Pretty cool. Looks like there are some scaling issues though: https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/peugeot-5008-2017-s... Front side: the 5008 looks smaller even though it's taller. Rear side: the 50

The VPN websocket service (wss://relay.widgetry.org/) is probably overloaded. I sometimes get this error but not all the time. Both versions seem to use the same service. Related links: https://github.com/copy

Got very bad sleep and tried lots of stuff for many years with varying results. Ditching alcohol is definitely a good idea. At least don't drink too much and too soon before sleep (e.g. lunch is ok) Eat lightly in the evening, avoiding

Agree. > Today, when someone uses the term REST, they are nearly always discussing a JSON-based API using HTTP. Yup, this is exactly what I do. So what? Maybe that's incorrect naming but most people only care about being able to eas

I really like it too, will keep on testing. Small bug I found: use the "go" command (e.g. go reddit) close the newly opened tab (e.g. reddit) click "Learn more about me" click the top left icon (Andi) =&

You'd like my APIs, I keep defining DELETE endpoints with request bodies even though OpenAPI tools scream warnings at me :) Doing a POST on a /delete endpoint seem unnatural and I prefer serializing complex objects to JSON rather

Being interrupted with a question that forces you to flush all your brain caches and load up a different context is not the same as a nap or walk-induced interruption ;)

Made me want to give a shot at writing a custom bash completion script for an internal tool (having a lot of sub-sub-commands and many options, kind of like git). How hard could that be? Then I looked at git-completion.bash [1] and suddenly

Thanks for the tip. Just tried it. Looks nice but suffers from the same problem as Ubuntu 21.04: laggy with fractional scaling. But fractional scaling with Nvidia did not work at all before 21.04 so I guess there is progress.

Try a UHD + HD screen combo with fractional scaling an NVIDIA card and we'll talk ;) I tried every Ubuntu release for a few years and we're not there yet. 21.04-beta now almost works except that fractional scaling makes it unusabl

Yeah my colleagues have the approved AV forced onto them by the IT department and it seems to be much worse for them. Happily, sysadmins seem to have forgotten about me and I'm free to administer my laptop :D

Thanks, I hadn't heard about 8.3 filenames and it turns out they are activated on my laptop (somewhat recent Dell Latitude 5491). However, unlike the article you linked, I only have a C: drive and Windows won't let me change that

In French, we have an equivalent for "depreciate": déprécier. But we don't have a close relative for "deprecate" (which translates to "désapprouver, dénigrer" and would never be used for an API). We tend t

+1 for reducing caffeine intake. Some years ago I used to wake up in the middle of the night with extreme anxiety about ridiculously small problems. Cutting caffeine can definitely help (although it may also have an adverse effect on work e
