Yeah Windows is solid for me.

Tried a few Linux distrod last year and had endless issues.

MS keep doing dumb stuff with the UI but there's tweaks to solve everything and it's similar to tweaking/ricing Linux so I didn't see any particular advantage of Linux.

NixOs is one that intrigues me though. I absolutely love the idea of OS as config files.

Unfortunately Nix seems to have so much drama and barely any 2 users can agree on the best way to do something.

I heard Rumours DHH/Omarchy might take a crack at simplifying/integrating Nix

Some user friendly Nix concept would make me switch asap

Search issues for "privacy" and some very worrying discussions are there.

Include closed issues, as some have been closed without resolution.

I've worked for plenty of companies using MsSql.

They have all been dotnet ecosystem, but self hosted rather than Azure

I think the latest versions of SQL Server also run on Linux now.

Same here. I've been trying to find a "plain Android" phone but everything seems heavily customised UI by the manufacturers now.

I just found out today I can't call anymore due to 3G ending in my city

I'm keen for a Motorola Graphene and then just install Google services anyway. For me the value is being freed from manufacturers UI and software

I agree, I know those buttons are there and how to activate them, but I still occasionally stare blankly at the screen wondering where the buttons are before remembering I need to hover them

Thanks for the tip wasn't aware of that.

I rarely want those arrow buttons for numbers

You pay for every LTS dotnet,so every 2 years. E.g Linqpad .Net8 license also supports .Net9

Are there unicode characters specifically for delimiters?

If Excel had a standardised "Save as USV" option it would solve so many issues for me.

I get so many broken CSVs from third-parties

Thanks for much for your reply, impler looks the perfect solution

I'll try it out and do a demo with our administration team (who are the ones struggling with the files)

For a very basic example, lets say I want 3 columns

FirstName|LastName|Age

And client files look like

ClientA: First|Last|Age

ClientB: Age|FirstName|Last

CientC: FullName|Age

ClientD: DateOfBirth|First|Last

So they all have the required info, but some intervention is required.

Column matching/renaming

Column order

Splitting full name to first/last

Converting DateOfBirth to Age

It's keyboard firmware for some riscv microcontrollers.

If you want to build a custom keyboard with certain low cost mcus

Spend 2 days fixing a 2 line production problem? Just schedule a meeting with last years self and fix it in development phase

Ok but that's the cutest airplane I've ever seen

Not actively or consciously, but my purchasing desires have certainly reduced.

Laptops:

Lost interest because I find them too expensive or complicated. Either to get what i initially want, or for upgrades down the line. Obviously my opinion would change if I travelled extremely frequently, but for the last many years I've had 0 need for portability.

Tablets:

Never felt the need for one after i got a decent phone

Phone:

Never felt the need to upgrade since I bought a phone that did everything I want and fast enough. Xiaomi 9, extremely happy with it

Desktop PC:

My preference. Good thermals, easy individual part upgrades. Can get great deals either new or second hand. Computing power has been strong enough for a while now that I happily run a few generations behind without feeling the need to upgrade.

What is TA'ing?

Semen has the opposite problem of Elle. The English translation isn't good for a name.

Perhaps the website could add dictionary definitions of the names in each language to help avoid these issues

What's the channel that does ad reads to demo microphone quality?

That's such a simple and genius idea

That can't be right. The last phone I bought (Xiaomi Mi 9) only cost me $600nzd and that's the most expensive phone I've bought.

And it's so powerful it still does everything I need years later.

Are normal people actually utilising phone specs these days? Sure some people game but surely everyone else is barely using the CPU etc

Care to share your build set up? I'd very much appreciate it

I haven't done js since jquery days, but keen to get into modern js development
