But… How do you even know you can smell ants? Why did you try it? Or can you smell them from meters away?

I might be wrong but I assumed it’s perfectly obvious to OP and it’s the kind of joke where something is funny because you stretch the meaning to read it literally. I chuckled actually, despite it making perfect sense.

Man, I didn’t get what I’m looking at at first. But after reading the description and watching the video - pretty amazing!

Of course, but when indentation has a syntactic meaning the formatter often won’t be able to fix it.

It’s probably more prone to mistakes like that, true. But in practice I really never witnessed this actually being a problem. Especially with tests and review.

Yeah, that’s definitely a good point. But it’s a minor thing. Adjusting indentation takes 2 keystrokes in vim, I barely notice it.

So I’m going to say what I always say when people complain about semantic whitespace: Your code should be properly indented anyway. If it’s not, it’s a bad code.

I’m not saying semantic whitespace is superior to brackets or parentheses. It’s clearly not. But it’s not terrible either.

As someone who codes in Python pretty much everyday for years, I NEVER see indentation errors. I didn’t see them back when I started either. Code without indentation is impossible to read for me anyway so it makes zero difference whether the whitespace has semantic meaning or not. It will be there either way.

I absolutely love the videos on this channel, this one being one of the best published yet. I’m literally blown away by the level of detail and clarity. I think I’m going to watch it more one time…

Exactly this worked for me. Just be consistent until it sticks. It can take months, easily. But it works in the end. 10:30 pm - 6:00 am is now baked into my mind and I usually just wake up naturally like 10 minutes before the alarm. I actually love it 😁

You are only starting to think that NOW?

Man, I’m just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply

I’m exactly the same! Nice to know I’m not the only one.

In all seriousness, once you’re of age the exact number rarely matters and isn’t often used so I’m more surprised people actually remember it.

Well, can’t say I’m surprised. I had something like that in pretty much every school I was in, just that ours were actually Gmail accounts. For non-technical folks it’s an easy and obvious solution. And to be honest, it works…

I think OP is worried about keeping their charged phone on the charger just for this feature. I also heard that keeping devices with batteries connected to a charger for a long time is not good because it generates a lot of small charging cycles pushing the battery to 100% repeatedly. I’m actually curious whether that’s true for the modern smartphones or not.

FWIW my Pixel has an “adaptive charging” feature that slowly charges the phone to 90% overnight and then tops it to 100% just before an alarm. It seems to be aimed at reducing this exact effect so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is something to it.

I was sure I’m getting baited when I clicked the link but it’s one of the rare cases when it actually turned out not to be a clickbait.

This feature literally found and isolated “important files” and now they are deleting those files. Just because it was never available in the US doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant.

Yeah, so basically Google invented a feature that finds your important files and deletes them. The future is here!

Of course I’m exaggerating for humoristic effect but in all seriousness I think the whole action is extremely poorly executed. I would be surprised if there weren’t some cases of people actually losing something important because of this.

Thanks!

To be honest I really like the aesthetics of keycaps without labels and I will probably change to those eventually. However, I wanted to play it safe for now considering the fact that it’s my first time with a keyboard like this.

It will definitely be 99% stationary but I think I will need to figure out a way to safely travel with it a few times a year since typing on a laptop keyboard feels like a torture now…

Wait, so Google just moved around important users’ files on their devices without being asked to do so. And now they decided to just delete those files together with the feature? This sounds pretty crazy, even for Google.

Recently I like to play some Twitch streams in the background when I’m not doing anything requiring a lot of focus. It makes me feel like I’m not really alone at home without any social effort on my side. You definitely have to find a right streamer for you though - most of Twitch is garbage in my opinion.

Someone mentioned going out to eat or sit at some cafe which I also like to do sometimes.

We need to remember that there are people making unimaginable amounts of money every time we believe some AI is good enough to replace half of the human workforce.
