  • Printers leave a watermark on each page indicating the exact printer that it came from. Are there any other examples of these privacy violations that aren't common knowledge?

  • Most ebooks I bought recently come with a warning that the buyer's data is embedded in the file to deter from sharing it online. TBF it cannot be hard to remove it but I didn't bother to check how it's implemented.

  • As a dev, I can feel how much easier to work with the codebase must be after migrating from scattered raw SQL queries to ORM. In my job I have a project with a similar problem and the transition is slowly going on for years at this point, still not close to being finished.

  • Nothing blames Apple patents for the lack of more phones with magnets for wireless charging

  • I think it's fantastic and I would love to have this feature. Powerbank attaching to the back of the phone is probably the best application IMO. But all the different kinds of stands and car mounts are awesome too. And cardholders / wallets.

  • Linkwarden downloaded the whole flipping Internet ...

    跳过

  • I think Linkwarden is fantastic but should be described and advertised more as internet archiving software than a bookmark manager. It really should be obvious to anyone that it's downloading the webpages, not just saving links. I

  • I second this. Very light, feature-rich, configurable and works flawlessly. I use it for ad blocking, proxying all DNS requests to DoT upstreams, and local addresses in LAN and over Wireguard.

  • Well well well.

  • 3 is not related to using git in any way. I'm not really sure what you mean in 4. I didn't mean making a lot of changes, I meant that you should not wait with committing until you have a finished feature / fix / whatever. Commit after each refactor, commit after adding a new testable unit. It's always better to have more checkpoints. If your team does code review, they will appreciate atomic commits too.

    1. Use git for any code you write. Yes, even a simple script.
    2. Commit and push often. More often than you think is reasonable. You can always rebase / fixup / squash / edit but you can't recover what you didn't commit.
    3. ???
    4. Profit.

    Seriously, once you commited something to the repo it's hard to lose it. Unless you delete .git. But a this point frequent pushing has your back.

    I know git can be hard to grasp in the beginning. It was hard for me too. I highly encourage everyone to put in the effort to understand it. But if you don't want to do that right now just use it. Just commit and push. It will pay off.

  • How exactly does one get better at programming?

    跳过

  • Following tutorials and courses is definitely a very popular way of learning programming but I personally hate it. For me, the motivation was always a problem to solve, and programming was just a tool to solve it. Of course, you probably need to follow some kind of guided experience to gather the absolute fundamentals, but to get better you just need to apply this in practice.

    The first ever problem I decided to solve with programming was organizing pirated video files into manageable directory structure. I knew almost nothing about programming at this point and my thought process was something like this:

    1. Which programming language should I use? Search the web, read a bunch of articles, make a decision. I chose Python.
    2. Ok, first I need to find the files to process. Search the web for "get files in a folder Python". Read a bunch of answers (never just a single one!). Apply the solution.
    3. Now I need to somehow discern between movies and series episodes. Search the web for "check if text contains text Python".
    4. Repeat until you have a working program...

    Now, the most important part of this is to have an idea for a project which either solves a real problem of yours or just is exciting to you. Some examples of my projects:

    • Due to weird grading system used in my school, calculating GPA was pretty inconvenient. I decided to solve this with programming. I wanted to make the solution easily available to my teammates so I created a web app.
    • I wanted to control my smart TV using a computer. I knew it can be controlled using Android application so it seemed likely that I can do the same using my PC.
    • I bought a smart lightbulb and I was playing with setting it to different colors while listening to music. A thought suddenly popped up: "hey, can I make it blink to the music?".

    When starting most of these projects I had no idea how to approach the problem. So I just searched the web until I knew it. In the beginning you will probably be searching and reading much more than writing code. But that's a good thing! Programming (or rather software engineering) is not about typing out code, it's about breaking down the problem into smaller chunks until you actually know how to solve each of the chunks with the tools you have at hand. Once you have this understanding, writing code is usually rather easy.

  • I always wanted to play with those cool pipettes you see in lab stock photos and videos. I don't even know why but they just seem so cool.

  • Pope Leo hits out at critics of global warming

    跳过

  • Nice I guess. I wonder how many people will change their mind due to this. My mom for example, has zero problems with simultaneously being ultra-catholic (explicitly pro-church, not just pro-religion) and at the same disagreeing with the pope whenever she feels like it.

  • I would probably fall in love if I got to hear a 30 minute, passionate info dump on a date.

  • Anyone done this?

    跳过

  • Haha, yeah, I know it very well. It can help but it's not a silver bullet. I can't (and don't want to) use it every day because it affects my cognitive abilities too much. Also, even with weed I still need to actively distract myself with something else, because otherwise I'll end up just as hyperfixated, but also high.

  • Anyone done this?

    跳过

  • Yeah, so much this. In my case it's designing or "coding" (still in my head) something related to my current projects. There's no point in going to bed if I have some unsolved project-related problem because I will not be sleeping anyway...

  • Really? Because my first thought was: how did they get away with reference this obvious. I mean, writing "all c... are b..." on a cop car doesn't seem subtle at all to me.

  • I find it ironic that some Linux websites load faster on Chrome than Firefox sometime it doesn't even load correctly on Firefox

    跳过

  • Chrome is just faster than Firefox. I use Firefox, but I do it despite its performance, not because of it.

  • How could you catch hallucinations without checking this information with another source? Or is it the case that coming up with a correct search phrase was the hard part so when you already had the explanation it was easier to search for it? But at that point quoting the other source instead of LLM would be the obvious choice for me.
