I was using it a few years ago, but then I switched to Google Podcasts.

I will try it again, because Google Podcasts makes a "pop" sound notification every time it begins to download new episodes and it can't be turned off in the settings. It's very annoying.

A few years ago I tought myself enough in a few days to be able to chat with people on https://morsecode.me/

I've forgotten it almost all now.

I always thought it's absurd that people who don't even know what a loop is think they can become professional developers by going into a hip coding bootcamp for a few weeks, when people with years of experience can't get a job.

I've spent a few years unemployed after I quit my shitty job to focus on finishing my degree. I know it's hard to learn new things when you're depressed, but If I were you I would be reading C#/Java/MSSQL/Oracle books and doing example applications by following tutorials. You can find all the materials online, for free.

I really like the countdown timer, so I got the W-202-1AVEF.

I currently use Zim + Syncthing and Deck + Calendar on my private Nextcloud.

It's a really nice toy, but where I live I sadly can't afford it.

Maybe just give a hint that you have to DRAG the animals.

The symbols are very hard to make out when the animals are on them. If this is intentional, then cover them entirely.

When I first got an internet dial-up connection in Slovenia with Siol, there was an instruction manual included in the welcome package of how to set it up in OS/2. That's the only time I ever saw a screenshot of that system. I don't know if it was in English or Slovenian.

Well, the wars before that caused the whole science thing to happen in the first place because of military usfulness.

I'm working with the Delphi libraries every day in C++ Builder, bucause my company bet on Turbo C++ and Builder in the 90s, when Microsoft technologies seemed primitive compared to it.

At a recent meetup in my country, 90% of Delphi developers were over 60 years old. Also, Embarcadero licenses aren't cheap.

My biggest disappoinment is with NPR. They were shilling Helium on their recent podcast. Anderssen Horowitz was even cited as a source in their story.

It has a small picture-frame-like stand. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us7rKu5SgUI

Form over functionality.

He should keep his opinion to himself more. He hasn't yet accomplished anything significant in the world, so nobody really cares what he thinks about particular subjects. He comes off as pompous. I also don't like that he takes crypto seriously.

In Slovenia the most beautiful beach in my opinion is a designated FKK spot. I just go there clothed and so do 99% of other people. My feeling is that even topless sunbathing is slowly dying out.

Almost every beach has a remote FKK spot that is out of view.

You don't have to be drunk or high to have hallucinations.

I have tried self-hosting this with Docker a couple of weeks ago and it seems to work.

You point the client to your server by including the address in the .exe filename on Windows. Be careful: encryption is not enabled by default.

This is so impressive it acutally scares me.

I have actually implemented the quad-edge structure and the algorithms from this paper in Python for my undergraduate class.

The problem was when I tried to explain my professor how the thing actually works on an example. The abtract math is very heavy. I barely managed to pass the class.

I think that was the year I got my first dial-up Internet connection.

I used Frontpage to create my website and learned HTML by viewing the source code. I then used the command line Windows ftp to upload the web site to a 10MB server I got access to for free from the academic network of the primary school. Later I stole a bunch of MIDI-s, animated GIF-s and Javascript code from other websites.

I remember I was pulling my hair out because the images wouldn't transfer correctly. I didn't know I had to switch to binary mode.

Merkel said after 2008 that ALL countries in the EU must have surpluses. It was like saying all teams in the NBA must win.

Because you are not allowed to beggar-thy-neigbour in a common currency area.

If Germans are allowed to have a permament surplus, than someone MUST always have a deficit.

That's a good thing. They've been violating the Euro treaties by running a surplus against other countries in a common currency area, but no one dared to say a word.

Thanks! I must confess I've never heard of this game before.

The video-streaming community is turning into a freak show.

I've read about this guy yesterday and a few days before I saw a girl who has anorexia and is using it to build her fanbase.

Why can't someone create simple instructions of how to run this thing?

At our company we still use a MC68HC11 for an industrial device.

Which are broad index funds?

I put a tiny amount of my savings in a pharma ETF last year and got destroyed almost as much as crypto. I hope it recovers soon.

In Yugoslavia, there was a slogan in the 80's: "After Tito, Tito".

I just recently spun up 16 Linux VMs in Virtualbox to simulate industrial scales connecting to my desktop software using Python and performing measurements. I wrote several scripts to copy Python code to each machine with scp and control them using Bash with WSL2 on Windows.
