Learning Java in high school, I loved how the very first lesson (focused on Hello World) had you type this out, only for the teacher to say “This will make sense later on but for now just type it in”.

I haven't written Java since college CS, over 20 years ago, and I still remember that one line. It's burned in my memory.

Congratulations! As a non-gamer I have absolutely zero idea what this game is about or how to play it, but you've got a big audience!

Honestly thought from the title that this was some kind of food recipe cookbook using LLMs.
telcal commented on Ask HN: Life-changing purchases since 2020? (Under $100 and under $1000)    · Posted by u/systemkwiat

Under $100:

1) A bidet! Got one in the pandemic when toilet paper was scarce and I wanted to be more efficient, but now I'll never go back. The Tushy ones are good.

2) A safety razor & accessories. I get a cheaper, closer, less irritating shave, and I get to customize every part of it. This can certainly be a rabbithole you spend a lot of money on, but you can get a solid customized starter kit for under $100 that will be totally solid, and from then on you're saving money over cartridges and gel unless you really want to splurge.

I'll second the electric toothbrush suggestion too, its great having my teeth fel clean and smooth.

Yes for a bidet! My wife wanted one, I thought I'd hate it but it really is fantastic. We have a Toto Washlet C5. Heated seat, heated spray, warm air dryer. Had to cancel the Amazon toilet paper auto-delivery.

> This is why you do readings three different times a day for several days.

What good is this if my monitor is not as accurate as the one at a doctor's office? It's not like my doctor would take my monitor's readings over his.

telcal · a year ago
My doctor did. My blood pressure was slightly elevated in his office and I said it happens at every doctor. He said to get a home monitor, test 3 times in the morning, 3 times in the afternoon for a week and bring in the results at the next appt.

Do people use this only in the hot months? It's beginning to get cooler where I live and from now until around April we do the opposite and use a heated mattress pad. For me there's nothing better than getting into a warm bed in a cold room. I immediately turn off the heat after getting in though, otherwise I overheat and sweat.
