To me what worked was going the slow route: do small but *permanent* adjustments to the diet in order to slowly decrease calorie consumption. This is the path that is safest against eating disorders. Having soda 5x per week? Well, let'

Which software do you need from PPA? At the end of the day, stuff in PPAs is just .deb packages, so it may be possible to just install them in Debian. That said, I've never had to use a PPA in my life, the default Debian archive alread

> leaning towards PopOs since I like Debain support So why not just Debian? Most developers I know use either Debian, Fedora or Arch Linux.

More important than speed is the perception of speed and how users react it. I usually don't notice things are slow until I see my wife using them. She has absolutely zero patience with tech, so if she taps/clicks something and it

Well, back when I was single, Ruby was definitely the answer. Now that I'm married I would still try it, or some or the JS frameworks backed by the big companies and still alive. I don't think my wife would mind me using Ruby.

TIL brute-forcing from 0000 to 9999 is a decent strategy.

Video games often present some nice math lessons. Trying to understand why the Grief runeword in Diablo 2 did so much more damage than other items that had way bigger numbers was a great exercise in math, lol (and I didn't fully grasp

You have it configured in KDE. The cool keyboards allow configuring layers in the keyboard firmware. Yeah it took me a while to get used to my layers, but now it's all muscle memory and I don't even remember which key does what.

Decent fractional keyboards have buttons that change the meaning of every other key, they're called "layers". You get less keys but you get more options, and 100% less wrist moving.

I have a keyboard that's "missing" essential keys, but I have a special key that I can press with my thumb that changes that every single key does (it's called a Layer). So I never need to move my wrist to press the arro

Lol. On the other hand, I use Linux network namespaces to make programs run outside the VPN on a specific machine that has the whole system configured to go through the VPN. So yeah if you get namespaces you can use them to both isolate p

Yeah, good reminder about Testing security. But some packages with serious security issues get a fast pass from Unstable to Testing sometimes. Chances are that if you're installing a server that's new enough to need to run Debian

I'm here just to remind everybody that the Debian Stable release cadence is about the same as Ubuntu LTS. Plus Debian doesn't have snaps, Unity and the other Ubuntu-specific "value-adds". (on the other hand, Debian'

To me, what happened is that my tastes have changed. I no longer appreciate games that are huge time-sinks and require grinding or mindless tasks. I prefer things that are engaging and allow quick gameplay sessions. I tend to gravitate to F

No prior programming or domain knowledge? Absolutely not. Even good programmers take months to become productive in my team due to how obscure the knowledge that is required. You have to lean piles of stuff you would otherwise not have lear

I am a dev who work mostly on C-only codebases and it's so... relaxing when I get the opportunity to write C++ so I can use stuff like std::vector or std::string. I think of C++ as a scripting language. On the other hand, I'm not

The lack of mention to Linux's power management system during measurement is worrying. This is the kind of test that gets completely affected by Linux power management policies, up to the point where results may be meaningless.
