Fingers crossed for vlang[0]. It's like golang with better types and more syntactic sugar. Feels like a proper upgrade from Python.

I really hope they succeed.

Battery life, display scaling, sleep & wake up issues, trackpad gestures, sound output, GPU-accelerated video playback... Just to name a couple of problems I hope not to encounter every time I decide to give Linux another chance, but I still do.

To fix them, you need to run some arcane commands, edit some config files, compile your own kernel, ... I don't know. I'll have something that "just works". I'll keep using Linux headless on a server, where it really shines.

I like it when Excel parses and recreates a HTML table into a spreadsheet. You could possibly paste it as text and split to columns, but I doubt it would work as well.

Those are feet kgs. Like light years.

Playwright is another, really good alternative

I personally find it refreshing to read an example that is not "A deposits $10, B withdraws $10".

Any filter worth its salt would also include "pr0n" along with "porn"

Did you try sleeping earlier? If you regularly sleep at 01:00, then you won't be able to wake up at 06:00. If you go to sleep at 22:00 then it's not as impossible as you think.

I usually resort to running inline scripts using python3 or node (using only the standard library) if I need to do something that I can't express in bash easily. That means avoiding stuff that have to look up and I won't remember or be able to debug in a month.

They had huge bezels. I feel like current phones with huge displays are at most as big as then-phablets or even smaller.

Reminds me of the soundtrack of Tron: Legacy

The trick is to look for appointments early in the morning. People who think they won't be able to make it to the appointment that day cancel theirs and there's a bunch of openings every morning.

What are the possible use cases for this tool? Why would I want to find out the total runtime of all videos in a directory?

Also, you might wanna limit concurrency[0] instead of spawning many ffprobe instances at the ~same time.

In another note, ChatGPT suggests this shell command to do the same thing. It doesn't process files in parallel though.

    find . -name "*.mp4" -print0 | \
      xargs -0 -I {} ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 {} | \
      awk '{sum += $1} END {print sum}'

Thank you so much. I read about this app here, but I couldn't find it later when I moved to Germany. I'll use the shit out of this app.

And get paid peanuts in return?

They probably don't know how to close tabs.

They're probably getting the highest traffic they've seen in years. And they'll continue to get it until `threads` search results are dominated by the Threads app.

Maybe the author means something else. How else could you hit 100% of the lines if you're not covering all branches.

Reminds of the plot of the film The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty[0], where the Life magazine was transitioning to digital-only releases.

I use Kiwi Browser on Android. It's a custom build of Chromium with extension support. I install Stylus and write some CSS to fix anything that bothers me.

Firefox lets you use / for search.

Had a good chuckle out over this one :)

There's value in having database tests. It lets you assert the logic embedded in SQL in repos, which you cannot test without actually running the query on an actual database.

How is the performance? Battery life? Is it usable for long periods of time or just "good enough" to test a couple of things?

I think you can download portable version of a Chromium-based browser and install any extension you want on it.

I guess this is a reminder to support your pirated material source.

Bitwarden also supports this out-of-the-box

Assuming you'll be able to understand the dialogs...

What I often miss is a hotkey to jump prev/next argument. The closest I could find is jumping by words, but it's not the same.
