Look into the low-power mode of whatever microcontroller you're using... I did an AT-Tiny85 project, and it burned through the battery. I then switched to low power for a while, and it draws micro-amps (!) when in low-power mode,

Well put. I got very good at typing: find . -type f -exec egrep -il "whatever" {} \; and now I instead type: rg whatever and, somehow, I feel like that's an improvement. And it automatically ignores the dir

I remember hearing about Merb, and how some people really liked it, sighed a deep sigh, NOT looking forward to years of acrimony and battling-by-benchmark. So I was so glad when I heard the announcement, particularly as they treated it as &

That's both amazing and beautiful. Well done!

Well, we did have an intranet (and yeah, the search was abysmal , so it was tough to navigate), and giving it a second's thought, maybe email each person a magic number, that they then enter into a single magic-number box on the intra

My last company would do this, and yeah, I think I got bit at least once. THEN, without any clue about the irony, they'd send us "important" emails with something to click in them... employee surveys, links to benefits inform

Clever, don't think I'd have thought of that.

Cool! I would not have thought of that!

I remember in early(ish) Linux, the terminal programs had a setting to be at least partly transparent, so your desktop background (and other windows? I forget) could show through. Wound up constraining what desktops you could choose, and ho

That's one of the unmentioned beauties of being a programmer... you can swear all you want, and people just think your code won't compile :-)

I'll pile on -- thank you, JetBrains, for great tools that have helped my productivity immensely! I use RubyMine and GoLand constantly.

It's actually gotten worse for me with the kindle books... we often get e-credits from Amazon for asking for a day or two latter shipping arrival, and these pile up, and they expire, so... Hey, got $8 off on an ebook, I have one I want

That matches my experience -- I could play Beat Saber with no problems at all. The sad thing is that it's like saying, "You can play any game on this system, as long as the game's name starts with the letters A-D. You can&#x

Yup, I was fine with games like Beat Saber, and (initially!) Vader Immortal, that uses the teleport movement system... until you're put on a moving platform, or (worst) have to climb up and down... and OH YEAH that triggered it. Bad. &

I wonder how many people, like me, tried it on a friend's equipment and found that the motion sickness is just impossible to get past. I had motion sickness when I tried the early first-person shooters, but got over it when I learned t

Interesting -- what do you prefer about the Firefox dev tools? I know the chrome ones pretty well (which is nice, since Brave is chromium-based).

by chris_st 6y ago
Wow, interesting use-case! Wouldn't have thought of that.

This is definitely my experience, particularly in using Hasura (particularly via the wonderful NHost[0], a fantastic database service). I believe that Hasura knows how to not do N+1 queries. [0] https://nhost.io

That's cool! Clever idea, really like a bunch of early computer games I played.

I like Sakura[1] for this use case -- it's opinionated, but I like its opinions! Doesn't appear to recognize dark mode, though. [1] https://oxal.org/projects/sakura/
