Similar in some parts of Germany. My partner currently lives in the "standard" house setup - multiple apartments in a purpose built building, several buildings grouped together. There's a road about 60 metres away, on street

Oh, right, I'll fix that - thanks for pointing it out.

Have you seen Pyre[0]? Not Rust, OCaml, and pretty fast. Made by a team at Meta and open sourced on GitHub. If you use python-lsp, I wrote an extension[1] to enable integration (though I haven't tested it recently, been programming in

Not the GP, but I've been tinkering with HA on a Pi4 and use a Sonoff one on a long USB cable (per the manufacturer's recommendation to avoid interference from the Pi). It's the EZSP based one, https://www.amazon.c

The fractional resolution fixes - yes please. I run a 1440p and 2160p pair of displays, and on Wayland I cannot turn on fractional scaling for either of them due to the graphical artifacting. X - well, I can turn on fractional scaling, but

Though other things don't work well. Like Plasma's whole toolbar with clock widget etc. It freezes, and you can't interact with the frozen widgets. Only answers are kill and restart, reboot, or switch back to X. It'll

https://www.cricalix.net/ Mostly notes to myself on the tech front. House renovation problems, boat problems (and non-problems), and other errata. These days, never work stuff, though there are some posts from a decade ago.

Curious cat - had you considered using Antlr4 and a Python visitor/listener? (Were you aware of antlr?). Depending what you're trying to do with a regex tokenizer, it might be suitable.

Precisely what happens in the fine video, but it causes other problems in this case.

I recommend checking out his other videos too - the series on the Hydro Thunder machines was good, complete with reverse engineering the disk layouts and raw data storage setup, with the software available on GitHub. He can usually be found

Mention of Chandler triggered a memory of a book. "Dreaming in Code" by Scott Rosenberg. Dives into the history of the Chandler project. ISBN 978-1-4000-8247-6. I don't know if I agree with the blurb on the back that it'

Damn. It's 12 EUR/month in Ireland.

parallel is a tool I've reached for many times; the citation bit it prints is odd - it seems to assume that the general use case is research/academic - but easily squelched. A sample use case would be having a file that has words

Do you need it to be available over wireless for direct printing, or just on the network without making holes? If it's the latter, are you aware of Ethernet over power (aka powerline networking)?

In Ireland at least, there's no such book title - here it's "Exactly: how precision engineers created the modern world" https://dlr.spydus.ie/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SET...

Anecdotally, yes Joomla and Drupal were much harder to work with and get them to look "nice".

They have two accounts on that service, and have uploaded firmware, but the one article I can find (Phoronix) indicates in 2020 it was only for a single board. Would indeed be nice if they'd expand that out to more boards.

Found this while watching someone on Twitch refurbish/repair a HP 4c scanner. Goes into some detail about the light source, light path, capture CCD, and RF problems.

A non-US perspective (Irish). My employer reports my pay, deductions, benefits in kind, income tax, etcetera every month to the Revenue (goes by the acronym PAYE - Pay As You Earn). At any point up to three years after the end of a tax year

Black is opinionated, but you just run it, accept the opinions, and never think about formatting after that. No debates over how to format a code block; focus on the actual logic being implemented.

I think it's worth noting that that document links to the Github for the sync server, and that page says "Note that this repository is no longer being maintained. Use this at your own risk, and with the understanding that it is no

Hypothetically, since I have no way to test this easily right now, you only need to run the profile directory in a synced location and run the exe from a platform-specific portable directory.

Anecdotally, I miss the days of Netscape combined with Netscape Enterprise Server. Ran it at college, and you could log in to any Netscape browser and all your bookmarks appeared. Then NES died, Netscape became Mozilla and it all went away.

Anecdotally, this reminds me of a terrible experience with some Dell hardware back around 2011. I volunteered to do an installation of some hardware in a POP cage at one of the London UK colos. Hardware arrived a day or two late, got it unp

Not even older, it's a standard heating technique in the UK and Ireland, even in modern homes built last year. You can use an air-to-water heat pump to retrofit a condensing gas boiler. Some even come integrated in to the hot water sto

It's not a language solution, but an AST based linter perhaps? PyCQA might have one already; they definitely have a "consider using f-strings" lint you can turn on.
