This is a very thoughtful question that took me back to the time we were new parents.

Discussing this with my partner to see if there were dishes that we thought befit the hot Australian summer when we had the baby… And we honestly couldn’t think of any!

Everything was a blur; opening the fridge and finding something—anything—to eat was already the best feeling in the world.

We were quite lucky to have a multicultural circle of friends/family. We think that variety is probably more important than what the food actually were. If all we had was lasagna, we would eat it every day for a week. But choosing between fried rice, chilli con carne, pasta, or curry from the fridge/freezer was one of the few highlights of our day.

If you’re part of a group of friends, you can discuss among yourselves the different things you could bring. If not, imagine you just had the most exhausting day of your life. What do you wish you would find in your fridge right about now?

My understanding of the joke is less about tables, more about pontification; I.e. “it is so because we say it is”.

automatically read aloud

Oof. I’ve got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

With the 5 Eyes agreement, the they’re one and the same.

This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad’s fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

Egyptians didn’t have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.

Hahahah. I don’t know how my sleep-deprived brain got to “I am Bob”.

Yeah, audio isn’t my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it’s the only viable means of book consumption for me. It’s unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

Sanderson’s Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

Huh, interesting. I am Bob is literally next on my audiobook playlist.

Sigh. As a fan of Sanderson, Abercrombie, and Gibson, I am now compelled to check out your other recommendations. As if I haven’t already had an overly long queue of things to read…

It looks like they lifted the ban in the USA too? If you’re still keen, do give them a ring.

FYI, in Australia they scrapped the rule a couple years ago and you would’ve been able to donate now (at least blood, not sure about organs).

Wherever you are, maybe check again if they’ve relaxed the rule.

Me in the late 90s: CSS is not a language!

Today: Holy crap, it’s now Turing-complete.

Thus just feels like a lazy LLM-generated article.

Here are some secrets of Linux that many people may not be aware of. *Proceeds to list things that Linux is famous for*

I just pulled 500 randomly. I don’t know how long it would take me to throw the gamepad and reach for the mouse. 50 might be more realistic. The point is just to prevent accidental bumps.

I also came in with that comment fully expecting younger and much faster players with their 240Hz monitors to disagree profusely.

Ideal for me is auto-switching with a debounce time.

There’s been a few incidents where I’m using my gamepad and accidentally bumped my desk/mouse and completely lose my orientation in game. With a debounce, one form of input needs to have completely stopped for a certain period (say 500ms) before starting to register movements on the other input device.

some kind of hobby (especially one with a social component)

Okay, I just joined a guild in WoW and started doing 40-man raids. What’s the next step?

25MB… Is that a lot?

Depends, I guess. For a Godot app? Probably about average.

For a quick and dirty native app? This timer app I use is 160kB. Less than 1% in size.

all work in floats

We even have float16 / float8 now for low-accuracy hi-throughput work.

My parents still double click everything on their mobile…
