  • Ie read that the cables don't reach and you end up having to take up 2 spots normally. Not sure if it's because you have to park one slot over or if you have two park half way between spots though.

    Best large TV (70+ inches) for under $1000?

    跳过

  • Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000's before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.

    Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I'm loving it.

  • what are the best and worst Halloween candy to receive?

  • I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it's the ones I'm thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

  • If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street "hey, this place has ring pops!"

    Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper

  • Here in Canada at least they have both at the moment. You can use the drive thru as usual or order through the app and give them a code at the drive thru or just park in a numbered spot and have them bring it out to you without ever talking to someone

  • What are good ways to increase air flow in a home with few windows and oriented unfavorably to the local wind direction (cheaply)?

    跳过

  • Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan's airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.

    I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

    https://youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw?si=aLTlAMKv_3p3ri2q I think he may have made multiple videos on the topic

  • “It’s not that hard”

  • December from '22 not '23. The image was from a few months after he took over twitter and was still going on about that stuff and how it was doing all these useless things that needed to be removed or rewritten. I just remembered another one about how he was going on about a single request to twitter causing thousands of RPCs or something? I think that's not really unheard of in a microservices infrastructure and it's not like they'd be synchronous. There's probably tons of calls that go to things like tracking, analytics, or cross DC sharing I would imagine for such a large and high volume service like twitter.

  • “It’s not that hard”

    跳过

  • When he took over twitter there was a bunch of stuff he was spouting about things like Twitter's stack needing a full rewrite and such. Going so far as to fire the engineer that challenged him on it during a live spaces thing if I recall correctly.

  • The one in the picture was done in a springform pan but we also did one in a cast iron pan at the same time. They both came out exactly the same except for how vertical the walls were. Also the springform pan leaked some oil so the oven got all smokey. Would definitely recommend putting the springform pan in a baking tray, we just didn't have room to do that with the other pan in there.
