Some are worse than others. Every time I have to dis/re-assemble our IKEA bedframe, it's a struggle to figure out how the weird spinny locks work - which way to turn them, are they actually engaging? did I strip something? why don

> serverless is when you [...] don't keep a machine sitting around when there are no requests FTFY The key part of serverless is that you don't have a server idling around. Whether or not you use a hosted db is not relevant.

The proposed changes were "cuts". The reviewer said "remove these lines, we don't need them" not "can you clarify". So more like: Reviewer: I don't like this code - so we don't need it. Take it o

Agreed about the little things. The best thing I've done is put a floor lamp on a timer... which sounds really lame but was so nice since there wasn't a light switch or outlet switch in that room. I had it come on in the morning b

I have a 3-lack-stack for my printer, but no paver. It sways a bit when I print, but I haven't run into any major issues without it. I should get one. A foam mat was mandatory though; the hollow core lack turns the motor noise into a s

Funny, I always reason about the 3+ argument form... For example, what does ln -s foo bar baz do? Well it can't create a foo symlink that points to bar AND baz, but it could create multiple symlinks - bar and baz - that point to the fi

Neat! I just did a fast.com speed test with 3/4 bars of 4G and got 60 Mbps! I didn't do a speed test, but I spent the weekend in an area where I was getting 1 bar and probably 5 Mbps if that. 5G coverage even when poor, is optimal

I was confused about your comment at first - I was sure it was already a feature where you could use ```X to render the contents with a language. E.g. you could go ```java or ```javascript and get syntax highlighting for that language. What

I'd like to amend my statement: Technically YAML is (supposed to be) a superset of JSON - (almost) all valid JSON is valid YAML. So you could write all your configs in JSON and they'd (probably) work just fine (assuming you keep t

by rustyminnow 4y ago
Thanks! That's really interesting. You could mitigate some of the issues and get JSONs "strictness as a feature" by passing the document through e.g. `jq . $file` as a CI step, but I don't think that'd resolve the 1

I know this is besides your point, but in Firefox there is an option to turn the menu bar back on (at least until they remove the option :/). If you go to the "Customize Toolbar" page, on the bottom left where it says "T

I had my card taken that way five-ish years ago. It was on a ferry where presumably there wasn't enough service to use a digital reader. Or maybe the system was just down. I never knew that was an option until then!

You can do both! I run HA for the web gui, but I have a few shell scripts for more automated things. Actually, now that I'm looking at them, they call to an HA api to make changes. So you could run HA to provide a web API for things an

If you need to include/exclude multiple things, you can go `grep pat --exclude={foo,bar,baz}` which expands to: `grep pat --exclude=foo --exclude=bar --exclude=baz`. Much easier than typing out the flag multiple times

Different tools serve different purposes. Just because you wouldn't write a web browser/server/IDE/OS in a shell scripting language doesn't mean they don't have value or are failed paradigms. I've written

Hmm in the context of the article, I'm not so sure it's a good thing. Later on they mention that if this genetic trait gets passed on to males, they die. So along with hunting, males are doubly at risk. It may be advantageous for
