My pleasure, always glad to help /s. On a more serious note, yes, the layoffs are bad and I am sorry to hear about it, but when I see people in comments posting about their negative experience with the service , I feel like it's

Just skimming through the comments, there is some negative sentiment about Booking.com. So I came to say, that over the years, I've used Booking.com numerous times, without any single problem. Yes, there are dark patterns (13 people ar

12" Macbook form factor would be perfect. That thing was always slow with Intel, with M1 it would be super-compact, powerful computer.

I believe you can force low QoS processes to run only on E cores, but you cannot force high QoS processes to run exclusively on P cores. Even with high QoS set, you can find your process on E cores.

I guess some people can train their muscle memory quicker than others, as I've found myself to accommodate to changes in keyboard layouts quite fast. I also like the island-style keyboards on newer Thinkpads nicer to write on, clickier

This is the coolest project/product I've seen lately. Great idea to program the module via the website (+works offline!). For less ambitious hobbyist projects, there are USB type C decoy modules on Aliexpress for around $1 USD eac

Trust but verify, as they used to say around here pre-1989.

Was thinking the same. How do they know that they really are communists? Did they teach them to shout "death to capitalist pigs"? :) Jokes aside and looking at it from other perspective, perhaps they all really are communists? As

Oh Google Talk was sweet :) Also about Duo - even though I agree that it's kinda half-assed, strange interface app, it consistently has lower latency and better video quality than WhatsApp or Signal. I use it wherever my contact has it

Have to disagree here. Cloud apps (in a form of web apps) demand more CPU performance, not less! Apart from specialized apps that really do a lot of computing (rendering, modelling, model-training) that can easily be done in cloud, most app

Thank you for pointing out Tailscale. It seems like it's exactly what I was looking for, with free tier being completely sufficient. I set up smarthome network (zigbee2mqtt running on orangePi) and also endpoint in neighbouring country

I meet in person people I care about, and talk to them. We exchange our recent life experiences, or not, depending on context. I don't care what people I don't care about do. For documenting my experiences, I have photo album on m

I'd add there is a third category, "curious technology enthusiasts", that just like to read well-written article on some new topic. I personally am not "retro renderer enthusiast" nor have similar project, but this

Did a manual unfollow few years ago. Has been great experience since then - no facebook addiction anymore, instantly! For anyone wondering didn't I delete it altogether - I find facebook very useful once I can control how I use it. I c

Good read. A bit like the No Mercy, No Malice blog of Scott Galloway, but without the "No Malice" part. Having a family now I really seconded the part about relationships. It's easy and OK to spend a lot of time after work fo

That made me read a bit about the US water problem. But - why not take water from the Great Lakes?

In Japan, people that are sick wear masks, voluntarily, not to spread the infection. Well, that was my observation travelling Japan, anyway. I was amazed by it, and as the pandemic started last year, I had hopes that this thoughtful behavio

Just a bit of context, Poland, a nation of 38M, sees death count of 500-1000 per day during the last wave. It's likely the real number is higher than 1700 for such a huge nation as India.

I get why Signal's approach can be unpopular, but I don't understand the fascination with Telegram to be honest. Sure, the Android app is nice and fluid, but if I needed to use an app that is not e2e encrypted, I can use sms, or F

Pity. I personally wish there were more phones like that. But then again, I'd also like 3,5mm jack in 12 mini or 2020 SE. And USB-C. One can dream I guess.
