I always found discoverability of vim commands really poor and this game really helped me. In practice mode you can see an optimal solution to the problems which helped me to inter…

TIL there are two units of measurement that are both called ton but confusingly are not the same as a ton. One is a tiny bit more than a ton (1.016 tons) and one is a bit less (0.9…

Cool idea! Unfortunately the terminal doesn't really work when using fish shell. The prompt is always stuck at the top. Also the "artificial" notch is larger than the physical notc…

This sounds exactly like what I want! Alas, no Android app it seems, anyone aware of apps that do the same and are available for web or Android?

I see a lot of negative comments in this thread about Sonos in general, which is interesting to me because I'm currently thinking about buying Sonos speakers. What exactly don't yo…

In Switzerland we mostly use the format 12'345'678.901 Obviously I'm biased but I think it's the best system because there's no room for confusion.

I used to run NixOS on my main computer for a few months until I encountered some situation that I couldn't resolve using my nix skills. I think I needed to run some software that …

I use nix on my laptop because it's absolutely brilliant when it works. To me it's a fascinating technology. Being able to easily use different versions of some tool in two differe…
