IdiranVibe··on Visual Studio 2022 – 17.10 Preview 1: Productivity, Debugging, Diagnostics
It gets pretty sluggish when you're working with really really big solutions (in my experience).
IdiranVibe··on Use of decimal point is 1.5 centuries older than historians thought
Well, they tend to not call them decimal points in those countries/languages either!
IdiranVibe··on A custom Zigbee doorbell (2023)
fwiw I've had the same experience. Struggled for ages trying to build (in my case) custom ZigBee compatible smart devices running python and it seemed impossible.

Bit the bullet and setup home assistant and I've not looked back - I can even send post requests to web servers to do literally anything as part of it, it's great .

IdiranVibe··on UK to Ban Disposable Vapes
FWIW even menthol cigarettes have been illegal in the UK for a couple of years now.
IdiranVibe··on All arabica coffee is genetically similar: how can beans taste so different?
IIRC they change colour depending on how acidic or alkaline the soil is!
IdiranVibe··on Patreon: Blocking platforms from sharing user video data is unconstitutional
Plex isn't for purchases or rentals, it's for streaming users' privately owned content, so seems like it wouldn't come under this.
IdiranVibe··on It's Not a Cigarette. It's Not a Vape. and It's Big in Japan
The ~90%[0] of people who don't smoke is probably good evidence....

IdiranVibe··on Solar and wind to top coal power in US for first time in 2024
Surely existing methods of energy storage methods e.g. pumping water to higher altitude reservoirs to be used for hydro at peak hours will be more useful than millions of lead acid batteries
IdiranVibe··on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 [video]
I wouldn't expect for coop gaming to be part of the experience. V had 3 protagonists but the story was all entirely single player and I doubt R* will be moving on from their tradition of single player RPGs.
IdiranVibe··on Elon Musk Biopic in the Works at A24 with Darren Aronofsky Set to Direct
I'd prefer a Louis Theroux style documentary investigation...
IdiranVibe··on FCC launches inquiry to increase minimum broadband speed [pdf]
I suppose at that point it's a geography issue which is less of a problem here due to the size of the country
IdiranVibe··on FCC launches inquiry to increase minimum broadband speed [pdf]
It blows my mind that you guys in the US still have to deal with data caps ... It's been years in the UK since that's been a thing for broadband, and we're close to the point where mobile data will be the same
IdiranVibe··on Ditch the glass: It's time to bring back less-fragile plastic smartphones
You can't have wireless charging with a metal chassis AFAIK. Whether you value wireless charging is another question.
IdiranVibe··on Fairphone 4 with /e/OS by Murena now available at fairphone.com
The first comment literally talks about premium features....
IdiranVibe··on Terraria developer bashes Unity, donates $200k to open source alternatives
And ironically, the non-PC versions make use of Unity
IdiranVibe··on Unity’s new pricing: A wake-up call on the importance of open source
Not at all... lots of people still run unity 2021
IdiranVibe··on Tell HN: You Can Revert Your Slack UI
Any way to do this in the desktop app?
IdiranVibe··on Safety inspector fired for finding 'too many defects'
> at most city speeds

This is exactly it! Their speeds are limited around areas they're likely to interact with people to enable this. Agreed that slowing them down probably is wrong but they should definitely be protecting crossings.

IdiranVibe··on Humanised kidneys grown inside pigs for the first time
Surely this just leads to people who are desperate being taken advantage of ...
IdiranVibe··on Show HN: Nix Snapshotter – Native understanding of Nix packages for containerd
Will you be at NixCon? Seems like good timing to post this!
IdiranVibe··on Firefox Monitor
People who create/release dumps that these tools check tend not to be too focused on account security....
IdiranVibe··on Switch from Chrome to Firefox
I love Firefox, but really wish I could group tabs like you can in chrome.
IdiranVibe··on 20 Years of Programming (2020)
40 minutes is not a particularly long walk for us in Europe (as a Brit I can still say that right?). Though if I was doing it every day for work I'd probably buy a bicycle!
IdiranVibe··on Minecraft Wiki considers move away from Fandom to new platform
They should move to wiki.gg - was started for the same reason; fandom buying up previously good independent wiki hosts and turning it into an ad riddled hellhole.
IdiranVibe··on Threads has passed 2M sign ups in the first 2 hours
It absolutely does - if you know meta is buying you know they can afford way way way more than some random company so you can charge more
IdiranVibe··on Write a Book with Markdown
At this point surely LaTeX makes more sense for this kind of work...
