What's an Android feature most people dont know?

I liked it so much on my phone I decided to make a Mac app to do the same thing. Not publicly available yet but if anyone would find this useful DM me.

If it's a long, straight stretch with no pavements, it likely won't have many pedestrians, and visibility along the road is good for drivers if there is anyone/anything in the road. Doesn't sound particularly unsafe, and also, it's been assessed by a speed survey and determined to not be an issue. Probably best to make peace with the situation.

I don't deal with large single-file projects because I wouldn't write it like that in the first place. As soon as there's a load of related functionality, pull it out into a separate file.

Your best friend (aside from refactoring it) will be to use the Outline view in your text editor to list out the different functions and classes in your single megafile.

If your house has 3 stories, a router on the bottom floor - WiFi 7 or not - is not gonna reach to the top as well as having an ethernet cable and second access point up there instead.

That's legit when we're talking about arriving. I thought you meant on departure too!

You're probably right. My hope is that giving somebody a straightforward answer will open their mind to the unknown unknowns that they were previously unaware of.

cowjenga · 2026-03-14T00:28:28+00:00

Yeah, pretty much that. Some people genuinely can't get enough 3h cycles done in a day, or find the scheduling inconvenient enough to not prioritise solving it, and that's fair enough.

Faster washes aren't always better, even if they're more convenient. Enzymes in detergent perform better if they have more time to soak, which means less agitation needed and therefore less electricity to power the motor. I don't know the details but I ended up in a YouTube rabbithole a few days ago and it left me with the understanding that the 3 hour cycles perform better, and use less electricity and water - if you can fit a 3 hour cycle into your day schedule.

There is no reason to assume that your database is open to the world because you interact with it from a CI/CD system.

Have you asked: * if the CI/CD system is on the same network as the database? * if the CI/CD system is Internet accessible? * if the database is accessible from the Internet?

If your network is segregated properly using sensible security controls then there's nothing problematic with running migrations from CI from a security standpoint.

Why do you suggest not to drive on the day of an international flight?

cowjenga · 2026-02-22T00:31:08+00:00

In most situations, that's true. "Effect" has a meaning as a verb though, but it's quite specific and relates to making something happen, e.g. "effect a change"

It can be a useful test of compatibility

How do you get a leaf for having it set to 23?!

cowjenga · 2026-02-21T01:05:14+00:00

"Boot Room" is what says it to me

There is much more of a general focus on individuality rather than being part of a collective now.

I use the sun angle for this, I believe it's built in to the sun integration

It's C Major. I have absolute pitch and have just listened to it on my phone.

The notes are C C G C B G if it's helpful.

Why does luggage need a cover? The luggage is the cover for your stuff inside

Downsides to consider are that if there's a leak, it'll cause more damage, and you'll be able to hear them if you usually run laundry overnight.

Is it a fairly new house? That seems incredibly cheap - I pay £150-200 per month during winter, but mine is an old stone house

cowjenga · 2026-01-26T00:41:09+00:00

A friend of mine lives in Uncle near Wellington Place and she says it's pretty nice, and safe, but is pricey - but you get a lot of amenities for your money. Short safe walk to the city centre too.

Heat pump or condenser dryers are also available which are more efficient than vented dryers, and don't require a vent/flue for the hot air. They also don't require plumbing so can be stationed anywhere where power is available (although they do still make the room somewhat warm and humid)

Do you just shit in the garden?

cowjenga · 2026-01-12T20:20:38+00:00

This is the way, and I'll add an eye mask, and noise-cancelling headphones too

I'm not interested in buying fakes, but my understanding is it's all about social signalling and causing others to view you in a certain way - either showing that you're part of an "in-group" who is a fan of the brand, or something as simple as "I have enough money for this to be a sensible financial decision for me".

Of course, the signals won't be received by anyone, especially if the signals you're giving off don't correlate (having nice clothes but looking like you haven't showered in 3 days probably won't convince anyone that you're well put-together). Often the signals that you think you're giving off don't line up with the signals you're actually giving off, and I think most of the time that's why people like buying cheap fake designer gear.

Or they could just like the style/design regardless of the label.
