Open-plan offices are the damn worst for this. Last place I was at had everyone complaining that it was too cold, but everyone in the front of the office (5 of the 17 people in the office, me being one of them) would absolutely bake in the

I always assumed it was the assumption that the user would be "remembered" by their auth token and that the user would be returning from an already auth'd device. When your UI team is testing user flows, if they're not s

I sent the article to my spouse some time back and she's mad at me for ruining butterflies for her. She made the exact same Sixth Sense reference too! We've now made it a challenge to spot "live" butterfly depictions eve

I took it more as a comment on the sheer ineptitude and uselessness of TSA as anything beyond security theater. I have no qualms about the change and think it's about damn time they made even this tiny modicum of effort to support non-

I'd argue that you don't hear about failures as most people aren't experiencing them. Out of at least a dozen people I know using them, every single person has multiple RPis that has been in pretty regular use. On top of that

I've had a lot of luck using the Samsung Evo Select micro sd cards, and use them almost exclusively with my RPis. I've recently been trying PNY Elite-X as well with good results, though I think I've only got one Pi running th

I've got multiple RasPis from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen that all have lasted years. I know of a Rpi 2b still running in a shed in the New Mexico desert that holds at about 90*F that's still going after 5 years. I had a 3B running as a

You thought solving for X was hard... wait till you're solving for 你好! I doubt there's much behind the joke beyond the stereotype of "Asians being good at math", tbh. My Algebra teacher in school once solved a system of

Totally agreed. That's why I pointed out the difference. I've used many frameworks, and each brings it's own flavor and benefits to the table. I wasn't disparaging Django, just commenting on my issue with it. I still use

This seems like the kind of task that might be possible with a solar or renewable fuel. Given the target speed of 1.5knots, I wonder if a large enough solar installation on a pair of modified tugs could achieve a decent runtime. Or perhaps

That's my main issue with Django, and why I prefer a "bring your own modules" framework like Flask. Django is very "batteries included", but if you're not using the full Django paradigm, it gets more finicky. T

That's par for the course with JetBrains. I'm a big fan of PyCharm, don't get me wrong. It was the first IDE I've tried out of maybe a dozen that actually gave me a reason to convert from Vim with plugins and a number of

Are you talking about an API reference? Django has that: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/ They have an entire set of tutorial/getting started type docs that are definitely very wordy and based

Maybe, maybe not. The author has graduated from High School, meaning they're about to enter college or the workforce. I wouldn't be surprised to see this level of detail from someone at that level academically. Delighted, yes. Wou

Glad to see a cooperative and supportive academic administration, and I'm sure the thoroughness and planning that the team demonstrated made it easier on the administration. The sheer amount of testing and verifying no major impact to

I think the issue is not with supply of the chip, but Apple restricting API access to the chip on IOS devices. They're basically gatekeeping hw features, and preventing anyone else from providing the same level of features on IOS by so

Totally agree with you there. I really think they should start shipping with a second set of "inside" legs for those who want to use a tenting leg instead of using the thumb cluster. I'll probably get to a smaller key count e

With a programable mechanical kb you should be able to match the Mac layout. There are a few split versions that should have sufficient keys, especially if you're not using a ten-key frequently.

Try a short-travel or low profile mech switch. I believe both Cherry and Kailh have a Speed series with a short activation distance. The Kailh Choc line of low-profile switches has something like a 1-2mm travel which might work too.

One benefit with mechanical keys though is that there's a massive variety of types, so you can easily find something that works for you. You can get short-travel (i.e. Kailh speed series), soft bottom-outs via something like the Boba s

Yeah, I can't imagine the Moonlander being a great fit for someone with normal/small hands. I got a Moonlander and happen to love it. Though, I really wish they hadn't decided to make the thumb cluster a tenting leg. I think

The pandemic was definitely extended in the US due to politics. Every attempt at curtailing the spread was rolled back or defeated specifically due to politics at the highest levels of the US Gov't, from not implementing travel bans as

I think New Zealand is rather famous for it's COVID response and recovery. Denmark and Finland also had great responses. That said, I'm in the US and not well equipped to speak to their responses, having not experienced them first

I think the black swan event is less of the pandemic itself and more of how it played out. If actions were taken and the pandemic was halted early, there would be less impact. At least speaking of the US. The pandemic has gone on for far lo

I mean, I have Paramount, Hulu, and HBO subscriptions, but I'm far more likely to fly the black flag and watch it from my Plex server instead of their apps due to how painful those apps are to use. If I was a little less honest, it wou

Maybe for certain subsets of the user group. I don't like the dongle-hell that is the Apple laptop line. I'll take my Lenovo or Dell laptop that has RJ45, multiple usb ports, and more. I also prefer a physical laptop dock (not USB
