After years of Fedora I now primarily run Windows because WSL just does everything I need. I prefer to still work in WSL Linux env and have my IDEs running through Windows (mostly Visual Studio Code and Goland). It's a nice setup for m

MP3 players and mobile phones with hardware keys. I still miss the latter. I can not seem to type accurately on a touch screen phone keyboard and it always low key bothers me. I feel like I'd be faster pressing a button 3 times to get

I gave up on Evernote when I started getting seemingly endless popups with discounts and deals to try to get me to sign up for a paid version. Overall, it seemed to become ad-ridden and bloated for me, and I didn't really need the vast

I'm certainly not playing games or trying to be mean. Your replies seemed like they may be picking apart the OP's comment in a way that legitimately appeared to illustrate their point, hence my question. I get how my question abou

Despite the slight language or spelling barrier I still feel like I got what OP was trying to say without much trouble. I'm actually curious if you're trying to illustrate the following part of their comment with your replies? &gt

When my cat was six months old he was very sick with a persistent urinary blockage. I'll say right away that he did not really die, in case someone reads this and is then disappointed that this is not a _literal_ resurrection story. Bu

I resonated with the "Why"s so much: > * Clear writing leads to clear thinking. > * You don’t know what you know until you try to express it. > * If your writing is nonsense, maybe your thoughts are nonsense too This is t

It seems like the heated argument part could have been avoided if both parties assumed each other's competence. If A says they've already tried something, B could have believed that they did and that they did so with competence. A

When I read the title I clicked in here to say "Absolutely not", but the scenario you described sounds really nice, actually. If everyone got a private room to sleep in I'd consider it.

I saw this for the first time last week and have since gotten this several times. Often opening the site in Incognito mode "fixes" it, but I would not expect a Bad Gateway error to returned in case of any user-specific throttling

I feel very privileged and sometimes out of touch, but I don't think people outside of tech are in a "lower social class" than me. The difference between us isn't that great in the end, and there are _many_ people who ea

I blog as a personal journal. The goal isn't for the blog to be popular, it's just to get my thoughts down. Writing down something I learned also helps me consolidate that information in my head better. Explaining something in a

It is a setting the author chooses when publishing their book through KDP, and some authors choose not to enable it. Pretty sure it is enabled by default though.

Ahh I see, that is unfortunate. Please don't take this as all around advice as I'm not sure what your relationship is like with this coworker, but here's what I can imagine doing in this situation: I'd reach out in Slack

I'd just flag that you may want to confirm license requirements in the PR review. It doesn't seem like a rare oversight to make and code reuse is so common in general. I remember reviewing someone's PR and realizing I recogni

They can remove books you download to your Kindle ereader, but they can't remove book files you download to your actual PC from the Kindle library.

I don't mean downloading to Kindle, but actually downloading the book file to your machine where it is no longer at Amazon's mercy. If the book has DRM Calibre takes care of that, it's how many people transfer Amazon bought b

Then more applicable advice seems like it could've been "Everyone should go to their Kindle library and download their ebooks as soon as they purchase them."

Thanks, but I've tried lots of more detailed ways of tracking before and decided this is just the one I prefer. My main concern is that I'm not overspending too badly and saving a good percentage for investments, and for that all

I just have a monthly number for all expenses excluding rent and try to stick to it. It doesn't always work, but I kind of stay in the ballpark.

I just never really liked the taste of alcohol, so I figured why bother? Alcohol isn't good for me and if I don't actually enjoy it, there's not much point. If the waiter brings a complimentary glass of champagne in a restaur

I'm sorry for your loss. My cats are getting older and every once in a while I get pangs of anxiety about how the heck I'll be able to handle it when they pass, whether they'll be in pain, how I can make it better, etc. I fin

I still feel socially awkward sometimes, but other are surprised when I tell them this because I generally come off as pretty well adjusted socially. I was very awkward in shy in school. In ninth grade I decided to go out of my way to stop
