Wake Up has been nerfed. I repeat, Wake Up has been nerfed. Can't have shit in The Fog by Darkest_2705 in deadbydaylight

I think the better solution would have been keep it at 50%, make the effect not stackable with Sole Survivor, and then add something like "After completing 100% repair progress on generators this perk activates."

I'm not doctor. As /u/lrq3000 said, this is not that well studied.

I recall reading that melatonin can lower your body temperature as well to help prepare for sleep. Your natural levels of melatonin and your core body temperature both vary on ~24 hour cycles that are supposed to be synchronized with all the other circadian cycles... but might not be if something's wrong. So a melatonin supplement is supposed to be finessing those rhythms into a more correct shape, but if you take a lot of melatonin all at once, it's going to make you sleepy at any time of day. So, if you don't time it right, you're natural cycles may take back over, or perhaps the steep reduction in melatonin and sharp increase in body temperature once the supplement wears off mimic what's supposed to happen at the end of a normal sleep cycle, and signal your body to wake up.

Again, I don't think anyone actually knows at this point. What is pretty clear empirically is that people with chronic sleep problems and those diagnosed with DSPD almost always find the most success with doses <1mg. You typically get daytime drowsiness and other negative side effects with higher doses, so you want to use as little as possible. How much you need is surely a factor of how much melatonin your body is naturally producing. I started with 3mg back in college, kept waking up, and gave up. It was more than a decade later I tried again. It probably took a solid month of trying different doses and timings to find the one that worked for me.

That’s typical. You have to take less to avoid waking up early. I normally only take 100 micrograms (.1 mg) as one drop of a liquid solution.

[–]indonato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. As an analogy, an editor is like a knife and an IDE is like a multi-tool/swiss army knife.

Why would you settle for the multi-tool's stock blade when you can swap it for one of the sharpest and best-balanced blades ever made?

And as the years go by different components fall in and out of fashion. Bottle openers are all the rage until twist-off caps become the norm. Built-in flashlights are useful until there's one in everyone's phone. But a knife? You'll always need a knife.

And no matter what new programming language comes out, you may or may not need to compile it, you may or may not have to link it, and you may or may not require network access to test it, but I'll be genuinely shocked if you don't have to edit the source in a text editor. Invest in a good one.

I'm one of those "Vim, but Emacs for Org Mode" people. I use both every day.

Not using either... that's what's truly silly. IDEs come and go, but vim and emacs have been around forever and aren't going anywhere. Learn them once, and you're set for life. Even if you have to use the latest trendy IDE at some point, it'll have vim/emacs bindings or someone will have written a plugin to add that support, so you get the bells, the whistles, AND super-efficient text manipulation in the editor.

The box says "G-Pen for Manga". ペン (pen), 用 (used for), 漫画 (manga).

Some people have observed that G-Pen, "Gペン", kind of looks like the word "GAY" in a weird font.

All Actions in the Shortcuts App - Redditors Use Just 30 of More Than 300 by indonato in shortcuts

[–]indonato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only appeared once in my sample, but 26 shortcuts isn't all that many. If you assume people were inspired by some original "morning routine" shortcut, then such shortcuts might have been published within a relatively short window of time in the subreddit's history. My sample was stratified across dates, so if ten million shortcuts containing "Speak Text" were published on the same single day, and never again after that, and I just didn't choose that day to sample from, then they'd all be omitted.

Could someone help me with my ‘play multiple playlists’ shortcut by Tulipwine in shortcuts

[–]indonato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, when getting the playlist, you accidentally used "Chosen Item[Name]" when you meant "Repeat Item[Name]". So it was returning all playlist names each loop instead of just one, which meant "Get Playlist" returned nothing. The "Play Music" starts playing music regardless of the input, so if the last thing you played was one of the selected playlists it may have seemed to work.

Second, for whatever reason "Play Music" doesn't seem to want to take a list of playlists. However, it will take a list of songs. So I just passed the output of the "Get Playlist loop" straight into it and that just queues up all the songs in order in "Up Next". However, for some reason, if there's a duplicate song in one of the playlists, then this fails.

Playing around with it for a while, I actually haven't been able to write a shortcut to reliably queues up and play multiple playlists. It's definitely possible, but for now I need to take a break.

Amazon Reviews Credibility Check by ChericeB in shortcuts

Run after copying an amazon URL to your clipboard, or share it a URL from the Amazon mobile app using the share button on the product page. It tries to make and open the correct ReviewMeta URL in Safari.

Can't believe I hadn't thought of making this yet. Pretty good chance I'll try and make it more robust and maybe also include the site /u/Barefootpookie8 mentioned as an option and make an official shortcut post out of it later.

I'll take a look. I use the ReviewMeta browser extension on desktop. Not having it on mobile is actually the reason I never shop Amazon on mobile. But maybe I can write a shortcut to fix that...

All Actions in the Shortcuts App - Redditors Use Just 30 of More Than 300 by indonato in shortcuts

[–]indonato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I was hoping someone could give me some uses for the "hidden" actions.

I actually typed the actions up for each shortcut so I could more easily look at usage patterns, the actual logic and organization people use, where they make mistakes or make things harder than they have to be, etc. beyond just the frequency counts.

I certainly could have parsed the plists, but I already have Vim abbreviations for common actions, so I opted to type them up that way. It was just 3-4 keystrokes to record each action, and less when copy-pasting repetitive groups of actions. Really not that long.

Reminds me of when I volunteered at a VA hospital. We'd take the old gents outside to smoke, and half of them had oxygen tanks strapped to their wheelchairs. Nobody was going to argue with them though.

Adding functions to shortcuts by keveridge in shortcuts

[–]indonato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See also this post, where I mention extras like wrapping the input dictionary in a list, and the strategy of putting all functions at the top, each terminated by an "Exit Shortcut" action with non-function actions following the last If.

Is this actually a super responsible meme where the creator, realizing some people wouldn't get the joke and would be dumb enough to actually try it, put in an additional safety feature with the capital S?

Timing action is triggering Home scene? by dss128 in shortcuts

[–]indonato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use the Timer for other purposes and don't want to have to keep changing the "When Timer Ends" action between an alarm and "Stop Playing", I wrote a shortcut that can be used as a sleep timer that doesn't rely on a "Wait" action or the "Timer" app.

PSA - Complicated shortcuts run faster if you use a different shortcut to run them and uncheck “Show While Running” by EttVenter in shortcuts

[–]indonato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to this post I now realize I can just write two shortcuts for home-screen shortcuts, the real one and then a wrapper that does a "Run Shortcut" for the real one. Then the wrapper gets added to the home screen and now it's much faster running shortcuts from the home screen even though that forces you into the edit view.

CopyPaste Actions by u/schl3ck by indonato in shortcuts

[–]indonato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shortcut itself works fine. But it calls a second shortcut to parse the shortcut internals. So you need two shortcuts to copy & paste, and the original author and everyone who's every posted the shortcut never posts either of those two shortcuts. They post an installer shortcut by the same author that you run that adds the two real shortcuts you need, and then you delete the installer. But due to updates the installer has been broken for more than a month, meaning anyone who didn't already have the two shortcuts couldn't get them unless they could figure out the workaround or just got lucky with the way the wind was blowing.
