uv has a super power that it doesn't much talk about - seamlessly managing monorepos. I'd been using pants before, but it's such a pain to setup and maintain. uv just kinda works like you'd hope.

The Seattle Aquarium is amazing, you should definitely give it a visit. It's not even that expensive. They have a little tide pool "petting zoo" with all sorts of cool critters with interesting bodies. I moved out of Seattle

Speechify is pretty good. You gotta pay to get the most out of it, but I use it enough to justify it. (Mostly for an egregiously long serial novel.) Sometimes there's jank, but the support and dev teams are super responsive.

Orhan is quite different though - he's a braggart unreliably narrating his own story after most of the events have transpired. You can't believe his reluctance, it's a show he's putting on to make himself look better. Th

I got hit by some privacy gamma radiation I wanna say 5 or 6 years ago. Did some research and they seemed like a good fit. I really liked the idea of being able write my own filters in script form rather than via some horrid form like what

It's not digital only, I have a physical version. Whether or not you can get a card depends on your locality. Nevertheless, I don't understand why it's so much more inconvenient to understand and purchase compared to the 9 eu

Does the switch even have the capability to support a mictrotransaction focused shell game? The store is incredibly slow and obtuse, where these things rely a lot on smooth, fast transactions to get it over with before people can think too

I wonder if you could get more reliable performance by planning a more centralized location. My book club uses the main jitsi site and it works well all things considered, but it's not perfect by any means. We've got people in sev

Yeah I typically buy 3 months worth of coffee at a time. I can barely tell the difference with my various pour overs.

You can also save like half the money by making that a hand grinder, and there's fewer parts to break. 30 seconds of mindless spinning really isn't much.

Netflix is doing a bunch of adaptations, which will naturally draw a bunch of renewed interest to the books. They probably wanted to avoid discourse criticizing the books when the new shows came out.

> for die hard DF fans who know all hotkeys inside out there's little actual reason to switch to the Steam version They made the game so much more playable it's hard to understate. We're not even talking mouse vs keyboard

Donations. They have a patreon and have had paypal donations long before that with the occasional donation drive to pump up numbers.

I disagree, though it depends on the circumstances in which you're consuming them. If you're listening while you're doing something that is mentally engaging then of course it will be hard to absorb the information. But I&#x2

Python's type hints are definitely an improvement and they're getting better all the time, but they're still frustrating to use at anything approaching the edge. I long for something as elegant and functional as TypeScript. O

There are DF overhaul mods that make it scifi. I think the big one is called The Long Night or something like that. DF has steam workshop integration so you might see it there soon

Clanfolk, though it's more medieval than fantasy.

Switch: - Has a nearly unusable store front where discovery is basically impossible - Requires you to pay for online matchmaking, while having a worse online user experience than the Xbox360 - Has remarkably fragile joysticks prone to drift

One aspect is that if I go to apple.com on the day of the WWDC keynote, the stream for it will be front and center. If I'm going to the site to shop or access any of the other services there on that day then I'll see it. The same

The idea that you shouldn't do a helpful thing just because it won't entirely solve the problem all by itself nuts. Even assuming that the estimation method used here is entirely without flaw, they estimate a 6% per capita savings

As an American, you should be against this. We've already got a perfectly good defensive treaty with them that would compel us to act. Tripwire troops are only necessary if you don't believe the other party would honor the treaty,

I wouldn't be so sure. Taiwan is different in that they have TSMC which is definitely of extreme strategic interest to NATO.

Cost is almost entirely unrelated to why I prefer to use carry-ons. If it was only a matter of waiting at the destination, I probably would check my bags. But checking a bag comes with the risk that: - It could get lost - I could miss a con

Some people own multiple homes. Some people rent out those second homes. Some turn them into glorified hotels via AirBnB and the like. Some merely sit on them as an investment vehicle or a tax avoidance scheme. These people are leeches on s

Is there a good, real comparison of password managers for personal use out there somewhere? I've tried looking in the past and haven't found one that isn't just ads. I've been a long time LastPass user but I'm looki

Yeah. I was having trouble justifying the cost of college and was trying to go for ROTC but couldn't because of medical issues. My dad essentially used the air force as a means to extract himself from generational poverty. We're w

Honestly, reddit. I moved to Berlin last year and wanted to buy some coffee making equipment. This was still the height of the pandemic, before vaccines were readily available here. So I hit up the local subreddits. And now I have a small l

There's a great book by Lois McMaster Bujold called Ethan of Athos that somewhat explores this idea expanded to encompass an entire planet. Technically it's part of a series, but it's standalone. It follows an obstetrician fr

Nothing in this article justifies the title. Broadly their primary complaints seem to be that Hasbro is selling anything aside from a core rule set (or really anything), and that the founders of TSR were slowly pushed out. These somehow mea

Hey, if what you have works for you then by all means keep using it. Less e-waste is always a good thing. If this new machine can save you time, maybe it's worth an upgrade. My last upgrade brought my compile times down more than five
