I love that Epsilon is still live and kicking. I've only ever met one person who used it but he was truly at one with the editor and traversed a large complex codebase with ease.

I bought the Philips Evnia which fits perfectly into that category at 42". Despite being a gaming monitor it's not garish and I've grown to love the ambilight. https://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/42M2N8900_00&#

I've used a HHKB as my main keyboard for nearly 15 years and can't imagine myself switching. It just works so well and is still a joy to type on. I'm looking forward to getting a Framework laptop so I can remap the keys and f

My bin schedule is slightly complicated by it cycling between different recycling bins every 3 weeks. I think I'd need a bigger clock. Currently I have 3 recurring events in my calendar that remind me the night before.

Or a busybody (speaking from personal experience). About 18 months after me raising this issue and referencing both NCSC and NIST, the rules at the org I'm contracting with were changed. I have no idea whether my suggestion made any di

It's supported natively by Rails ActiveJob too! I only used it on one project years ago and it was a pleasure, dead easy to get up and running and rock solid.

Tig is simple by design and it has some features I find useful that magit doesn't have. 1. starts instantly 2. requires no plugins or config (or an entire editor/os!) 3. available in every distro's repo 4. lets me stage and u

I have cat6 running to every room. Because most things need ethernet, wouldn't fibre just mean having switches throughout the house? For example, I have some rooms with WiFi access points and things like scanners or Sonos speakers. Add

I only listen to ad free radio while driving. The thought that the tranquility of Radio 3 would be interrupted by an advert disgusts me. I would never buy a car that had this, no matter how smart it was.
