Address validation is the biggest piece of automation that needs to stop. You're not going to stop people from misentering addresses, and many countries have terrible validation or streets that don't exist yet take forever to show

I really like their font on my MacBook. The other one I use on my desktop is the Dejavu sans mono nerdfont or whatever it is called, it's the nicest looking "normal" font I've found that I like on 1440p on Linux.

One fun project I did a while ago was reverse engineering one of the games from my teens, Runescape 2 (now called Old School Runscape, where the game is a backup from August 2007 with many updates since then). There is a huge interest in th

This is why I like slack. I work with people across the globe, so they want to message me without fear that I'll be notified at 2am. Slack won't send you a notification after hours, unless the person presses "Notify anyway?&q

Awesome! I sometimes search across very niche projects on Github, where their codesearch doesn't show the results I want. I KNOW that the result exists, and can see it in the repository, but their codesearch doesn't show the resul

I also love the excuse for the last 3 years for anyone who made massive f'ups. "The last few years have been unprecedented times".

Wireguard isn't a chatty protocol, and uses very minimal. You can use it on a spotty connection and your internet will go through that.

Wireguard is absolutely fantastic for a small network, when you know what you're doing. It's dead easy to setup and configure, you forward some ports, and boom you have a shared network. I couldn't believe how easy it is to c

Also the opposite end, with many CPU cores/threads such as the threadripper (2990wx, which is 32c/64 threads). It doesn't work under Windows 10 well at all, even with crazy hacks like coreprio https://bitsum.com&#x

Rust is a hard language to learn, but once I got over the initial hump of learning all the things that don't exist in higher languages/that I've forgotten about it's a great language. The best thing I did was start doing

I fooled around with this for a weekend, learnt a lot about qemu and friends. So there is this: https://blogs.blackberry.com/en/2021/05/strong-arming-with-m... And there is also work around getting iOS to boo

Except try and go and search for "google chrome" on a fresh windows 10/11 machine and see how much they beg you to please not switch.

It's also a power issue. The 4090 sounds like you're going to need a much, MUCH higher PSU than you currently use.. or it'll suddenly turn off as it uses 2-3x the power. You'll need your own wiring to run your PC soon :-

I really want to love Tabine. I really, really do. I gave it a fair chance, let it index my private personal projects, ran it on my personal machine to see how it worked. The results are... not great. I'm using IntelliJ, and Tabnine is

Mold is absolutely invaluable for building projects on Linux with Rust, so I'm super excited that work is being done to make it work with Mac.

Best thing reddit did to break my use of them: 1/ New UI, forcing people on to old.reddit.com 2/ Mobile pushes HARD for their app, which is pretty buggy on Android from what I can tell 3/ old.reddit.com now shows "other

Yep, they saw no real backlash to doing this for the Python one, then decided to do it here as well.

It's also the lack of communication and dealing with support is not great.

I really like the concept of [Playpass]( https://play.google.com/intl/en_au/about/play-pass/ ), for Android, it gives you a tonne of really good games that aren't pay to win, have offline support and

Yes, to get access to their repositories you have to be granted access. It's source available, not opensource.

JetBrains has it figured out, IMHO: 1/ Offer licenses to students, or community editions to get people hooked 2/ Professionals hired at a company want to use this, now they're use to it and have their workflow covered. Plus p
