kind of feels unnecessary honestly... Automating webroot is trivial and I would rather use an external rust utility to handle it than a module for nginx. I guess if you _only_ need certs for your website then this helps but I have certs for

I wish all non-UK entities which may be affected by this law just dropped the UK. But unfortunately it seems they have too much money invested in not doing that. But I'm sure even if that happened, the public consensus would just be &q

What I need TODO for is just to come up with a plan for the day. I don't really look at it after that. I don't look at it after today except maybe tomorrow. So yeah, a text file works.

Microsoft continues to produce absolute garbage (except now it's also adware) and continues to utilise aggressive tactics to gain market share. They deserve plenty of hate.

So maybe it should be called: "Remote Controlled Obsolescence" now?

The thing about debouncing is that debouncing interrupts from input pins connected directly to e.g. switches is universally a bad idea. Interrupt pins are weird, level change too slowly? You might never see the interrupt trigger or you&#x27

Tangential: There might be a perfectly good explanation for why something was designed the way it was, but that doesn't mean that it should stay like that in retrospect. On a daily basis I encounter code written by people who have skil

You shouldn't use it to learn C either. It's full of bad C.

I like that it's small and potentially even more functional than whatever idiotic American small-dick-compensating nonsense people buy these days but why does it need to be so ugly? If you want more people to buy sensible vehicles, mak

It's funny to talk about non-essential CSS and then to use a grey background. I don't think any CSS should be essential, but I think tasteful changes to make your website look unique for those who have it enabled is totally approp

Next you'll tell me the URL can contain information which can be used to auto-scroll you to a specific heading.

It would be relatively difficult to add a physical GPS tracker to a modern phone. Also, it's unnecessary, the government just needs to take a note of the IMSI and/or IMEI and then use the cell tower records to track you (rather ac

The bad guys e.g. the police detaining you during a protest and temporarily seizing your property, or the border police "scanning" your phone.

It's absolutely abysmal that the EU and UK are implementing laws relating to age verification requirements. Who voted for this? Who asked for this?

I don't think using TypedDict to create a type hint is against the spirit of the post. Although reading a lot of what has been written here, it seems people aren't really getting the spirit of the post in the first place.

The typing argument no longer holds. There are typed dicts where you specify field names and the respective key types. But in most cases you're still best off with just a dataclass. Bare classes shouldn't be the first thing you re

It seems like it would be much less complicated to write this/enforce this if they just made you pay a subscription fee for access binaries and the issue tracker. Instead, they've generated an enforcement nightmare by solely relyi

The local police forces can start offering a service where they will cause a controlled leak of the refrigerant in your fridge to reduce its efficiency therefore making it less useful for refrigerating body parts. https://kentand

People are saying: "Oxygen is blue and that's why the sky is blue." Someone is replying: "The sky isn't blue because of the oxygen." You are then saying: "Well what if the people who are saying that the sk

Yeah, the Apache/BSD licensed code will always come out on top, when some big company eats it, and effectively dictates its development with no other fork gaining any traction and with the project effectively becoming enterprise-ified.

Just to try to understand your point. Are you saying that there is no bad or irresponsible way to teach something? If I teach you to weld and don't explain welding gloves, long sleeves, or welding helmets, is that still okay or is it c

I can't comment on how good these things are for learning electronics but I find a lot of people who learn embedded development or programming from Arduino end up learning an endless number of bad practices. I think C++ is a terrible p

Not sure if it's worth selling your soul to Microsoft. I will stick to other languages when I need a better type system.

In cases like these it's sufficient to substitute "capitalism" for "crony capitalism". However, the people making these statements are unlikely to ever agree that there can exist a non-crony-capitalism.

It's absolutely hilarious reading all these "you're holding it wrong" arguments because every time I find one it contradicts the previous ones.

Skip the perfboard with nails and you would have had an actual breadboard... What a weird prototyping approach... Nails in a perfboard... Never seen it before.
