Truly a sitcom worthy story.

For my personal mail I like using labels in Gmail instead of archive button. Basically, I categorize mail in a few categories:

1. Receipts, bill, utilities, etc. (Sublabel for every company)

2. Friends&Family (Sublabel for every person)

3. School and school related (Sublabel for every person)

4. Government and government related (Sublabel by organization)

5. Random and miscellaneous

It's archive, but somewhat organized

It’s fairly clear that this happened because they want to discourage AI scraping. But what does this mean for the Internet Archive? Is it really so strict that no new posts can be archived?

An adequate summary of Collier's critique can be found in the video (starting at 1:56:13): "I've started this whole project thinking: 'Oh my God, I hate Richard Feynman. He's such an a*hole.' But that doesn't make sense. I don't know anything about Richard Feynman. And now I am here—Richard Feynman never wrote a book. Richard Feynman constantly made up stories. He was a showman. Does anybody know anything about Richard Feynman? Can you hate a guy that does not exist? The legend of Richard Feynman is based on nothing about Feynman at all..."

Wasn't this an old school insult back from CS 1.6 days (probably even before), or was it only used among my friends?

New comment by CoBE10 in "Coding and Keyboards (2023)"

CoBE10 — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 12:22:16 +0000

As a Serbian keyboard user, I really dislike these keys: \ [] {} |. They always mess up my typing flow. The layout seems to prioritize punctuation like : , ; and - over the symbols needed for programming and markup, making them easier to reach compared to an English keyboard. It’s great for writing regular text, but when it comes to using LaTeX, it’s a pain since typing \ [] {} | feels like doing gymnastics with my fingers.

We've come the full circle with writing letters above words. Reminds me of old medieval Slavic texts: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Miroslav...

New comment by CoBE10 in "Microwaves Not Made in China"

CoBE10 — Sun, 19 May 2024 10:37:15 +0000

If your food ends up with freezing cold and boiling hot spots after microwaving, it’s probably because of how you’re using the microwave. Don’t use the high setting on completely frozen foods. Set it to medium instead. This gives the food time to heat up evenly. Microwaves mostly heat the surface, so a medium setting works better for even cooking.

New comment by CoBE10 in "Framework's software and firmware have been a mess, but it's working on them"

From personal experience (I don't use SD cards often) I would rather have another USB A or C port instead of SD port. USB SD card readers are so much cheaper and smaller than Framework expansion cards, that having one in a bag takes less space, and you can carry them like USB flash drive.
