Especially when they say: > Don’t feel like you have continue the conversation if they respond. You can if you want, but don’t feel obligated. Then why did you write?! What kind of "good human being" are you?

I would have taken the yellow book and called every bakery listed there to check if they were open. I think sometimes the impact of technology is overstated :)

Just replaced for the first time battery on my Macbook Pro 2015 Retina. Feel so good using such an old piece of hardware.

If I was a hiring manager, I would certainly appreciate this attitude. However, I would value as well a person who would use an already made tool for doing the job (such as yt-dlp). Only problem is that the second type wouldn't write a

In this case was also subsidized by the companies offering the deals. And I guess they had less money to waste than VCs...

Actually my experience is the opposite. In colder climates such as Russia, Finland I have seen room temperatures to be quite mild, above 20C for sure. However, in Italy in winter it is quite cold inside. Needless to say that thermal insulat

Totally agree with you. However, some times I think most of the people take what they're given and the 'radicals' are just a small percentage of the total. Manufacturers simply decide to make what is cheaper for them (see for

HN is not about downvoting things one disagrees with but rather posts that do not add anything to the discussion. Same holds for upvoting, many times I upvoted posts I did not agree with but that raised interesting observations on the topic

I've been on the Google Play version of K9 for years and I must say that it was perfectly fine. I changed to FairEmail as I thought having a very old version of an email client might not be ideal from a security perspective. At the mom

Just switched from K9-mail to FairEmail. I was using the Google Play version of K9 so at the moment I am quite happy of the switch. There is only one thing that I did not manage to find in FairEmail which is the ability to read the header o

I just recently ditched oh-my-zsh as I wanted to understand and have more control over my shell. I have to say that just using native zsh capabilities I don't miss oh-my-zsh at all. A good guide (although a bit old and maybe too thick

Could you clarify what you mean with media ? According to my understanding a medium is a mean of communication, thus including text. OTOH it seams from your message that these are two complementary objects. Is my understanding correct?

Vim's default behavior is to put two spaces after a period when reformatting (for example with gq). If you prefer to keep one space instead of two you can use: set nojoinspaces

But then why would Google's mailserver not know that it once delivered email to that mailbox? If the protocol is stateful, why the state should be kept by the "sender" and not by the "receiver"? Being stateless remo

So it is not only Facebook that has complete access to the message history, but also Google. The funny thing is that I cannot find a way to access that backup myself, is anyone aware of a method to download that backup as a data dump and in
