Here is a tampermonkey script to disable the youtube progress bar gradient:

A good companion video to this might be The Psychology of Extreme Rhythms from Adam Neely's channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRLTjESyuQk

There was always something I liked about Forth when I didn't have to do much stack-thinking. One of the things that felt forth-y to me when I first encountered it was threaded code in Clojure (or any other point-free kind of idiom for that matter).

I'll sometimes abuse Python's compose to do similar things I won't send out for code review. Maybe I really should just try to live in Coconut instead of silly stuff like:

  import chess
  import chess.svg
  from IPython.display import SVG, display
  from functools import reduce
  
  
  def rcompose(*fs):
      return reduce(lambda f, g: lambda *xs, **ys: g(f(*xs, **ys)), fs)
  
  inline_board = rcompose(
          chess.Board,
          chess.svg.board,
          SVG,
          display)

Factor's quotations dealing with stack management weirdness is super nice, too.

It still has a bit more stack juggling than I like, though. That could just be a "me" problem. Props to that whole community for their effort.

I've found smaller categories of products with decent reviews on youtube. Project Farm and America's Test Kitchen spring to mind. I'm not sure they're as rigorous, but it's beyond what I'm willing to do at home by myself.

He didn't take credit for making the wire, so no.

Last time I ate in SF, I walked past a guy smoking crack on the sidewalk. But, yeah... big house with a big yard is nice.

I find this video (series) helps break down Bleed pretty nicely:

I'm with you mostly on the "really like" side. Sound all the way around is excellent. Little details like the horn blowing dust when they disembark from the ships on Arrakis are great. Salusa Secundus in the rain was great. The overall visual style is great. Casting was mostly great.

I just wish some of the sets were a bit more dense. The room for the Gom Jabbar scene, the Bene Gesserit walking back to the ship, cone of silence scene, and especially the palace fight on the stairs. Kinda gave my Sky Captain vibes.

I also don't like cutting the tension between Jessica and Thufir, although if Thufir doesn't end up under the Baron I guess I get it.

99% of what?

It's nearly 4% of the US population (2021).

Is that the same Peter Schiff that said gold was going to $5,000/oz in 2012?

Regarding passive solar, I liked this video on the Schweikher House built during the 1930s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq-3cZ0cbws

"Anyone who controverts my psychological insight into jwz is a fool!"

So you know him personally? Talked about this? Have some background in personali...

"He runs a bar!"

Seems legit.

"Armchair psychoanalysts, not so much."

Indeed.

I'm 100% with you on this. That c-pillar makes it a non-starter for me.
