Yerba mate is good, but even if you're not into it, consider getting a bombilla (that filtering metal straw). They are exceptionally convenient for drinking all kinds of herb-based beverage: tea, roiboos, whatever.

What’s the justification for such laws requiring permission for technical upgrades? Looks purely anti-competitive from my non-US view.

I’d like to stop paying for Dropbox too as I already have iCloud and onedrive, but so far I’ve had random problems with all of them (slow sync, not working download when sharing, like this), while Dropbox works consistently. It seems I’ll c

Unfortunately no, had no use case for it in an industry dominated by Python and C++. Wouldn't be surprised if Lazarus is very fast and pleasant to use, and I think the problem with more popular IDEs lies in underlying technology: C++ i

The list is here: https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/webcam/en/download/ It weirdly includes a5100 and not a6000, which are internally almost identical. Also at least for older cameras it’s 720p on

If you need full hd streaming, get a cheap hdmi-to-usb adapter and you could use even older cameras (sony started supporting webcam only around a6300), with simultaneous recording and streaming.

Simply charge a fixed sum for a time-limited license to perch within a specific region. Should also include some insurance.

Used it for general blackbox optimization some 3 years ago, switched to it from comparatively ancient NOMAD [1]. Worked well and easy enough to suggest it as a default choice for similar problems at the time. [1] https://www.gera

Then submodules enter the picture. I’m comfortable with reflog, but haven’t fully grokked submodules yet, easier to reclone.

Only if you are really lucky with the lab. The overall academic culture is toxic, especially to people without academic credentials.

There were many attempts at that, JetBrains MPS (metaprogramming studio) comes to mind, but all them feel clunky and constrained. Many proprietary programming systems do follow this model, like Mathematica and visual IDEs like PLC programme

As a former traditional machine vision researcher, currently robotics-adjacent software engineer, I agree, but: they've been brandishing that shotgun for a pretty long time before it became standard issue, for varying reasons. To conti

Mostly agree. Was hoping for a smart formatter that leaves short single-level objects in one line.

Did Arduino recently regain their relevance for serious work? I haven't followed this topic for a few years, my previous impression was that Arduino products were only for simpler educational purposes, and you would buy a cheaper clone

As it's much easier to start learning a language that uses a familiar alphabet, simply not being able to easily represent basic characters in your head is a huge barrier to overcome.

One problem I’ve had with this is language switching, in the past Ctrl+Shift was popular and you can press it with one finger if Ctrl is to the left. Nowadays due to operating system behavior inconsistency the only reasonable option seems t

There are some suspicious entries, at least regarding cyanoacrylate. “Plastic” is too generic, CA won’t glue polyethylene at all. And I’m surprised by CA recommendation for rubber to rubber, guess I should try, always thought contact glue w

I have an Instinct 2X Tactical with solar charging, and from what I see with normal usage it prolongs battery life 1.5-2x in sunny weather. Probably if you optimize the power consumption it could fully offset the discharge, as advertised. V

Why would you even use twisting as connection method for professional work (i.e. not when you just don’t have any proper tools around)? Various quick connectors like Wago exist for temporary connections, and for permanent ones handheld hydr

Given threads are here to stay, thread-unsafe print is a really bad idea. Couldn’t even imagine it can crash instead of interleave, in Python of all things.
