To me you talk at what I would consider "1.2x" of podcast speed (which to me is a decent average measure of spoken word speed - I usually do 1.5x on all podcasts). You're definitely still in the normal distribution for tech Y

"Echan" = "empty channel" - IRC slang for joining a channel, seeing no recent activity, and immediately leaving. It's considered bad etiquette because IRC channels are often quiet but still active - you're supp

Are there options to see the current state of the repo? What I mean is, for example, I like that in VS Code I instantly know the current state because the git sidebar icon shows a notification of uncommitted changes. If I don't have a

It would be neat if premium features could be attached to a group message without all contributors being required to purchase. Sort of like apples new events app which requires iCloud+ to schedule events but anyone can attend. Side note, yo

For this reason, maybe a handyman / jack-of-all-trades will have less wear and tear on their body? Diversity in tasks could mean a week of concrete followed by a week of cabinets, then a day or two of building a staircase, three hours

I agree with you - situational awareness is what keeps us safe, and not engaging with poor drivers but rather creating distance. for braking, I use engine braking at stop lights, and can easily slow down almost all of the way without any br

this is definitely a big part of it. in the past, cars were either small with tiny engines or big "boats" with massive engines and super soft suspension. those old suspensions weren't really about control - they were for comf

I assume the UniFi NAS isn't meant for running Plex, for example. Most people seem to want a general purpose mixed media server, which can handle a bunch of data but where a good chunk of that data is movies/music/books that

I've communicated the 'meeting' thing, but now the way it goes is: barge in > are you in a meeting? No matter what I was previously doing, now I'm distracted... if anything, it's easier to re-focus during a mee

Same here. My two biggest hurdles are: 1. like you mentioned, the second I start talking about something, I totally forget where I'm going, have to pause, it's like my thoughts aren't coming to me. Probably some sort of menta

For some reason I don't hear anything in Safari on macOS. I tried disabling all of my browser-based content blockers. I see the 'audio playing' icon but I don't hear anything.

I'm not sure. I keep thinking about this, and the only conclusion I can come to is that businesses would still need to be able to advertise their own products in places that they own. For example, what if I want to buy a guitar? I&#x27

While I usually detest giant footers, this is one use-case they lend benefit to, without causing a large empty space (which some people would then want to fill with an image). I agree from a UX perspective that I prefer when sites act the w

Once I got over my fear of clicking their links, which I assumed would open a new page (but instead just expanded a pane in-line), I really enjoyed it. I’m very wary of opening new pages. (Also, I first tried to hold-click on the link to op

I think it all depends on finding a group of people who share the same goal of making something great together. One person who isn’t interested in that goal can be insidious to a self-managed team. And getting everyone involved means having

Not only can Tailscale directly integrate with NextDNS and therefore not require extra configuration on-device for DNS, but you can use Tailscale ACLs to assign different NextDNS profiles to different devices (for example, a parental contro

Feels a bit chicken-and-egg - if I live in, say, Brazil, and I know that there isn't a great market for good devs here, will I put in the effort to become a good dev? If I really have a passion for dev work, will I try to move or work

To be fair, Esperanto is, as far as I can tell, not very widely used. The letter ĝ mostly returns Esperanto results. Using that letter in a place where others may need to communicate or type the letter would be a severe burden on almost any

Maybe a new paradigm for code formatting could be local-only. Your editor automatically formats files the way you like to see them, and then de-formats back to match the codebase when pushing, making your changes match the codebase style.

I was using a similar extension which whitelisted / blacklisted IP addresses in Chrome. I had it set to blacklist my home IP, which I paired with an in-browser VPN app. Since Chrome's latest extension update (about 3 weeks now?),
