No, but I get 20 different ads that are covering 70% of a screen and they're not blocked. Instant close.

Sqlite is fine, could we call this product somehow differently? I don't feel it's database, it's database frontend or smth.

I'm trying to understand what am I looking at. MS Access like db+ui in browser, with homemade engine and no sql support? What are guarantees here, concurenncy, isolation, single user? Not much on the main page.

Unfortunately I moved out of Germany but I loved this system. In Dresden-Neustadt [quite funky party areal], it was quite common to leave beer bottles or alcopop cans neatly outside of the trash bins. So people who make money from collectin

So far I created a small Tampermonkey script [0] to generate me [realistic] off-/on-water rowing workouts based on a prompt. I use it almost daily. [0]: https://gist.github.com/alfanick/3ecac79f9590bae6819e410c338.

Do you actually own a printer? Since 10+ years I print stuff either at work or in hotel. If it's pictures, I print them in some printing company with some nice ICC profile I got from them. Owning a printer in XXI century is waste of ti

Then you tech employee are not big enough. Of course they can do this. Goes to HR, Hiring Manager, HM approves sends back to HR, HR sends to legal, HM pings because legal is slow, bam it's done. Everything can be done between humans.

That’s how I learned to type on a computer keyboard when I was 4yo, some 26 years ago - just rewrite some printed books on a text editor. Highly recommended.

It's some JS lib abstracting over some authentication providers. But this doesn't sound sexy anymore.

My experience is similar - Poznan, Poland - building your own CPU architecture is part of curriculum, most students hate it (and struggle to pass or don’t pass because of it). For people who like it and get it, it’s a perfect experience.

This looks like a student assignment project from some CS class. A lot of promises, but looks like some TCP reinvented over UDP using some C API with some decentralization marketing. > TCP/IP design is fundamentally broken, and a di

What is GAB? I have really no clue, I would need to google to find definition of this acronym. (European-based)

So does a lot of companies selling on Aliexpress/Alibaba, but this doesn't help with my infrastructure problem - I would still need to buy and copy manually MP3 files onto the player.

Thank you for reminding me iPod Shuffle! Gosh, this was a crazy good thing. Now everything is in an (i)Phone... Shuffle was honestly the first mass-market wearable device that worked. I love not taking my phone on a longer runs/hikes,

And when you buy a good lock and good door and good frame, don’t forget to put them in a building made of concrete or bricks…

I always think of Dyson as electric-engine designer company who also makes products out of these engines (i.e. vacuum cleaners or filters). It's a lot of physics, mechanical engineering, electronic, electric engineering, simulations -

The title is misleading, it promises recording data from *any* game, yet it requires some UDP telemetry to be implemented in the game itself and uses F1 as the game. I was expecting something with a) strace to track IO or b) gdb to monitor

Yup, seems to treat Earth as flat, not really useful in my area (living in the valley, surrounded by high mountains from east and west - sunrise time does not mean you're going to see sun, if it's still hiding behind a mountain).

Anecdotal data [on sample of one, me]: while I don't think I can warm myself with my mind, I clearly can ignore cold. I feel it's cold, but it's not uncomfortable or painful for me. I'm doing this daily since hmm 10 or m

My personal opinion: it will change in the same way as it changed when Russia invaded Crimean Peninsula - almost no one remembers, no one cares, it changed nothing outside of Russia/Ukraine. The world forgot.

I immediately knew what's the article about, just by looking at the header. Anecdote time: my father used to be one of top-5 world's manufacturers of Denationium Benzoate, before he decided to retire. I grew up with this substance

Symmetric connections for everyone, everywhere by default (assymetric only when it's not feasible, i.e. mobile devices). This I always thought would open door for more peer-to-peer or onion or some superdecentralized architectures.
