  • If it’s right across the street, why are there signs pointing to the different terminals in the building?

    Honestly, I was about to comment how it’s kinda sad that people gather at a temple of capitalistic worship to watch a game (and an ugly one at that). I didn’t do it because my next thought was: hey, what if that’s their only option to experience a community for something they might enjoy and I left it at that. I mean come on, unless you’re kid and it’s the 80s or 90s, a mall is about the most soulless place on this earth.

    Now I’m kinda glad it’s mostly just a bunch of travelers waiting at an airport that would otherwise miss the game.




  • Technically, wouldn’t you need the guy 10 minutes in the direction of the rain cloud to have turned it on when you go on a hike? Makes the battery saving argument kinda moot I guess, you should get the notification anyway, if enough people in your area are providing sufficient data for the short term forecast.

    Now in order to make that happen, people should participate if they’re using the feature, but that’s almost a moral argument I guess.

    Anyway, would still be nice if iOS / Android had more fine grained permission controls.









  • So you created a spreadsheet in order to determine the THC/cost ratio as a factor, but then you did not sort your rows based on that factor?

    Multiplying by the percentage shifts the calculation to determine the price of THC, not the price of the weed overall.

    Example: You have a jar with 100g of weed you bought for $900 (bulk discounts ignored). You know the weed has a THC content of 22%, which equals a factor of 0.22. Multiply the 100g in your jar by 0.22 and you get 22g of pure THC in that jar. 900/22 means around $41 per gram of THC.

    That way, you can easily compare price to THC ratio, that is, you will know how much you paid for a gram of THC, not for a gram of weed.

    Put that new value (cost of THC per gram) into a new column and then start sorting all of your rows by that value in ascending order. Thay way, you can instantly look at the optimal entry (the top one), but also determine similar products, for example if your source is out of the best product, or it’s generally unavailable for someone without re-scanning the whole table (making it pretty useless).



  • Couldn’t watch, so I got a summary. Maybe it’s helpful for someone else:

    • Bluefin is introducing a new “Stable” tag for their Fedora distribution, in addition to the existing “GTS” (Grand Touring Support) and “Latest” tags.

    • The Stable tag will provide a middle ground between the aggressively updated Latest Fedora and the more conservative GTS version.

    • Stable will use the latest Fedora release, but with a slightly older kernel that has been more thoroughly tested and vetted by the Bluefin team.

    • This is intended to cater to enthusiasts who want the latest Fedora features, but with a bit more stability and reliability.

    • Bluefin will be publishing weekly updates for the Stable images, rather than waiting 2 weeks between updates like the Fedora CoreOS team.

    • The Stable images will also use zstd chunked compression to reduce the amount of bandwidth needed for updates.

    • Bluefin is unsure whether the Stable configuration (latest Fedora, slightly older kernel) or the GTS configuration (older Fedora, latest kernel) will ultimately feel more stable in practice

    • The Stable tag is a response to user feedback requesting access to the latest Fedora releases, rather than having to wait for the GTS version.

    • Nvidia driver updates for the Stable images will also be provided on a regular basis.

    • Bluefin is interested in exploring this middle ground between aggressively updated and conservatively updated Fedora distributions.





  • That’s not how it works in most places, working hours are fixed and breaks are typically mandated by law anyway, so you don’t get to go home early just because you skipped lunch.

    Plus, a healthy and tasty meal, subsidized by the employer, certainly beats me shopping for the ingredients and cooking when it comes to price and time invested. An actual problem is rather having access to a place that provides food like that.
