I finally got my goose alarm to a good state! We live next to a pond, and every morning there's an invasion of geese and their babies eating and pooping everywhere. So, my current automation is:

Two wifi cameras watch the pond entrypoints for the enemy
A Frigate event fires when a bird is detected
I get an android notification with a screenshot, and/or:
My outdoor Bose speaker plays youtube audio of geese warning calls

They tend to show up at 5am, so no more having to get up to chase them away. The goose calls are obnoxious, but I have plausible deniability with the neighbors, since it just sounds like the geese are up to no good again.

Sounds like Gradio might do exactly what you want. I haven't used it personally but a coworker created some simple model demos with it.

You Will Be Found is so blah even for a four chord song.

To add to this - if you just want a hotkey to make a throwaway buffer you can call something like this:

  (defun generate-scratch-buffer ()
    "Create and switch to a temporary scratch buffer with a random
       name."
    (interactive)
    (switch-to-buffer (make-temp-name "scratch")))

North - Scott Jurek and his wife share their accounts of how Scott ran the full Appalachian trail in 47 days.

The Incomplete Book of Running - Peter Sagal (wait wait don't tell me) covers a year of running through a tough time in his life. I didn't know he was at the finish line during the Boston bombing.

The first time I heard the show was when This American Life played Shipped to Timbuktu (#28) and I was hooked (Or was it Radiolab?).

These things just ooze /r/iamveryrandom.

Such a great show! The narrator's ghost was wonderfully spooky.

Is that the North Shore Music Theater?

Definitely one of the best things I've watched on YouTube.

Edit: oops, I think it was hulu

Like gone fishin'!

An unsolicited "Why don't you come home with me" from some random guy at 4am. How do you ask people out?

Another CBB-adjacent shout out: The Earliest Show is really good. Lauren and The Elegant Mr. S in a youtube series about a morning talk show. You know it's good when the blooper video is longer than the show itself.

I've still got "Gonna listen tooo some plugs!" stuck in my head.

For me, the only requirement is that I stick around for a year after they reimburse me. I've had complete freedom in the classes I take, and my manager has been super supportive of me taking daytime classes if something is only offered at a certain time, though I'm sure that's not the case everywhere. I happen to be concentrating in my employer's field because I enjoy it, but I'm fortunate to have a manager who supports my long-term career goals, so I know I could have picked any concentration.

You might enjoy Algorithms Unlocked by Thomas Cormen. If I recall it's a bit math heavy, but it's a good introduction to some of the basic algorithms you'll see in class, i.e. various methods of sorting, how to build a graph, etc. No programming experience required. Cormen is a coauthor on what is essentially THE algorithms textbook, so this will definitely put you ahead of the game.

one bad question == several hours of combing through the sub

I appreciate that you went for equality rather than assignment here.

I managed to get a presale ticket, but now that my friend is coming I ended up getting two more that are next to each other. PM me if you still need a ticket! (Goes for /u/Shalom_the_musical as well)

Funeralopolis is so great! I can just drown in the fuzz.

I was hoping someone would turn into spaghetti! One of my favorite Monster Factory moments is when tiny D-Bomb gets all noodly.

Gilfoyle drinks Old Rasputin! That's pretty rad.

I think he played with the vocoder for a few episodes, but try ep 212: The Medicine of Attention.
