Why are fruit special though? Leaves and roots are also part of a plant, so why would a tomato not be a vegetable, but lettuce (leaf) and carrot (root) get exemptions?

What exactly is a vegetable, by your definition?

As others point out, vegetable is a culinary term; fruit is a botanical and culinary term.

But will he do the Fandango?

On low end CPUs you can max out the CPU before maxing out network—if you want to get fancy, you can use rsync over an unencrypted remote shell like rsh, but I would only do this if the computers were directly connected to each other by one Ethernet cable.

I have one, it’s been great.

That said, “exactly what the problem is” isn’t always the same as telling you the solution. I had a “misfire on cyl #3” error or something like that, which can be a number of things. Replacing all the coils and plugs myself was probably still cheaper than taking it to the shop though!

I wonder what the effective range is if it’s charging at every stop (obviously depends on tons of factors).

Busses are a neat use case for electric vehicles in this regard.

Since casting JF to a Chromecast requires that it be resolvable by Google’s DNS (or at least, it used to be that way I think), here’s a fun trick to get it working: point your public DNS record to your private IP. It’s apparently not always supported by your DNS provider, but it works great for me (namecheap).

No need to expose your JF instance over the Internet this way, and no need for complicated DNS interception stuff with your router.

You may need to have SSL certs for casting, not sure.

*Turmeric. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen someone forget the first R I’d have like three nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but still kinda interesting.

Good on CO. I’m in California and not eligible — I hope we do the same and/or the WA-OR-CA vaccine pact that’s been mentioned elsewhere comes to the rescue.

I’ve honestly never understood people who feel the need to “replace” Spotify. … Spotify has never made sense for my use-case.

I don’t know how to say this, but…you have extremely uncommon use-cases:

…during those times, my phone is either fully turned off (so I’ll use an MP3 player), or it’s in Airplane Mode.

Many people listen to music on stereos and don’t necessarily want a device plugged in, so

I just download the music I like to my device and listen to it via VLC.

either doesn’t work or is substantially less convenient than e.g. casting from a phone.

Not hating on your setup at all, but it’s very niche, in my experience.

The think the objection is that this is specifically targeted at women, and it’s something that someone might be self conscious about.

“Free coffee to shortest/tallest/skinniest/fattest man” would be also be offensive IMHO, because it’s singling out people for a trait for which they maybe don’t want to be singled out.

Crude humor is great, if all parties are in on the joke; I believe the point that parent was making was that all parties are not necessarily in on the joke.

I once took a Lyft and the push alert was, “Look for Jesus in a white Toyota Camry.”

Some would call the former command cat abuse.

In short, unless you want the contents of a file printed to stdout (or multiple files concatenated), the command can probably be written without cat, instead using the filename as an argument (grep pattern file) or IO redirection (cmd < file).

Stylistics and readability are another thing though.

I think parent is referring to Merkle trees.

scolding hot metal

I like the mental imagery — it’s not scalding hot, no, the metal is actively chastising you.

Classic CS major, making an off-by-one(hundred years) error ;)

I have some bad new for you about Linux…

Did the developer use any version control though? SCCS has been around since the early 70s, RCS and CVS since the 80s. The tools definitely existed.

Also, it was a single dev, which makes SCM significantly simpler!

No doubt related to Johnson noise.

Yeah, but do they like Huey Lewis and the News?

Hey Paulina!
