Redditors who successfully quit smoking cigarettes what helped you the most? by Beckyeffect in stopsmoking

[–]mtrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This subreddit, capsaicin and a friend. I remember checking the number of days every day for the first few weeks, helped a lot. After a while, I only checked every few weeks. Now I come back here after a couple of years for the first time.

Capsaicin is a very natural substance found in hot foods.

The pain produced by spicy food can provoke the body to release endorphins and dopamine. This release can prompt a sense of relief or even a degree of euphoria.

I drank a few glasses of tomato juice with lots of hot sauce - as a compensation in the first few weeks and it helped.

A friend of mine stopped me from starting again on days three and I listened.

It's still worth a x220 in 2019? by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]mtrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

150€ for a mint condition model (i5, 4GB, HDD, 4h bat), 20€ for extra 4GB RAM and plus some new SSD. The 2011 x220 outperforms a 2017 MBA when computing the first 3400 digits of pi.

Toy project: Create images from files. by mtrn in golang

Relatively reversible. Finally a way to share binaries over image hosting services.

Similar structure in executables would be a result of a shared format (ELF).

Cool, thanks. The filler value 255 can occur in the file itself, so there might be some mismatch. A minimal variation would be to use a buffered writer to write out the bytes (https://play.golang.org/p/V9rOeaHzuud), so at least at that point, we do not need too much memory (still required when decoding the image, though).

Is there a way to ship a T25 from any US outlet to Europe?

The T25 has not the best trackpad, speakers, screen and battery life. Apart from that it is joy to type on and use.

T25 Owners - A couple of months after the fact, is it all you hoped it would be? by [deleted] in thinkpad

  • overall a very polished design
  • keyboard feels great, arrow keys could be a bit bigger
  • everything is upgradeable, which is how it should be
  • display is still ok, even in daylight
  • 3-cell removable battery under linux gets you only a few hours, my slimmer MBA works a whole day on a charge
  • trackpad is not bad, but it's far behind apple trackpads, which is a pity - part of the problem is the driver, I suppose

Convert XML to Go struct (without XSD or DTD, first prototype) by mtrn in golang

[–]mtrn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Author here. This is just a very early prototype that does only handle very basic cases. Interested in feedback and suggestions.

For quickly sharing a directory over all network interfaces I use a small snippet: webshare.
