And also if you're gonna be tracking your calories, be liberal with the caloric value of what you're eating. There's some really messed up entries for caloric value of things in MyFitnessPal that extremely underestimate how many calories are in certain foods. Like an entry for a full-sized cinnamon bun that says it's 150 calories (just making up an example, but I've seen things that absurd)

Too many people complain about tracking calories not working for them, and I guarantee it's that they weren't tracking properly.

Edit: Oh another thing: with stuff like protein powder measuring itself in scoops, they tend to be way off in how many grams are in a scoop. I don't know how they get away with it, but if you measure with a scale how many grams are in a scoop, it can be like 25% more than what it says on the tub

I want to buy one but looking at the Amazon Canada listing, it's gonna rack up to $250 + tax

Does "approved for chrome" mean it's going to be implemented, or just that there's enough people in favor on the Chrome side that they think it's worth submitting for standardization approval?

>One of my favorite ideas that was kicked around by Brett Lider during these days was the ability to double like something, and perhaps even let people give as many likes as they wanted!

Makes me think of the claps on Medium articles

It sounds like Roblox does want there to be dedicated Roblox developers. I saw a clip from one of their conventions with someone, possibly the CEO, saying they envision companies of 100 people doing Roblox development

If you're gonna go through that much effort, you might as well just text someone an actually illegal image from something other than an iPhone

You're already attempting to frame someone for a crime, might as well commit another crime while you're at it

> I'm pretty sure pedophiles can figure out what a watermark or a gaussian blur in paint net is, or it's imprecise and actually detects things which is the very thing that makes it dangerous to the public

Or better yet, they can just not store their stuff on an iPhone. While meanwhile, millions of innocent people are have their photos scanned and risking being reported as a pedophile.

It's funny timing to announce this the day after a major outage that took down practically the entire platform

When I'm on my Mac I don't really use a minimize button ever. I organize all my windows between virtual desktops. One for calendar/notes, one for browsers and maybe the downloads folder open, one for IDE and terminal, one for chat apps, etc.

Doesn't seem much better on iOS. I just checked and I've got Twitter with 2.59GB, Instagram with 1.27GB, TikTok with 1.21GB, etc.

I'm surprised mismatching parenthesis was a common mistake in 2016 given the ubiquity of IDEs and text editors that should catch a syntax error like that.

== vs .equals() is pretty understandable considering that it's Java specific, and would be valid in most(?) other languages

I thought I read from a McDonald's employee at some point that most of the time you go at night and they say the ice cream machine isn't working, it's actually some automatic cleaning process that the machine performs on itself every night.

This seems nice. I'm not a huge Discord user but one thing that always bugs me when I'm occasionally using it is when there's 2 topics of conversation going on at once. It especially happens a lot in help threads, where 2 people are needing help at the same time and people have to keep replying to the previous message in that conversation.

Though at the same time, it seems a bit weird that it's almost like a sub-channel? Does that mean in this scenario you'd have a whole list of threads down the side underneath the channel for every question?

I see people complaining about Slack threads but I personally find them perfect for what it needs to do. Creating a short thread from a message doesn't seem as big of a deal as what this looks to be doing.

That sounds like a fairly big ethical dilemma that Disney will happily ignore if making a puppet show out of people's corpses earns them a few extra bucks
