Flashlight for now, but I really want it to bring up the Apple TV remote. Maybe someday

Your name is apt

Technically multiplication is just division by the inverse so math has that case covered too

You can also lick off the bitter coating if you’re into that kind of thing

I think it’s two reasons - first is that human readable formats are less specific, so three files that are “3gb” in size look the same, so it may be hiding information that it knows about

The second is that commands are very often used as parts of larger scripts, where human readability may not matter as much, or may not be applicable until the very last command when the output is actually shown.

Between these, and the fact that most commands try not to predict what your use case is, I think that having a -h option is going to be the norm going forward as well rather than having it as the default

Tenerife, the pic doesn’t do it justice but it was just the greenest, most quintessential “island life” type place. And they had the best octopus I’ve ever had. Definitely going to revisit it at some point.

For Saturdays I usually need to look at the hints, but these hints were too much. Not very fun when half the crossword is done for you

I read once that if you’re trying to get some creativity juices flowing, removing unnecessary details will allow for more abstract thought. Like “write a story about an ogre” would lead to very different stories than “write a story about an ogre doing pushups”, even if the latter is probably arguably more funny.

So that was my thinking here about being a bit vague, I was specifically talking about tankless water heaters which got us on the subject though.

Thank you, I love the internet. Was discussing this with my roommate and didn’t know where else to ask!

Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up.

My cpu isn’t the newest, it’s an i7 5820k, overclocked just a bit, but I have a hard time believing that a newer cpu on its own will have more than marginal gains on this front, but I could be way off here.

edit: I just realized my processor came out in 2014. So I'm sure in 10 years we've made some inroads, I thought I bought this guy in 2018.

 

Until I get a bot up and running to create these, I will try to manually create these daily. If it is 2 hours before game time and one is not created, please create one yourself!
