It sounds like maybe either you're doing something wrong or there's something wrong with your iron. I have a Hakko and it works great, I have no issues with tinning the tip at all, never had to do a vinegar soak or anything like t

I mostly use shortened versions of my real name. For instance, here it's my first name and the first two letters of my last name. Other places it's my first name and the first 1 letter of my last name. I prefer a short username (j

It's unfortunate that the author chose such a clickbait name for this essay. It puts me, someone who has seen boardgame rulebooks that definitely aren't awful, in an angry defensive mood when reading this, which is bolstered by th

I completely agree. I've seen many games with good rulebooks, but they're not the sprawling complicated dungeon crawlers like so many examples from the essay. Those big games are going to have complicated rulebooks because they ha

> Being tightly wound must be an East-coast thing. To some degree, yes. Boston is just 4-5 hrs away from NYC, where just 6 years earlier two commercial passenger jets (from Boston) crashed into the WTC in the deadliest terrorist attack i

The very first sentence of the article you linked states that they were mistaken for IEDs.

Still, either "nmi" or "NM" would be better than the current and less correct "nm", even if "nm" is what's used in the article.

Similarly, no pilot in the Devil’s Lake region is using DVL to mean Deauville, and vice versa. :)

It's quite amusing that they used the incorrect, lowercase abbreviation for "nautical mile" which means something else ("nanometer") in an article about a major issue caused by two things sharing the same abbreviati

This works with Apple Music links too. From the site: "Paste a link from Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Deezer or SoundCloud to start."

Would you mind expanding on what these "sharp edges" are that you're warning about? I'm not really sure what you mean by this. Keychain has served me (and I imagine many others) really well for a while.

Same here. I used SciTE and Notepad++ way back in the day, probably 20-ish years ago. They were my first taste of useful light-ish weight text editors (with more features than plain old Notepad). Since then I no longer use windows as my dai

What makes that one better in your opinion? I've tried both and I think they're both OK.

It's indeed the way it is so that you can indicate a square that must be water. What you propose sounds like a solver to me, and I much prefer solving it myself.

On the main page of the site, there's a scanned letter shown for every month, but it ends on April 2024. Does anyone know what happened to the author? If it weren't just tv licensing, I'd say it were worrying that there'

While I'm pretty sure that all versions of this game are pretty good, the N64 version in particular holds a special place in my heart. There was a way you could play it with 8 players on 4 controllers, with each person using half of a

How in the world is it enshittification if there's no noticeable change to users? Nothing got shittier, so doesn't that by definition mean it's not enshittification?

I wonder why it was unmaintained/dropped. Was there something wrong with it, and if so, would that also apply to this kind of wasm implementation?

Thanks, it's really nice to get an answer from the creator of one of these tools!

by joemi 2y ago
Do the creators/maintainers of these tools ever try to get their improvements merged into the tools they aim to replace? And does it ever happen? For a while I've heard about things like ripgrep and such that seem to be so much be

Raising the barrier for access like Google has done feels very anti-small company. Sure, it's more secure, but I have to wonder if they could improve security without excluding smaller companies like this. Seeing as it's Google, t
