If concentration of control over concentration scares you then a social media not owned by the US should be welcome. Now you have an all-american echo chamber.

Trains are more comfy, almost silent and way more convenient. You don't have to start traveling to the airport 3 hours in advance. There is also this little silly thing people talk about called global warming

Gron has the same issue, as it too is written in go and randomizes key order.

It's when a package manager updates Firefox while it's running.
pbsds | 3 years ago | on: Every single time I open your software, I'm asked to download an update
I prefer the Firefox solution. Chrome "solved" this by running the outdated version untill restart. But if you click a link outside of chrome it opens in a new instance of the updated version, without your old tabs. If you at this point close all chrome windows then you've lost all the tabs on the outdated instance.

A 3d spider could easily be invisible to the 2d guy, by simply staying clear of his viewing plane. Hence why the "approaching perpendicular to his plane of existence" YouTube comment is actually terrifying.

Many editors support the rmate protocol, enabling you to open a remote file from a ssh session in your local editor.

You could implement your design in nmigen [1], use it to generate either verilog or rtlil, then use yosys (via [2]) to reduce it to an AND and NOT circuit (using the 'aigmap' command), then visualize it with [3]

Wow, really puts a new perspective on the usually massive wait times here in Norway.

This survey doesn't have a case for those who know of Nim but have yet to try it out. Expect a lot of 'other' responses to read through.

This has for me been a godsend after corona hit. The ".remoteenv" file is for me the killer feature. Being able to bundle remote-cli in my python-poetry dev environment makes the setup trivial as well.
For those interested, here is my ".remoteenv" file to setup poetry using conda: https://gist.github.com/pbsds/fe243e518717531b10b2782add5192...

I agree on the monkeypatching of pathlib. It makes it difficult for a reader to look up what the functions do.
Providing a different module, like `import nPathlib as Pathlib` would be a lot more discoverable.
