But does it really make less sense to say “a string slice”?

That’s an interesting point. You say “a pizza slice” or “a slice of pizza”, but you only say “a slice of bread”, not “a bread slice” (right? I’m not a native speaker).

An important question no-one has asked yet is, What do you need that info for?

Don’t they get their taste back when they reach room temperature again?

I hadn’t considered bureaucratic obstacles… that sucks.

Well, I commented that before I learned that OP is in New Mexico.

That sounds like something that would be apparent from the get-go, no?

I take it the most pressing issue right now is cooling. If that is right, you might have yet another avenue to explore: Ask facilities with cooling needs if you can store one or two pallets there. I’m thinking schools, (yet again) restaurants, ice cream parlors, ice skating rinks (not sure how they work exactly – is the whole building cooled or just the rink itself?), butchers. You could ask an outdoor gear shop (I mean a place where skis and winter jackets etc. are sold) if they know of a place where one can test jackets. They might know a cool place, too.

extra produce for free and they in turn have to prepare so many meals

Nitpick: If you’re demanding that they do something in return, it’s not free.

In this case your two options are: A) Someone gets the food and puts it to use; B) it spoils. In this scenario I believe giving it away, no strings attached, might be the better option.

I take it “nm” stands for New Mexico. What’s the weather like there? Sun-drying might be an option, at least dried tomatoes are something people buy.

For the watermelons you might try to contact a local vintner. They may be able to process them into wine and/or liquor.

If you’re willing to go there, you might post on local facebook groups.

You might try contacting restaurants and see if they have the capacity to cook ketchup (or something else with a longer shelf life) from the tomatoes. Technically, everybody can do that. I’m thinking of restaurants because of their bigger pots.

Speaking of restaurants: They might have a food dehydrator that can process some of the cauliflower, as well.

Also: Where is this? It’s a small world, some Lemming might pick up a cauliflower or two.

If I were in that situation, I would try quickly whipping up some homemade posters and put them at our market square, maybe in front of schools, and in front of grocery stores. I would make sure to specify why these are given away, otherwise people might be suspicious.

That would probably illegal, but …well… who’s going to sue a food bank over hanging a few posters for 2 days?

The key is to not reassign function names to local variables.

const print = obj.toString
print() // gives you a bad time

I like this warning. Many young people already suffer from hearing loss due to excessive volume. But I cannot understand why they don’t measure how loud the song actually is right now. I have many songs in my library that just are not mixed as loud, or start quietly and then ramp up. Why do I get the ‘your music is too loud’ message for those?

On my old-ass Samsung, you cannot turn down the volume while that message is shown. So when your phone is in a pocket and you increase the volume but don’t notice that the message appeared, you cannot save your ears when the next song actually is much louder.

50 million users have an extra 3 seconds of unnecessary lag in a day because you wanted to hit tab rather than write code? That’s nearly 5 years of cumulative wasted time.

As if anyone cared if they had to wait a total of 3 seconds in a workday. If it’s a second per user action, we’re talking, but this is some bare-metal CPU wrangler’s take on how ‘efficient’ code should behave; completely disregarding that most users who touch a computer need 5 seconds to type ‘hi’ into MS Teams.

Most engineers already write bloated, abstracted, glacial code that burns CPU cycles like a California wildfire. Clean code? Ha! You’re writing for other programmers’ academic circlejerk, not the hardware.

It’s interesting that everybody else preaches ‘Write for the human first, for the machine second’.

You want real connection to code? You earn that. You dig in. You wrestle with segfaults at 3 in the morning. You pace your apartment muttering about pointer arithmetic. You burn through Handmade Hero until you get it.

Absolutely the best learning happens at 3AM. This guy is selling being overworked to the breaking point as some kind of rite of passage. That’s not working. Or learning. It’s the road to sucking off a 9mm 4 weeks later.

Well, I’ve done that… partially. However, since I’m not a top-1‰ superstar rock-dev, my solutions took several attempts, still make a lot of assumptions, and are generally kinda bad.

Until I’ve reached an actually good boilerplate automator, Copilot has its place.
