It took me (us as we are a family now) to get a good system to manage food. With a few exceptions, like going on vacation, I never throw away meat or fish, it's not that hard to manage, if I don't eat it within 1-3 days, I either

The part about parameter less catch reveals a lot about the philosophy of the language. For me, silencing error like this is a bad practice. You may still produce a sane error in the catch, but the design goes toward silencing things. I rea

It's too late, I sailed away. It took me a year to have a good linux setup, not switching back. But I'm glad they finally admitted the problem.

I did a few stupid things when I was around this age, but Internet was nearly non existent so it was mostly within LANs. I agree that IoT is a real problem, and I fear people will realize too late, with an accident or something, but this ki

I never tried the Mazda system, but as an experienced UX designer, I agree that touchscreen in a car is one of the worst idea ever in term of UX. It's far, it requires aim, there is no tactile feedback, some gestures (like scroll) are

I usually use lua to script my C apps (games, embedded projects), but I might give nim a go for my next project.

I agree. I still use C a lot, but I often couple it with luajit for scripting.

I see a lot of people here complaining about firefox performances and other things/bugs. But we are on hacker news. Many devs are here. Firefox needs us, we need a strong alternative. Instead of complaining, we need to participate to t

I worked with Cisco a lot in the past. I am so happy we have more and more open source alternative to replace all those network solution vendors.

I just started a new app, and I decided to try Phoenix LiveView. It's really simpler and easier to work with. It won't work well with all kind of apps, especially those with offline support, but for many many apps/website it

Everybody has different preferences and needs, I don't think there is a golden standard, but here is my setup. 4x27" (not retina, sadly I don't have the budget for this). They are all horizontal, with 3 at the bottom and 1 a

I think it depends on what the time represents. When a user inputs a time, let's say for an alarm, this is always "wall clock", and this is what you store. The timezone can be stored too, but this is also dynamic. For example

I lost contact with many people since the death of ICQ, AIM, MSN and google chat. But I was able to find some of them on discord. I like discord, but it saddens me greatly that it's not an open service. I wish matrix would have taken o

I have been a programmer/hacker for a long time, but the XDA dev forum is still some kind of obscure place I do not understand. Also the tone is not very user friendly in general, I understand that when you post a rom you built you don

I was using lineage 15 for a while, but when I bought my oneplus 6 I switched to omnirom because they had support for android 9. Lineage 16 still doesn't seem to support my oneplus 6, I wonder if they will.

For example, you want to dynamically generate a background and text color based on a hue. With hsluv you can simple do `hsluv(120, 60%, 10%)` for background color and `hsluv(120, 60%, 90%)` for foreground text color, you will have text on b

I love how elm enforces semver versioning. When you write a library, it will detect API changes and upgrade the version accordingly.

Yes, I also have the flickering issue with some LEDs, and I can confirm that (to my eye) the philips LEDs I bought do not flicker. I also have a few OSRAM LEDs that don't flicker.

While I am a Linux user, I boot my workstation under windows for gaming. So I would not even be accounted as a linux gamer by the stats. While rebooting is a bit cumbersome, I don't really mind now. I also wouldn't trust all the g

The search is not bad when you know what you are looking for. It's fuzzy search that is missing, and a few UI adjustments.
