You’ve never worked across time zones have you? Actually I have, and then we all use GMT when communicating timestamps. But it's like another commenter mentions: yes, 'that commit from 2 hours ago' is still doable (though i

Honest question: what's up with the (2 hours ago) notation? I've seen this before in a couple of git-related and other applications but personally never understood why one would pick this over date/hour. Is this a cultural

Had roughly the same question - was actually a bit disappointed when seeing some products. There should be a reallybuyforyourwholelife.com :) I mean cast iron skillets are spot on, but I don't see most fridges, shoes or socks last a li

Too late to edit my other reply, but note that according to sibling comment from jlokier elsewhere, you will.

Yeah I see now other comments mention this as well; any idea if this has been changed then, or was the info I seem to recall having read wrong? (and is there another way to achieve it?)

"sleep(1)" means "sleep 16ms" You sure? According to e.g. the article it results in "sleep anywhere between 1 and 16mSec". But this illustrates part of the problem here: arguably problematic use of Sleep() wh

It shouldn’t be doing this, but it is In my opinion this still remains the conclusion, as it has been for the past decades. I cannot remember when I read a bit on Sleep() behavior and timeBeginPeriod() but I remember that what I read was

I think this is the main point in the article, no? I you're used to it and you don't regard it as a negative thing, it won't induce misery. Well, basically goes for a lot of things in life. Hard part is of course changing the

I feel the same. By now pretty everyone knows what 'Sign Up' means so it's as clear as can be. All the others are obfuscation - I especially dislike the one which gets a special mention: 'Start Drawing'. I'm no

weighing in at 45MB. That's the packed size though, which is indeed pretty small. Unpacked is 540mb which is roughly the same as mingw-w64 which comes with MSYS2, just with added make/boost etc. Installation is (a bit) simpler t

Not sure why you got downvoted (too off-topic? no idea), because this is imo actually a rather interesting point. And 'pretty well' feels like an understatement when it comes to performance (or at least snappiness): I have XP on a

Not 100% sure but with "wet sand" the author probably doesn't mean beach sand which just got moist from the sea, but rather so-called "quicksand" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksand )

Renewables don’t help with climate change. Germany has 50% renewables in its electricity mix and they’re one of the dirtiest producers of electricity. You're ignoring the other 50% to make broad general claims about the first 50% not

A base Linux system has relatively few services (just SSH in simple distributions) so to begin targeting Linux the same way you’d have to decide to go after RHEL or something Not sure why it shuold be REHL, there are linux counterparts fo

Or there is no such template by default, but DMT causes it to be created in a similar way across people taking it, and the differences in what people experience are filled in according to their personality/life/... Sorry, too busy

I really liked that idea, but at the time when I was looking for a new scale none of the mechanical ones I encountered had the combination of a resolution of 1g or less (I also use it to weigh beans for espresso) and also able to weigh up t

Wrt note taking for setting up software: I gave up on that in favor of a shell script for initial setup, and pretty much everything else is in Ansible. Works for almost everything, does take some work and sometimes needs updating. But also

You're not really wrong on many of your points, but you look at everything from a power user/developer mindset and that's too narrow of an approach, sorry. I.e. you should realize programming is not for everybody, not even cl

We've been running it like that for multiple desktop applications for years. So it's supported in the sense that it works but depending on what you do with it exactly it needs some boilerplate code which mostly means copy-pasting

Not really following the logic wrt predictability. I mean, you run it on a microcontroller so yes things can be interrupted. Just like in C. And while allocation not being allowed in an interrupt handler can be annoying, it's also pred

Few kilometres, amount of shade, amount of water in the soil, different type of soil, different history (e.g. used to be farmland or used to be forest) can all be reasons for different results. But yes definitely don't cut everything a
