you can also flip these keyboard shortcuts around, which I did for the cmd-shift-4, as I almost always want it to the clipboard without persisting as a file

Wasn't this a MacBook feature at one point? That behavior sounds quite familiar to me.

Berlin is also super unevenly populated and includes several forests. If you compare the density of the actually populated areas, like Mitte, you are still under Manhattan, sure, b…

I'm the OP of the DBA StackExchange post, and while yes, it does technically work in this case, you do lose some abilities. For one, its much harder to `count(*)` rows with `DISTIN…

L4 and L5 are stable (see Jupiter's asteroid collection), but the others involve essentially trying to balance on a infinitesimal pinpoint, with any perturbation causing one to "fa…

Sure, but automating this requires a lot more tooling. In the case described with multiple, widely spread instances, you'll need to be able to a) Reliably determine which step you …

The sticky part is the social network effect. Its by FAR the dominant messaging app in much/most of Europe. Some switch to Signal/others has occurred... but if you have _one_ frien…

It probably does actually mean "File Transfer Protocol". Its not uncommon (or wasn't at least) to find workflows that rely on data files of a specific format (to varying degrees) b…

I'm curious to see how this compares in real life to TimescaleDB hypertables with compression - which to me, reads as much the same thing. I'm wondering if Citus is bringing a lowe…

Not defending/attacking the phrase "disastrously bad", but I'm not sure its a fair argument to say "the docs explain it", if the behavior isn't what a "reasonable" person would exp…

Did the toolchain you were working on support both GCC and Clang? I ask because I was recently trying to work on a ESP32 project in vim and got stuck hard on YouCompleteMe only usi…

I was under the impression from reading the patch comments [1] that it was more of an issue with them not having an open copy of their ISA documentation (which then is causing a la…

Usually acetone doesn't work so well on the PLA the author is printing the keycaps in. There are other sprays or things you can apply to PLA for a good effect though - I'm betting …

No, not really. Filtering out atmosphere isn't that hard for some (most?) spectra that we care about. The benefits of a bigger mirror are more about resolution than signal quality.…

If this strategy works to encourage people to accidentally consume fewer calories, isn't that good enough? I don't think this was about the mechanism about the weight loss, but mer…

Rocket Lab uses an engine that is mostly made by 3d printing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_(rocket_engine) (Not as one piece though)

Personally, I've had a varied experience here. In one company, I explained my moral objection to this agreements and ended up getting in writing that it would not be enforced from …

We call people with orange hair "redheads" so, I don't think this is that different

In regards to billing, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a combination of strict regulations/registrations about efficiency and then semi-simple toll roads. If you know how much a …

That is a risk, but not an uncommon one. There are a dozen other workflows that rely on users installing CAs, maybe not quite w/o root, but all the same, installed, so this isn't a…
