I think direnv already does a good job in this space, and it's already available in your package manager. https://direnv.net/

I've never heard that word, perhaps it's more of an American expression? In the UK we'd probably say bittersweet.

MySQL has (or at least had) --i-am-a-dummy-mode which means you have to specify the rows or include a limit. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-tips.html#safe...

But it's frustrating that search engines are able to index the whole page, so things I don't have access to are listed in search results and I can only find out when I've clicked.

It's amazing, thank you. I really struggled without mouse inversion but got there in the end.

Bamboozle and Digitiser were fantastic, we visited most days.

They were with Virgin Media and the calls came from UK-looking non withheld numbers, so it wasn't particularly useful. BT and Sky's offerings look better, but you'd hope this kind of thing was part of the default offering.

My parents' home phone used to receive several scam calls a week from India. There was no way to stop them short of giving up the landline, which is what I did. I can't believe phone companies (in the UK) don't provide better

With the shift from CD to streaming I'd strongly suspect most people just use a smart speaker setup. I fall into that category too with Sonos. The speakers were relatively expensive but now they're not the latest model I bet they

Who other than enthusiasts even wants a stereo or dedicated camera now? And I'd expect enthusiasts are less likely to knowingly buy stolen. I'm sure, however, there's still massive trade in some kinds of stolen items like pow

I just don't have very much that's worth stealing now compared to the 80s/90s. Back then (in the UK) TVs, stereos, computers and VCRs were all expensive and in demand. You'd hear about burglars targeting them. Now those

I think my problem was that I used Beets to organise my mp3s a long time ago - maybe 2011. It didn't write the ReleaseGroup because that might not have been present for all albums on MusicBrainz at the time. It still did a great job an

Jellyfin wasn't happy with my music library either until I realised wanted the ReleaseGroup field to be set. I set Picard to work and an hour later it imported perfectly.

I write SQL every working day and do it all in lower case. There's a flawed argument that capitalised keywords make them stand out but I leave that to my editor.

Apple are showing you the error of your ways. Take heed and stop using shouty cruise control! :)

On the HHKB Caps Lock can be activated with a key combination, but there's no dedicated key. What requires more than a few consecutive capital letters these days?

by petepete 3y ago
Also note the correct position of CTRL. Why it's only the HHKB that gets it right today is beyond me. Caps Lock has no right to be on a modern keyboard.

Also this anecdote is from 2006, nearly twenty years ago. It definitely wasn't popular then and now is only likely in certain types of establishment (probably places that do deliveries).

Not paying the licence fee seems to be a thing to boast about here. It's such good value for money - worth paying for Radio 4 alone. My brother also wasn't a BBC fan until he had kids and realised how much better their content was

Don't. The benefits far outweigh the costs until you reach enormous scale.

If you set your language to 'English (World)' during the install, none of the crapware is installed. Or at least it wasn't last year when I installed W11 (I still occasionally need Affinity Photo and Capture One). Microsoft m
