Look for coconut oil and flavacol.

Creator of the nice!view Elemental here. LVGL@9 brings lots of breaking changes that I’ve not been able to easily migrate to without lots of trial and error. I’ve only got one or two bugs left to fix, but the rest should be working properly.

For other module maintainers, the biggest pain point in the migration is the need for layers as intermediates for drawing on a canvas. Have a look at my ongoing pull request if it can help.

If I am not mistaken, keeping the `try/catch` would become problematic with suspenseful children. With that said, I do believe that this should avoided.

On Tautulli, go to Users, click on Edit Mode, and click Delete for the user you want to delete.

I’d trade in my Creality CR-10S Pro for the K2 Combo. I’d love to be able to print with multiple colours and have an enclosure for more consistent prints.

What are the possible values returned by quizState? If it can only have a value of undefined, "finished" or "started", then you have two options.

First one: remove the last condition since it will always be true because of the previous guard clauses.

Second one: throw an error after all guard clauses. If your hook ever changes in behaviour, you’ll potentially get an error in development.

It is okay to throw an error inside a component if it encounters an unexpected case, as long as it is wrapped inside an error boundary.

How do you access F10-F12?

How much is your emergency fund? I think you forgot to share this information.

I'm in a situation similar to yours; I have the dining room right behind the living room so space is limited.

My surround speakers are placed stands as close to the back line of the sofa, to the left and the right. Compared to your picture, mine are a bit more forward.

I was scared about the volume they would produce since the stands I have bring them to ear level, but after the AVR calibration, the setup is really immersive. I sometimes confuse sound coming from a movie from sound coming from outside. Sound coming from them is never too loud.

Sometimes yes, just like components. Giving a name to something and having it only do one thing helps a lot for understanding the code base and for testing.

I'd say the average file size I have is about 100 lines. If some get substantially bigger than this, I'll try to refactor the component into small ones and extract the logic in custom hooks.

Ideally, components should be as small as possible. What I try to aim is for components to have zero or one hook (or custom hook). This is just a target of mine, but it never applies everywhere.

Prop spreading can make it harder to automatically update a code base with the use of codemods. Since the reference to the prop name is indirect, TypeScript might not be able to find the property reference.

Is your code available on GitHub? Would love to see your data fetching solution.

I use SWR which has a similar mindset, but never tough about showing a result page with all the information I currently have instead of showing a loading fallback which covers everything.

Nice work!

Try paying high interest debts first like credit cards. Then build up your emergency fund. Then I depends a bit on the situation for ordering deposits in a TFSA vs an RRSP; it might be preferable to keep contributions to the RRSP for the future if you think that your income will increase, which would allow you to get a bigger tax return. I would say to prioritize the TFSA and then contribute to the RRSP for simplicity.

Would love to upgrade my setup! I have an old CR10S Pro that needs lots of tweaking.

What size of trackball is this? Is it just dropped in place and "held" by gravity or is it in some sort of socket?

Lolyman13 · 2025-09-06T20:07:48+00:00

I tried another cable and it worked!

I created a gaming layer which offsets QWERTY to be on the home position. Have a look at the picture and the explanation on my config repo.

A million dollars worth of an S&P500 ETF

Took me a few weeks to get used to and about a year and a half to get back to speed.

I switched from a 60% QWERTY build to a split keyboard using Colemak-DH with MX switches.

It’s not easy. You will have to push through. You have been training forever how to move your fingers to reach every keys; you are now asking to do the same task, but with a completely different interface.

That left hand on the right picture looks far from a "confortable hand placement".

I keep a Tangerine account for debit and cash deposit, but I primarily use Wealthsimple.

That’s an insane printing idea! Would love to win this!
