It’s not known to be harmful or carcinogenic. Doesn’t mean it isn’t. It’s hard to identify correlation between exposure and harm for something that we’re nearly all exposed to especially if the level of harm is low.

Companies have also been known to harass and silence researchers who show their products are harmful. I don’t see a reason to trust that PTFE is safe to eat when I have the option to just not eat it.

Ever seen a well used Teflon pan that wasn’t scratched or chipped? All of that goes into your food.

I too can produce vaguely plausible fake data sets. Why’s everyone get so worried when some software can do it?

Checks out for me. Love me some arch and love my pour over coffee maker. Use both everyday btw.

When you use a vpn, any traffic that would go between you and a website goes through the vpn first. Makes it hard for sites to know who you are and makes it hard for your isp to know what sites you visit.

When you use tor, any traffic that would go between you and a website is bounced around between a few different computers first. Similar to a vpn but is near impossible to track unless you’re a big gov agency with lots of resources.

Didn’t they also crash or overheat sometimes when charged from the left side? Apple hardware really is unrivaled.

I’m absolutely biased as a data engineer who loves SQL, but there are some good reasons why SQL has been the de facto standard for interacting with databases since the 80s.

One of its draws is that it’s easy to understand. I can show a stakeholder that I’m selecting “sum(sale_amount) from transactions where date=yesterday” and they understand it. Many analysts are even able to write complicated queries when they don’t know anything else about programming.

Since it’s declarative, you rarely have to think about all the underlying fuckery that lets you query something like terabytes of data in redshift in minutes.

Debugging is often pretty nice too. I can take some query that didn’t do what it was supposed to and run it over and over in a console until the output is right.

You don’t want to pull cold air in but a small fan to circulate the air in the enclosure gives you more even temps from top to bottom and can improve print quality. I installed a nevermore filter a while back to filter the filament fumes and was surprised to see my prints improve too.

Glad you figured out something that worked for you. Don’t be such a dick next time and you’ll find everyone will be more helpful.

That error is saying you’re trying to move/rename the file to a name that’s already being used. Can’t do that on windows either.

That said, I’ve seen some weird issues with bulk file copies in Linux file explorers. Cli usually works better.

There are 2 different physical sensations for tasting salt. One for low salt that tastes good and one for high salt that tastes bad. This is believed to help regulate salt intake.
