In Croatia all the youth are wearing black, and what makes even less sense, they wear black during summer too. Boggles the mind.

To add my 2c here. Been riding mountain bikes for at least 20 years, and from 2014 more intensively. The latter on so called enduro, and a little bit of downhill bikes. Had some crashes, both low and high speed. Nothing that I couldn't

Well not everywhere in Europe. I have Philips version of LED bulbs which replaced my halogen lights. They are great, and they have the same beam form so they don't blind anyone. At the same time, they wanted to fail me on the annual in

Those "necessary" add-ons and sidecars are out of control, but its the people problem. I'm part of the infra team and we manage just couple of k8s clusters, but those are quite big and have very high traffic load. The k8s + t

While I see your point I don’t think it’s a very useful one. It’s more productive to aspire for the betterment of your own/group’s position/circumstances than to compare how other groups have it worse. The latter just brings compl

I’m not sure why nobody invented a way to dynamically update values.yaml based on what are writing in the template file. And maybe vice-versa. It would be such a time saver. Maybe someone did, but I didn’t find it yet.

It does kind of suck if the binary is frequently updated, big and you have a slow internet connection. So some program which normally takes seconds to open can take 20 or more seconds to open after an update. Or if you don't use that p

Really too bad you cannot upgrade to 32GB RAM though =(

Why buy a laptop then if you're lugging all those external hard drives?

It would make more sense to discontinue the smaller model along with some other updates to the line. Or in other words, Air won't receive any other updates this week unfortunately.

There really isn't a chance they'll update the same product twice in a week.

Yeah that sucks. We definitely need more 5K monitors. And oh what I would give for high refresh rate ones too.

by jq-r 2y ago
I bought mine like 2 years ago and it's been rock solid. IIRC they had some revisions over the years. And being rock solid: that's a bit of a lie because the monitor is wobbly as hell. So I've propped it with two supports on

From what I understand, it reduces the turnover dramatically. In theory the booster should be refuelled, new second stage mounted on top and ready to go for another flight. So could cut down from weeks to days/hours. That's signif

I've managed to get about 1/3 in but found it boring and messy. That was years ago so I might give it another shot. Thanks for reminding me about that book.

Fiction: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. Non-fiction: Pilates Anatomy by Rael Isacowitz - it changed me and changed my body.

Similar for me, early 40ties, started June with strength training and been combining this with mat/reformer pilates and cardio on a bike trainer. I can also say its been life changing. I'm not boasting or anything here, but I went

It definitely is annoying. I’m sure they’ve made it for Find My to work most of the time. I wouldn’t mind bluetooth being on all the time but if you have AirTag nearby it drains the battery pretty aggressively.

I'm not sure if we're talking here about the same things. You may say: "oh it's easy to get meds and it's cheap to do X, medical system is great" while being a medical tourist and/or having a far above ave

Well some relatively common things are easy to get in Croatia (bloodwork and meds - GPs like to prescribe those to get rid of you), more serious like exams, treatments, surgeries are absolutely terrible with waiting lists which are years lo

Exactly. This whole scheme won't work in EU because it's against car manufacturer's interest. The whole of eastern Europe is flooded by second hand German cars and the reason is twofold. First, the western Europe still can af

Or even worse, laws are selectively enforced. You've been downvoted in your root comment because people latch onto that neo-nazi definition but missing forest from the trees. The far right over here is powerful, organized and very voca

I’m sure that’s the second part of the plan. You don’t do both at the same time, as the law would be unlikely to pass. Like with all unpopular policies you first start with something which is relatively acceptable, then you turn up the scre

I tried for months and it was a bloodbath every single time. I guess if I were more persistent the skin would harden up or something but, shaved again with a cartridge blade and never looked back.

Or to add sarcastically, if Telegram and/or Durov was American I'm sure there would be an uproar.

Thats great to hear. I'm also working on my body after 2 spinal surgeries. Doing pilates each day, and additionally weight training and cycling on each alternating day. For a skinny guy who never did any resistance training, this trans

If China takes over Taiwan they gain nothing technology wise. All the manufacturing would be destroyed and many engineers would flee or get killed.

RTO is a tool. A tool which I saw works very well against even a wiff of unionization. The remaining workers suffered for couple of months, but there is no union anymore.
