Are you sure that's an induction element? Induction elements don't get hot, only the pan does. Easy way to tell is - does the element switch only turn on when a pan is on top of it?


One minor clarification because it is important: the elements do get hot, but that isn't the mechanism which they use to transfer heat. The element gets hot because it is touching a super hot pan which will transfer some of its heat.

If you want to know how I found this out: I wasn't using my brain and touched the element after spilling something on it. I received a fairly bad burn as a result. I am saying this because saying "the element doesn't get hot" can put the wrong idea in someone's head.


Clumsy wording. I mean the pan gets hot in two concentric rings.


Great to hear, thanks for letting me know :).

I'm the author of this tutorial, crazy to see it linked here 20yrs after I wrote it. It was an assignment for 400-level COSC at Otago, everyone in the class had to write a tutorial on something and then present it. The department just happened to post them on their website.

Crazily, this tutorial must have filled a niche because I still get people contacting me about it, and it has 3000 references on Google Scholar. I'm glad it's helped so many people, I'm no expert in PCA or Maths in general, I learned what I needed to write the tutorial and the example code and I think the writing style must have been pretty good as lots of people seem to have been able to follow it.


It means 'which isn't acceptable'. I am also confused as to why they used this turn of phrase, perhaps to sound more colloquial. It sounds weird to me too, and comical, coming from a govt department, but perhaps it is indicating that the privacy commission finds that to be something the population would not approve of, but which it has no actual enforcement mechanism.


ANZ governments are a little less officious than other countries (the lack of taking ourselves seriously is a defining trait). The article also mentions a "she'll be right attitude".


Scammers also do this for searches like 'aircanada' (no spaces), including sometimes impersonating the official website while telling you to call a support number as the website is down.


Why stop at one file, is it possible to locally mount a remote folder over ssh?


here is function I use

    sshmount () {
     SSHFS_SERVER_DIR='/home/user' 
     if [ "z$1" = "z" ]
     then
      echo "specify server [server_dir]"
      return
     fi
     SSHFS_SERVER=$1 
     if [ "z$2" != "z" ]
     then
      SSHFS_SERVER_DIR=$2 
     fi
     SSHFS_TARGET_DIR="/home/user/mnt/$SSHFS_SERVER" 
     echo "Mounting $SSHFS_SERVER:$SSHFS_SERVER_DIR into $SSHFS_TARGET_DIR"
     mkdir -p $SSHFS_TARGET_DIR
     sshfs -o idmap=user -o allow_other -o kernel_cache $SSHFS_SERVER:$SSHFS_SERVER_DIR $SSHFS_TARGET_DIR && cd $SSHFS_TARGET_DIR
    }
    
    sshmount servername
will mount server's home in directory /home/user/mnt/servername, second parameter changes the server dir to specified one


Yep, it's called sshfs, very easy to use.


How are gcp and aws different in terms of auth required by rclone?


Me too, after using Android auto on one car it's a must-have on any new car for me. Better nav system, Google assistant, Spotify, podcasts, messages. Turns my car into a drive able phone.


Also error conditions - telling a fake to give you a specific error before you run the test is no different from telling a mock to do it.


It is different. You tell the mock to give you an specific error with specific information, while you tell the fake to give you the error for an specific condition.

It is subtle and may not be worth the time, but again, it may be.
