I've always used mplayer for command line video playback. How does mpv compare to that?

I played Pokemon Go daily throughout the pandemic as a way to get out of the house and get some exercise. I also quit a few months ago as the walking habit has stuck without the need for any other incentive.

I think the OP is talking about single car households becoming two car households just to have one of each. Fewer cars is better, electric or not.

I want to listen to my music, the music I've bought, not what spotify throws at me. I'm currently using Youtube Music because it at least lets me store and play my music collection, even though it tries to push me toward the strea

What do you eat on these trips? Do you carry food with your or just stop at shops and restaurants along the way? How heavy is your backpack? I love biking but I don't love lugging tons of stuff around.

I've been in the industry for many years and I've never had to do this. Is it mostly an American thing? I had to do a coding test for the job I'm doing now but it was a "take home" test and was directly related to t

I can't tell from your post whether you're currently unemployed or unhappily employed and looking for something new. I feel there's a big difference between "burnout" and dealing with the stress of unemployment.

My first programming job was working with Data General Business Basic which was marketed as a 4GL but probably doesn't fit the definition these days. It took high level code and generated really ugly pure BASIC from it.

As far as speed is concerned (and yes this is a generalization): defined object > dynamic object > array But it's very much a micro-optimization.

If I want a clinical office space style room I'll use a hotel. If I want something different or fun, or a place that's shared so I can talk to people, I'll use airbnb. Airbnbs also tend to be cheaper for longer stays (more th

This is similar to the common advice of "always get dressed before you start work". Maybe that's helpful to a lot of people, but I get just as much done in pyjamas.

I set up a hugo blog a while ago and took a much simpler route. I have a shell script called "blog" which just opens an empty template in my editor and then publishes it when I save it in non-draft mode. Publishing is just another

If you're in a foreign country then you have to go to your embassy, they are there to help in exactly situations like this. Go in person if you can.

I feel like more granular options would be useful here like "Python with beautifulsoup" or "PHP with Guzzle".

That's why I said "as much as possible". I keep the bash scripts as linear as possible so they are "scripts" rather than "programs". We started out using cypress, which I was convinced was the wrong tool f

Or even avoid programming languages as much as possible. Most of my API tests are done with curl and jq. (Which I blogged about here: https://lambic.ca/blog/api-testing-with-curl/ )
