LLMs made things a lot easier but before them I wished there was a stackoverflow but paid, so you could pay someone for an answer if they happened to have specific information. You could kind of emulate it by buying stackoverflow upvotes, t

They do have some sort of sleep but its very inefficient so Lenovo Thinkpads actually go into hibernation after an hour or so of sleep, to avoid the user waking up to an empty battery.

Set ‘media.default_volume’ to 0.3 or so in about:config.

Don’t fall for this. It’s too good and I can’t get out now since nothing else than vscode supports it. Dependencies, env vars, dev databases, ports, everything all written up in code and ready to use once you open the workspace. All without

Some iOS 15 phones like the 5S/SE have no newer comparable phones which makes upgrading difficult. Oh dear, I suppose not browsing the web is another option.

I’ve always wondered why the backtrace just kind of stops midway to when you finally handle an error, instead of showing up to the `?` where the error happened. I’ve been using anyhow’s `with_context` to add helpful notes to each usage of `

Any way to get Firefox ESR without untrusted third party flatpacks? On normal firefox you can’t run your own extensions…

Buying a movie from google for that certainty sounds pretty good huh. I wonder if the purchase might also dissuade any accidental deletions of a google account.

With higher latency the experience suffers. As an example liveview page navigations work via websocket which is not cacheable so navigating back/forward always needs to make a request. You really need some edge setup like fly, or only

Wasn’t manifest v3 supposed to prevent dynamically loaded code? As the article says these extensions are featured but (I think) the latest update to v3 says: “In January 2023, use of Manifest V3 will become a prerequisite for the Featured b

Yes, sounds right. When trying out Fedora I installed the fcitx5 tools, added some env vars and virtual keyboard settings and rebooted. Then I had CJK working on a virtual keyboard device. It’s just very different from MacOS and Windows whe

For what I understand in order to use CJK languages on Linux you currently have to install not a keyboard layout but a separate input device which makes getting started quite difficult. I wonder if the pop-os devs have anything up their sle

I have tried all sorts of Electron, Java and Web Postgres clients but HeidiSQL, despite limited Postgres support, is just way too usable in comparison. Maybe it speaks for the datatable implementation of Delphi but I’m not sure.

You don’t need an import map on an existing project now, meaning it needs less configuration than before.

Being able to lift cookies from every website you are logged into sounds crazy and amazing. Anyone have any clue what people are using it for? Maybe roll your own session sync?

Why does it matter what language, framework or library someone works on their weekends? I guess the main point was bad influence from people working on non-systems programming stuff. Rustlang blog itself appears to have general ideas on wha

A scroll wheel speed of one line at a time is not a good default.

How so people feel about client side navigation? Browsing svelte.dev it appears back/forward navigation now requires a request each time as browser cache is no longer usable. Page refresh also seems to reset scroll position but that mi

Sounds good, I’ll try again when I have time. My latest attempt was back in Summer with Fedora 36 and a Logitech mouse. The default was one line at a time and I could not find a setting for it. (Apart from Firefox config but I need multiple

Off topic but I really wish the regular old mouse and scroll wheel would work ”normally” straight out the box on fedora/ubuntu/etc. It’s really such a horrible experience coming from Windows when using the mouse is all icky not ha

Sometimes I chuckle to myself wondering why people pay 36 bucks a year for 1Password. Then I launch my $10/year Bitwarden desktop app. I’m halfway through typing my master password and a popup launches capturing the rest of my keystrok

Is there a way to remember what justify/align-content/items do on a column or row? I write css semi-rarely and go through all options in dev tools until it’s the one I want..

Sorry, a better link would have been https://lunatic.solutions/blog/rust-without-the-async-hard-p... Just wanted to comment on the async part that interesting solutions are being developed.

Lunatic runtime for Rust to avoid the async parts might become quite nice in the future: https://github.com/lunatic-solutions/submillisecond Not sure what it might take for someone to write database connectors for it b

JS has 10x the amount of developers of all other languages combined, that translates to a lot of ideas on how to progress the different avenues of JS land.
