Yeah agreed, I'd much rather use something that's standard and installed alongside every other Node.js install. Rather than put my trust in another package manager for 10s of improvement on a completely clean install (which isn&#x

It annoys me that I have a bunch of games on my Steam account for 32bit only macOS (Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2 etc) that just cannot be played on a modern mac. To be fair, Apple have gone through two CPU architecture changes since I bough

This resonates with me, and is what I always try to drum into less experienced engineers when we're pairing. You'd be surprised how often someone who doesn't know programming that well will sit down and code for a whole hour

This is how the London Underground works now. Used to require an Oyster card but has worked with contactless cards for a good few years at this point.

I second this. I was using a Cloudflare Tunnel, which worked but meant I had to jump through some hoops setting up an email auth flow that then sent me a verification code Now I use Tailscale (which is free for a single-user account) and it

I was bullish on SSB and it was definitely a cool experiment (completely decentralized; doesnt even need a server, p2p social networks!) but at the end of the day, if those "benefits" are not explainable to the layman (or not even

This is the same in the UK with the NHS dentists now. No NHS availability but as soon as you ask for private availability they can see you next day.

Thank you! I will absolutely bear that in mind, and I'm definitely conscious of taking on too much with work and family commitments. Your English is perfect!

Thanks! Been eyeing up Home Assistant a lot over the last few days. Also tempted to attach a touchscreen to my raspberry pi, put it in a nice case and use that as a UI for it, though adding a web browser to the installation rules out using

Being asked whether you want to pay with credit or debit when you are trying to pay with a debit card is one of those culture shock moments every time I visit the USA and I ask myself "how could it not know?"

I just bought my first house, so I am hoping to sink my teeth into some home improvement tasks (drilling, basic plumbing, changing light fixtures etc) - definitely a challenge for someone who's only lived in rentals before. Also intere

Only 45 days in the post; shortest in UK history. She tanked the economy quicker than anyone before. It's quite impressive how you can mess up this bad. Borrowing money to pay for tax cuts for the rich... Unbelievable.

Also +1 to the Velcro swaddle. Swaddling with a regular piece of fabric is something I mastered in the hospital and then swiftly forgot as soon as we got home. The Velcro swaddle was a game changer. We transitioned to sleeping bags with arm

Just FYI, the images on your site appear to be lazy-loading and on Firefox, it's creating a very stuttered experience. I thought it may have been the size of the images, but none of them are HUGE (there are a couple over 1MB though).

Yup this is what I always say. Using modern conveniences doesn't equal laziness. There's a bunch of stuff that cars do for you automatically that you wouldn't call laziness for not doing it yourself: traction control, abs, po

Yeah I'd agree with this. Smaller more windy roads, maybe need more control. I think a lot of it does have to do with historically bad automatics as well, and the fact that doing your test in an automatic locks you into driving them fo

I think this is largely dependent on the car, which is a pro for manual transmission (the consistency and sensitivity when driving). I personally prefer the less sensitive automatics because it's better for fuel economy. In my car, swi

I always found it strange how people in the UK prefer driving manual transmissions, there's always talk of liking the "feeling" and "control" when driving, this is coming from people who are not enthusiasts and don&
