I read this out to my girlfriend (as well as a few other responses of yours in this thread) and had to ask for clarification on a lot of the terminology (roots, tack, gore - ha, neat!). She designs and sews all of their products herself, an

My girlfriend and her sister started a bra and underwear company together: https://tizzandtonic.com/ They have found the bra part of it to be especially difficult because of how hard the sizing is. There are bust and band m

Sway isn't written in Rust, all C as far as I know. It's really great though! Highly recommend it if you're looking for a minimalistic and very practical window manager.

MySQL 8.0 actually added support for functional indexes, but I found out the hard way that they don't work the same way as indexing generated columns. For me the biggest issue were the caveats around using the indexed column in conditi

I personally like that Lex asks things like that. He has a pretty unique style which sometimes gets you some philosophical questions, but he also doesn't take things too seriously, so I think even a humorous response would do the trick

I think you must have missed it because the author mentions several times that it is more important to evaluate the individual. Here: > First and foremost, I think this requires a recognition that none of the findings I presented in this

Thanks for the book recommendation and the link. From the Wikipedia article: > German also lacks an informal language register Can someone provide more insight into what this refers to? There are definitely less formal or technical sound

I like this idea a lot! It would also be neat to just distribute the material from certain core subjects like history across several other courses. So in history you're learning about the Ottoman Empire and in home ec preparing börek.

Is the issue in Canada similar to what the sibling describes in Australia - insufficient recycling infrastructure?

20 days is the legal minimum in Germany. I think a lot of other countries have similar rules. It's kind of sad that in the US and Canada, 4 weeks vacation is special, and 2 weeks vacation is legal.

Here's a quite good (but simplified) explanatory video: https://youtu.be/Ja4oMFOoK50 This one contains more real examples of them ballooning: https://youtu.be/VDL9VxLqdvw

Thank you! That's good to know. Maybe I'll give them another shot

I have two keyboards from KBParadise from 2016 with the Matias QC switches. I really like them both, but they've had intermittent (but sometimes very severe) key chatter issues. It's really too bad because they are great keyboards

They are hiring for several technical and non-technical positions, e.g. Software Eng both Full Stack and Robotics, Mech Eng, Electrical Eng, Accountant, Talent Aquisition, etc. If I lived over there I'd definitely consider it. Such a c

I previously tried configuration management using various techniques. First the plain home git repo, then rcm [1], then briefly stow. What I found, is that while these systems all worked reasonably well, I ended up writing out several manua

It does have an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mnemosyne I can't comment on the feature differences but the community is much much smaller so I wouldn't be surprised.

Do you or anyone else have a perspective on how mnemosyne compares in this aspect? https://github.com/mnemosyne-proj/mnemosyne

The use of "Umwelt" seems a bit forced to me. I speak German and don't think the meaning is different from just saying "environment". Is this a standard term in the environmental sciences?

Wouldn't they have then spelled it as you've written it and not halfway between? Seems to be a typo to me

That quote was used in the article! I guess you missed it: > If you’ve ever heard the aphorism about “ten years of experience or the same year of experience ten times,” the Expert Beginner is the epitome of the latter. I agree with the f

I don't want to trivialize learning modern frontend development with a clean slate, because it is a long process to get familiar with the tools. But I think those are the details and not the basics. Whether you use html templates ren

Thanks :-). This comes up so often! Is there a reason HN doesn't use a more mobile-friendly format for preformatted text?

What about https://syncthing.net/ ? EDIT: I know you said without going through the internet. Syncthing can be configured to only transfer over specific networks (e.g. home LAN/WI-FI)

I find 100% vacation leaves me wanting to work after a week or two, and 100% work leaves me wanting travel after a few months. I think it would be ideal to work a flexible job where it's possible to live and work remotely for several m
