It’s unavoidable - once the cheese gets hot enough the steam will either force the liquid cheese out of existing holes, or it will make its own holes.
Make sure they are fresh out of the freezer when you put them in, as this lets the outside crisp up more before the inside becomes lava. Once you get close to the prescribed cooking time, you need to just sit in front of the oven door and watch them, and as soon as 2-3 break open, take the whole tray out
It’s pretty common in Canada to be able to order fries with sour cream, green onion, tomatoes, and cheese/queso. (It’s the best thing on taco bells menu and they don’t even have it state-side)
That being said fries are way greasier than a baked potato, and they are better suited to more acidic condiments (ketchup, malt vinegar, etc)
Doing two timelines in parallel

Yeah, when I first read the book I did that thing where you space out and read a page and a half while absorbing nothing, and I was similarly taken aback how it progressed from “let’s blow up the shield wall” to “Irulan and I are married and ruling the galaxy now” in basically a 30 second lapse of attention
Halo gets a lot of hate because it deviates from the source material. It’s also a lot better than it has any reason to be, because it deviates from the source material.
Python 3.12’s compiler tells you to fuck off
OSError: File or directory not found “C:WindowsSystem32”
Yeah but then ALL even numbers would be slow to compute because you would have to chain through every odd before you know that 2 is even.
Depends on the expected distribution of input values
This has already been patched on all 64 bit OSes though - whatever 32 bit systems are still in existence in another 15 years will just roll their dates back 50 years and add another layer of duct tape to their jerry-rigged existence
It was coined in the late 80s, but as far as “affronts to tech” that is a very minor offence compared to what shows normally pull
Yes, which is EXACTLY like a pip freeze’d requirements.txt, storing the exact version of every package and downstream dependency you have installed
But running those pip commands you mentioned is only going to affect what version gets installed initially.
I don’t follow. If my package-lock.json specifies package X v1.1 nothing stops me from manually telling npm to install package X v1.2, it will just update my package.json and package-lock.json afterwards
If a requirements.txt specifies X==1.1, pip will install v1.1, not 1.2 or a newer version. If I THEN install package Y that depends on X>1.1, the pip install output will say 1.1 is not compatible and that it is being upgraded to 1.2 to satisfy package Y’s requirements. If package Y works fine on v1.1 and does not require the upgrade, it will leave package X at the version you had previously installed.
Would that just create a list of the current packages/versions
Yes, and all downstream dependencies
without actually locking anything?
What do you mean? Nothing stops someone from manually installing an npm package that differs from package-lock.json - this behaves the same. If you pip install -r requirements.txt it installs the exact versions specified by the package maintainer, just like npm install the only difference is python requires you to specify the “lock file” instead of implicitly reading one from the CWD
How is it not a lock file?
package.json doesn’t contain the exact version number of all downstream dependencies, this does
pip also has lock files
pip freeze > requirements.txt
The unsubscribes? Or the “I never signed up for this” count
On the unsub front, only ~30% of our mailing list engages with sends (opens the email), and I’m willing to bet up to 50% of our mailing list is “dead” emails, so really it’s 2-3x that number in practice. We have CASL to comply with so we aren’t willy nilly with adding people to our list either.
For us, probably 1 in 10-15ish say they never signed up. We also have a double opt in, meaning every single one of them opened an email and clicked a link to confirm they wanted to keep getting marketing emails
About 0.2% of people unsubscribe every time we send something out
In this case, by “audit” it was more of a metaphorical “here is our setup, do we plug this into slot A or B, we don’t want to read the 300 page manual”, so 1 hour was literally all it needed
Spoiler: I ended up reading the 300 page manual, it took a week. That was 3 years ago and we have never touched it since
Very much 4
We wanted to get an engineer to audit something we set up, talking like 1 hour phone call, maybe 1 hour of work beyond that if something needed to be adjusted
We wasted like 4 hours on the line with different agencies (talking to sales people) who wanted to connect us with a DIFFERENT agency to do the actual work, who wanted us to sign a 3 year service contract.
Like no, “please just let us talk to one of your senior engineers and bill us $500/hr for his time”
lol. Did this in my old building - the dryer was on an improperly rated circuit and the breaker would trip half the time, eating my money and leaving wet clothes.
It was one of the old, “insert coin, push metal chute in” types. Turns out you could bend a coat hanger and fish it through a hole in the back to engage the lever that the push-mechanism was supposed to engage. Showed everyone in the building.
The landlord came by the building a month later and asked why there was no money in the machines, I told him “we all started going to the laundromat down the street because it was cheaper”
