The older entries for Baltics are wrong tho - new/old values are the same for both occupation of 1940 and restoration of independence in 1991. And same for Thailand / Siam, same in both entries.

But then the problem is changing configs means building a new release, and needs code push access. Pretty much every config variable has env override in my apps - allows project owner to poke about in web UI without bothering me for changes

Could it be that it's a US-specific thing? My last three phones have been EU-sold Samsung S series, and the only things I'd consider "third party bloat" were pre-installed versions of Facebook and MS Office, both easily

For me, the constant visual changes of new parts being streamed in are annoying, and straining on the eyes. Ideally, web frontends would honor `prefers-reduced-motion` and buffer the response when set.

One possibility - if you do regen braking as in one pedal driving, there is a lot less coasting to stop, and I imagine that is less stressful on the tires.

There might be some stretches of imagination there, but the base is solid - cuneiform writing was definitely formed by the medium (pressing a cut reed into clay).

I have a car with voice controls. That don't work if the overall UI is set to Latvian. And struggles with my accent when set to English. The climate control knobs have no problems with my language skills tho.

EU citizen - I love it. Couple clicks to tell a website not to profile me is nothing. You already are rejecting mailing lists and offers everywhere, what's one more thing. I don't get spam mailing lists or robocalls. I can safely

There's something I never see mentioned in this discussion: you can be flexible with what libraries/frameworks you pick, but you can also be flexible with what you build with those. If doing things exactly the way you envision inv

The street looks that way because up until now the speed limit was 50km/h, or about 30mph.

I'm using keepass, and the sync does not seem to be hassle - my file lives in dropbox, and it's always been synced before I open the app on another device. Bonus - backing up the database is as easy as copy-pasting a file.

Same boat. I'm also curious how does device sync happen with bitwarden - from a cursory glance it seems to rely on their cloud. Can you manually manage the database file, like with keepass?

Counter-anecdote: my brother is building a startup (cashflow forecasting tool, check out https://tailwindapp.eu/ ) on top of those banking APIs. Granted, he's spent many years in the industry, but as I understand, API a

I think you might be. For me, the bank website is where I pay the bills, review my cash flow, and manage investments / savings. Even if others could be replaced, I can't imagine going to a physical branch just to pay for my intern

Only for huge distances. I have mine connected directly to the BT of the mini pc I use to host HA.

Do you think it feels better on the other end because you are in a better place, or because it finally stops hurting?

by silversmith 3y ago
My philosophy with HA is not to touch it too much. I update only when there is some feature I absolutely need to have. And even when there is a new feature, give it a month or two to mature before using. I run a specific docker tag with aut

From the "I remember" I assume you lived through it. Were you per chance from "proper" soviet union, aka Moscow / Petrograd area? Because allegiance to the state and nothing else was the ideal in the "less corr

For me it's the visual component, especially the animated transitions that very neatly highlight the relation between various concepts or values. I learned most of the topics in those videos well enough to pass highschool/universi

Dacia already has a 20k EUR electric model - Spring. Sure, the equivalent ICE Stepway is 14k, but it's not all Tesla pricing levels.

I knew this before, as a fact like any other. Now that I've recently become a parent, it's... it's shocking. The idea of handing someone that young and helpless off to strangers raises a strong "NO!" reaction, right

Sometimes, write-only languages are okay. Landing pages, marketing materials that will be gone soon. Tailwind shines there. Web apps, not as much.

Modern AI works by maximizing the correctness score of an answer. That's the goal. It does not maximize its chances of survival. It does not maximize the count of its offspring. Just the correctness score. We have taught these systems

The thing is, it's always confident. It gave you the highest confidence answer, out of many high confidence answers. Low confidence would imply the model has not seen the particular words before. A Markov chain does not suffer from imp

I currently have an old windows tablet on the wall, with fullscreen browser running and connected to a charger 24/7 - the power drain amounts to less than 10EUR a year. I'm looking into turning off the screen based on motion senso

This sounds good in theory, and props to you for making it work. But I tried, and gave up. I still have some basic light automations, like turning everything off when everyone is away, but most of the lights are back to manual control. For
