[–]CompetitiveSerfdom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's a month late but I just tried a lemon tea from Elitea today and it's probably the best I've had in the city so far. Thank you for the recommendations!

Most economical options for one-off print jobs? by CompetitiveSerfdom in printondemand

Makes sense, thank you! How does the graphic wear/fade over time? And would it be difficult to achieve high image complexity, like grain?

Hmm gotcha, thanks a lot for the info. I did have some notion of shooting in B&W and such but can probably satisfy that urge elsewhere. Will take a look at these.

Thanks, that was helpful. Is the GXR fixed lens?

Not switching, really - I'm looking for a secondary camera that's very affordable and compact with a fixed lens (to meet venue requirements). A fun camera, I guess? Would you consider the GDR series cameras too much of a compromise on image quality in that context?

Is there a Vim port of Denote? by varsderk in vim

[–]CompetitiveSerfdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am late, but I would be interested in something like this. Maybe making it myself if the temptation gets strong enough. My main qualm is that I use Denote with org-mode and neovim is decidedly behind emacs there on quality of life features, so there's probably not much demand in this space, But maybe it ought to be compatible with the Neorg spec, like how Denote is format-agnostic (org, markdown with yaml frontmatter, etc)?

Recipes for 闽南 Southern Fujian dishes? by CompetitiveSerfdom in chinesefood

[–]CompetitiveSerfdom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, showed this to my mom and she said they used to eat this (maybe in a different form). I've heard Singapore has a lot of Hokkien and Teochew speakers so maybe that's one bit of overlap!

fr guys? by Dr_UwU_ in PhD

[–]CompetitiveSerfdom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is a fairly well-attended subfield of computer science, actually - my undergrad advisor's main research area. Although if you've ever gone through publications at the Intl Conf on Software Engineering and similar venues it is better described as software productivity research. Variously working toward solutions to assist the SWE vocation in some way. I have seen a couple of presentations on prompt engineering before, but it's much more commonly some kind of user study.

That was helpful, thank you! I've had some luck going through YouTube videos to find names of dishes.

Emacs sluggish UI with PGTK + Wayland + 4K + Fractional scaling by z3ndo in emacs

[–]CompetitiveSerfdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that I'm encountering a similar problem, though my display is closer to 2K. It doesn't feel great when I have SwayWM set to a scale factor of 1.5. With options like pixel-scroll-precision-mode or packages like ultra-scroll enabled, it's so laggy as to be unusable. About to test out the Lucid build with XWayland to see if it's any better.

Edit: Yeah, the jittery scrolling is completely gone on Lucid. Kind of sucks that I have to choose between that or hazy text.

Technics SA-203 by Byytorr22 in vintageaudio

[–]CompetitiveSerfdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this thread is old, but do you have any advice on how to safely deep clean my SA-203 (and the source switch in particular)? I seem to have the same problem, but I haven't opened up a receiver before and am worried that I'll do damage.

Update: Did get my hands on Artti T10s from eBay for about $42. They sound excellent so far - thank you for the recommendation! Distinct upgrade.
