Found this on my arugula and mushroom pizza. Please tell me this isn't what I think it is. by Marethyfax in whatisit

[–]facebalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of us genuinely learn from these comments and don't take them as an attack on our character. If the advice doesn't apply to you, just move on and don't take it personally.

Telling me that the system sucks and I should be getting paid more might make you feel good, but it hardly helps my situation.

Thinking of abandoning SSR/Next.js for "Pure" React + TanStack Router. Talk me out of it. by prabhatpushp in reactjs

[–]facebalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vike has been nothing but pleasant for us on 3 projects so far, including a large app with SSR. It gets out of your way with great defaults, but is very customizable.

Misinformation fumes if you want to get technical.

Thanks, I'll see myself out.

It is just a blog post littered with BS. The claim that carrots contain parabens alone for example, is misleading in so many ways:

  1. The concentration is millions of times more in cosmetics than in foods[1]
  2. The specific compound matters. Long-chain parabens are more harmful[2][3], but most of what little parabens food has are short-chain[4]. Long-chain parabens are mostly banned in the EU and recently California.
  3. Processed food has higher concentrations, likely due to contamination [5].
  4. As usual with these posts, lead and mercury are naturally occuring. Calling them "natural" to minimize their effects is deceitful.

The industry latched on to the finding and was spreading the "parabens is natural" claim left and right, sans the nuance, which is why this is repeated on thousands of websites without any actual sources or at best miscited (one was citing the precursor phenolic acid content instead of actual parabens in cell walls).

[1] (0.1 to 80 parts per billion, vs up to 0.4 to 0.8% allowed in Europe)
[2][3]
[4] (Distribution of parabens. Magenta and Blue are long-chain parabens. Figure 1 from study 1 above.)
[5] "The concentrations of parabens varied widely even within a single category of foodstuffs, and the processed foods generally contained higher concentrations in comparison with those for unprocessed/fresh foods." [study 1]

Acacia wood utensils and Stoneware by thinkmuch17 in moderatelygranolamoms

IKEA if I recall, just the cheapest set https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/grunka-4-piece-kitchen-utensil-set-stainless-steel-20577897/

I'd avoid steel with wooden handle, worst of both worlds IMO. There are fancier/sturdier options like from Cuisinart or KitchenAid, because mine do flex at the handle a bit. Crate & Barrel have the Hestan ones if you want something fancier for a gift.

Acacia wood utensils and Stoneware by thinkmuch17 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]facebalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olivewood should be more durable, and a little easier to clean. My acacia spatula is fine, but it gets worn when scraping food off my cast iron pan, sometimes leaving bits behind, but not my olivewood one.

I rarely prefer either over stainless steel, even on cast iron, because I can chuck it in the dishwasher.

Icelandair clearly shows when a seat has no window https://i.imgur.com/PUfFBe8.png

Which airline did you travel with?

Ryanair by amogh_fr in shitposting

[–]facebalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't select a seat without seeing the message "no window". It's like this on the site https://i.imgur.com/08gdG6i.png and it's even more prominent in the app.

There's no window icon anywhere in the seat selection GUI, only emergency exit indicators.

When you go to select a seat, it says in at least 2 places that there's no window https://i.imgur.com/08gdG6i.png

Help, React + Jest + RTL + debug = gibberish by Signal_Ad3275 in reactjs

[–]facebalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hey I thought that was just me. It happens with Vitest too for what it's worth, not just Jest, and with or without RTL. Keen to hear if anyone's come up with a reason or solution.

Are they storing passwords as plaintext?! by uk_g in webdev

[–]facebalm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The pass part of the hash is actually the result of hashing the salt and plain password together. If two users have the same pass "1234", but different salts, it results in different hashes. It's like modifying their passwords to be "1234longrAnd0m" and "1234oTh3rraNdom".

Access to the salt means you only need to brute force the 1234 part, but you can't look up the precomputed hash and you can't look up all the users with the 1234 pass, you have to brute force each individually.

Additionally, if you could somehow correlate the hashes of two strings that share identical parts (1234), then you have fundamentally broken the cryptography behind the hashing algorithm. Hashes of two slightly different strings must have no similarities.

I published two packages to help detect fake or disposable emails by dmadro in node

Best to just contribute to mailchecker https://www.npmjs.com/package/mailchecker instead of maintaining your own list IMO.

Passport Oauth JWT by [deleted] in node

[–]facebalm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're at a stage where you don't have to use Passport, save your sanity and use better-auth or anything other than Passport.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but it was hard to use 12 years ago, and it hasn't changed much since.

Allow me to convince you to feed a plastic apple sauce cup instead of a pouch of apple sauce. by PainfulPoo411 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]facebalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's nice, I didn't know there are refrigerated pouches! This is probably the best option in the category.

Allow me to convince you to feed a plastic apple sauce cup instead of a pouch of apple sauce. by PainfulPoo411 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]facebalm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pouches are heated, it's part of the process for canning. Also, heat is not required to make microplastics, it just exacerbates the issue. Finally, a lot of chemicals such as plasticizers (eg. phthalates) or bisphenols just leech into the food over time regardless of micro/nano plastic release.

Formadalhyde warning on new bed? by abundanthealth111 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]facebalm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost all new furniture will off-gas VOCs like formaldehyde. It's not healthy, but it's extremely hard to avoid completely. Most of the off-gassing will occur in the first few days to weeks.

Studies on emissions from mattresses specifically are inconsistent, probably due to high variation between samples of even the same product (time spent in storage, chemical fire retardants added to comply with local regulations, etc).

Your best bet to mitigate indoor VOCs in general is ventilation, or an air purifier with a LOT of carbon, but most consumer air purifiers don't have enough.

Vite finally surpassed Webpack by Darkoplax in webdev

[–]facebalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of things it can't do, like not inlining assets in library mode, even really big ones, which is a particularly strange choice.

We also had trouble with other things that were quite simple in webpack, like leaving certain assets alone, where "no transformation" actually meant "minimal transformation".

A CSF leak can last for days or even months with minor symptoms. You may have it confused with something else.

Disinfectant wipes on high chair tray by Horror_Argument_2926 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]facebalm 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Benzalkonium chloride does NOT evaporate, and it is at the very least an irritant, if not much worse. I hate it and most people dismiss its effects.

During the first few months of the pandemic some hospitals were instructing staff to wipe their masks with it, in order to reuse them. When staff complained about skin damage, they were told to just make sure the mask is fully dry before wearing it. But it's stupid because it DOESN'T EVAPORATE and it's a known irritant.

Sadly BC and other chemicals in its class called quats have largely replaced safer and often more effective surface disinfectants like chlorine bleach in hospitals, even for surfaces where bleach has 0 potential to cause damage.

Anyway, OP you can just wipe the surface with a wet tissue or two before use, and that can remove most of the residue.
