This is fair. I have had to put tape over a red alarm clock because it was too bright before. Those manufacturers also get the oubliette

Shorter wavelengths hit different though. That’s why we have blue light filtering glasses, Redshift, etc.

You can muffle the beeper pretty effectively with some tape, the old air fryer we had terrified one of the dogs because of the incessant beeping. My coffee scale by default beeps whenever you touch it, thankfully that’s 100% mutable.

I also hate this.

The beeping! My damn air fryer has to let everyone in the neighborhood know that I’m making food at 3:00 am, I hate it so much

Gonna ignore the fire alarm someday because I’ll just assume someone is air frying something

It’s always been my philosophy that it crust really is such a chore, put it orthogonally on top of the next slice - there’s always too much cheese and tomato in the first mouthfuls of a new slice anyway.

Sweet and savory is an amazing combination, I’m also a fan of sweet and salty. I loveeeee me some dark chocolate covered pretzels

Amen, brother. Scoot over.

Username checks out?

That sounds very interesting!. Do you mean curry leaves, or a particular curry sauce? I know e.g. masaman often includes peanuts.

Ew, I’ve given olives an honest shot but I just can’t even. Feta is great for a salty pairing with pineapple though!

Or hot honey with some spiced sausage.

Peak microwave

One dial is power level, the other is time.

Just tried setting no country, then ducked “wine”.
Results were definitely still from my country first.
When I set display language to US English, results came up from the US, instead.
When I set it to French, it shows French websites at the top.
So the language you set affects what websites you are shown in the results. That sucks.

But you can actually just turn off ads in the settings. That’s pretty fucking neat!

Oh believe me, I know. DDG was the first one I tried, and I tested it with every configuration possible. Like many other search engines such as startpage and kagi, you sure can do this in the settings, but it will do absolutely nothing to stop it from using your IP address to net locationally biased results specific to your current location. You may assume it would function like this, but it doesn’t.

I even tried their html and lite versions, but although it was less cluttered and much more pleasant to use, it still provided results that were very clearly based on my IP address.

I’m not even sure what those settings do because they appear to have no function. Maybe they change language and currency on some sites for convenience, but again, that’s not what I’m talking about in my comment! I’m saying a search engine should not use any locational data whatsoever to adjust results. And if you reply “well, good luck finding one because it doesn’t exist,” then congratulations, you understand my comment! They don’t exist because we’ve all sacrificed our societal wellbeing for the sake of the smallest convenience.

Even if changing it to another country/region worked (it doesn’t), we’d still have the problem of netting biased results based on what country I switch it to. That would be akin to searching while using my VPN, which once again, does not solve the problem of search engines using IP address to provide locationally biased results.

Delicious. Canfield chocolate fudge soda was bliss.

Spoiling milk is all about the ratio of the fat. It’s why cream is used in alcoholic drinks. The higher fat content of the cream means it can take more without spoiling. Try yours with skim milk vs. whole and taste the difference.

niche is french

Don’t you dare ask questions.

Microfiche.

It originates from French

I will know what they mean, but if I notice it is 12:01 I will absolutely take the opportunity to respond as if they meant 1 minute ago

Our relationship is built on tiny hills to die on. Of course, it is always playful 😜

She will use a common grammatical construction in Spanish (“a por”) that became technically correct in Spain (where she is from) long after the conquest. I am from Mexico, where that construction is not used (we don’t insert the “a” before “por”). So, when she uses “a por” I act like I don’t understand and argue that it is not in the spanish her ancestors taught mine.

Reading a tab as however many spaces is trivial, and the point of tabs.

Reading however many spaces as a tab is a gross hack that has to be dialed-in for whatever standard the document chose.

Just use tabs in the first place. God damn. That’s what they’re for.

5!?!? Are you trying to get yourself sectioned?

Because when I move left in tabs, the cursor isn’t clear which tab I’m on. It also tried to sit off the left edge of a terminal in some editors because it aligns with the right side of the character (the tab), instead of the left.

I do see how tabs are a better option : they allow the one editing the file to decide how wide the indentation is. That’s actually good User Interface design, by separating the data from the rendering layout.

I can see the argument both ways, but I like to use spaces so the visual and editing interfaces are more standard.

My big reason would be “it hurts readability”. That is, when writing code, readibility for others who aren’t familiar with it (including future me) is my top-priority, and that means indentation and alignment are HIGHLY important, and if I spend the time to write code with specific indentation and alignment, to make it readable at a glance, I want to be certain that it’s always going to display exactly that way. Tabs specifically break that guarantee, because they’re subject to editor settings, which means shit like the below example can occur:

I write the following code with an editor that uses a tab size of 4.

myObject.DoSomething(
    someParameter:      "A",
    someOtherParameter: "B",
    value:              "C");

If someone pulls this up in an editor that uses a tab size of 8, they get…

myObject.DoSomething(
    someParameter:          "A",
    someOtherParameter:     "B",
    value:                          "C");

Not really a big deal, in this simple case, but it illustrates the point.

My second reason would be that it makes code more difficult to WRITE, I.E. it’s not that hard to insert spaces when you mean to insert tabs, considering that you’re not LITERALLY using only tabs just only tabs for indentation and alignment. And if you do accidentally have spaces mixed in, you’re not going to be able to tell. The guy on another machine with different editor settings will, though.

I’m aware there are fonts that can make spaces and tabs visible and distinct, but that sounds like a NIGHTMARE to write and read code with. I mentioned above, my top priority is easy readability, and introducing more visual noise to make tabs and spaces distinct can only hurt readability.
