I looked into lean-ctx and decided not to use it. It has a very specific use case, and it's good when your interaction with the repository is read-only. When you want to edit, then the model has to read the whole file anyway. It's

You can install Whatsapp on up to four or five devices. There one main device, and the rest are "clients", exactly like the desktop apps. But they can send and receive messages even when the main device is offline.

Thanks for mentioning this. I did not know it existed, and it looks very interesting. I might try to "upgrade" my 7-year-old vacuum robot.

I think they also try to provide their own content, blending your library with what they can license for you. It would be cool if they combined your library with a catalogue similar to Netflix in one app. My pet peeve is that they focus too

Thanks for pointing this out. I wasn't aware of this feature. I enabled Firefox sync and lost all my history. It was a user error: I should have disabled configuration sync (clear history when you close the browser). After this inciden

I can confirm that. I switched to using LibreWolf as a work-dedicated browser parallel to Firefox Developer Edition. In two weeks of using it, I got annoyed by the following: - no automatic dark-mode (against fingerprinting, some websites

I've been using eSIMs for a few years, and my experience is similar to yours. I'm an expat living abroad, and I want to keep my old phone number (from my home country) and my new phone number (from the country I currently live in)

TL;DR: They asked Github to take down a repository that acted as a Plex share proxy. --- If I understand it correctly, this software allows you to bypass some Plex sharing permissions by allowing you to re-share other people's librarie

Thanks for the recommendation. Thinkpads are excellent, and honestly, I wanted one. Unfortunately, I'm not too fond of the company. This is because they've done shady security and privacy-related stuff in the past, for example, sh

I'm not fond of Intel, but I recently bought a laptop with an Intel CPU. I'm stuck with them for a few more years. My PC is already AMD-based, and I loved the new mobile CPUs from AMD, but they are either hardly available or in un

The quality of Tesla varies a lot depending on the factory in which it was built. The ones that came from the USA are probably the worst, especially at the beginning of a model. The ones that came from China are surprisingly better built. W

I agree with everything you said about Fairphone, but their software support is decent when it comes for security updates (major Android versions upgrades are not guaranteed). They offer 5 years which is way better than average. Their track

I agree with most of what you said. But it wasn't just that. In the mid-2000s, I ordered Ubuntu CDs, my first contact with Linux. The university campus had fast internet, and I could download and try other distros. Mandriva was by far

If they worked so far, they will continue to work in the future. With my limited understanding, the new models will fail under intensive work-loads. For example adding them to existing RAID setups to replace a failed drive, where in the beg

Relevant is subjective. Merge request approval is not something a single contributor needs for example. You can still get it by paying for it. In the end GitLab is a business, someone needs to pay something. As developer who runs a GitLab s

1) Indexing text vs indexing integer it's very different when it comes to memory/space required by the database. 2) There is already an index on ids assuming they are used as primary keys, why adding another index (on text)? 3) To
