I should vibecode my own Onshape.

LLMs made things a lot easier but before them I wished there was a stackoverflow but paid, so you could pay someone for an answer if they happened to have specific information. You…

They do have some sort of sleep but its very inefficient so Lenovo Thinkpads actually go into hibernation after an hour or so of sleep, to avoid the user waking up to an empty batt…

Set ‘media.default_volume’ to 0.3 or so in about:config.

Don’t fall for this. It’s too good and I can’t get out now since nothing else than vscode supports it. Dependencies, env vars, dev databases, ports, everything all written up in co…

Some iOS 15 phones like the 5S/SE have no newer comparable phones which makes upgrading difficult. Oh dear, I suppose not browsing the web is another option.

I’ve always wondered why the backtrace just kind of stops midway to when you finally handle an error, instead of showing up to the `?` where the error happened. I’ve been using any…

Any way to get Firefox ESR without untrusted third party flatpacks? On normal firefox you can’t run your own extensions…

Buying a movie from google for that certainty sounds pretty good huh. I wonder if the purchase might also dissuade any accidental deletions of a google account.

We weren’t supposed to talk about fight club

With higher latency the experience suffers. As an example liveview page navigations work via websocket which is not cacheable so navigating back/forward always needs to make a requ…

Wasn’t manifest v3 supposed to prevent dynamically loaded code? As the article says these extensions are featured but (I think) the latest update to v3 says: “In January 2023, use …

Yes, sounds right. When trying out Fedora I installed the fcitx5 tools, added some env vars and virtual keyboard settings and rebooted. Then I had CJK working on a virtual keyboard…

For what I understand in order to use CJK languages on Linux you currently have to install not a keyboard layout but a separate input device which makes getting started quite diffi…

I have tried all sorts of Electron, Java and Web Postgres clients but HeidiSQL, despite limited Postgres support, is just way too usable in comparison. Maybe it speaks for the data…

You don’t need an import map on an existing project now, meaning it needs less configuration than before.

Being able to lift cookies from every website you are logged into sounds crazy and amazing. Anyone have any clue what people are using it for? Maybe roll your own session sync?

Why does it matter what language, framework or library someone works on their weekends? I guess the main point was bad influence from people working on non-systems programming stuf…

Does bitwarden work if server is offline? I know the client works without internet connection but server outage had an issue earlier last year https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=…

A scroll wheel speed of one line at a time is not a good default.

How so people feel about client side navigation? Browsing svelte.dev it appears back/forward navigation now requires a request each time as browser cache is no longer usable. Page …

Sounds good, I’ll try again when I have time. My latest attempt was back in Summer with Fedora 36 and a Logitech mouse. The default was one line at a time and I could not find a se…

Off topic but I really wish the regular old mouse and scroll wheel would work ”normally” straight out the box on fedora/ubuntu/etc. It’s really such a horrible experience coming fr…

Would be interested to know if they stuck with it

Sometimes I chuckle to myself wondering why people pay 36 bucks a year for 1Password. Then I launch my $10/year Bitwarden desktop app. I’m halfway through typing my master password…
