The nonsense about how the flavour gets more complex over time is just that: nonsense. There's a video on YouTube where a hobby scientist takes a cup of water and doses it with an incredibly potent poison, a tiny fraction of which coul

What's wrong with that sentence? Phones are generally pretty horrific in my experience. Dog-shit usability compared to a desktop computer, massive brain-draining time-sinking cheap dopamine-spiking apps which add virtually zero value t

Sorry but forced sign-in is lame, especially one which is only revealed after the user has submitted their question. A CAPTCHA I could understand, but requiring an account for everything is a scourge of the modern internet. (Technically t

"Decoupling" is not a phrase I'd personally use to describe a benefit of React. Every React example I've seen is a horrific-looking mixture of JavaScript, XML, and HTML all muddled together into a nasty-looking component

Do you still have to pay $100 every year for the privilege of simply releasing an app? I took one look at that and thought "fuck this". If you're a hobbyist with zero interest in making money off your apps, then you get a gia

I'm having the same problem. I found this command on a random site[1] which improves it a bit: play -n -n --combine merge synth '24:00:00' brownnoise band -n 750 750 tremolo 50 1 If possible I'd like to replicat

Really cool command, although for some reason I find the brown noise it generates to sound harsher than the one from this website[1] for example. The command I'm using is `play -c 5 -n synth brown vol -20dB`. [1] https://myn

Why wouldn't you use a local branch (or something?) for your ugly commits and then merge everything from that branch into the main shared branch when you're done?

I've got a propane pizza oven which has some hot spots on the base. Could I use this tape to cover up some of the holes in the bottom gas pipe to reduce the amount of heat which hits the base?

I just want to know why they're all written in the most horrible typewriter-style font. They're written on computers now, right? So why not use a font that's easier on the eyes?

According to uMatrix, there's 7 third-party domains loading stuff just to display a simple blog article on this site. If your site can't load a page of text without multiple third-party domains, that's not good.

It's a shame uMatrix is no longer actively supported because it was the silver bullet for this kind of shit.

Does anyone know of any good vertical keyboards, like the Yogitype [1] or SafeType [2]? Or has anyone made custom vertical stands for any other split keyboards like the ErgodoxE? [1] https://i.imgur.com/dFhEFHL.png [2] htt

That's just patently untrue. There have been countless widespread stories of non-Apple devices failing, batteries exploding etc. Stop defending trillion dollar companies like they're your friends.
