Caught my attention as eesel means donkey in my mother tongue. Privacy policy and terms of service links lead nowhere. Does not seem like those topics are considered seriously, jus…

Having been in the aviation community for some time and having seen more than a few accidents with these things, it's worth to mention that they are way more dangerous than they ap…

Looks great. Is there a similar tool around for Linux?

As an Estonian, I can relate to this. "How are you" and similar drivel gets me every time and borderline drives me mad. There is a brilliant comic called Finnish Nightmares that co…

Am I the only one who'se browser really struggles to scroll this page? Firefox Mobile.

Excellent tutorial for bitwise arithmetic this is. The key is the motivation you receive from the prospect of being able to do something that seems "l33t".

The plain utf8 covers the "basic multilingual plane" (x0000-xFFFF), so it will get you very far, actually. In our app, we finally went for utf8mb4 to allow people to enter emoji. A…

The 5L of extra produce cannot possibly pay for the equipment and power.

Here is the mission control broadcast for the final stages of the sunshield deployment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBPNi7uGgWM A lot more information and happy faces

For what it's worth, libvips is part of OSS fuzz https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/tree/a21768ce6a5056d27f82... I thought they mostly fuzz the loaders, which are the most critical…

libvips is great! The performance is so good you can probably process your images on the fly. Can't recommend it enough.

It's a SwiftKey quirk, apparently, trying to be helpful in inserting common punctuation.

Thank you. This will replace my notes app. One small thing that got me confused. Typing ? in my SO's Android (MS SwiftKey) automatically adds a space after it: "? ". No idea why it…

Absolutely. Sidewalks were never meant for meandering robots. At the very least we should tax those stupid things as they consume a public resource.

To be clear, I did not mean that my fingers are caught between the keys. More like I often felt like I'm hitting keycaps sideways. I could not always discipline myself to operate t…

Exactly the same sentiment. My yearlong experiment to try to love mechanical keyboards left me with a thousand euro hole in my wallet and physical problems spanning from fingers to…

It does offer a diff option when you have local edits in the /vendor (for whatever insane reason). Always assumed it could be triggered manually as well. TIL. I also love how easy …
