It seems like it refreshes from blank every time anyone joins or leaves the room. Which happens about once every half second. It leaves me too less time to write anything meaningful.

I think that the ST Book that came 2 years later is more interesting.

Re:Engage with an unemployment algorithm on Monday June 13, 2022 @06:01AM (#31723225)
I tried it from my phone. A lot of the times, trying to sexpand the select list moved me to the previous question.

After answering all of the questions, I came to a black and empty section, scrolling down from there gave me an option to do the test again.

This is so true.

Google search has become so clogged up with shit. It's time I switch to DuckDuckGo.

Re:A 1970s boardgame takes about 1,500 hours to complete on Sunday February 13, 2022 @05:38AM (#30320794)
The title is misleading. There are several board games from the 1970s that takes way less time to complete.
I tried a bunch of different solutions but found OwlOCR to be the one with the best result.

I'll keep an eye on this one too though!

Funny, I ordered it a while ago and yesterday it arrived to my post office. I'm gonna pick mine up today!
Some bugs:

When clicking the grid view, it does not work with åäö. And probably other character as well.

If I add two urls, most of the time, the last one does not show up.

If i add a URL that has a 301 to another url, it's the target url, not the one i entered, that get's published.

When clicking "create list" it takes 5-8 seconds before the list is created. This seems like a long time for such a simple operation.

I guess there are hundreds of these sites. I know of Mapiful since before.

Printmycity is just another copycat, right?

I used to use Postmark but switched to Mailgun. I'm very happy. What would you say is the benefit of Postmark compared to Mailgun?

Damn that's harsh. They're still your family!
I guess that what people are worried about is the fact that there is no way to really know if the prioritization that was made was based on the affiliation or not.

What's most important? That people can read you post or that they share it?

It's much more likely that I share something that I read and liked than something I didn't read.

I'm much less likely to read something if the text is covered by a share-bar.

Re:Don’t buy the MacBook Pros even on sale, in my opinion on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @04:18PM (#16925642)
I bought my Macbook Pro in april 2016.

By october some keys were a bit harder to press, by december spacebar and a few other buttons gave up.

I gave it to apple for warranty, it wasn't even a year old yet. They checked it and wanted $200 for just doing the chekup with no fix (as it was my fault that the keys were broken) OR i could pay $650 to get the whole top replaced.

My income is 100% dependent on having a working laptop so it was not really a choice for me. I paid the $650. This was a few months back.

Now the "2"-key is feeling numb and I'm worried i'll have to replace the top every 2-3 months...
