  • The best toy of them all

    Jump

  • I feel like those manufacturers really didn't try. It's no secret that cats like enclosures, so why build your cat toy completely open?

    And to add insult to injury, they skinned a cat to upholster it.

  • For what it's worth, the dolphin face is a relatively recent addition. I wanna say three months tops.

  • Like Windows explorer but better

    Jump

  • Well, apparently that is a thing in Dolphin, but if what you actually want is e.g. to just move all .png files, then I prefer to use the Filter bar (Ctrl+i or the fourth entry in the hamburger menu). You can just type ".png" into it and then it hides all entries which don't contain that substring.

  • The Sort by → Type also doesn't group together image formats, at least...

  • I've also had it before where my OS was in English and I coded an Excel formula on there, then sent it to someone with their Excel in German and they couldn't use the formula then.

  • What was a friction or annoyance plaguing you that you finally resolved recently?

    Jump

  • Had stinky feet throughout my whole adulthood. Always wore padded shoes with a fake leather cover, like every shoe shop throws at you with promises of them being breathable.

    Then recently bought shoes with canvas for the cover material and they single-handedly solved the problem. My feet are not always hot anymore, because I am just wearing two pieces of cloth over them (canvas+socks) rather than thick padding. And they are actually breathable, too, allowing sweat to dissipate pretty quickly.

    And if I do sweat more in the summer and they start to smell, I can chuck them into the washing machine¹ to undo that entirely.

    At the risk of wholly explaining what a cloth is, I guess, I should also mention that moisture does not just go out of the shoes more easily, but obviously also into them. So, they're not as great of a choice for rainy days. But yeah, that tradeoff is definitely worth it for me.

    ¹) The shoes I got actually recommend putting them into the washing machine. Might not be a good idea with other canvas shoes.

  • Tesla Cybertruck: Zu gefährlich für deutsche Straßen

    Jump

  • Find's immernoch wild, dass die das Teil so produziert haben, wenn denen ja hoffentlich schon im Voraus klar war, dass der internationale Verkauf schwierig wird.

    Zu einem gewissen Grad ist die Polygongraphik natürlich ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal, wodurch man sich erhoffen kann, manche Käufer anzuziehen. Aber wenn Musk nicht zum Nazi digitiert wäre, dann hätte es als E-SUV ja bestimmt auch einen europäischen Markt gegeben...

  • Omnomnom

    Jump

  • In regular expressions, it would match "aaaaaaaas", since the character before the asterisk is what needs to be repeated. To match "avocados", the pattern would be a.*s (or a\w*s).

    Or alternatively, a*s as a glob pattern would match "avocados".

  • A quick reminder, 2025 update should include AI in the diagram

    Jump

  • I wouldn't because no one's an expert in all aspects of programming, and as with any learned skill, the majority of folks are at the lower end of the skill spectrum. Some folks reading along are experts in biology and only do some light scripting to process their data, but still generally get the jokes.

    But even if it were the case that this was a community exclusively for senior software engineers, it would still be legal to just explain the difference rather than throwing a quip at them.

  • A quick reminder, 2025 update should include AI in the diagram

    Jump

  • Yeah, they're complaining about a technicality. Using the word "AI" to refer to LLMs or to generative AI is just common parlance. That definition changes every few years. Five years ago, neural networks were referred to as "AI" and a few decades ago, the AIs stealing our jobs were calculators. This is known as the AI effect.

    Among experts, "AI" describes a whole research field with a myriad of applications, of which image recognition is definitely one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

  • Pure magic!

  • My parents recently got a new wired telephone at their home. It announces on the display that a call is coming in, but only starts ringing a second later.

    I would love to know why that was deemed a good design decision.

  • Leather shoes alternative?

    Jump

  • You could check out cork leather shoes.

    I'm on the canvas train for shoes (really good against stinky feet), so I haven't tried any cork shoes, but I'm really happy with my belt and wallet out of cork leather.

    The wallet has a few specks where the undyed cork shimmers through, which I've been meaning to color in with a sharpie.But yeah, the belt in particular is great. At this point, it must've surpassed the lifetime of any other belt I've had so far and it still looks perfectly fine.

  • What are you working on?

    Jump

  • Been hacking away for quite a while at basically a build tool/framework for Rust, which picks up where Cargo leaves things. So, it's really just a set of libraries for now, which you can use while writing your build scripts in Rust, to help with stuff like putting together a distribution archive, caching intermediate results or handling the automatic installation of CLIs you use in your scripts.

    Definitely has been an experience to build this. It feels like a magnitude more work to find generic solutions for this stuff, compared to just throwing it down for a single codebase.But it has also been rewarding, seeing builds becoming more robust and quicker in the other projects that I'm definitely also still developing and not just using as a testbed for my build tooling. 😅

  • What are you working on?

    Jump

  • The first chapter of the Rust-CLI book is IMHO a very good place to start for just learning how to build something useful. Of course, it does not replace building a project of your own, but might give you enough of a framework to fit your own ideas into.

  • Can you fuck off

  • You can turn on a filter list in uBlock Origin, to have those Cookie notices automatically hidden.

    Combine with e.g. Cookie AutoDelete to automatically delete whatever cookies still get stored.

  • Can you fuck off

    Jump

  • Yeah, third-party cookies are blocked by default and the remaining cookies can be automatically deleted with Cookie AutoDelete.
