It sounds like their jira instance was truly the keys to the kingdom, given the creds _and_ tickets describing all the flaws needing fixing. A golden README.MD to escalate to their hearts content

In Australia, our supermarket bread almost always has “vegetable oil” in the ingredients. They can’t even be bothered sticking to one type of vegetable oil or listing which ones they use.

I’ll take the home bread

I thought I'd share I finally tried this today, on a fairly low end grinder that clumps because of mechanical means, not just static means. After doing a little WDT to break up the larger clumps, I noticed I only had to do a very short WDT before the grounds looked ready. I noticed the shot took about 8 seconds longer than normal before I reached the target weight. Super cool!

edit: to make this slightly more scientific: My spritzing was 0.5g. Hoffmans video seems to indicate his bottle takes four sprays to hit 0.5g, my cheap nasty bottle did it in two sprays. Definitely worth measuring with a 0.1g scale if you're going to try this, as 0.1 appears to reduce chaff on your grinder, but around 0.4 onwards was needed for this brewing outcome

My understanding has been that youtube is more pet project for him, and square mile is what really pays the bills

He's done a video before on what his normal process looks like, and its always had both the water spritz and WDT, so while annoying he didn't clarify, I'd assume he's still doing WDT in these results.

My completely unscientific guess is its possible that WDT is redundant or solving a different problem, given WDT wouldn't be breaking up much of the static charges between smaller particles, just mechanically separating larger clumps that are visible to the naked eye. Still very keen to see someone rule it in or out because I personally loath WDT first thing in the morning

I thought I had been once, and got a very scary email that came from my own domain, claiming to have gotten into my things, and I fully assumed it was the VPS that got hacked. After calming down and raiding the shit out of everything I realized it was just plain old domain spoofing. Both disappointing and terrifying at the same time!

this broke me the other day. I've always defended spotify through all their shitty decisions, but lately they've had a very take-it-or-leave-it approach to their key features.

The answer given by support is literally "we removed it for no reason, we might do something else later". How on earth did that pass their internal processes?

Did the friend park the car out the front of his house, with a license plate that would have been shared by the sister? In the suburbs you don’t need to be overly precise, do a drive by and stop at the house with the car?

These boots aren't going to lick themselves

I lost my absolute mind this morning trying to figure this out. Dual wan and neither working. Got a few hours into the work day and ended up digging out an old WRT router just to get some work done. I saw a bunch of kernel panics and assumed the router finally gave up a the ghost after all these years. I guess I can go fish it back out of the bin

> I think my history with software make me subconsciously better able to formulate a question for Siri in a way that produces an answer other than "I found some web results...".

Hah, very much the same. My partner will always end up asking me to ask siri to ask something because my slightly differently worded requests tend to succeed more often

There was a project a few years ago called BabelPod that would take line-in (or any audio source really) on a raspberry pi and it would send it to airplay speakers, effectively making a janky wireless aux cord for record players and such.

I tried setting it up the other day after seeing a fork that has addressed some of the isuses, but I only had about 2 hours to try getting it working before giving up.

For those interested, just keep in mind the chances of it working are pretty low without some debugging, and most people run into issues with it

Nope, quite unfortunate.

Sounds like kindle is pretty broken

So you’re telling me you can give Amazon money for their closed book system, give them more money and they can just decide to take away “””your””” books you’ve bought over the years?

Can’t wait for the apologist to appear and explain why this is just totally fine

Yeah exactly. My fairly basic MacBook Pro back in 2014 was capable of driving 2 4K displays on the intel GPU. It was not going to win benchmarks but it never slowed me down in day-to-day work until it aged beyond its useful life.

If you can afford the caldigit, it’s a premium unit but seriously good and quite popular.

Meanwhile, I’ve not owned a desktop for about 5-6 years now. I invested heavily into a good docking station setup that eventually evolved into an eGPU setup. Means I own one macbook for dev work, and play games on boot camp with the GPU. Not as cheap but the convenience has been really nice.

Work computers I’ve been given over the years plug into that same docking station when I WFH and my ergonomics don’t change. I have one cable that goes into the work or personal machine depending on time of day.

I’m saddened by the fact that I’ll have to downgrade to a dumb dock when I receive an apple silicon Mac, as these don’t support eGPUs

Nah that would be getting a HARD return from me

This is fixed with using a power cable on the charger block instead of the bunny-ears adapter. Apple removing the power cord in favour of only including the bunny-ears adapter was such a mistake

Small world, the youtube algorithm put that video in front of me the other day, enjoy it a lot.

He has mentioned a few times now that he struggles with developing ideas and script writing, and is essentially bottlenecking his pipeline. I'd imagine a well picked writing team that doesn't lose sight of what makes his content great would be welcome, but also I don't doubt over the years he's explored this at length already

Yeah whenever I've seen a favourite creator put up an out-of-place piece of long form content, it sometimes even gets a calendar entry so I can give it my full attention later

ahhhh I did have one email fail to send earlier, SSL error, but it sent when I retried just seconds later

you might not need a good user experience

Trust facebook to both create react AND make the worst performing react application of all time.

Just migrated one of our projects from webpack+babel+tsc to just webpack with esbuild-loader, the difference is astounding. Just need to remove webpack itself now so we can use their transforms.

I was super disappointed to find out that after they crammed a whole iPhone SOC package into the speakers that they don't do offline processing for siri like the phone does. Seems like such a wasted opportunity

Thank you so much. This alone is a quality of life improvement on an ios keyboard. I'll live with s/well/we'll/ if it stops trying to police my tone when I'm annoyed

Also I saw a good joke once about if you want a programming issue solved, don’t just post it to reddit; make another account in which you respond to your own question with some useless advice. Redditors will not idly stand by and leave someone else uncorrected.
