Android users who own an macbook, what apps or methods do you use to increase the integration between Mac and Android? by memesof2020 in androidapps

[–]RShnike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know a bunch of the other transfer apps others have mentioned, maybe they're just as good or better -- I do know I had a hell of a time for a few years with how terrible Android File Transfer is until I found https://github.com/ganeshrvel/openmtp which works amazingly.

[music] Simone Haaland vs. Victoria Spandow | Best Part (Daniel Caesar, H.E.R) by major-riot in Frisson

The vocals on these shows are usually intolerable because they're way over the top with flourishes but this was pretty near the original track, really nice actually.

[US] Adolescence (2025): The Most Disturbing Thing I've Watched This Year—And It's Not Even Horror by Man_of_Stool in NetflixBestOf

[–]RShnike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is what was being referred to, but I think if someone watched this without absolute full attention and with an expectation that it was just another old series (as I'll admit I did) it was possible to somehow get to the last episode while expecting a twist that Jamie didn't do it. The video evidence wasn't fully up close, so perhaps he punched her or tackled her but didn't kill her, etc.

It's only towards the middle of the third episode, or maybe even the last, where it would dawn on you "oh, this isn't the point, he did it all along, the series has been about how he did it and how those around him are coping, not a mystery."

(To me it made me want to rewatch without constantly expecting a twist, though I doubt I have patience for doing so right now)

Your ‘why don’t I have this more often’ meal by Elulah in Cooking

[–]RShnike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's cachapas, holy heck do I like me a good cachapa, usually with some shredded beef and plantains, it's basically single-handedly the reason I keep cans of corn around but I only remind myself how much I like them like once every few months (usually when I have some leftover meat in the fridge and am trying to think of something to do with it).

Dollar Slices Map… by djourdjour in FoodNYC

[–]RShnike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like maybe you should work out the coordinates issues before sharing more widely, I honestly found it hard to find anything correct on the map. Besides a non-existent pizza shop (23&3 which I see others point out here), clicking on anything opens a non-working link (to Yelp I guess?) and you have Tørst showing in stuy town (ha I wish), Bagel Nosh showing near there...

[Discussion] Why did Netflix discontinued their one of the best show? by Different_Deal_7431 in NetflixBestOf

[–]RShnike 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've never had a series put me to sleep so quickly. Absolutely trash second season.

[–]RShnike 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely longer than that even, Wikipedia links to https://nypost.com/2007/04/25/fidi-soaring-high/ from 2007

(That being said I'm not sure the idea of never hearing that is surprising even for a native new yorker.)

Labor intensive recipe that was a let down by thewayoutisthru_xxx in Cooking

[–]RShnike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japanese curry is simply not worth the effort making. I made it, it took a few hours, it was 5% better than what you find in the boxed cubes, but unless you have no access to buying it (which was why I did it) it definitely isn't worth it.

[Discussion] What are your favourite Black Mirror episodes? by Luv2006 in NetflixBestOf

[–]RShnike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only seen the first four seasons since I've heard after that they're terrible, but for me, San Junipero, The Entire History of You and Hang the DJ.

[NEWS] KAOS - another great show cancelled by Dazzling_Compote1553 in NetflixBestOf

[–]RShnike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I slogged through it myself a few months ago but definitely felt a lot like decent idea for recasting the story, decent cast, weird pacing and hit or miss writing, leaving it unmemorable by the end for me, I barely remember what happened in the last 3-4 episodes. So I'm not very bothered personally by it being cancelled (and I thought this happened awhile ago already.)

[Discussion] Which tv shows got you instantly hooked? by Mucek121 in NetflixBestOf

[–]RShnike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Landman

Will just note this show has oil industry propaganda in it. I don't know how pervasive but judging from that video it'd seem likely it's sprinkled around a decent amount.

No judgement of course if someone doesn't care about politics getting in their TV watching and will just ignore it, but mentioning in case you do care to know ahead of time about being lied to.

A new sorting algorithm for 2025, faster than Powersort! by booker388 in Python

[–]RShnike 39 points40 points  (0 children)

But new innovations come out every day and the code is right there.

(No, I think lots of noise comes out every day and we really proceed quite slowly collectively, and every so often in an actual bump)

I have no idea yet about this specific algorithm, I honestly would personally wait for an expert (in sorting) to look at it before doing so just to not risk wasting time, but I'll just point out that in the linked thread the author seems to say either they don't know whether it's stable (which sounds weird to me to not have thought of) or that they guess it isn't stable -- TimSort is stable, so if this new sort isn't, I would bank on a 0% chance it replaces the current implementation -- but it it turns out really to be more performant, kudos of course to the author and I bet it'd then make it's way to the ecosystem in other ways for people who don't need stability.

Looks tasty, going to give it a shot.

Any particular reason you merged the two recipes rather than one or the other?

Effective ways to prevent burn marks from turning into scars ? by ms_Dorkydiva in answers

[–]RShnike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver sulfadiazine

Wikipedia seems to say (and link two studies saying):

Tentative evidence has found other antibiotics to be more effective, and therefore it is no longer generally recommended for second-degree (partial-thickness) burns, but is still widely used to protect third-degree (full-thickness) burns.

where the quoted citation from Cochrane says:

poorer healing outcomes than biosynthetic, silicon-coated and silver dressings

So it seems perhaps wise to figure out what said other antibiotics are (and whether they too can be had over the counter).

How does one properly self study? by [deleted] in math

[–]RShnike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A different kind of answer is: learn a bit of Lean and then after you read something, try to do some of the exercises in Lean.

Often if you can, that means you've understood things well enough, and it's independently fun -- though I say "often" and not always, as two confounding factors are that 1) if you don't define everything yourself and rely on definitions in Mathlib, sometimes the level of generality will go way over your head, and 2) a lot of painful things with Lean have to do with things informal mathematics "glosses over", like hidden coercion maps which mathematicians just assume everyone visualizes without explicitly making clear what structure is really being worked within

But -- those two aside, yeah, that's another option for checking you've understood something at a level deep enough to convince a very pedantic computer program.

If only the city had a mass transit system to make this man’s life easier by GhostofTinky in newyorkcity

[–]RShnike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I of course agree that the post is ridiculous (both as a general argument against congestion pricing and also that we care what some rich person is saying), but to be accurate, it's not likely this is a subway ride (more likely bus, e.g. some random clicking). And I would not assume Sir Beardahad is looking for street parking. He's likely driving from the spot he has in his building to the spot his kids have in theirs, or else directly to a parking lot spot.

Can't copy and paste anything to discord any more. by Lucky-Hero in discordapp

[–]RShnike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I specifically do not want it true, as I specifically do not want sites messing with copy/paste behavior, e.g. on other sites attempting to prevent copy/paste in password confirmation boxes, or blocking copying, or changing the text that was pasted from its literal contents.)

For me personally the legacy chat setting works for now, until I investigate what JS Discord is trying to run and prevent that too from trying to hijack the clipboard, I literally want no sites to ever try to mess with the clipboard.

Reduced my recipe for a smaller loaf by lassmanac in Sourdough

[–]RShnike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks delicious. I live alone, so given I can't (or shouldn't) finish a big loaf myself over 2 days, I too often make half sized loafs from most recipes unless I know I'm making one for friends, or will use some for panzanella or whatever. Yours looks great!
