That is very negative and assumes the worst about OP. He created something and shared it with the world. It's not to your taste and that's fine. But don't knock someone down for having a red hot go at something.

Re hallucinating APIs that don't exist - I find this with Golang sometimes. I wonder if it's because the training data doesn't just consist of all the docs and source code, but potentially feature proposals that never made it

For music, Navidrome is superior. It is just crazy how easy it is to set this stuff up nowadays. I run both Navidrome and Jellyfin in docker containers. Then I use NordVPN Meshnet to securely connect to them outside of the home. The experie

Massive Garfield fan growing up. Garfield minus Garfield is still just as eerie and depressing despite knowing the "source material". I love it.

Seems like everyone loves to hate Ubuntu lately. From the Amazon search icon years ago, to Snaps, Mir, "pro" updates (which I don't get the backlash about..). But man, I started using this distro 18 years ago? And I still use

I ride a private escooter but really detest these rental ones, based on the experience in Melbourne. We'll be banning them too soon. Private scooters are a thoughtful purchase. Riding them is a thoughtful decision. Most people riding t

Reminds me of an excerpt from the book The Body Keeps The Score: When the alarm bell of the emotional brain keeps signaling that you are in danger, no amount of insight will silence it. I am reminded of the comedy in which a seven-time rec

I bought a roll of red brake-light tape off Amazon when my daughter was born. Covered every little light in the house. Highly recommended!

Agreed. Dead simple, supported local files, and you could upload your own music collection. YT Music is absolute garbage for anyone who cares about music. It's impossible to manage a library.

My understanding was that the regulations applied to a normal wash cycle, but that they don't prevent dishwashers from having additional modes that use more water/energy for a faster clean. My Bosch dishwasher is only a few years

When I joined my company, I was introduced to this dev who'd been there since the start. His English wasn't great. His Javascript wasn't "modern" - he kept using callbacks etc. He often poo-poohed ideas the younger

Similarly, it really irks me how little privacy there is at the chemist/pharmacist/drugstore (listing all synonyms for an international audience). If I have any questions, they're at the counter with 20 other patrons hearing

I'm really glad they've introduced this, I just wish it also had the traditional formatting methods, eg Infof, Debugf, Errorf, etc, for backwards compatibility. I've got a few packages that accept a basic logger interface, eg

That's why I appreciate starting strength. It's a novice program and the gains come fairly quickly and easily. Rippetoe himself in Practical Programming makes the point that after the novice phase, you need to assess what your goa

Yeah I actually appreciated how easy it was to create daemons with Upstart. I had no problem with it, I just remember a lot of people pissed off that Canonical wrote their own init service instead of using systemd (which they eventually mov

Sorry, as advised by "The Fitness Wiki" ? Starting Strength remains the absolute best way for a novice to gain general-purpose strength.

How are you squatting? Technique is really important. I recommend watching some videos by Mark Rippetoe [1], and also filming your squats to review them. The low-bar back squat is a hip-dominant exercise, and when done properly should not p

One of the best things I ever did was get strong through a basic barbell training program called Starting Strength. Squat, deadlift, overhead press, bench press, chinups, eat, sleep. It really is that easy. Highly recommend it for anyone in

A lot of Ubuntu hate, and I totally understand why. We all remember Mir and Upstart. And now Snap. So if this bothers you, by all means look elsewhere. On the other hand... I've used Ubuntu desktop consistently for about 15 years now.

Like the Light Phone, I really love the idea . But, even as someone who doesn't use social media, my whole life has become reconfigured around my smartphone. Yes there are negatives - the endless distractions - but it's just too

Couldn't agree more. I don't use social media because I think it's a net negative in my life. However YouTube I've always justified by following lots of educational content. I've learned a lot of cool things and gai

One time I received a call from my mobile provider, offering me a free upgrade. I thought I was very smart and sophisticated, and rudely demanded information - "oh yeah? what's your name mr SCAM CALLER!" I also wanted a sessi

I went to one in Japan and loved it. I didn't care that it was cringey faux-Australiana. They had like 20 different types of grilled meat - I was in heaven!

As an Australian, the first time I ever heard of Outback Steakhouse was in Japan. I've never seen one, or heard anyone talk about Outback Steakhouse in Australia. The locations you linked are nearly all in one state - New South Wales,

I know this isn't exactly on topic. I haven't played video games since I was a teenager, but I'm struck by how cheap consoles are now! I remember the Xbox and Playstation being prohibitively expensive. I just looked it up, th

When we had our newborn we were surprised to find that many of the expensive infrared thermometers can be quite inaccurate compared to a simple $10 probe thermometer you stick under an armpit. My mother-in-law is a nurse and they all use th

Really glad to see some of these new packages (sort, map, etc) making use of generics. Should reduce the need for a lot of helper functions. Also really excited to see loop capture variables finally getting sorted out. It is a constant pain

I occasionally take a quick <15m nap after lunch. What's interesting is that I don't fall fully asleep - I'm more in a halfway (hypnagogic) state. I'm kind of drifting between states of consciousness. I'm _mostly
