I was able to use a 5120x1440 resolution on my MacBook Pro using SwitchResX. No idea why Mac OS doesn’t let you select that resolution.

The ideas in the book were good, but I found the characters and the style of writing to be _awful_. It was _tiring_ to read. I think atombender explains it better. The whole style of the book was different (and in a bad way for me). The wa

This is an article from 2014: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2014/jul/19/telephone-frau... . It’s possible it’s been solved by now.

It’s tough to use TFL anonymously. You only need to pay once by card for them to link it to you. You cannot get refunds (e.g. train delay) without registering the card.

I strongly recommend iwd over wpa_supplicant. It is simple, intuitive, and just works. I have been using it on my laptop for over a year with no issues.

I’ve worked in a variety of Django codebases, and the last time I had trouble with string encoding/decoding was with Python 2. Since moving to Python 3, I have rarely needed to manually encode or decode, and I genuinely can't reme

Actually I reckon it would be an easy technical change - it’s almost a find and replace (I think)! Emotionally, I don’t think people, in general, would handle it well though. The Python 2 to 3 was mostly because it was not possible to autom
