That's very helpful, thanks! The KOreader UI is... Rough. Love all the options, especially the ability to use folders on the device storage as the primary way to organize my books,…

The irony is not lost on me!

Is there a particular structure to it, or just whatever is at the top of your mind?

What are the odds of this passing successfully? A grim day for 3D printing if so.

Was not expecting anything terribly useful from this with such a generic title, was pleasantly surprised.

We abrogated getting traffic to our websites to Google long ago. Mostly because Google was so good at it that the alternatives became significantly less useful. Now that Google is …

That is a pretty strong argument for Go!

AI has made my work about 5-8x quicker, just because I'm able to have it cover a lot of the grunt work (update 42 if statements in 32 different files) that took time, but no partic…

The problem is running a SaaS product costs a lot of money. Mega corps can fund that, but even large numbers of devs on small budgets don't have the money to do the same. So any co…

I think that's incredibly optimistic to the point of unrealism. Github, outages and all, is a known commodity with a reputation they can make money off of. Any replacement would ha…

Github is an ecosystem and its biggest moat is the number of people that use it. To make a replacement, not only do you have to improve on support for every major use case at a tec…

I love bonsai, but it'd be nice if one could start a bonsai tree that looks like a mature tree in miniature without spending decades on the process. Is there anything that is fast …

As far as I can tell, YKK has quality tiers now where not all YKK zippers are created equal. Rather unfortunate.

"It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste LLM stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it."

I picked up a Crumpler Brazillion Dollar Home bag about a decade back to carry all my photography gear, as there were no other bags on the market that would allow you to pack a lar…

It's not so much the owner's financial situation, but rather that it'd be cheaper to build new homes than to retrofit a ten floor+ building's plumbing. You'd also have to install a…

Yeah, good luck with that. I'm sure he'll follow up with bailing the ocean.

As far as I can tell, this submission is just an ad.

Funny how it sounds when you go to the logical conclusion of that statement - "Consumers should be forced to pay the highest prices possible for cars."

You guys are treating dev machines as trusted?

Commercial buildings can't be easily converted into housing - notably, plumbing is not designed for smaller units and can't be retrofitted.
