I’m a pretty rusted on Odoo developer, this has been their business model for years and it’s worked thus far, even when facing off with the likes of the SAP and Dynamics of the world.

I love this so much! For anyone asking why, the simple answer is: because they can! Hats off to you, Sir.

I wonder if this person works in IT? I’m a dev lead, I do silly amounts of hours and when I actually have a decent amount of free free time up my sleeve, the last thing I want to do is tinker with my homelab.

I’m a long time Debian user but I have recently fallen down the rabbit hole that is NixOS. I’m still ways away from moving my entire dev environment to NixOS, but I definitely see it’s appeal.

Congrats mate! I’ve been following your work on SerenityOS since the 3rd or 4th video, and it’s been amazing to see the progression from then to now!

You’ve definitely inspired me out of a few burnout humps over the years.

As a developer who works with a lesser known ERP (Odoo, which famously has a terrible level of _good_ technical documentation online), PyCharm/co-pilot continues to blow my mind with how well it interprets my workflow when building out code.

It also does a relatively good job of writing unit tests.

I live in Australia (a country where wearing a seatbelt is instilled in us pretty much since birth, with very harsh penalties for non-compliance) however seatbelts are relatively non-existent in buses, and I have this vague memory that there was a reason for this?

And here’s a great video about said video phone: https://youtu.be/Xqb1o8up_Fw

I’m scratching my head trying to figure out the mechanism of that top down camera.

What a great read. Can anyone recommend any further reading that delves into this period of iPhone development? I vaguely remember reading a similar post some time ago, although regarding iOS development during that period.

And they've made it even more difficult over the past few years. I had written a script that would scrape BoM's page and send the up-to-date conditions via MQTT but it stopped working a few years ago. IRIC, even changing the HTTP headers/user-agent prevented it from ever working again. That said, I understand it's absolutely their prerogative and they have a right to make money from the data.

I’m a full time Odoo developer and Odoo terminal is an absolute must have for me.

Timeline has been up and down since this morning (utc+11) and still is seemingly unusable for me. Probably a good thing for my productivity since it’s my first working day back for 2023.

> I miss the raw efficiency, unparalleled speed and superior ergonomics of my i3wm bushido

I'm in the same vein as you. I tried to be productive on my m1, but as a 10+ year rusted on i3 user, I cannot for the life of me ween myself off it.

> It's like continuously rolling two dice, and you only need to get double sixes once, and after that it's private jets until you die.

I’m stealing this. Fantastic analogy.

Long time lurker, seldom poster, thanks Dan G! As a mod for one of the bigger tech subreddits, I take queues from your moderating style. Peace! And happy holidays!

That was…oddly satisfying. Really wish I could do another one!

> since I don't have a smart phone

I’m edging closer to this way of living. Is this by choice, if so, why?

I’m not colour blind and it is unreadable for me!

> presumably to prevent a kid with a butter knife or paper-clip touching the hot conductor on a half-inserted plug

Correct! That said, I don’t know how regulated it is since I have quite a few IEC cables without that insulation.

> how slow indexing is and how disruptive it is when you do a clean re-install and it indexes all your dependencies again.

Or if your Linux laptop doesn’t actually go to sleep (and goes flat) and PyCharm needs to index _again_ on start!

Damn, as a long time Odoo dev, I really hope to see Odoo on the front page one day.

Technology Connections on YouTube goes into this quite in-depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX649lnKAU0

My partner and I had a big night at a friends engagement party and we drunkenly stumbled upon the fact that we have a shitload of laundry to do and wished there was an Uber for dirty laundry. Someone better do this, otherwise I will!

I wouldn't go as far as cooking more often, but I am calling the restaurant and ordering direct and picking it up myself more often than not.

Unless we’re talking about climbing, weight isn’t _everything_. I would argue that being able to stay in an aero position (go on YouTube, but essentially, get on the drops, elbows in, etc) for longer periods is far more important, these aero gains similarly applies to deep dish rims.

All that said, I do agree with your sentiment that shedding a few bricks is going to be more beneficial than shedding a few thousand on a new bike (or rims!). Hell, you might save yourself a divorce in the process!

I would have paid extra for subtitles when I saw Tenet at IMAX. The audio mix made it extremely difficult to follow.

I feel the opposite, the fact that computers were so limited in resources (in the late 90s for me as I am now pushing 40) made it more fun. These days, with all the space, iops and cores I could ever dream of, it’s like playing doom with god mode enabled.

I’m in Australia and an American friend who is visiting was shocked at how nearly everywhere from small cafes to supermarkets all support payments with Apple/Google pay and tap and go.

Whenever I hear about any American mall, I can't help but think of Dan Bell's Dead Mall series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5NsVylQBWM&list=PLNz4Un92pG...

Oddly enough, I live in Melbourne, Australia and the humble mall AKA shopping centre is well and truly alive.

Jeff Geerling talks about this very TV in one of his videos a while back: https://youtu.be/-epPf7D8oMk

If my partner wasn’t so hell bent in decor when choosing a TV, I would have loved one of these!

What's with all the comments on that Apple thread where people are saying "I didn't have a grain of cereal, rice, etc between the screen"? Are Macbook screens that fragile now?
