There are actually quite a lot of DRM free games on Steam, BTW.

State communication should not travel over private channels that can arbitrarily limit access to that State’s communications.

Tray-less microwaves have a spinning metal “stirring fan” below a plastic floor you set your food upon to mix the bounce path the microwaves take. Since they expose fewer moving parts to the end user they are easier to clean and more resilient making them a good option for commercial / high volume settings.

A microwave works by bouncing microwaves around the interior. Since the shape of the container doesn’t change neither will the path that the bounced waves take. This can lead to hotspots in what you’re reheating.

To mitigate this you have a few options:

• move the food around in the container so that different parts pass through different hotspots over time (this is what a tray does)
• interrupt the microwave path via a “stirrer fan” that sits below the microwave floor (this is what tray-less units use)

Both approaches redistribute the hotspots to maximize even heating. The efficacy of either approach will come down to the specific design of either unit, but a tray-less unit can be easier to clean, and with fewer moving parts exposed to end users can be a good option for commercial/high user count settings.

Each design accomplishes the same task of relatively even heating with few hotspots.

It’s the only way I open the start menu. There is no faster way to get to what I want than Superkey and typing.

PS I have all my OSes set up similarly. OSx has spotlight, my GNOME and KDE are configured to launch searchable menus on Super, and my mobile launcher is set up to search when I swipe up.

It gives a false sense of security to beginner programmers and doesn’t offer a more tailored solution that a more practiced programmer might create. This can lead to a reduction in code quality and can introduce bugs and security holes over time. If you don’t know the syntax of a language how do you know it didn’t offer you something dangerous? I have copilot at work and the only thing I actually accept its suggestions for now are writing log statements and populating argument lists. While those both still require review they are generally faster than me typing them out. Most of the rest of what it gives me is undesired: it’s either too verbose, too hard to read, or just does something else entirely.

84 miles twice in a day is 270km.

I’m not sure you understand the feasibility of biking 84 miles 2 times in a day in sub freezing weather with a total elevation change of 15,000ft with skis strapped to my back.

I’d love to not have a car, but there’s not a train that runs to the slopes and the busses cost more than twice as much as the gas to get there.

After Israel bombed an UNRWA School, BTW. Since the headline went out of its way to obfuscate that.

There are VoIP options, sure, but not the actual phone bands.

Except the actual phone part.

Cool! Yet another way to have Google loop the same 20 songs tangentially related to the artist I searched for without actually playing the artist I searched for.

They flagged me for report abuse for reporting a spammer using their option to report spammers.

If your goal is to dump as many mags as possible into a crowd then your aim and recoil don’t matter that much.

As long as you aren’t sleeping in your bed when the police get the wrong address, or sleeping in an encampment when the police decide to steal all your belongings for living while poor, or kicked out of the library for not having access to a bathroom, or finding yourself in a grocer, mall, concert hall, theatre, school, etc on a day a shooter decides to show up.

Also you can’t survive on $1 per day without someone caring for you. That will not keep you off the streets and fed, and it will most definitely not cover fees for access to self improvement resources or recovery.

Hmm, they got 1 out before they killed him this time. I suppose that’s an improvement.

Very simply:

• A function defines a curve.
• A derivative reveals the slope of that curve at a very specific point.
• An integral reveals the area “under” the curve (the space bounded by the curve and the horizontal axis).
