While not in the SU directly, I got to enjoy public transport in communist Poland for a few years and yeah, you don't want that.

Let me guess: You get your groceries delivered by some underpaid sucker? While I enjoy biking it's impractical many times (if you don't live a sheltered life with people doing all the annoying stuff for you). We have those inner c

Those alarms are pretty much mandated by law. So it's politicians/law makers who "design" those alarms. This smells like inexperienced engineers designing something and then being surprised by side effects. Sadly there&#

Can't you just snip/disconnect the speaker/bell wire? I did this back when I had a truck and often had to maneuver with open doors (at very slow speeds) - the "door open warning bell" was so annoying that I just pul

LLMs themselves don't. But selling LLM related bullshit to investors has.

>Isn't that same as a jpeg then? Yeah, but Fuji X cameras are renown for their JPG processing so many people want the in-camera JPG. You could shoot directly to JPG but with an app like that you can later change the JPG profile, etc

Funny, I've been shooting digitally since 2007 and I've never seen RAW spelled other than RAW. I guess we've been doing it all wrong :shrug:

BSD grep is the pure grep version though. Perl regex is unnecessary bloat.

Meh, the threat vector to me as a resident of Germany is the German government - not some dude at the other end of the world. What is Musk going to do? Ban me from Twitter? Not sell me a Tesla? That's nothing compared to what German au

I'm glad Vodafone is available where I live. They're not better but at least they're an alternative. Also Telekom manages only to deliver 250mbit/s while Vodafone gets 1gbit/s. Last apartment I rented Telekom was th

I have the same problem with Jekyll. I fixed my website for the Jekyll version I installed when I got this machine (in 2021). I dread the moment when I get a new computer and have to either try to install this particular version of Jekyll o

That's certainly a (to me) very unusual way to learn programming.

Before macOS 26 I would have agreed with you. But after Tahoe my M1 MacBook Pro feels a lot slower. Funny, there's even some regression in layer backed NSView rendering where the app I'm working on is faster (in some aspects) in a

I've got one of those in my 2004 Mazda. It even came with a backup camera. Best 50 Euros ever spent. :)

Heh, funny. I recently implemented a countdown for a teleprompting app and that's exactly what I ended up doing to make the countdown "feel right". The countdown in question doesn't display fractions of a second so it wo

How did you get out of your photography obsession? Because currently I’m really really into photography as well and it gets unhealthy. (Both time and money wise).

I think Rust speaks to people who don't "play" with their code during development. Moving stuff around, commenting things out, etc. When I try to do this in Rust, the borrow checker instantly complains because $something viol

They weren't written in Rust. But I wonder why the borrow checker wouldn't catch the date bug...

I almost forgot how bad the dev-tools ecosystem was back in the day. I remember back in 1998, when I was 15, I took on a vacation job in a car shop (wet sanding car parts) just to afford Visual C++ 6.0. I also had to order the compiler thro
