Heh, whoops. Definitely a typo, but in all seriousness the printer is actually usable by wife now, so that is a huge plus. She could use it before, but hadn’t learned how to adjust Live Z and thus didn’t like changing the sheet. If you do i

I wasn’t really sold on the 4/4S, but I recently upgraded a 3S+ to a 4S and am amazed how much improved. The new touchscreen LCD is a huge improvement over the old two line monochrome LCD. Remote access and wife printing is a nice plus

Low key travel will probably make it worse if you don’t have an effective way to learn modify your behavior. The substantially lower key travel when Apple rolled out chiclet-style keyboards on MacBook Pros trashed my fingers and wrists. I d

Blender is often used as an example of open source polish, but I think too many people focus on how it exists today and not how it evolved. Blender got its start as a commercial tool that a pool of people raised €100,000 to pay to make it o

I contend this wasn’t an issue prior to Cloudflare making that an option. Sure, some IDS would block some users and geo blocks have been around forever. But, Cloudflare is so prolific and makes it so easy to block things inadvertently, that

That savings is significant when bootstrapping. And the cloud costs often increase in short order. With a colo server you’re not having to worry about a runaway process or config issue skyrocketing costs. That $120 is fixed and there’s prob

A blog post related to the Rails 8 beta 1 was posted by dhh shortly after his talk. It's not a transcription of the talk, but hits many of the key points: https://rubyonrails.org/2024/9/27/rails-8-beta1-n

If the supply of labor is so high then Boeing can hire scabs. I don’t follow how on the one hand the workers add so little value and are so replaceable that they deserve no raise and then on the other hand their strike could kill the compan

It's relevant because you claimed if these people didn't get sucked into games that they would just be degenerates in other walks of life. I don't think it's all that debatable that people are addicted to their phones. M

I'm in a similar boat. I'll just play on a handheld gaming system (e.g., Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS). I realize that's not convenient when waiting in line wherever, but I cope. Apple created a race to the bottom and created t

I'd be more than happy with fewer games. These F2P games are deliberately designed to prey on people's weaknesses because, as much as we'd like to pretend otherwise, humans are not entirely rational. Moreover, humans are not

A key difference, to me at least, is that it's not a made up word (well, no more than any other established word). Ambiguity over its pronunciation comes from lack of familiarity with the source language. That's fine, we all need

The signature part is problematic. Many (most?) of us don’t have a need to use handwriting in our day-to-day lives. I rarely even need to endorse checks. And my official signature on either my license or SSN card are from years ago. While m

For what it’s worth, I thought the same thing when Rails added a component called “Spring”. I thought it would lead to needless search conflicts since they’re both used for web development. But, it’s mostly been a non-issue.

The ancestry information in Tree Style Tabs (and also with Orion's built-in vertical tabs) is an undersold feature, I think. Edge has vertical tabs and they're not terribly useful. You get a constant-sized click target, which is a

Will it automatically create the folders based on the ancestry of tab open events? I acknowledged that you can nest folders, but find it incredibly tedious to have to do it manually. If you know of a way to carry the tab tree over to bookma

Not the OP, but I also have a lot of tabs. In every browser I’ve tried the bookmark manager is rather primitive. I once ran into a Floccus bug that duplicated tens of thousands of bookmarks and discovered bookmark managers also don’t scale

It’s worth giving the 0.22 weekly snapshots a try. The UI isn’t as refined as commercial offerings that can pay people to just do it, but the UX is much improved and quite usable. I tried to get going with FreeCAD a while back and gave up,

When building an alternative implementation of a language you're a bit hamstrung by the name. You could come up with something completely novel, but no one is ever going to discover or use your software. So, it's quite common to i

I've had really good luck with vcsh and git-crypt. vcsh can be a little awkward to use because git commands need to be scoped to the vcsh project, but you get used to it. I like having separate git repos for separate roles (e.g., fish-

When you say Java's JIT, I presume you mean C2? I'd be curious to hear how it performs with Graal. If what you ran into was truly side effect free, either the OpenJDK or GraalVM teams would be interested in seeing your use case fo
