Tried with a few snippets, mostly just got a JS alert "Не удалось создать задачу".

GDPR was never about cookies but about freely given consent.

Two things that make Utiq absolutely terrible (and imho illegal)

1. It's crazy that any person who is using my internet connection (guest wifi?) can give "consent" that leads to everyone else being tracked.

2. ISPs are abusing their highly privileged position. It's not easy to switch providers (if at all possible), so as "gatekeepers" they should behave responsibly (c.f. DMA designated Gatekeepers etc) and not abuse their power.

I'm sure you already made up your mind about heat pumps and that I can't convince you otherwise. But for other readers, let me add some thoughts to your points.

1) well, there's a grid. So as long as someone somewhere on your continent produces green energy it is viable and green.

2) arguable. Depends on your legislation.

3) Again, there's a grid. And even considering the worst case of no renewable sources at all: A heat pump (which uses 1kWh of electricity to provide 3-6kWh of heat) powered by a diesel generator is still more efficient than burning the diesel directly. Now add efficient combined cycle power plants, wind, biomass, hydro and battery storage systems...

Sounds cursed. But I'm not judging, given that I use nixos-anywhere[0] on an almost weekly basis.

There was a time that XPS meant something. I’m still holding on to my XPS 13 9360. It’s (even for today’s standards) lightweight and Linux compatibility has been perfect from day one.

What do you mean by regime? Last time I checked Germany was still a democratic country?

I agree that it’s probably not a big amount. But note that it can be potentially quiet a bit more than the 90$. Task runtimes are always rounded up to the nearest minute.

For example, in our pipeline we have 5 different linter tasks (for different subprojects), running each only a few seconds. Nonetheless, we’ll get billed for 5 minutes on every commit.

TIL.

+1 for .http files

Also, TIL that these are not IntelliJ-specific (that’s where I use them)

Now I'm wondering which of these extensions and strategies are employed by mainstream mail clients like Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook?

I'm currently doing remote work from a location with an instable connection. Naturally I expected mails to work well in an async fashion, but instead... everything is really janky and I'm always unsure whether actions like moving an mail to a different actually 'went through' without loosing any mails.

Wow. Disabling Transparency makes a huge difference on my iPhone 13 (sluggish, stuttering animations -> smooth af). Thanks!

May I ask where you got such a cheap VPS?

No offence, but "please don't do X" where X is favoured by the big majority of users AND has a broad scientific base sounds a bit... entitled?

IANAL - but when EU regulation and national law regarding civil rights conflict then the citizen has the "union set" of all guaranteed rights. Or in other words: A member state can grant additional civil rights (on top of the EU charta) but can't take them away.

Hot take: I prefer xlsx over CSV

I used to work on payment infrastructure and whenever a vendor offered us the choice between CSV and some other format we always opted for that other format (often xlsx). This sounds a bit weird, but when using xlsx and a good library for handling it, you never have to worry about encoding, escaping and number formatting.

This is one of these things that sound absolutely wrong from an engineering standpoint (xlsx is abhorrently complex on the inside), but works robustly in practice.

Slightly related: This was a German company, with EU and US payment providers. Also note that Microsoft Excel (and therefore a lot of other tools) produces "semicolon-separated values" files when started on a computer with the locale set to German...

Agreed, but but what would the right content type even be? Afaik there's no `text/tty` or `text/with-control-characters` etc. On the other hand, using the generic `application/octet-stream` seems unnecessarily vague?

> throughput of 2200 kWh

the physical dimension you're looking for is power (kW)

443 kWh / 5 minutes = 443 kWh * (1/12 h) = 5316kW

Honestly curious - Does anyone have a use case for this? I tried hard to figure out what this could be used for, but couldn't come up with anything.

I smell a business idea - selling prettier cases? After all, the dimensions are well known and even open source. Or not, no idea how much people spend on better looks.

"With your agreement, we and our *830* partners use cookies or similar technologies" - this must be some joke I fail to understand. What an absurd number.

Looking forward to try that. Let’s hope they can bring it to market.

This comment should be at the top. That list is pretty much the first thing I add to the Readme.md of any new project (that uses Postgresql).

Love the idea of focusing on speed. I used to have Todoist but the slugginess killed it for me.

Can confirm.
