That is very negative and assumes the worst about OP. He created something and shared it with the world. It's not to your taste and that's fine. But don't knock someone down for ha…

Re hallucinating APIs that don't exist - I find this with Golang sometimes. I wonder if it's because the training data doesn't just consist of all the docs and source code, but pot…

Yes my bad

For music, Navidrome is superior. It is just crazy how easy it is to set this stuff up nowadays. I run both Navidrome and Jellyfin in docker containers. Then I use NordVPN Meshnet …

Massive Garfield fan growing up. Garfield minus Garfield is still just as eerie and depressing despite knowing the "source material". I love it.

Seems like everyone loves to hate Ubuntu lately. From the Amazon search icon years ago, to Snaps, Mir, "pro" updates (which I don't get the backlash about..). But man, I started us…

I ride a private escooter but really detest these rental ones, based on the experience in Melbourne. We'll be banning them too soon. Private scooters are a thoughtful purchase. Rid…

Reminds me of an excerpt from the book The Body Keeps The Score: When the alarm bell of the emotional brain keeps signaling that you are in danger, no amount of insight will silenc…

I bought a roll of red brake-light tape off Amazon when my daughter was born. Covered every little light in the house. Highly recommended!

Agreed. Dead simple, supported local files, and you could upload your own music collection. YT Music is absolute garbage for anyone who cares about music. It's impossible to manage…

My understanding was that the regulations applied to a normal wash cycle, but that they don't prevent dishwashers from having additional modes that use more water/energy for a fast…

When I joined my company, I was introduced to this dev who'd been there since the start. His English wasn't great. His Javascript wasn't "modern" - he kept using callbacks etc. He …

Similarly, it really irks me how little privacy there is at the chemist/pharmacist/drugstore (listing all synonyms for an international audience). If I have any questions, they're …

I'm really glad they've introduced this, I just wish it also had the traditional formatting methods, eg Infof, Debugf, Errorf, etc, for backwards compatibility. I've got a few pack…

That's why I appreciate starting strength. It's a novice program and the gains come fairly quickly and easily. Rippetoe himself in Practical Programming makes the point that after …

Yeah I actually appreciated how easy it was to create daemons with Upstart. I had no problem with it, I just remember a lot of people pissed off that Canonical wrote their own init…

Sorry, as advised by "The Fitness Wiki" ? Starting Strength remains the absolute best way for a novice to gain general-purpose strength.

How are you squatting? Technique is really important. I recommend watching some videos by Mark Rippetoe [1], and also filming your squats to review them. The low-bar back squat is …

One of the best things I ever did was get strong through a basic barbell training program called Starting Strength. Squat, deadlift, overhead press, bench press, chinups, eat, slee…

A lot of Ubuntu hate, and I totally understand why. We all remember Mir and Upstart. And now Snap. So if this bothers you, by all means look elsewhere. On the other hand... I've us…

Like the Light Phone, I really love the idea . But, even as someone who doesn't use social media, my whole life has become reconfigured around my smartphone. Yes there are negative…

Couldn't agree more. I don't use social media because I think it's a net negative in my life. However YouTube I've always justified by following lots of educational content. I've l…

One time I received a call from my mobile provider, offering me a free upgrade. I thought I was very smart and sophisticated, and rudely demanded information - "oh yeah? what's you…

Not working for me either. Tried the same chord progression (naturally ha)

I went to one in Japan and loved it. I didn't care that it was cringey faux-Australiana. They had like 20 different types of grilled meat - I was in heaven!
