x86 hardware interfaces are traditionally pretty well documented and standardized, going back to the original IBM PC in the 1970s(?), enabling among other things an aftermarket of plug-in expansion cards and other peripherals. That standardization also makes it possible to write device drivers and keep them working.

ARM stuff on the other hand is closed and changes all the time. So this year's peripheral won't work with last year's phone. Mac stuff is also like that, maybe not quite as much most of the time.

Those bags are made for microwave popping and you pay a big premium for that, besides getting crappy popcorn. For stovetop popping, just buy loose kernels. Zillions of recipes online.

Don't buy any perishables unless you're going to use them immediately, i.e. the same day that you buy them. If you buy them, take them home and eat them. Keep lots of non-perishables on hand so you'll be able to cook something without going to the store when you want to do that.

I think in practice you start with something arbitrary and hope that training or updates converge to something reasonable. There is a school of thought that says start with uninformative priors, those that give the least information. There is a famous book by E. T. Jaynes arguing for this. Lots of people swear by it. I tried to read it once and it didn't make much sense, but maybe I should try again sometime.

Hmm it looks like ML uses the term "hyperparameter" differently from how it is used in statistics. TIL.

Maybe nextcloud? IDK I just use Borg. But Nextcloud allows that type of syncing that you describe, I think. I run a small nextcloud server for other purposes and don't use that feature.

My mom dislikes instant pot rice and likes zojirushi rice. IDK what the difference is but she can tell. Shrug.

The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry's website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.”

He went to persuade the militants and they persuaded him instead? "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."

For Windows users it might be simplest to start with Debian MATE. There is an install image on debian.org. No idea about Mint.
