As a vim user, I just remap C+B to C+A. It's much easier on the fingers too. Issue arises when I ssh somewhere that doesn't have the leader remapped but that's usually pretty rare when I have to vim in a tmux session on a remote host so not really an issue

Was just using this to tweak a few settings in an existing theme. It was really helpful to finding out which theme token associates with which UI element.

Much much better. Meanwhile you could exhaust Claude quota in 2 prompts, you can pretty much use Codex all day.

the only time it's using high memory usage if the project runs like 3-4 LSP's. then it's pretty slow, yes.

> Second, there's a decent sized market for cheap, unapproved HID/LED kits for older cars. They're often not aimed correctly.

This, so much this. I'm having no issue with new cars and their LEDs. The aftermarket kits that are installed on 1994 Swifts and Passat B5s are not at all configured properly. They just throw it on the car and "yay i can see more" and sometimes I even think that they are using their high beams. But no, it's just their incorrectly set up lights.

> No GitHub PR sync for stacks. Managing stacked diffs locally is great, but (a better version of) Sapling's PR syncing would be a huge value add. This is somewhat of a pain point for me directly, but even more so a weakness when I've tried to evangelize jj internally as a viable "stacked diff" solution (e.g. to be blessed by our eng tools team). Someone familiar and comfortable with Sapling (or just skeptical of jj) can easily point to this feature gap in a way that pretty much ends the conversation.

Can you explain this point in detail? I've been using jj and doing stacked PRs on GitLab using `jj git push --all`. I haven't used Sapling so I'm not familiar with it's way of doing stacked PR and I'm really just curious what do you miss from it.

Anti-cheats are not really compatible on Linux IIRC. Maybe there have been improvements on this front but I think this was the main issue for a lot of gamers. This and there were cases when they were getting banned for playing through Wine.

I once tried to set up a GPU passthrough setup to a Windows VM to play WoW but there were a ton of report that Blizzard just banned players for using QEMU VMs because they were marked as cheaters.

Can agree. We are awaiting for a response on our DUNs number. They said we have to provide a DUNS number, which we have, and it has to be exactly 9 characters long. Ours is 10. Apple accepts it, Google does not. Even the DUNS lookup site only finds our company using the 10 characters number.

Google gives no response just extended the deadline until they remove our account for not providing the DUNs number.

Funny thing is that our number starts with a zero so theoretically it could be 9 characters long but the official lookup requires the 0 prefix

New comment by pyr0hu in "Edinburgh, Scotland makes it illegal to advertise SUVs"

pyr0hu — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 21:19:16 +0000

I calculated how much our savings would be if we buy a PHEV instead of a new ICE (or a very efficient mild hybrid like the civic or a corolla) and we wouldnt get even after 5 years, because buying a PHEV costs that much more.

Of course this is based on our car usage patterns so its really subjective.

I agree with you on the powergrid and charging infrastructure. A counterpoint i rarely see is if everyone would switch to EVs or PHEVs in 5 years, the electrical infra would collapse. And the electricity price world skyrocket and it would not be this cheap as it is now. So we should keep that in mind when we calculate the savings.

Issues with PHEV in my experience that people CBA to charge their car when the battery depletes and will treat their cars as if they are ICE only. And in that case they just weigh more, put more pressure on the road and the battery takes up quite the bit of cargo space.

Can you give an example for the permission issues that you had with GQL and would've been easier in REST? Genuinely curious, as I'm implementing a GQL backend with simple permission handling and haven't run into anything yet, but I wanna know what could await me

We also migrated to ClickUp (though not from Jira) but while it's better than what we used before, it still feels... I don't know, sluggish. Loaders everywhere, lists are jumping when you scroll. Sometimes I click on a task, the detail modal opens up and there is a noticable delay while the data loads. Typing a / in the description which opens up the command panel or integration panal or whatever it called, freezes everything for like 100ms or more.

We use tailscale for this exact use case and has been working flawlessly so far. You can even set up ACL lists as a firewall.

What do you use for freezing food if not plastic containers? Heating and microwaving, okay, I can work around the plastic containers/plates, but the freezer I have no idea how I'd do that. Especially that the freezer's casing is still plastic

I agree that using upscaled graphics in PCSX2 make them more playable on a modern large TV (Looking at you Gran Turismo 4 in 8k60fps) but I think - because the games _were_ designed to be played on old CRT TVs with scanlines - using an older TV makes the games feel much better. I'm planning making a retro corner with an old TV and older consoles instead of just playing on scaled up emulators.

pyr0hu — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 10:35:08 +0000

Yeah, clients always expect CSV (or sometimes XLSX), but if I tell them that I'll send parquet data, they will ask if I'm having a stroke or something because they don't know what is parquet and how could they use it.

CSV is just too simple and "user-friendly".

China is doing the same in the EU. In european capitals, they are buying up the properties, increasing the rents and pushing out young couples from renting flats for a reasonable price. There are districts in Budapest where all flats are owned by chinese people. How does it help the EU economies, if they are leasing without contract, without tax, without anything illegally? They came every month, you pay in cash, no trace (but this applies to 99% of hungary renting, so it's the issue with the current rental system), they aren't even injecting money into the economy this way. And it's getting ridiculous that 26-28 year old people cannot rent a flat by themselves and have to resort to renting a single room only for 30-40% of their salaries.

Safety. A new-ish car has much better safety devices, better chassis, more crumple zones than a car that's 25 yr old.
