to add self-driving features as an aftermarket upgrade. My 2013 model car already has drive-by-wire features (for automatic parallel parking), so it just needs more cameras and a replacement CPU. Heck, as a last resor

They've also been raising money ($850M in February) so they don't necessarily have to be using profit from paid launches.

Pixel 3 user. Everything works great as far as I can tell, the default 1px brush is quite fine which left me wanting to be able to pinch to zoom in to work on the finer details.

Yes! Publish them somewhere. Perhaps github or gitlab if you'd like others to also contribute.

From what I can see, the iPhone timer app is rounding to the nearest second. For positive numbers that can be accomplished with either Math.round(t) or Math.floor(t+0.5).
