Surprised to see no mention of the Anyday: https://cookanyday.com/

I'm partially living in this alternative timeline as an accomplished microwave chef thanks to this thing. I mostly use it to steam veggies.

Didn't think the Maillard reaction was possible in the microwave (and that's what I miss the most). The tin-oxide pans are fascinating, though pre-heating them doesn't seem terribly convenient now that we have induction stove-tops.

Also, the number of paper towels used...

It's interesting. I've been tinkering with an article summarizing/highlighting browser extension, and realized that I don't want the end-user to have read AI-generated content because it's not as high-quality as I'd hoped. But on the flip side, I'm loving having the AI write most of the code for me.

You only have to change every car, truck, tractor, water heater, clothes dryer, lawn mower, leaf blower, stove top, etc to be electric instead of using natural gas (ie electrfy everything), which likely requires all the changes that the parent mentioned. Also, not everyone has enough land to install enough PV to power their entire homes + transportation, so a lot of this is going to have to come from the grid, which requires changes in transmission which are being actively blocked by the current administration (see Grain Belt Express).

And throw it all away before you fly home? That's like saying "Why wash dishes when you can just throw them away and buy new ones"?

As an aside, you should absolutely wash your clothes after buying them before wearing them. They're covered in chemicals that aren't great for your skin. I usually pack a week's worth of clothes and do laundry once a week while traveling. Doing laundry more often is a drag.

Hey, thanks for building this. I'm trying to use it for this usecase. I'm trying to pause the script during the manual steps. How would you go about this? Example: 1. Change working directory block 2. Interactive terminal 3. Manual Step 4. Interactive terminal 5. Manual step

If I press run at the top, then it doesn't stop for me to do 3 before executing 4. Should I run each step individually for this usecase? Will changing the directory in step 1 apply to steps 2 and 4 if I don't hit run at the top?

This is not recycling. Recycling implies that you can produce the same product again many times; it's a sustainable practice. This is repurposing or upcycling. It's cool they're getting a second life, but they won't get a 3rd, 4th, Nth life unless the batteries are actually recycled into their component materials at end-of-life. It's kind of like the plastic brick companies: cool that plastic is being turned into a construction material, but it doesn't mean we can stop mining for the primary source material any time soon.

How do you check your todo list on mobile?

I'm not a Python dev, but had to write a script the other day and got all cought up with the virtual env stuff. Why can't `uv` just infer the dependencies from the `import ...` line? Why declare the dependencies twice?

Python import names are not necessarily unique or the name of the package on pypi/pip. Something like PyYaml is imported as yaml, but potentially other packages could supply a slightly different yaml to import

I had the same thought with a recent NewScientist article. Signed up, read it, and tried to cancel to avoid the recurring fee. There's no click to cancel; I had to submit a form + request and repeatedly check my email to see if my request had been honored. I'm still waiting for the perfect pay-per-article platform to show up.

As someone who has built a timer-based procrastination browser extension, I'd like to add that it would be a nice touch if you could stop playback between videos (or maybe between chapters on long videos) rather than cut people off right as the timer goes off. It's a bit jarring to be in the middle of something you're enjoying and for the screen to go blank.
