Yep 100% agreed. I worked out in the morning because "It's Monday, and Monday is a weekday, so that's why" is far more sustainable in the long term. Sometimes less thinking is better. This said, for many people with jobs

At a former company I used to work at, this is exactly how it worked. There was an area closed off in glass, literally called "the library". Though some of us called it the fishtank. Rules were clear. It was for focussed and quiet

Haven't tried PtE, may give it a go at some point. But just mentioning Paprika does indeed allow you to populate your shopping list from your meal plan, or from an individual recipe. I use this feature frequently.

I'd also recommend giving Paprika a try. In the grand scheme of things it's "expensive" if you are used to free apps, but a small percentage of a typical grocery cost. Whilst it has some UI quirks, you can tell its quite

Yep. I tried again a year or so later and it "just worked". Still one of my favourite games, even though it hasn't aged well. I suppose I could have invested time to diagnose the original issue (drivers, OS upgrades, etc). Bu

Interesting. In 2017 I purchased a game on Steam that was said to work on Linux (SW KOTOR 2). It didn't get past the initial splash screen. Contacted Steam support and they refunded without question. Would that experience have been dif

Second this. Whenever I'm looking up a review for a notebook, my default search term is "<model> notebookcheck" to see if they've done a review. The visual size comparison tool is also extremely handy for comparing

I've personally found that writing for myself is likely to increase my understanding of any given topic. That alone is enough motivation. It forces structure to my thoughts, and the consideration of minute details that otherwise would

I don't quite understand the argument here. Logging statements and "using a debugger" are not enemies of one another, with tribes of people in one camp versus the other. Logging, done well, will inform (1) exactly what versio

I voted in person. And what you're saying makes total sense, why would they validate if it's not required. As someone with a non-Anglo name of greater 16 characters in total, my instinct when asked for my name and address in an of

I suppose I've just gotten into the habit of showing my ID. It's not required. As someone with a non-Anglo name, at security/role/other checks etc where my exact name is required, it saves a lot of time versus spelling m

Yep exactly. I've ordered alcohol to be delivered, and they insist on validating. Imagine the lawsuits if a minor was able to order alcohol. But this is literally the only case I can remember in recent memory. (I don't often even

I was about to buy exactly this after reading reviews, wanting a compact phone, and my Note8 dying. But for a few different reasons I ended up just getting my wife an S22 (non plus) and then inherited her S20 (non plus), which has a very si

I believe that's precisely why the SG government choose to pay extremely well. They gain candidates with great credentials that otherwise will have gone to the private sector. Also, having well compensated staff makes the ranks less su

Interesting tool. Though I'm not sure KDB+ users will be happy with the name.

I'd wager that employers/corporates are precisely their target market with this sort of pricing.

Curious, are you on a laptop? If so, how much of a time investment was it to reach the point where you were no longer customising to reach parity with "batteries included" desktop environments (battery bar, sane sleep/wake-up

Warning: you're about to jump down a massive rabbit hole! If you want a standard keyboard, DAS and WASD offer some good options. If Ergonomics are important and you don't mind the learning curve, go for split. The Ergodox EZ is a

Very cool! Brought back old memories of the "Paddle War" in Commander Keen.

It's great, until it isnt. For small and simple documents (sub 20 pages), there's no better option. In my experience it starts to creak on large documents with multiple editors. I did a project many years ago where the key deliver

Reading this makes me yearn for paper/fountain again! But I think the convenience of Rocketbook scanning plus reusability has me hooked. At least for now. I recently found myself wanting to source some Japanese notebooks en-masse, as I

Yep, and there's no straightforward way to know if you missed a message by looking at a timestamp alone. If I receive a message at time "1" then time "3", how will I know I was meant to have seen something at time &

A lot of what you're writing rings true. That is, if one is rote copying or "offloading", you're less likely to retain or truly understand material. I can certainly relate. But on the other hand, concepts you're bui

Completely agree. Say what you will about Java (the language), the JVM is a seriously good piece of kit.

Great links. Whilst I'll admit a confirmation bias on my side, benchmarks aside, I'm pretty happy with my AMD X13. This is after literally 15 years of only purchasing Intel laptops - aside from thunderbolt, I dont feel like I&#x27

I had similar thoughts after purchasing my X13 AMD, not sure if you're experiencing the same thing I did. I was extremely disappointed with stock brightness when I first turned it on. Turned out windows power saving and battery setting

Yep, I once heard a quote: "rules and laws are like spiderwebs. They are sure to catch insects that cause trouble, but larger animals will just pass on through."
