The versioning was indeed a bit of a pain, also anything with dynamic input. I was pretty proud of a solution where we could feed a web CMS that had a flash and a html version with the same editable text fields. IIRC you could grab the inpu

I think you simply can't predict any number without really measuring it. Ryzen + GPU + 1h of gaming, but 3 screens attached. still a "desktop computer" - stuff in the browser can spike GPU wattage, but I don't think it

I don't remember ever having external accessory issues, I don't use a track pad, battery life is fine (although I will admit macs seem to do better) and the ZFS one is just odd. Literally first time I hear this because while it su

So 3h of sitting on the floor because there's no seat after a canceled one? I mean yes, better than no transport, but it's ridiculous. And if you have an appointment in the morning, 2h of delay are a deal breaker.

I would agree if I booted the preinstalled Windows even once and not install Linux the minute it arrives. Like, no, we should absolutely not forget that, but the impact for me is low, and I prefer to have the superior hardware.

Not sure. It's not it being unstable, it's small bricks moving bigger stuff to the side and maybe even upward. If I missed the joke I just don't find it funny.

The most ridiculous thing is that you were simply able to move the taskbar in Win 10 for sure, in Win7 kinda sure and maybe longer... I still don't get why they thought removing this harmless feature would make sense.

I get your point and it's certainly and interesting one. But my point was less "oh my, this is unbelievable" but more a question of how much impact it has on everyday life. Again (like in the other thread) quoting Wikipeda, I

Yes, but my experience tells me that you'll interact (on a level where timezones matter) much more with people in your country than in others - and this has nothing to do with small states vs big provinces, I don't know enough abo

I know it's big (I've just not seen it myself), but also it's only 5m people in BC if I can believe Wikipedia. That's like a big city. Maybe that actually makes it less of a problem though, we simply don't know :)

I'm thinking more 'companies in the same country working together' - physical distance does not really matter, imho. Many countries span 1000km and unless traveling in person you don't care if it's east-west or nort

Same here - all the German banks I know of the phone app is mostly for 2FA, but you can also use it for banking, if you like. In my case it's also the 2FA for credit card usage (as I have the visa/mc via my bank), not only bank tr

Ignoring the fact itself, doing this in a single province and not the whole country is the really wild thing for me (as a European). I have opinions about DST but having it different per German state sounds much more horrible than anything

> Does it last more than 2 years? I originally didn't want to comment out of personal spite... but I once bought a motorola phone that got its last update (security or not) 23 months after launch. They're on my shit list now.

I live in a European city and I just used Google Maps to roughly measure the distance between the bus stops on the two lines I often use: 350, 350, 300, 250 650, 250, 300, 300, 350 It's fine. But we do have proper sidewalks between tho

Yes, I just felt I had to specify further besides "I encountered problems that didn't seem to be inherent problems" but "no problems" would have been dishonest.

Isn't this exactly what `ignore-scripts=true` in your .npmrc should be avoiding with npm 11? Although I am still not 100% sure if it would work in `~/.npmrc` for external packages...

I've been syncing my kdbx files with syncthing for many years and I have had a couple of inexplicable conflicts. Most probable reason would be that I ended up editing on the wrong machine while being offline or having it open on anothe

Which would prevent prevent people from snapping 1-2 pictures per band in a 4h concert, which I would kinda not like. Maybe it would improve the experience enough though, or you'd have to move to the bar area and take your one pic ther
