My girlfriend and her sister started a bra and underwear company together: https://tizzandtonic.com/ They have found the bra part of it to be especially difficult because of how ha…

Sway isn't written in Rust, all C as far as I know. It's really great though! Highly recommend it if you're looking for a minimalistic and very practical window manager.

MySQL 8.0 actually added support for functional indexes, but I found out the hard way that they don't work the same way as indexing generated columns. For me the biggest issue were…

I personally like that Lex asks things like that. He has a pretty unique style which sometimes gets you some philosophical questions, but he also doesn't take things too seriously,…

I think you must have missed it because the author mentions several times that it is more important to evaluate the individual. Here: > First and foremost, I think this requires a …

Thanks for the book recommendation and the link. From the Wikipedia article: > German also lacks an informal language register Can someone provide more insight into what this refer…

I like this idea a lot! It would also be neat to just distribute the material from certain core subjects like history across several other courses. So in history you're learning ab…

Also do a lot of journaling with VimWiki. Works well https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

Is the issue in Canada similar to what the sibling describes in Australia - insufficient recycling infrastructure?

Haskell is definitely another language that comes to mind when discussing research and innovation

20 days is the legal minimum in Germany. I think a lot of other countries have similar rules. It's kind of sad that in the US and Canada, 4 weeks vacation is special, and 2 weeks v…

Thank you! That's good to know. Maybe I'll give them another shot

I have two keyboards from KBParadise from 2016 with the Matias QC switches. I really like them both, but they've had intermittent (but sometimes very severe) key chatter issues. It…

I previously tried configuration management using various techniques. First the plain home git repo, then rcm [1], then briefly stow. What I found, is that while these systems all …

It does have an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mnemosyne I can't comment on the feature differences but the community is much much smaller so I wouldn't be …

Do you or anyone else have a perspective on how mnemosyne compares in this aspect? https://github.com/mnemosyne-proj/mnemosyne

Really entertaining! For whatever reason the writing style made me think of this classic: https://www.cs.utah.edu/~gback/awfgrmlg.html

Great explanation, thank you :-)

The use of "Umwelt" seems a bit forced to me. I speak German and don't think the meaning is different from just saying "environment". Is this a standard term in the environmental s…
