MrOxiMoron··on Generate Unicode Calendars for Markdown
On Firefox for android they don't render that great, the first row is misaligned and the day indicator is all over the place.
MrOxiMoron··on The worst volume control UI in the world (2017)
oxygenOs now by default always does media volume, you have to switch for ring tone volume. best change ever
MrOxiMoron··on Microsoft announces Windows 11
yeah, no... I know a hospital that just upgraded to Windows 7...
MrOxiMoron··on PostgreSQL EXPLAIN Output Explained
PEV is great, helped me figure out and fix specific query issues that only happened on production
MrOxiMoron··on Use native context menus on Mac OS
not searching closed issues is always bad, things that are fixed in a newer version or after long discussion are closed as won't fix won't be found either
MrOxiMoron··on You might as well timestamp it
except when it is actually a nullable Boolean and there is a big difference between the 3 states
MrOxiMoron··on All-new iMac features the M1 chip
I don't get it either, max 16gb? I want/need more.
MrOxiMoron··on How often do people copy and paste from Stack Overflow?
to be honest, I use my search engine of choice, yes stack overflow often comes up in the results, but also GitHub issues of people having a similar issue, often for other projects that use the same tools/libraries I do.

so I go to my search engine for answers, not stack overflow directly.

MrOxiMoron··on Judge in Google case disturbed that 'incognito' users are tracked
Fun story, if you have a Gmail account and share it with many people. Gmail won't like it people logging in from a lot of different places... except when in incognito mode, then you can login without issue.
MrOxiMoron··on Gitlab is moving to a three-tier product subscription model
ok, this might suck. We are on bronze right now and yes there where some things in silver that would have been nice to have it was never worth the costs per user to upgrade (especially because a lot of features already in bronze are not things we actually use or need), this might mean we either switch to free or abandon gitlab if there is an alternative.
MrOxiMoron··on Python Pip 20.3 Released with new resolver
Have to agree, and if it is truly internal why are you doing SSL?
MrOxiMoron··on Firefox 82
yeah, as long are containers aren't synced and available on android it's not really an option for me, it's nice I can isolate certain sites, but if it doesn't work everywhere it's a bit pointless for me.
MrOxiMoron··on Names.io – Global Exhaustive Scraped Name Db
the Netherlands has the reverse, we have last name prefixes (Van, De, Van Der, Van De, ...) which are separate and when sorting on last name they shouldn't be counted, because de V and D become very crowded then.
MrOxiMoron··on Celery 5.0
except that flower doesn't work with celery 5 at the moment :-(
MrOxiMoron··on My thoughts about editors in 2020
It's funny how people who know vim expect every other editor to have support for it's keybindings too, while I as a non vim user am expected to love and learn vim keybindings
MrOxiMoron··on Git commit accepts several message flags (-m) to allow multiline commits
my got foo is good enough that a GUI will only get in the way of what I want to do. But I never use the -m flag. Seeing the files that a I'm about to actually commit in my $EDITOR saved me a lot of headache because I forgot to add a file or added one that shouldn't have been. also really helps with writing extensive commit messages that actually describes the changes and why a certain solution was chosen. Was often grateful to my past self for writing down why I implemented it in a certain way and what other things I tried before that didn't work. Saved a lot of time retrying the same failed solutions
MrOxiMoron··on Workman Keyboard Layout (2010)
I don't use my computer for writing epic novels, I'm using it to play games (key placement doesn't matter) and programming. So how much easier/difference is there for programming in different languages? I know for a fact that PHP made the choice for the namespace separator based on availability on certain keyboard layouts.
MrOxiMoron··on Most detailed ever photograph of The Night Watch goes online
still remember the museum night me and my brother in law where one of the first people into the museum. we went to the nachtwacht right away and where able to view it without anyone else in the room for a long time.
MrOxiMoron··on Disney claims anyone using a Twitter hashtag is agreeing to their terms of use
can they prove I saw that tweet when I use that hashtag? Don't think so.
MrOxiMoron··on TablePlus – Modern, Native Tool for Database Management
I love TablePlus. Definitely worth it's money for me.
MrOxiMoron··on Giving every IPv6 address a name
whatever.has-a.name is the domain name they are suggesting you use, if you had your own you wouldn't need their service. So yes, you are basically giving them control that way. But for simple solution to temporarily get SSL to work on your container during development it's fine. But in that case a self signed certificate works too.
MrOxiMoron··on The latest version of Slack has a setting to disable the WYSIWYG editor
yes, but with the new one there are situations where you can't correct a mistake once you see it.

just start with a backtick escaped piece and then try to add extra text at the beginning of the line...

MrOxiMoron··on React Table is a “headless” UI library
I love this, I mostly do backend and the frontend work I do is usually making things like this so the frontend guy can just work on look and feel while I do the logic.
MrOxiMoron··on Personal and social information of 1.2B people discovered in data leak
once worked on a project that tried to do just that, but at the time the LinkedIn api was already limited to seeing the authenticated users connections connections, which was too limited for what we wanted to do, can only imagine it got worse. It's also the reason recruiters really want to connect to you on LinkedIn because even if you are not interested, your connections might be.
MrOxiMoron··on Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible
I just see we got the feature too, everything still works. can type the markup like before and it just works, even the triple backtick to end the codeblock. Also when pasting I get a popup asking me if I want to paste the literal text or apply formatting.
MrOxiMoron··on Using Firefox for a faster, calmer and distraction-free internet
yeah, that's the reason I stopped using them and switched to multiple profiles with syncing to different accounts.
MrOxiMoron··on Goodbye, Flash
IKEA still uses it for (some of) their planners
MrOxiMoron··on Migrating Russian eagles run up data roaming charges
That's a problem when your research subject eats the carriers for breakfast ;-)
MrOxiMoron··on I just lost my wallet on the way home from work
no, Gmail does check for that during registration. But you could use those two different email addresses to create two separate accounts somewhere else.
MrOxiMoron··on A fake town on Reddit where everybody knows your name
so it's a MUD on Reddit?
