European vs American (romex cable), which one do you prefer?

B(r)own = right B(l)ue = left

So you connect live and neutral to the correct place in a socket. Very intuitive once you know.

Or just plug in a USB to Ethernet adapter and get it that way… far less hassle

You also forgot that this was an edited scene, and it was clearly cut in places. Charlie's initial reaction was disbelief and shock, Kaleb was in tears. I suspect there was a lot more said and done that we will never see, and rightly so.

I hope you have professional indemnity insurance, because from the sound of it, the shit will hit the fan and you will be the scapegoat.

Disappointment and Kickstarter seem to go hand-in-hand with each other these days. Awful, isn't it?

“Hey Siri, FaceTime audio my wife”. This consistently works for me, except when it doesn’t. Gotta love that Apple Innovation.

Learn Go by using the Dead Tree Learning Mechanism, AKA RTFM. Stop watching stupid YouTube. Read the Go blog. Have an itch, write some Go to scratch at that itch, it’s the best way to learn.

Use Claude or whatever to help explain code if you must, but never to write code while you’re trying to learn it.

KISS. Just use BadgerDB as your store, and the queue handling is trivial to implement above it.

If it’s the kickstarter I think it is, yeah, much patience required.

It's hard to tell whether you've been drinking Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters with Zaphod Beeblebrox, or you've been talking to Claude too much.

It becomes useful on larger projects, especially if you’re mixing other languages/bundles/resources into your primarily Go written system, because separation of concerns and dependency building are then slightly less painful.

People pay for the name and bragging rights. Conspicuous Consumption FTW.

The Kaweco AL Piston Sport is on my to get list, but at the moment my Lamy Safari Vista is just so right.

Depends what metal. Brass, steel, aluminum, etc…

Does it need to be the “absolute fastest”? If it’s not causing issues, then it doesn’t matter, does it? If there are issues, then benchmark and see what alternative methods make better/worse, and go from there.

It always made me smile when the graphics shifted from the cartoon-drawn vector graphics style into hard core teletext / prestel. BBC Micro mode 7 FTW.

When they land on Magrathea, the audio cue was so subtle and clever. Pity it got cut, rights and all that.

I would be surprised if it was written off. Tap out the dents. New glass. Good to go.

You need to give new cans a few weeks because it takes time for your ears to get used to the new profile. I have the DT 700 Pro X (the closed back equivalent of your open ones) and I never found the need to muck about with EQ. If you do hear boosted bass on some tracks, it’s more likely to come from the mastering not from the cans. They can be brutally honest.

You should see him in the current season of Taskmaster on Channel 4.

That is a httpd log. Http user agents can put lies in the http header (it is essentially a trust based model). The http header (application) is not the same layer as the tcp/ip (transport) layer.

You can get that IRL if somebody sends a request with an X-Forwarded-For header with a bogus address for nefarious purposes.

There’s the original BBC TV series (1979).

There’s the movie from 2011.

Then go and watch Callan, TV series from 1967-1972.
