uv has a super power that it doesn't much talk about - seamlessly managing monorepos. I'd been using pants before, but it's such a pain to setup and maintain. uv just kinda works l…

The Seattle Aquarium is amazing, you should definitely give it a visit. It's not even that expensive. They have a little tide pool "petting zoo" with all sorts of cool critters wit…

Speechify is pretty good. You gotta pay to get the most out of it, but I use it enough to justify it. (Mostly for an egregiously long serial novel.) Sometimes there's jank, but the…

Orhan is quite different though - he's a braggart unreliably narrating his own story after most of the events have transpired. You can't believe his reluctance, it's a show he's pu…

I got hit by some privacy gamma radiation I wanna say 5 or 6 years ago. Did some research and they seemed like a good fit. I really liked the idea of being able write my own filter…

It's not digital only, I have a physical version. Whether or not you can get a card depends on your locality. Nevertheless, I don't understand why it's so much more inconvenient to…

Does the switch even have the capability to support a mictrotransaction focused shell game? The store is incredibly slow and obtuse, where these things rely a lot on smooth, fast t…

I wonder if you could get more reliable performance by planning a more centralized location. My book club uses the main jitsi site and it works well all things considered, but it's…

Yeah I typically buy 3 months worth of coffee at a time. I can barely tell the difference with my various pour overs.

You can also save like half the money by making that a hand grinder, and there's fewer parts to break. 30 seconds of mindless spinning really isn't much.

Netflix is doing a bunch of adaptations, which will naturally draw a bunch of renewed interest to the books. They probably wanted to avoid discourse criticizing the books when the …

> for die hard DF fans who know all hotkeys inside out there's little actual reason to switch to the Steam version They made the game so much more playable it's hard to understate.…

Donations. They have a patreon and have had paypal donations long before that with the occasional donation drive to pump up numbers.

I disagree, though it depends on the circumstances in which you're consuming them. If you're listening while you're doing something that is mentally engaging then of course it will…

Python's type hints are definitely an improvement and they're getting better all the time, but they're still frustrating to use at anything approaching the edge. I long for somethi…

There are DF overhaul mods that make it scifi. I think the big one is called The Long Night or something like that. DF has steam workshop integration so you might see it there soon…

Clanfolk, though it's more medieval than fantasy.

Switch: - Has a nearly unusable store front where discovery is basically impossible - Requires you to pay for online matchmaking, while having a worse online user experience than t…

One aspect is that if I go to apple.com on the day of the WWDC keynote, the stream for it will be front and center. If I'm going to the site to shop or access any of the other serv…

The idea that you shouldn't do a helpful thing just because it won't entirely solve the problem all by itself nuts. Even assuming that the estimation method used here is entirely w…

As an American, you should be against this. We've already got a perfectly good defensive treaty with them that would compel us to act. Tripwire troops are only necessary if you don…

I wouldn't be so sure. Taiwan is different in that they have TSMC which is definitely of extreme strategic interest to NATO.

Cost is almost entirely unrelated to why I prefer to use carry-ons. If it was only a matter of waiting at the destination, I probably would check my bags. But checking a bag comes …

Some people own multiple homes. Some people rent out those second homes. Some turn them into glorified hotels via AirBnB and the like. Some merely sit on them as an investment vehi…

Is there a good, real comparison of password managers for personal use out there somewhere? I've tried looking in the past and haven't found one that isn't just ads. I've been a lo…
