I work with rather 'basic' CRUD applications with CMS and user management portals + some integrations to CRM systems etc. There is a lot of legacy stuff and rather bad practices or no general style guidelines followed.

AI helps here and there but honestly the bottleneck for output is not how fast the code is produced. Task priorization, lacking requirements, information silos and similar issues cause a lot of 'non-coding work' for developers (and probably just waiting around for some who don't want to take initiative). Also I think the most time consuming coding task is usually debugging and AI tools don't really excel at that in my experience.

That being said, we are not hiring at the moment but that really doesn't have anything to do with AI.

Cool! 10 guesses got me there. Thought it was gonna be impossible.

Took me 13 guesses but it is a great game for a few reasons:

- It can work for multiple age ranges by varying word lengths - It has good replay-ability - It can be adapted for offline play - It can be adapted for learners of new languages as well

In my mind math learning builds on top of the stuff you have learned earlier on different level than other subjects. If you get ”derailed” at some spot in learning it becomes tough / impossible to learn the concepts that build on top of the stuff that you didn’t understand properly.

In Finland it’s pretty common to go mushroom hunting. Between 1969-2006 eight people died because of mushroom poisoning. Three of them died 20-30 years after the initial poisoning due to kidney transplant issues. So at least here it’s not very common to get killed by mushrooms even though many people enjoy foraging.

And to add: in spring time many Finns pick a deadly poisonous mushroom (Gyromitra esculenta) and boil it 2x5min to remove the poison and cook it as a delicassy after that. Never heard anyone get poisoned by it.

I'll remember to skip the "mushroom delicacy" when I visit Finland :]

The internet recommends boiling outside to avoid poisonous vapors.

It must taste incredible.

Funny fact is that in Russia it is not considered poisonous. There is a special category of “provisionally edible” or “conditionally edible” mushrooms - those that are poisonous if eaten without preparation

So how did you get rid of the wax? I was inoculating logs a year ago and the jars are still waiting for clean up.

Fill the pot with water and heat it above the melting pont. Cool it down and the wax will form a skin so you're left with just a ring to scrape off.

Haven't tried this specific instance but kerosene (which is the major component of WD40) is a great solvent for waxes.

> which is the major component of WD40

TIL, thanks!

The traditional method of getting wax out of clothes is a hot iron and brown paper. I daresay the same principle - melt the wax and soak it up - could be applied to other surfaces.

Answer from Snapchat My AI: Mix baking soda and water into a paste, then use it to scrub the wax off.

Oh great, now I wonder what the mushrooms would suggest for getting rid of Google

Whatever they suggest, good luck making sense of it the next day

Am I mistaken in thinking that "The last of us" covered this?

If nothing else it would certainly be a trip.

Only if they were psilocybin mushrooms.

As a human, I would like to note that this technique, as much as it will eventually works, is not the most effective.

See the boiling water brother comment.

Personally I'd try Bar Keepers Friend

Ironically, here in Australia that brand has really destroyed its image.

They're now stocked in most of the big chain supermarkets, but it's a "reformulated" version of Bar Keepers Friend using Citric acid instead.

It's completely and utterly useless at cleaning the things the old Oxalic acid version worked on. :(

With careful perusal and emailing via Ebay though, the original formula stuff can be found.

This is the seller I get it from: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231989692018.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way.

Always been a bit suspicious of that since it contains oxalic acid, which is toxic. I assume it's water soluble enough to get rid of easily before you use the surfaces for food though.

> oxalic acid

The benefit of using oxalic acid for cleaning, apparently, was discovered as part of the process of cooking rhubarb:

Definitely rinse thoroughly, with the exception of vinegar there's not a lot of cleaning products you want to be eating
