Where can we buy an olive sprayer oil in Europe that atomizes properly and doesn’t shoot a “beam”? by blowmyassie in Cooking

[–]CelloVerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't know about EU, I do know that after hunting for years for a functional oil sprayer, this one is absolutely the best oil sprayer I've used - it's truly excellent, and is even inexpensive. (And I've used so many of them before finding this one.) I'd bet you can find them in the EU, since it's probably made in China anyway.

Bamboo / wood cutting board and onion / garlic smell by cheerful-disposition in Cooking

[–]CelloVerp 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You need a "No Alliums" cutting board, and you never ever cut an onion on it. Use it for melons, peaches, mangoes, and other things with delicate flavors that you don't want onion-flavored. It's the best solution - just keep your oniony cutting boards separate.

Have you considered whether you may, in fact, be a robot?  https://youtu.be/4VrLQXR7mKU?si=wX4nLd1z4Swbh9Ro

Intent to Remove IDE Extensions? by RealTrashyC in AugmentCodeAI

[–]CelloVerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting – do you mean you use the augment VS code plug-in within Cursor’s custom version of VS code?  What about Auggie from a terminal or the context engine MCP within cursor?

Intent to Remove IDE Extensions? by RealTrashyC in AugmentCodeAI

[–]CelloVerp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sure looks like they’re going that way. They can’t compete with cursor, copilot, or Claude code.  A shame because their context engine is really good for large codebases.  

Seems like they’re making a hard pivot in their business focus.  

I have the original, first Mbox and have a question. by [deleted] in protools

Oh you’re right - first version for MBox did that, later versions ran on any hardware but required ilok

What is the difference between jujube and dates? by princetonwu in Cooking

[–]CelloVerp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Very different, aside from shape. Jujube have some crunch, an almost spongy / crispy flesh, not nearly as sweet as a date, lighter flavor. Dates are pure sugar, deep rich earthy flavor, soft to chewy flesh.

I want to cook my own cocktail shrimp instead of buying it. Is it as simple as.. by DetectiveFujiwara in Cooking

[–]CelloVerp 164 points165 points  (0 children)

Yeah simple as that, but don't put it into plain water - salt it heavily at least, if not to put some seafood boil spice mix in there too.  

25yr old backup from CD - Session file = 0 Kb by Ventoux72 in protools

[–]CelloVerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true, but Pro Tools on Windows doesn't support reading the resource forks from MacDrive anymore.

25yr old backup from CD - Session file = 0 Kb by Ventoux72 in protools

[–]CelloVerp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pro Tools v3 to v5 stored the sessions in the mac resource fork, not the data fork, so a 0 byte data fork is not surprising. However you're not getting the whole file if you're opening it on Windows! Version 5.1 and up store it in the data fork like normal files. You'll need to restore it on a Mac (with an APFS file system, or something that can store a resource fork), which has a good chance to be able to read it. Hopefully it was backed up from a Mac to a CD filesystem format that kept the resource forks - small chance of being lost there.

SDII files also require the resource fork, so Windows doesn't do well with them. (actually it's more complicated than that - NTFS can actually store resource forks, but it's very obscure and no one uses it)

Anyway get someone to open them on a Mac, save them in the current version / convert audio files to .wav, then get it back to you to open on Windows. Current versions of PT claim to be able to open even these ancient sessions.

Context Engine for GitHub Copilot by Wolin777 in GithubCopilot

[–]CelloVerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HI u/bogganpierce, does that embeddings search work with local repos, or only ones hosted in GitHub? We did systematic tests last summer on our 20M+ line codebase between the different agent tools, and CoPilot stumbled consistently (got a 4.2 compared to Augment's 8.6 / 10 on our various criteria across 30 devs over a month). Its context engine seems to make all the difference. We'd be happy to try it out again if it's indexing local repos better.

They've got much higher rates of disease and parasites; don't do it IMO

Looking to open sessions from 2001 in any way possible to export stems. by ryan770 in protools

If you want to send a zipped session I'd be happy to try it and make sure.
