Agree with GP, I ran Wayland (sway) for a few months and eventually switched back to X11. Graphical glitches, compositing latency, no reasonable screenshot tool and daily "I hope screen sharing works today" eventually became too m

Well, staple utilities typically have short names, so sorting the results by name length might help: $ apropos count lines | awk '{print length($1), $0}' | sort -n | head 2 gc (1) - count graph components

The canonical answer to your problem is APROPOS(1). It searches man pages for keywords. Say you remember there was a man page describing the filesystem hierarchy, you'd run: $ apropos "filesystem hierarchy" hier (7)

I'd argue LED flicker to be more noticeable than fluorescent or incandescent flicker because LEDs typically go from 100 % brightness to 0 % brightness in one cycle. Incandescent lights dim smoothly, so you don't get the "phan

You are being very dismissive here. How do you know that everybody that complains about screen or LED flicker are "imagining things"? Case in point, I agree with GP. I am also sensitive to LEDs flickering at 50 or 100 Hz (EU resid

The like button disappeared for me a while ago and was replaced by a ⊕ that adds it to the "liked songs" playlist. Are you saying your app still shows the heart button to like a song? Or are you talking about the thumbs-up button

You can work around this issue by curling your index finger tightly so it forms a tiny hole near the 2nd knuckle and looking through that. What you've got now is a makeshift pinhole camera that should fix any "smearing". It&#

A trick I've found useful when searching large man pages for a flag --foo is to search for `␣␣--foo` (note the two leading spaces). In my experience this always hits the line where the flag is defined instead of irrelevant mentions of

I was expecting a tale of how the author managed to overwrite whatever part of the monitor's firmware was responsible for spitting out the EDID. While interesting, the title is a bit misleading: it's an ugly but effective hack to

This method is usually referred to as "Dead Bug" style wiring in English, because the end result usually resembles a dead bug with its legs curled inwards.

Great tip. I would also couple it with the —-user flag so the service runs as your user. Stuff like this shouldn’t have root permissions anyway.

The worst is tilde (~): right alt + ¨ (where US layout has ]), release both keys then press spacebar. If you hit any other key you apply the tilde modifier to it and end up with e.g. ñ. ` is a bit more ergonomic at shift + \, release, the

Now just can -- when disassembling a mechanical wristwatch you realize that these things were built with serviceability in mind. There's no glue, everything comes apart with ease. That's one of the main reasons for my fascinatio

I serviced it myself a few months ago. It definitely needed a new crystal, but the movement was in very good condition. I didn't even replace the mainspring. Some pictures here: https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic&#x2

I take it you didn't want to fall into the rabbit hole that is watch servicing, cleaning and lubrication? That's a deep and expensive one, especially for automatics... Might I suggest you reach out to Marshall @WristwatchRevival a

Excellent points! I'd like to add that while your Apple watch might last you 5-10 years, a mechanical watch well looked-after can last several lifetimes. I'm currently daily-driving an automatic watch from the mid-60s that still s

I built this a few years ago: https://fellerts.no/projects/eog.php . It only gave me intense nightmares. It was a cool project though, and I'm sure it could work for some people.

Surprised to see r/Embedded and r/microcontrollers under "Experts". Is the article implying that embedded development is the domain of experienced devs? I'd beg to differ and put those under "Embedded developme
