  • We do add various cheeses to our pasta and it tastes good. It's usually just a quick and easy meal but it's nothing special.

    Not sure how mac and cheese (not the box stuff) could be much different. Although, I've never had a meal that would be specifically called mac and cheese.

  • 5th of June or June 5th, both are valid. However numeric date format has little to do with how it's said. yyyy-MM-dd (and seperator variants) has the benefit of being orderable and indexable chronologically.

  • The economic system is broken. It incentivises infinite growth in a finite environment. That's just not sustainable and will backfire in one way or another.

    What we need as a civilization is a shift in economic values that would push for a more sustainable model. That shift can be seen, but, in my (expert /s) opinion, it's too little and too late to completely avoid a disaster.

  • I develop and test only on firefox

  • Maybe Go, haven't messed with it at all and it looks interesting enough to try. Other than that I could do C#, since that's where I have most experience. Maybe node.js if I would want to suffer a bit.

  • Or a page that uses only half the screen width in the center. Just use the damn screen!

  • Ahh… sea roaches, quite good in a salad

  • WW3, eventually. The regime won't stop. The ambition is there to rebuild the USSR. That would mean starting a conflict with NATO and, if I'm lucky, NATO will actually involve.

  • It's cool and all, but this feels more like a toy than a tool. I can make dead simple web site in minutes with current stack. Nothing, but plain static pages.

    Heck, if I looked for it, I bet I could set up markdown to HTML converter as this is already a widely used functionality throughout the web.

  • Yeah, a one to one conversion might not be possible. Although this example also approximates the image by making it two tone and using simple shapes to compose more complex ones.

    It still feels as a non-trivial task tho.

  • This feels a lot like vector graphics. I would imagine one could automate SVG to CSS translation.

  • 2 monitors plus laptop. One is mainly used for IDE and git, other one for anything else that's relevant: browser, Jira, notes, second editor to reference stuff. Laptop screen is to the side and mainly used for chats.

    Wouldn't mind a third big screen, often notes, DB, RDC or brower have to be juggled around.

  • Monitors – hell yes! RGB – can't stand it. My keyborad has a plain white backlight and that's it. It's purely functional.

  • So there is a thing I kind of pirate, but not entirely – e-books.

    But thing is, our public library page has e-books and some of them are available to be read online. Now I cannot officially download them, however opening a network tab on browser console shows me a request to download the whole .epub file. So what I do is copy that request as curl and just download it via terminal.

    Is it piracy, probably, is this resource publicly available for me to read, definetly yes.

    Other than that I don't really pirate much else.

  • I've been using Kobo Libra 2 for more than a year now. It's good for me as I mostly read books. It's black and white and has adjustable (intensity and temperature) backlight. One thing I'd recomend – get a case as well. The screen is rather soft and scraches easily.

    Other than that I can't recomend much else since I haven't had anything else. It'll depend very much on your use case: do you need a collored screen, what do you intend to read, comics, PDFs, regular books.

    Reading regular books screen size does not matter as much as for PDFs and comics. And for comics colored screen might be a better choise.

    My general recomendation: an adjustable backlight is a must, both intensity and temperature, deside on a size and color requirements and start looking for something in your price range. Kobo and Onyx were the brands I looked at first, but there are others.

  • I'm pretty much the same. Although my e-reader supports generic epub files, so I go to whichever book shop site and look for ebooks.

    When I bought my e-reader, I specifically looked for one that wouldn't lock me into their ecosystem too much.

  • uBlock usually blocks those cookie pop-us for me, didn't really noticed them.

  • Never had this happen to me. Not sure if it's my browsing habits or something with my setup (basic if you ask me), but I've never encoutered such sites.
