I gave it a try and ran into a situation where the 8 of hearts was the open card at the bottom of a column, and I had a 7 of spades sitting alone in another column, and when I trie…

Just make sure you watch it all the way to the end. Or at least pay attention to the date in the title.

I remember "cat lipstick" being a big joke/meme 20 years ago on Fark.com. Ceiling Cat was omnipresent and FB- was the father of the multitudes.

Maybe I'm just really out of my depth on this, but it feels like there's not a lot of information about _why_ these particular steps and tools are used. Why are 4 different Linux i…

> I ask our clients to build a list of their impressions for the first month (or even more) and then revisit that list after a month. A lot of requests magically vanish off that li…

I'm probably an oddball compared to most, but I use a VM as my main work environment. My main reason is because it's super easy to create a backup and test anything like OS or majo…

I just tried it out, but for some reason it's complaining about missing a pivot_vtab module when I try to open an existing database. (MacOS ARM/Ventura)

That's fantastic! I really appreciate it. I'm going to give it a whirl later this week.

This is pretty cool! I recently started keeping "one text file per month" for my work stuff, and it's been really helpful to have one place to go to see what my next plans are, wha…

Disclaimer: I'm not a developer, but a data analyst in a very small ecommerce company and fulfillment center. I do quite a bit with light-to-medium automation and "development", as…

I've seen the "workspaces" thing in a few different browsers now. I know Vivaldi and Arc have them, and it sounds like it's a separate thing from profiles, but I don't quite grok w…

I've used both DB Browser and SQLiteStudio, and I prefer the flow and interface of SQLiteStudio. It's been a few years since I've used DB Browser, so I forget exactly what I didn't…

A little over a year ago I was struggling with python related to packaging and managing my own dependencies. I found a blog post called "Relieving your Python packaging pain"[0] th…

> It feels like almost all the issues with self-checkout technology come from the attempts to minimise shoplifting, which don't even seem that effective at doing that. Agreed. And …

I have one of these sitting on my shelf! I still get it down and flip through it every so often. I used BeOS around 2002 and 2003, and it was so cool. One of my favorite things was…

I haven't had the same experience with Yabai. I've been using it happily and without issue since April, and I don't think I've had to restart it once. Before Yabai I was using Amet…

In the post link, there's a section called "See it in action" with a video, and in there he shows an example of installing gedit into a container and running it.

I've been using Amethyst for a few years now. It's not exactly a separate WM in terms of changing the window decorations, but it's more of a kind of an automation layer that works …

I did some looking around, and it sounds like it fails to work correctly with namespace packages. Something about the way you have to add them to the path leads to them being later…

Thanks. I know that was the case with the M1 MBPs, but wasn't sure if that would carry over to the M2 versions, and I didn't see anything about charging via the USB-C ports in the …

This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know if you could charge through one of the Thunderbolt ports instead of having to use the magsafe connector? My work uses Macs for a…

I'd be curious to know what they are, as I'm interested in giving the -t flag a try myself.

It's funny how "pip help list" or "pip help freeze" works. :-) I found I can add --path .lib to list/freeze those. It's an extra step, but not too terrible.
