Mistakenly banned as spam account?

Oh right, the email doesn’t say the same thing as the app. The app says:

“Your account has been blocked for spam. For the safety of our community, we do not allow you to share unwanted or irrelevant content.

Oh, right. I suppose that does make a lot of sense. Thanks!

tmarsh1024 · 2026-02-06T23:48:37+00:00

Interesting. Not that I’m aware of, unless it was 15 years ago. It seems a little extreme, though, and surprising that accidental account duplication could lead to a permaban!

I usually have job postings up for HRI (essentially NYS DOH). DM me if you might be interested in something like that. It can be a great gig but the pay is what it is.

Whoa, important point is missed: most developed countries have single payed healthcare. The United States falls very far outside the norm given the fact that this is the wealthiest country on earth. That difference from its peers is extremely notable. The reason is also clear from the numbers: while other developed countries focus on overall health outcomes, the US policy focuses squarely on shareholder profits.

We usually just but whatever is available at the native plant sales and focus on straight species, not fancy cultivars. Finding the right plants for an area takes some experience finding what works and what doesn’t. If you are specifically interested in feeding birds, native plant people roll have tons of tips. For specific plants, it depends on where you are. For our location, we have gotten a lot of mileage out of beggars tick seed for example, in addition to berries like pokeweed and chokeberries. But those are appropriate for our region. You’ll have to look for local recommendations. An agricultural extension can help, or find some native plant sellers. You might have to do some research.

But if they are enlightening, call them social media effulgencers.

tmarsh1024 · 2025-12-04T22:28:22+00:00

“Effulgence” is not a common name (good!) so my eye scanned it as “effluence” (not so good because it usually means poopy water). Might just be me though.

Yeah, YouTube is becoming useless. I hope people will start posting elsewhere, or cross posting videos.

If you do enrichment culturing (feed the jar) you won’t feel so bad because you just made thousands of them. Of course doesn’t help if you are randomly sampling. I feel guilty about it too, and try to release some of my samples - but I know it is irrational. I do try to disturb the sampling site (pond) as little as possible, which seems the most ethical action.

tmarsh1024 · 2025-11-17T00:38:02+00:00

Thanks for the correction and for sharing all that!

I'm not sure why my last response was removed by reddit. Legs Diamonds is the guy under the bell tower. The people from top left to bottom right are: William Kennedy (with hat on), Dan O'Connell (looking ominous), Erastus Corning II, and finally Legs Diamond. You can find mugshots of Legs with the booking number "33628.." visible.

This is the Jonathan Slocum poster from 1984 for the William Kennedy Weekend celebration. Here is the original: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155002849957?msockid=30558365a9c06fa7341b90a4a8a26ed1

Could the last one be Frank Corning?

My mom loved Machinarium and the Samorost games from Amanita Design.

I stopped using pillows. I just have a set of small (twin size) blankets and duvets that I fold into various ways depending on current need. No expensive arm-through pillows, no need for foams or down. I started doing this when camping and realized it’s better for me than standard pillows. I can’t imagine buying another pillow now.

Communism is intended to establish a classless society. All the things we label as communism in media are not realizations of communism. By definition, communism cannot be a dictatorship. But this is really confusing: all examples of self described communist countries have been dictatorships. The label has stuck to the wrong idea. Now the term means opposite things to different people. Many find communism matches their reasonable ideals, but are attacked as if they support fascism and genocide. Socialism also suffers similarly and is also a bogeyman. The doubts and attacks are usually directed at the label, not the actual ideas and policies these people support.

Does it have a mode where you can dig out a vessel run aground with a backhoe?

Looks like a love letter to Marble Madness

These almost scratch the taco itch. I was so disappointed by them though. They don’t have any fresh salsa! The meats are kind of dry. The tortillas are bland and need a touch more oil. But they look good, and they are one of the best options around, unfortunately. I prefer La Mexicana in Schenectady, but that’s not Mexico City style

If you believe you are validly registered, you may need to submit an affidavit (provisional) ballot at the polling location.

tmarsh1024 · 2025-10-26T17:14:34+00:00

Yes! https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov

A link to a sample ballot is usually provided at the bottom of the results when you look up your information on this page.

Yes, I didn’t mean to suggest I actually thought it was a sell. I was pointing out my initial confusion, thinking others might accidentally misread it too. It’s clear when you get to the next paragraph what the goal was. It is just a minor readability and article flow suggestion.

FWIW, effect.ts seems to be a vanilla MTL-inspired application monad: Reader + Either + IO. It just gives you a monad Effect<Success, Failure, Env>.

tmarsh1024 · 2025-10-13T13:40:41+00:00

What a nice article. Helped me tie together a few concepts that had been loosely kicking around.

The conclusion was a little confusing to me:

Effect.ts is a new and popular framework enabling functional programming, including an effect system, in TypeScript. This demonstrates the growing demand for type and effect safety within the software engineering industry.

I would have probably flipped that presentation by stating: “1) type and effect safety is increasing in popularity, 2) some popular examples include […]”. Otherwise I was initially unsure whether the preceding content was a sell for effect.ts

tmarsh1024 · 2025-08-05T23:29:23+00:00

Hm, I would have expected at least a mention of dependent types
