Time box it. I play video games for 1 hour on Fridays. More than that and it makes me depressed.

I built a window vent with a variable-speed computer fan and an esp8266 that communicates with a CO2 monitor and raises the speed when the CO2 gets too high. I have a very fine mes…

> PR counts and GitHub activity numbers. This used to mean something, but I don't think it does anymore.

I noticed this a few years ago and decided to start giving any automated systems a special email address so I can filter automated email into a separate folder. I only give out my …

I've been a mc user for many years, but lately I've been using dired in emacs. It's quite powerful and intuitive to me.

I knew npm was a train wreck when I first used it years ago and it pulled in literally hundreds of dependencies for a simple app. I avoid anything that uses it like the plague.

In my experience, this is how it goes whenever there are more than 2 people in a conversation. The speed of the topic switching defaults to the fastest processor in the group, basi…

You can always write in reverse like Leonardo DaVinci did.

The blog post says they'll be using Application Templates to implement this: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/app_templ... So touchscreen support will be like a m…

Same here. My wife and I are both unable to login due to a forced password reset and password-reset emails that never arrive.

Or different instances of the site on the same server, serving different locales. Only one instance would be running at a time.

I thought they were overpriced until I looked into building one myself. The heat sinks were going to be really expensive. The LEDs and lenses weren't cheap either.

I bought some switches from aliexpress for my Logitech G203 and replace them when they fail. I've had it for 5 years now.

Seems like a pain to install. I'm looking forward to this being packaged for Debian.

I use Blender for CAD. It's not designed for that, but I've developed a particular workflow that fits my needs quite well. I use it to design everything from small parts to buildin…

You're so wrong. With only protein and fat, they would not be able to gain much weight. I've tried to gain weight on low carb/high fat, and it doesn't work. I was uncomfortably ful…

I have been locked out of websites for solving a captcha so quickly that it thought I was a bot. So we went from requiring humans to solve a puzzle that bots can't to now requiring…

I think I would prefer a slower comment velocity. By the time I get around to replying on HN, everybody has moved on. But I really like how articles aren't limited to technology on…

It sounds like you may be burned out. I was in a similar position until I changed fields entirely and took a long break from computer work. Eventually (over a year) my passion for …
