Or what about the polite Dutch for thank you: 'Dank u', which in French is heard as 'Dans cul', which is something completely different.

I still have to find a programming language that allows me to convey all the nuances of my thoughts and considerations only through code (and keep it readable and concise). This is why there there are few (no?) languages that don't all

Disk have power modes and can be spun down to save energy. A Raspberry Pi can run the OS on an SD card and mount the disk for backup storage. Leaving it in low power for a long period of time.

I agree, but you could argue that the Raspberry Pi is not performant enough during restores or browsing the backups. During the backup itself performance should not have to be that big of an issue as it's mostly a background operation

I think that boils down to CAP theorem and whether or not you want to shift the problems onto the user. With collaborative tools like chat or shared document editing. It's far easier for the system to deal with and for the user to con

I'd also recommend watching The Terror (season 1) and play Return of the Obra Dinn. Though both contain fantasy elements, there's lots of nautical lore to be found.

However, 30 seconds and 30 minutes are at far ends of a spectrum with a sweet spot in between. Of course there is a market for 30 minutes of content and not everything should be optimised to fit as much content in every second of video. But

If you ever get the chance, solder under a (say 40x) stereo microscope. The soldering station at my internship was this kind of setup and it literally gave me a whole new perspective on soldering. I got to see exactly how the flux and sold

Or they could have been stuck driving in circles. A good nights sleep often offers a fresh perspective to tackle a problem from a different direction.

And the second a single one of those apps sends me a promotional offer via a push notification I disable notifications wholesale, negating the entire benefit of this 'feature'. I don't want to have to run and maintain a spam

It's available as "Passwords" in the system settings. I think they added it recently to align it with iOS and iPadOS, where there is no mention of it being Keychain at all.

They actually removed support for Keychain, Chrome on macOS used to support it in the past.

When teaching Git I often use a whiteboard with a permanent marker and Post-its for branches. It really brings home the point of the commits themselves being rigid and branches flexible.

I was bummed out by that too initially.But it's kind of inevitable with root not writable on the latest macOS releases and needing the store to be under /nix.

If you're penny pinching also have a look at your network equipment. As a test I set all switch ports on my 24 port HP from 1Gbps to 100Mbps and the power usage dropped by 10W. About half the ports on the switch are occupied. But then

Thx for this hint. I just tried this but it shows that suggestion at the cursor. Not above the keyboard. So it’s not as fast or useful :(

The one thing that still annoys me about the iPhone keyboard that I think Android does better is correcting mistakes. Apple expects you to correct your mistake before you finish a word by selecting the right suggestion. On Android typing ba
