Here is a tampermonkey script to disable the youtube progress bar gradient:

I just added this to my userstyle CSS for YouTube:

  /* Remove pink tint from end of progress bar */
  .ytp-play-progress.ytp-swatch-background-color,
  .style-scope.ytd-thumbnail-overlay-resume-playback-renderer,
  .ytp-scrubber-button.ytp-swatch-background-color {
      background: var(--yt-spec-static-brand-red) !important;
  }

A good companion video to this might be The Psychology of Extreme Rhythms from Adam Neely's channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRLTjESyuQk

There was always something I liked about Forth when I didn't have to do much stack-thinking. One of the things that felt forth-y to me when I first encountered it was threaded code in Clojure (or any other point-free kind of idiom for that matter).

I'll sometimes abuse Python's compose to do similar things I won't send out for code review. Maybe I really should just try to live in Coconut instead of silly stuff like:

  import chess
  import chess.svg
  from IPython.display import SVG, display
  from functools import reduce
  
  
  def rcompose(*fs):
      return reduce(lambda f, g: lambda *xs, **ys: g(f(*xs, **ys)), fs)
  
  inline_board = rcompose(
          chess.Board,
          chess.svg.board,
          SVG,
          display)

Factor's quotations dealing with stack management weirdness is super nice, too.

It still has a bit more stack juggling than I like, though. That could just be a "me" problem. Props to that whole community for their effort.

I've found smaller categories of products with decent reviews on youtube. Project Farm and America's Test Kitchen spring to mind. I'm not sure they're as rigorous, but it's beyond what I'm willing to do at home by myself.

I wish other YouTubers would take note of the information density that Project Farm packs in to his videos. It's really something else.

He didn't take credit for making the wire, so no.

Last time I ate in SF, I walked past a guy smoking crack on the sidewalk. But, yeah... big house with a big yard is nice.

Can’t reply to the comment below inquiring about odor, but people smoking crack are easy to spot as you don’t roll crack in a cigarette, you smoke it out of a heated glass pipe. It looks entirely different. So it’s easy to notice when done in the open. As far as odor… I think it smells a lot like meth that, when smoked, smells like an odd laundry detergent that you have never smelled before. Sort of like a decaying air freshener. That’s the best I can do.

> people smoking crack are easy to spot as you don’t roll crack in a cigarette, you smoke it out of a heated glass pipe. It looks entirely different.

This isn't entirely accurate, as crack isn't the only drug people use "crack pipes" for. I couldn't tell you what, if anything, crack smells like because I'm not aware of having every been in the vicinity of it being consumed, but I have been around people using what look like crack pipes and I've used them myself too.

In my case: a few times I tried vaping weed with them (though for weed an electric dry herb vape is better, and if wanting to use glass pipe and a flame there are designed-for-weed vapes which are better than generic crack-type pipes), and DMT is another illegal drug that needs (when in pure form, rather than changa) to be vaped rather than smoked - so a crack pipe can be useful for that too. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other drugs that sort of pipe can be used for, too.

Personally I wouldn't use that sort of "crack" pipe in public, partly because many people think like you that it must be crack that's being used, and partly because even people who dont have that incorrect belief could still rightly (or at least, almost always rightly) deduce that something illegal is being consumed.

What.. what does crack smoke smell like?

Cigarettes I know. Marijuana is a bit funky, but it's easy because--by process of elimination--it's not a cancer stick. But now I have to squirrel away a third possibility.

A quick search suggests it smells like burning plastic or rubber

Are you sure it wasn’t fentanyl? The smoke smells like burnt peanut butter, common smell on public transit here in Seattle.

I find this video (series) helps break down Bleed pretty nicely:

I'm with you mostly on the "really like" side. Sound all the way around is excellent. Little details like the horn blowing dust when they disembark from the ships on Arrakis are great. Salusa Secundus in the rain was great. The overall visual style is great. Casting was mostly great.

I just wish some of the sets were a bit more dense. The room for the Gom Jabbar scene, the Bene Gesserit walking back to the ship, cone of silence scene, and especially the palace fight on the stairs. Kinda gave my Sky Captain vibes.

I also don't like cutting the tension between Jessica and Thufir, although if Thufir doesn't end up under the Baron I guess I get it.

99% of what?

It's nearly 4% of the US population (2021).

Land area, since we are talking about things that take up space (parking) and have to take into account that most people in these cities don’t own cars because of adequate (not great) public transportation.

It’s more interesting to have this conversation about a city like Dallas or Houston or St Louis or Tulsa, all of whom have absolutely kowtowed to car culture to create negative externalities like what this article is going on about and for which public transportation probably could not easily be described as “adequate” in comparison to the aforementioned cities of NY, SF, Chicago.

Almost 10% if you include the metro areas. SF, NY, and Chicago account for a significant portion of how Americans experience the world.
