I don't know if it's so universal. My opinion is rather that most jobs will make your passion become dull. I knew some airline pilots who loved flying, but didn't feel so much like it after decades. I got into aerospace engin

You would probably have sold early for a relatively small amount too. I bought 10ish BTC at some point for almost nothing, sold them for a low 4-digit amount thinking they were stupid anyway. I still think they were stupid but it turns out

Honestly Whatsapp is nothing special. It works well, just like many other chat apps nowadays. The interest is that in some large parts of the world, everyone uses it already.

I routinely have websites force me to put my street number after the street name, when here it's written before.

I just went through all accounts in my password manager, logged in and changed my email. It takes a little while but not that much.

> I don't care about the history. I've actually been using the Gemini app more because it auto-deletes old history. I like using LLMs without thinking this is going to stick around forever. Models are relatively interchangeable

I commute by bicycle so I choose my remote working times to avoid rain. So yes weather affects my day-to-day.

When somebody generates an app but doesn’t share it, does it make a noise?

> these people clearly aren't reading anything they're posting I'm surprised they are able to care so little. Somebody actually published this and didn't care enough to even skim through it.

Right, at the same time the median salary for a full time job in the US is $5280/month, that €4450. In France it's €2183, half as much.

Exactly why I moved away from Linux on the desktop. I used for 10 years, dropped it after I got kids. I don't have the time and mental availability anymore to accept a low probablity of having to do PC maintenance any time I use it.

This is a bad idea. We used a software that did this for a while, and everybody scheduled meetings 30 minutes longer than necessary and specified the real time in the description, just to avoid cutting people off mid sentence.

Some sites can be very simple and yet quite useful. For example https://rawdiary.com/ always impresses me with its speed.

One of them has that “scrambled visual keyboard” for an 8-digit password, and at the same time proposes a passkey as an alternative on desktop. Go figure.

Also datalist is nice but most the time we need a “select” (so users can’t submit anything not in the list), but select doesn’t have search/filtering like datalist has.

In my experience it’s been the case for years. I’ve been paying for Kagi instead to solve this.

For what it’s worth, I think there’s space for such an app for Duckdb databases. It’s growing in popularity and not very widely supported yet.

Right, they probably have an employee on site 24/7 for every piece of track they use. It’s a mystery why they didn’t think of calling them.

Everyone already has a Github account. Just having to make an account on Codeberg/Sourcehut is enough of a barrier.

I guess it depends on each other’s bubble. In France my perception is that most messaging is on Whatsapp. Not that I’m happy about that…

Beyond the fast entry (no parentheses), I like RPN because I find it a more intuitive way of working with numbers. I do not need to think about my operation before I start inputting numbers. I can type in the numbers I'll need, and whi
