Working on adding a taxonomy of ingredients to https://www.foodbatch.com/ And a LLM-based text-to-structured recipe tool.


Or stop taxing the poor? I.e. stop deflating the currency.


A lot of people don't realise that monetary inflation is a tax on everybody and affect the poorest the most.


219 page deck on the state of video gaming.


Hm, I got:

"...

European sanctions

The Council of Europe has decided that the websites of RT (formerly Russia Today) and Sputnik News may no longer be transmitted. The website you are trying to visit falls under this European sanction.

..."


I think the website is censored at DNS level but they chose the wrong error page.

In Italy it just errors out with a NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.


You're just cleared up a minor mystery I never bothered to investigate (BT, UK). Thanks.

Flipping DNS to 8.8.4.4 fixed it for now but I really need to move this connection to A&A.


Works fine here from a European IP.


It's blocked at least in the Netherlands. Weirdly it mentions it being part of the sanctions against Russia, while from a cursory search I only found a judge ordering the site to be blocked because of copyright issues (thanks Brein). They probably just show the wrong error page?


Must be ISP specific, I'm also in NL and can access it fine.


I'm on Ziggo


It's blocked by my corporate networking filter for me, in the category "Illegal downloads". So the Russian sanctions message is probably incorrect indeed.


I'm also in NL. Ziggo's DNS server blocks it:

  $ dig annas-archive.org @89.101.251.228
  annas-archive.org. 360 IN CNAME unavailable.for.legal.reasons.
  unavailable.for.legal.reasons. 339 IN A 213.46.185.10
213.46.185.10 serves a generic page mentioning Russia Today and the Pirate Bay. Not sure which one applies here.


> CNAME unavailable.for.legal.reasons.

Not really standards compliant, but an interesting use of DNS.


Same for KPN:

http://195.121.82.125/

Would Tweak have blocked this? Most households in the Netherlands currently have the choice of Ziggo, KPN, and Odido. Long live VPNs…


Is that three broadband providers serving the same address?? You guys are so lucky you don’t even know. In America we generally have a choice of one if you aren’t including Starlink or legacy slow satellite. And perhaps a joke of a 1-6Mbps DSL option in some parts.


Oh wow, don't look at Italy so! At my current address I have coverage from at least 7 different providers (even though they're all based on only 3 different infrastructures/lines).


Three usable lines to your home??? I hope you're happy, you've made at least one American cry today.


Yes. One of those three lines is based on the old copper phone lines; the other two are optical fiber (FTTH).

I currently have a 1 Gbps down / 300 Mbps up unlimited connection, and I pay only 16 euros (~16 USD) per month.

I wonder why the US is so bad on home internet connections, but maybe it's because of the scale of your country?


Switch DNS to like 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google)


Trying it out.

Initial front end mock up worked great! However when I tried connecting to supabase it broke down. Maybe I'm missing something but "it" wants me to add environemnt varables to the .env file. I connected it to a git repo, but I don't want to add commit that there.

How do I access the files from the editor?! xD


Yeah you shouldn't have to add stuff to the .env file. If you setup Supabase any secrets should be added to the edge functions as env vars. Here's an example where it prompted me to add the RESEND_API_KEY to the Supabase Edge function secret: https://lovable.dev/projects/e66eacea-f46f-473c-aa6b-6a90da4...


Whoever thought touch on a stove is a good idea needs to destroy their internal design framework.


Touch on a stove makes any stove I know gastritic. A drip of water and it turns on power mode by itself and melts lids. A bit of oil and it randomly turns on itself. A piece of wet cloth and it does the same. Sometimes even nothing at all triggers it.


>If anything, the dutch have a cycling problem.

I disagree, I don't see how less cycling or more cars would be better?

> ...ALSO have the highest road density in Europe for cars

It is the densest non-micro state in the world, would that not explain the road density?

You cannot protect a cyclist in a car collision using a helmet, the solution is separate infra?

Other than that you have positive outcomes of increased general health.


off course you can. And it's been proven over and over. Are you really trying to argue that wearing a helmet is not safer than not wearing one?

Not all car and cyclist collisions are high speed, big impacts, in fact, statistically speaking, most of them in the netherlands are slow speed knocks, cyclist, get bumped, when a car tries to squeeze by, and the cyclist falls and hits their head on the concrete or whatever else is close by.

And then there are all the cyclist against cyclist collisions, someone gets knocked off, and smacks their head against the curb.

But I guess the dutch way of saying "we are dutch and are born on a bicycle and know how to cycle", (and they really actually don't), is easier to say than, looking at the actual stats, and seeing they are wrong.


What stats are you referring to? The Netherlands has one of the lowest per-km cyclist fatality rates in the world, at least with 2009 numbers[1]. Would be interested to see if that has changed.

[1]: https://blogs-images.forbes.com/niallmccarthy/files/2015/02/...

They also have decently good numbers for traffic fatalities in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r...


(Some extra nuance: it is of course true that, ceteris paribus, wearing helmets is strictly safer. It's just that the Dutch stats show that proper infrastructure is even more important, and cyclists are less of a danger to other traffic participants than people in cars, which is why there's no stronger push for making people wear helmets — it might cause them to stop cycling. At an individual level, for sure, wear helmets, but as a society, there are better things to focus on when it comes to traffic safety.)

I don't actually know how strong the evidence is for that.


Thanks for sharing the article. I liked it. Unfortunately, it does not provide any solution to "bloating". I guess that the root of the issue is that Google optimizes for the time that ads get displayed, and quantity over quality sites will display more ads per actual information provided.


foodbatch.com A recipe site where the data format of the recipe is strict. For now I’m just keeping some of my own favorite recipes there. Anyone can upload a recipe. I have multiple features in the backlog…


I got all the rabbits and the dog to one node and then I could not move anywhere.
