One of apps I use informed me that I can enable biometric based confirmations.
If I use Android 11 or newer.
My phone is 3.5 years old. Last update was long time ago. And there will be no new ones. This model does not have "custom rom" scene due to locked bootloader.
Huawei did very good phone. Still no plans to replace it with anything newer. Will stay with Android 10 for next years.
I don't have much work today. I wish the #gay#porn Fediverse was more active... Let's see if we can shake things up. Reply to this post with a #dickpic! (Or send me a DM so I post you #dick anonymously.)
And #boost this so it reaches everyone who's willing to show me their 🍌
A question about what states were most-frequently represented on the HN homepage had me do some quick querying via Hacker News's Algolia search ... which is NOT limited to the front page. Those results were ... surprising (Maine and Iowa outstrip the more probable results of California and, say, New York). Results are further confounded by other factors.
HN provides an interface to historical front-page stories (https://news.ycombinator.com/front), and that can be crawled by providing a list of corresponding date specifications, e.g.:
So I'm crawling that and compiling a local archive. Rate-limiting and other factors mean that's only about halfway complete, and a full pull will take another day or so.
But I'll be able to look at story titles, sites, submitters, time-based patterns (day of week, day of month, month of year, yearly variations), and other patterns. There's also looking at mean points and comments by various dimensions.
Among surprises are that as of January 2015, among the highest consistently-voted sites is The Guardian. I'd thought HN leaned consistently less liberal.
The full archive will probably be < 1 GB (raw HTML), currently 123 MB on disk.
Contents are the 30 top-voted stories for each day since 20 February 2007.
If anyone has suggestions for other questions to ask of this, fire away.
NY is highly overrepresented (NY Times, NY Post, NY City), likewise Washington (Post, Times, DC). Adding in "Silicon Valley" and a few other toponyms boosts California's score markedly. I've also got some city-based analytics.
Even when living directly in the middle of an Old Growth Doug Fir forest (yea!) in #Oregon, this allergy year has been one of the best ever.
Until yesterday, when the Cottonwoods started spewing their cotton balls of seed/pollen. Looks like light snow falling. My ass has been kicked for 48 hours now. Mild runny nose and watery eyes but mainly extreme fatigue. Tried some yard work, legs felt like they were dragging around 20# weights. Grrrrr
