I want all my Dropbox files to be actually present on disk at all times, so this change has only downsides for me. I’ve been with Dropbox for over a decade at this point, mostly out of inertia, but forcibly changing the location of the fold

It's not firefox exclusive but SponsorBlock is an incredible extension if you watch a decent amount of Youtube. It's not just about skipping sponsorships (which it does well of course), but having a bunch of crowdsourced metadata

I was honestly questioning whether there was something wrong with the wiring in my house that was causing this (after having multiple MacBooks with the same issue), because the alternative that a company of Apple’s size had such a basic iss

Pretty bizarre behaviour given how easy it is to get around this. Instead of forking, just git remote set-url origin <new-remote-repo> The new remote can even still be on GitHub. So what’s the point? Anyone relying on this to retroact

This is really cool. I wish the pieces were off the board at the start though. I’d much prefer to build up a solution iteratively than try to fix a broken one.

I don't think it can even be called a grid, as the gaps between points aren't the same length.

I get that it’s only for Macs, but Airdrop has basically solved this for me. I’d never install iTunes.

The fact that it's published as HTML means that you can choose your own font if you so desire. A PDF wouldn't let you do that.

If you know roughly what you want and just don't want to dig through documentation to find the exact correct incantation, it's very good at that. It's kinda crazy how fast my opinion went from "haha neat, the robot can w

Having absolutely no fear going into an OS upgrade is one of the best parts of nix. If anything breaks, you can go back to your old config and be sure it’ll still work. Going back to an OS that doesn’t have this property feels like programm

The nice thing about having a physics sandbox is that you can implement better interfaces on top of it using scripts, while still having the full flexibility to go outside the rules if your group feels like it. It's possible to impleme

You cannot really understand monads just by reading about them. Or I couldn’t, at least. This is a very good article about the problems with monad tutorials: https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/abstractio

This looks super interesting, but as far as I can tell they don’t go into how to inform downstream users to add your recipes to their maven/gradle configuration when you make a breaking change. In my head, the ideal flow would be an an

Which is totally fine on their own machine, but using a webfont to force ligatures on anyone viewing their website is just confusing as a reader.

It's still impossible to search by oldest first though. There are popular channels with well over 10,000 videos - if I want to go back and watch their early videos what am I meant to do? Leave a brick on my mouse and wait for 3 hours f

20ms is not perceptible to me at least, but the video compression is. Particle effects just don’t look nearly as good, and turning rapidly produces noticeable video artefacts.

I’d much rather have the full video file and instead have it be possible to skip at the point of playback. I believe this is possible too: yt-dlp can mark the sponsored sections as a separate chapter in the video file.
