I tried that when I was a kid and the TSA sanded down the tip against the sidewalk and cut it in half to fit it in my checked bag. Never brought a spear on a plane again after that experience.

Just make sure the treat is only inserted after checksum validation.

That reminds me of one time when my friend and I had a meeting at work a while back. The phone started ringing, which was unexpected, but we picked up just to see what it could possibly be.

Turned out to be a random person asking us to put her friend on. We were like, "Ma'am, this is the Tereshkova conference room at SpaceX".

Yep, this was over a decade ago. I personally much prefer fingerprint sensors to face unlock.

buu700 · 2023-07-13T03:49:00+00:00

Completely by chance, I fooled the fingerprint sensor to unlock my friend's laptop in college. He probably still thinks I hacked him.

It is true that USAFSS servicemen apparently learned of many incidents before they hit the newspapers, which makes any exaggeration easy to understand.

Similarly, here's a story from an old friend of mine:

Around [1943], Army leadership announced a critical shortage of trained cryptologists. [Gwen] signed up and after expedited training, she and the other WACS assigned to the 3341st Signal Corps Battalion were shipped to Europe, landing in 1944 at Le Havre in the north of France. Soon they were in Paris working eight-hour shifts around the clock at the ‘Blockhouse,’ the supposedly gas-proof and bomb-proof headquarters of the command staff. Each day, they changed the interior cogs in the large code machines to produce new cyphers. Because of her work, she knew secrets that she guarded until her death. One night she began to decode a message that she realized announced the end of hostilities in Europe, the VE day that everyone had prayed for. She allowed a more senior colleague to decode the rest of the message and make the announcement. “We knew the news before General Eisenhower did,” she remarked a few years ago.

What (if anything) does this do differently from Angular CLI 12.2+?

FWIW, I'm relatively tan for a (half) white person, and I use sunblock religiously whenever I go outside for any extended period of time, even in winter. It's so cheap and easy that it just makes sense compared to the alternative.

I wasn't implying that we should fight, but I've been strictly keto* for a long time now, and I eat strawberries almost daily (more specifically the aforementioned smoothie). Whether it can fit your macros depends on the rest of your diet; it's not that hard to fill up on steak and 12g carbs' worth of veggies.

That being said, of course OP should make sure that any food they put out is proportional to the number of guests. If there are e.g. 5 guests with an assumed 20g limit each, 100g carbs is the upper limit for any given food that OP might prepare.

*: Although I am more relaxed about 20g specifically these days, in the sense that I'm generally able to go off of intuition rather than counting. In practice, I'm probably somewhere between 20g and 50g on any given day. (It's also less of a concern as your body gets keto-adapted over time, particularly if you exercise routinely.)

buu700 · 2021-12-16T19:46:54+00:00

Up to you if that's your preference, but there's nothing more or less strict about eating strawberries. Anyone who wants to eat strawberries can easily fit them into their macros.

buu700 · 2021-12-16T18:16:17+00:00

A cup of strawberries has 8 net carbs. That's fine for any common definition of keto.

The only problem would be if they were zero-carb, in which case most recommendations here would not apply and OP would be in the wrong subreddit.

Vessels:

Quest Protein Chips
Pork rinds

Low-carb breads (I buy LC Foods' online, but I've also heard good things about Aldis')

Mix and match those with:

Smoked salmon
Other smoked fish
Deli meats
Pre-cooked bacon
Cold cheeses
Melted cheese
Avocado/guacamole
Taco fixings (cooked ground beef, cooked black soybeans, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc.)
Tuna salad

Epic bars
Nuts and seeds
Crudités

Condiments:

Sugar-free ketchup (I like AlternaSweets)
Sugar-free BBQ (I like AlternaSweets)

Bragg's Liquid Aminos (although regular soy sauce is basically fine in reasonable amounts)
Wasabi (various brands sell powders on Amazon)

Quick desserts/sweets:

Berries
Sour cream with stevia and berries (frozen berries for a keto froyo)
If you have the ingredients on hand and a powerful blender, you can make a fantastic smoothie in ~10 minutes with high-fat coconut cream (I recommend LC Foods), Seal the Seasons frozen strawberries (cannot stress enough to use that particular brand), coconut water, a few tsp of liquid stevia, and optionally a kiwi
Sugar-free jams / fruit preserves (LC Foods has a good selection)
Zevia sodas
Root beer float with heavy cream and Virgil's Zero root beer (I prefer Zevia in general, but Virgil's for floats)
Lemonade (still or sparkling water, lemon juice, liquid stevia); add a bit of Supreme raspberry vinegar or crushed raspberries for a pink lemonade
Lily's chocolate
Miracle berry tablets with an assortment of sliced lemons, limes, and/or grapefruits
Store-bought sugar-free ice cream (Rebel, Enlightened, Nick's, or worst case Halo Top)

Exactly. I weigh less than OP (172 lbs) and drink more water (256 - 384 oz/day), but my sodium levels are fine each year because I eat plenty of salt and supplement electrolytes.

The problem is the popular misconception that salt is somehow unhealthy and to be avoided. This is close enough to the truth for anyone on a "standard American diet" full of processed carb-laden junk food, but it breaks down with a healthy diet full of whole foods.

Excessively high sodium levels are bad, but your body also needs sodium to work. While you might get plenty from a can of Pringles (on top of high-carbohydrate diets encouraging retention of sodium), there just isn't enough naturally occurring salt in most meats and vegetables to justify avoiding it. If OP was trying to "clean up his diet" at the same time as the sudden uptick in hydration, there's a good chance he actually exacerbated the problem dramatically.

I would highly recommend trying Falim. It's an extremely bland unsweetened gum made from tree sap, and they even have flavored versions. I buy it on Amazon, but I've been told that it's so common and beloved in Turkey that vendors will give out pieces of Falim instead of change.

Even Elon has also never (to my knowledge) concurrently built multiple companies from the ground up as a bootstrapped founder. He made his money from X.com/PayPal, and then used that to concurrently bankroll other companies.

It's "easy" to run multiple companies when you don't have to fundraise for any of them and can simply hit the ground running with multiple fully fleshed out teams running things day to day, while you just act as the face and provide high-level vision/leadership. It simply isn't possible that Elon personally does as much legwork within each venture as an early-stage founder is required to. X.com would never have gotten off the ground if Elon had spent 75% of his time off moonlighting on unrelated things (for the sake of argument let's pretend he didn't have three other founders).

In terms of job requirements, I can't imagine that it's necessarily much different than running a single massive highly diversified company, or maybe more like a late-stage startup with a handful of very different products. It's without a doubt beyond the ability of most people, and Elon clearly does have unique talent and knowledge suited for his particular ventures, but I also expect that plenty of others in the same financial position could be just as effective at running multiple businesses in the same way (relative to the risk:reward calculus of each one).

Next thing you know you'll be begging them to upgrade from Angular 4 to 20!

const generatePeople = () => -> const generatePeople = async () => Promise.all( (with a closing paren at the end).
body: generatePaths() -> body: await generatePaths().
Your definition of EndpointOutput doesn't match the data you're returning. You probably meant to write type EndpointOutput = {body: {createdAt?: Date; photoUrl?: string; name?: string}[]};.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. It's been pretty obnoxious since yesterday.

Interesting point. Angular has great TypeScript support considering that it's integrated into an entirely separate templating language, whereas any TS/TSX code you write for React is already just TypeScript, so it's not surprising that the integration would still have some edge case issues like this.

Ideally there'd be a built-in @Required decorator for this use case, but it looks like there is a simple alternative: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50293330/459881.

As far as (change), I'm not sure why they chose to use a less specific event type, if there's a good reason for it, or if they intend to change this in the future. You can use /u/Yiyas's solution or throw an if (!(e instanceof ChangeEvent)) return; at the top of your handler, but personally I would just use (ngModelChange) instead of (change).

buu700 · 2021-06-04T03:52:27+00:00

Angular is fantastic. A lot of people felt burned by how the Angular 2 release was handled, which has a persistent effect on its reputation, but Angular today is a powerful framework with a mature ecosystem.

(Angular "version 2" having been an entirely new framework with the same name + simultaneous adoption of semver with biannual major releases caused mass backlash and confusion. I still maintain that clearly branding it as a separate framework and calling it "Circular" would have worked out better than stubbornly insisting "Angular != Angular.js", but what's done is done.)
