I have an “innovation award” trophy from my last job sitting on my office bookshelf.

The alleged innovation was rolling out git to track the DB schema backing mission-critical operations, in the year 2021.

(It was a government job btw.)

Serious answer, content-farm listicle authors deliberately make provocative choices to get more attention, and also usually don’t personally care about whatever they’re writing on.

Quoting from the wikipedia page of Screen Rant’s parent company:

According to TheWrap, previous and current Valnet employees claim the company prioritizes “mass quantity over quality to churn out mind-numbing SEO bait.” Once websites are acquired by Valnet, the permanent staff are usually replaced by contractors, who are paid significantly less (reportedly around $19 for 1000 words at GameRant) than the former tenured staff. One former contributor described Valnet website Collider to TheWrap as “a content mill, borderline like almost sweatshop-level”, while another writer suggested that Valnet forced contractors to create “junky clickbait” content.

This is probably a case of blind men touching an elephant, but Kagi to me genuinely feels like Google did 15 years ago.

The actually-useful static content of the internet is still there buried under the deluge of slop.

As a sweeping generalization, this is only a problem with chain gyms.

If you need a solid litmus test though, call them during core hours and ask for a quick tour. Nearly all indie gyms will let you pay for a day pass or similar if you’re new (though that isn’t always part of their posted rates). If they won’t let you test the waters without signing up for recurring payment, it’s not a gym worth going to.

I’m happy to see the Chinese labs start competing on SOTA… but hot damn that price is a turnoff.

Anyone tried Kimi 2.7 Coding out in practice yet? Curious to know how it fares against Deepseek 4 and similar budget options.

By default, when it’s older than two weeks and you run any of the standard commands which trigger a GC check.

How we supposed to read this one?

Shoutout to Charles Mann’s 1493, which contains a remarkably insightful survey of potato biology and indigenous Andean cultivation. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the topic.

What’s your peptide stack, and how many times a day do you cold plunge + sauna?

Damn, this is huge. Really wish I could buy one.

Thai basil is completely fine to let flower, but you want to pinch the tops early on lemon basil (and traditional genovese) so they keep producing leaves and don’t go bitter.

That lemon basil is a writeoff; you have to be proactive about the pinching or the plant will go all-in on dumping seeds.

Navidrome might be up your alley.

Based on your description, it’s an abrasive cleaner. Don’t use it on enamel or anything else that can be stripped.

You’ll get better answers with some pics.

Since you mentioned it’s in a mulched area, did you rule out girdling roots?

Hospital chargemasters have limited utility to the average patient, as they reflect the maximal “sticker rate” the hospital rate charges per procedure, rather than negotiated rates or cashpay rates.

They’re a good tool for figuring out the ceiling of what you might pay, just not a silver bullet for knowing what you will pay.

I’m a live and let-live type (as well as a former TCH employee), and fully support anyone who wants to detransition for whatever reason.

Yet there is simply zero need for a dedicated program at the end of the day — this is raw fascist political theater. Any run-of-the-mill pediatric endo and mental health provider are typically sufficient. It’s not that medically complex to go in reverse; you’re just trying to kickstart the HPGA back into gear and let endogenous hormones resume.

Devil’s advocate: Maybe this new group could treat a few weird cases where a kid was intersex and did have some corrective surgery they want undone? But nope, Texas Children’s already has a dedicated team of world-class urogenital anomaly specialists who are exactly the people you’d want for that.

It’s usually just pollination issues when only a few drupelets are full like that.

AFAIK, most rubus varieties are self-fertile but still benefit greatly from pollinators, so I imagine adding some nearby native flowering plants that bloom around the same time as your berries would be a big help.

They abuse the fuck out of their monopoly, basically.

They made changes to limit the usefulness of adblockers (Manifest V3), they tried to force a remote attestation API (WEI API) a few years back that would let them do stuff like fully block users who aren’t running locked-down operating systems from using online banking software or accessing Youtube, they added many chrome-specific web APIs that are extremely helpful for fingerprinting and lock users into the chrome ecosystem, etc.

And if you’re running stock chromium, there’s a fuckton of telemetry calling home to Google servers constantly.

It’s this feature-length video the music group Jungle did for one of their albums but never publicized: https://player.vimeo.com/video/846974200?h=d7fad03b63

Feels like it was some weird Kubrick side-project; just insane.
