For 2 larger projects I'm on, I'm both the developer and a user: on a regular basis I use the software myself. And not just for one-off tests. I really use it the way other users use it. This has provided rather deep and interesti

I always wonder if it's worth it. Like: is it actually convenient, or is it 'solving' inconveniences which actually do not exist or didn't exist before using the service? I have never used Prime or AliExpress but also do

sk possibly means 'sort key' (makes one wonder what other keys there are) and chr = chronological There's also &filter=friends one can add to that.

Not that I know of. It is a bit weird that for me it shows the same posts in my normal container with uBO enabled, and in a new container with uBO disabled: no sponsored ones. But when visiting facebook.com straight away I do get ads/s

you realize that the only way to not get served ads on Facebook -- and thereby not benefit the company itself -- is to get rid of it completely You're probably right when it comes to benefiting the company, but technically - at least

But taking comfort in activities that deliver small drips of dopamine slowly instead of a truckload of it instantly is helping me a lot, I think Would be pretty interesting to figure out if the amount of dopamine really is smaller. I&#x27

I know right. Even makes me feel like the person doing it doesn't respect my personal space by making a sound whereas they could also just be quiet. Qualifies as misphonia probably; I feel like the strength of my reaction is unwarrante

one thing that comes always to my mind is the possible reason of reaction to shitty work and work related stress that makes us crave for nature and nature contact I'm sure that's a thing for some people. And there's researc

does anybody relate to this grown interest to plants and bird distinction with age? I do, and I've seen it in others, but from the limited data points I've seen there's no causal relationship with age. I.e. what I've s

If your goal is eating mostly tofu, sure. But one could also eat 'normal' meals (think food pyramid) from a varied diet including tofu and there'd be no need for nutrient-infused tofu and it would have a richer taste from mor

I was talking message logs for example; is that trivial? I.e. what do you mean exactly? Do you notice the difference between 1 line of text being added every 16.6ms vs 3 lines every 50ms? And if so is that a problem?

Even without this performance hit, an often used way for implementing 'auto scroll to top/bottom' is to first check if there's no other stuff coming in before starting to actually scroll. This goes unnoticed by the user

If you haven't been thinking deeply about memory management and concurrency, you won't be able to understand, no offense meant I do think about that, when needed . My point is that these containers can be 'good enough&#x27

and even std::map, std::unordered_map, even std::vector (!) suck It's really hard to take your comment serious because of generalization like this. Maybe they're not usable for your particular usecase but that doesn't mean

Is 'frame drop' a common term for latency? Dropping frames means something else entirely to me. Anyway: you can calculate things for your particular rendering framework all you want, that only tells you when that software consider

I get that completely. I hardly ever just listen to any EDM. Technical death metal on the other hand I probably enjoy more listening to at home than going to shows because often the sound quality at shows is just never as good. But I was ta

There's a huge variety of electronic music styles. I'd really recommend trying some without the substances. Maybe the extremes are your thing? Or the highly melodic euphoric ones? Or dark stuff? Etc.. The nice thing if you find so

Amongst the money and power seeking it definitely is but I'm not sure how prevailing that really is among the general population. I think for starters many don't even realize there's a biodiversity crisis (doesn't exactl

Surprisingly, The Netherlands is missing on this map too. Very strange indeed. It's agricultural output is insane for a country with its surface area. Isn't that, just like in Belgium, mostly so for meat and derived products?

And Soulseek is still known as the P2P source where you can find all kinds of obscure music. Wow, TIL. Do you happen to know if IRC file sharing of obscure music is still a thing?

Pesticides form the backbone of crop protection. Without them, we're looking at at least a 40% reduction in global yield Such numbers might be ballpark correct, but I think the "without them" here literally means "if w
