I am 185cm (6'1") and around 100kg (220lbs) now. I think my BMI is edging towards obesity or even there at this point so I def need to shed some weight. Exercise seems to be a no brainer even without a weight concern but I’ve been

I was 140kg (310lbs) at some point and got down to 75kg (165lbs) in 1 year. Never did a minute of exercise. I just started eating ~1200 calories per day. Now, that was 10 years ago, I slowly gained weight again but not to the same degree. I

I recently needed some tiny server to bridge a printer to airprint / network scanner etc. Immediately thought about rpi as I could simply plug it in and probably tape it to the back of said printer indefinitely. Seeing the ridiculous p

Wouldn’t that cause aliasing if you set those pixels to a solid color? Or do you keep the alpha and set a color so the outline is faint but not aliased?

I built some hobby projects using these connectors and I did not have a crimper so.. solder it is. Never had a problem but the connections were pretty solid in enclosures so no movement after assembling things. I agree that "do it how

I've smoked intermittently for years. Whenever I started back, it was triggered by something stressful. I don't know if it is the addiction lurking around even after not smoking once in 5 years. It is extremely calming in those st

I got into the hype and bought multiple mechanical keyboards a couple years ago. Finally went back to Apple’s magic keyboard. Touch id was a large factor but apparently I love those chiclet keyboards.

I mean, floating point numbers are easy to get wrong. And why care about semantics? This is a data transfer format, it should be able to represent data that is being transferred gazillion times a day. Make it raw ISO 8601 { "created_at

I feel like the comments are the only important part. I’d rather not have single quoted strings or unquoted identifiers to be honest. Trailing commas are nice to have though. All I miss in JSON are comments and a native datetime type. Every

Also, the underlying processing also takes some time obviously. Hence the 1.5ms timeout. If the cards take 0.5ms on average to respond in real world that leaves even less time to relay. But I bet in close proximity, sub 1ms would not be a b

In Turkey when the contactless payments became ubiquitous one concern / urban myth was that people were using actual pos devices in public transport to lift money from wallets at back pockets and stuff. I guess that would work but that

20-25 years ago a handful of companies had a weird hold on me. I’d jump on anything Google made back then. Blizzard could sell me any game they came up with. If it was from Blizzard, it was gonna be great. Lost all of it obviously. Not a s

I would, if the thing stabilized enough. For example, in a project needed to rely heavily on markdown and needed the exact same markdown renderer on both server and client. That alone made us choose node.js on the server side so that we cou

Pages?. Postgres does that apparently if enabled. And when a page is read, it is already read… The server just checks the checksum. Only overhead should be recalculating the checksum and validating it. Now, in case a bit flips somewhere you

Ok you are probably on to something I need to apologize for calling him a moron more than once on this. Come to think about this, we used a lot of different software and switched them as Windows would not open JPEGs by itself I believe.

Meh. I tried to npm install and run it. Npm failed with a cryptic error message. I have a built docker image of this so in any case, I can eventually fix it. Was not that important though. But then again, why the fuck does that fail now? I

This thing has been flying since 1977. Meanwhile a javascript app of mine from 2022 does not build now because I can’t get it to install the dependencies for some reason. BTW, that transmitter apparently can not transmit back to earth at th

Well you can store metadata in SQLite. You can update metadata and files in a transaction. It already has a caching layer built in (I think 8mb by default, that might need some tuning for this use case). It is thread safe (I mean it is a gi

Yeah I’ve seen colorblind modes in a lot of apps. It is great for those affected. And probably not a huge hassle to implement anyway. But I was curious if one needs to rely on the application developers to deliver a solution or if there was

Do you have some kind of an accessibility tool for this? Maybe a whole screen filter that changes colors in a specific way so you can distinguish them?

I personally do these in .NET, I obtain a connection dedicated to that operation, start a transaction, obtain lock and go crazy. Upon completion of the async workflow, the transaction closes and lock releases. I know I'm holding up a c

I tend to use postgresql for distributed locking. As in, even if the job is not db related, I start a transaction and obtain an advisory lock which stays locked until the transaction is released. Either by the app itself or due to a crash o

Wait what? Am I gonna include a source code parser and AST analyser to my JavaScript library for example, to examine the provided expression source and do this? This reads like the infamous Dropbox comment from when it first got released.

Most of the time, it is not because there were too many slow things to be improved, it is mostly because they are adding more facilities to the runtime, enabling other performance improvements. For example, the ReadOnlySpan type is a recent

I say “latest” in relation to years of issues. I’d probably get around other smaller stuff at the moment. But the fractional scaling simply blocks me from using desktop linux at the moment.

I try to completely get into Linux desktop at least once a year.. Been more than 20 years I've been doing that. There is always some blocker. Had 2-3 months of exclusive linux use a couple of times but never stuck. My latest main issue
