For comparison, here's Mosul in Iraq after the defeat of ISIS:

If Tailscale is on, I can't concurrently run a DNS-blocking local VPN, so I see ads in mobile Chrome.

Gemini's built-in song generator seems to have better prompt adherence, higher audio quality, and better diction.

Maybe `ArrowLeft`/`ArrowRight` or `j`/`k` to flip through all of card pairs? Or just allow us to scroll through all the pairs. In either case, both old and new should be visible.

This happened to me a couple of times when I tried to sign up on their website: instantly banned before I could even enter the onboarding flow.

I then had more success signing up with the mobile app, despite using the same phone number; I guess they don't trust their website for account creation.

A framework designed to blur the line between code running on the client and code running on the server — forgot the distinction between code running on the client and code running on the server. I don't know what they expected.

(The same confusion comes up regularly whenever you touch Next.js apps.)

If you just want to be able to control the ACs remotely, without remote sensing, you can buy some cheap IoT IR blasters (around $15–30 for Zigbee or WiFi versions). They'll often have control schemes you can download for your specific equipment (cloning the IR remote control that came with the AC).

Another fun limitation is that a transaction cannot span multiple D1 requests, so you can't select from the database, execute application logic, and then write to the database in an atomic way. At most, you can combine multiple statements into a single batch request that is executed atomically.

When I needed to ensure atomicity in such a multi-part "transaction", I ended up making a batch request, where the first statement in the batch checks a precondition and forces a JSON parsing error if the precondition is not met, aborting the rest of the batch statements.

  SELECT
    IIF(<precondition>, 1, json_extract("inconsistent", "$")) AS consistent
  FROM ...

I was lucky here. For anything more complex, one would probably need to create tables to store temporary values, and translate a lot of application logic into SQL statements to achieve atomicity.

> creating "aberrated(after Ernst Abbe)" color-shifted image at its focal point

This is a clever bit of folk etymology [1], but aberrate is derived from the Latin verb aberro, meaning to wander or stray [2].

What about the MS Office key and Emoji key? Those were definitely added after 1994.

> biocide-exposed spores were spiked onto surgical scrubs and patient gowns and recovery was determined by a plate transfer assay

The article says nothing about washing scrubs and gowns. They put bleach-treated spores onto fabric, did not treat the fabric, and then collected samples from the fabric.

My data is anecdotal, but I've observed that Panasonic inverter ovens that I've used interfered in the 2.4GHz range, while models of other brands (e.g. GE) have not.

(This is unfortunate because Panasonic seems to be the only brand that can actually adjust power output, whereas the others simulate lower power levels by cycling on and off.)

> read up on some catastrophic bugs. Those that have caused space ships to explode and cars to crash.

One of the most famous type errors in recent history did in fact crash a spaceship.

If you have the entire move history, then you probably don't need to store partial board positions.

Isn't talc still used in pills and tablets (e.g. magnesium supplements, Tums, etc.)?

The ChatGPT-generated section sounds exactly like the substance-free content farm articles you would find if you searched for "how to choose a laser printer".

As illustrated hilariously in the first episode of Norsemen.

I have a Pixel 6A on T-Mobile. I keep 5G turned off because it's usually slower and flakier than LTE, visibly chews through the battery (a percentage point every couple of minutes), and heats up the phone.

Some languages besides English have distinct terms for a human face vs. an animal face. Is that what you're referring to?

My understanding is that universities in the U.S. often own much of the real estate around their campuses. (This is particularly true at Stanford; even faculty members who want to live nearby end up renting from Stanford or "buying" land leases.)

Would anyone be able to explain how the two techniques are related?

It's not just changes in aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the frame). In Sandman, they compress the actual image, so everything looks stretched vertically.

Note that this concerns the studies cited in just one chapter (of 38 total) in Thinking, Fast and Slow. The chapter is about implicit priming.

See, for example, Brazil: https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/brazil-demand-u...

The new King's Quest (2015) is great action/puzzle game, with some fairy tale mischief but no significant violence. It's framed as a narrative by an elderly king and his granddaughter, and clearly intended to be kid-friendly.

In a slightly different direction, I'd love to collaborate with someone on writing and producing low-budget short films in NYC. I have some plot ideas bouncing around, as well as some basic equipment and (mostly theoretical) skills in cinematography, sound, and editing.

I have a difficult time imagining that Russian speakers prefer the dubbed content they're offered. Most of the Russian dubs I've seen have one male voice actor doing all the characters (or with an additional female voice actor doing all the female characters, if you're lucky) with no attempts at timing, emotion, or intonation. The dub track is played on top of all the other audio, instead of being properly mixed in to replace the original dialogue track.

This is actually an improvement over stereo soundtracks, as you can just raise the relative volume of the center channel!
