All datasheets should be uploaded to libgen or similar platforms so that they're always accessible to anyone needing them.

Mushroom can eat and decompose mostly everything. That's their role in the carbon based life ecosystems.

I strongly suggest reading Paul Stamets' books. Mushrooms are fascinating.

I just replaced all my blinds with Somfy motors as well (project of last weekend).

My plan is to do something similar except I plan to use a small board with a small microcontroller (probably a STM8) to send the radio frames to the motor controllers.

It feels great to have a full home automation system that doesn't rely on any cloud technology. It's more secure and I'm sure that no product will lock me out of usage when they EOL.

I use an old IBM laptop with only a pointing stick (the red nipple in the middle of the keyboard).

I don't mind having to move my mouse to the scrollbar and drag it to scroll documents or webpages (when I can't use the keyboard for that already).

This was fine until a few years ago when scrollbars starting to hide or become super thin. I should not have to concentrate to be able to target scrollbars with my cursor.

If you're working on UX/UI design, please remember that not everyone has or uses a scrollwheel on their mice.

I'm the same. When I was in high school, I couldn't afford a Das Keyboard. So I spray painted my keyboard so that I could get the same effect. I'm still using that keyword 16 years later and all my subsequent keyboards were all with blank caps.

I've heard multiple similar stories (in Europe) with non subsidized tenants.

Being disrespectful is not probably not correlated with being poor or not.

I'm very saddened by the news.

To me couchsurfing was not only about hosting people to my place (which I hope I can continue doing after the pandemic) but also about their events.

The weeks I couldn't or didn't feel like hosting strangers to my place, I could still meet random foreigners in bars or outside.

My city had 3 weekly events in addition to random theme events, from board game nights and sport activities to cooking classes.

I'm doing something similar on my Pixel 2.

In the end I have very few apps that send personal data to ad companies (I've blocked as many ad and tracker networks as I could), and I've prevented most apps from showing me notifications unless I really want them.

You'd be surprised how much battery you save with all those things disabled.

I've also used Myers-Briggs quite a lot in my 20s as well.

It helped me a lot to understand why and how some people function differently than others. Instead of thinking "this guy is an asshole", I began to think "I understand this guy does not behave correctly when dealing with this kind of stress" and I could improve the way I communicate with different types of people quite a lot.

I've been switching back and forth between two providers for the last 5 years, and I've always wondered now that I'm back to my first provider if calls/texts to me go directly to A, or go A->B->A->B->A.

It's like what's happening all over the French news all the time: you get told people are going on strike and on demonstrations, but you're never told why they're doing it anymore.

My company has no investors. The first years were a bit hard revenue wise. The first engineers were paid a lot more than myself and the other cofounders until we got proper traction. Never had any issue with that.

Also very happily self hosting bitwarden.

Bitwarden is using Microsoft technologies. If running a MSSQL server is too much for you, you can use alternative servers which are fully compatible with the official clients:

Haha, I thought the same thing.

I've published a few apps that run the same platform on different countries with different branding (name, logo, theme, etc.)

I had to restrict each of them to their own country (i.e. preventing German users from reaching the French app), otherwise during the app-store submission reviews, the reviewer would reject us because according to them the app being reviewed is a ripoff of the other apps of the same account.

It's like:

    Your app "Gmail UK" is a ripoff of another app of the store: "Gmail US".

Fun times.

I threw away the finger technique, and now I use an instant thermal probe. Works 100% of the time.

+1 for the beurre, but don't forget to buy more for the sauce! It's all about the sauce.

When I tried Ubuntu a few years ago, I was very irritated by the fact that many apps did not work with the keyboard at all. It was mouse or nothing (except for text fields).

I look forward to testing it.

I was using the ruby version, but I didn't know a rust one existed as well.

Rosalind is a good platform to learn a new language. Not the best to discover the most advanced features, but enough to ensure you know your structures and algorithms.

We had one connected vending machine in the building. Its credit database was on a remote server, so such hacks would not work.

However, if you unplugged its ethernet connector and buy something, then somehow your would get your food/drinks and your transaction was stored into a buffer until the machine went online again.

That buffer being in volatile memory, unplugging the power cord of the machine was enough for it to forget you ever bought something.

Water only. No broth, no tea, just plain water.

It's pretty obvious when you do long fasts. Every time I fast for more than I week, I lose several kilos doing nothing, not going to the bathroom even once except to pee.

Same here.

I wish it was open sourced. That way we could fix the bugs and make sure it runs on newer operating systems.

Don't forget neercs!

It has the most useful feature of all: a rotating 3D cube.

Emoji is the new punctuation.

Have you tried Vivaldi? It's supposed to be from the original team of Opera. Also based on Chromium, but at least not a clone of Chrome.

Regardless of whether micro-modules are good or bad, I think that if you are the owner/manager of a project, you should be able, given its full flat list of dependencies, to explain why each one of them is useful for you.

Every project I've seen that uses npm always required 100s or 1000s of dependencies.

If building or running your project requires something and you can't explain why, I think there's a problem.

That reminds me of that time where I imported the nightly dump of a database TWICE into the same server.

Dropping an entire database brings problems, having duplicate content and deleted content coming back bring a whole new realm of others good times.

Consider using core OS tools (wget/fetch, tar, etc.) versus the dependency tree required to run git on your system. Do you need curl? Do you need perl? Do you need a XML parser and a regex runtime engine?
