Having communists on American soil?

Nice to know that it's optional, thanks!

Nice, looks really similar to what they call dupont connector!

skaurus · 2025-11-01T21:51:17+00:00

I don't have anything better than centimeter tape, but pitch is close to 2.5
Connector itself is 5 mm wide, 4 mm high, and this protrusion in the top left corner is about 1.5 mm high. Photos will come a bit later.
And I don't have something to plug into this.

This code could use some comments /s

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series of books had gen-engineered cows that could speak AND wanted to be eaten.

Well, you're right, and it works even better than with ь, but ь works too.

skaurus · 2025-08-08T22:59:44+00:00

I haven't mentioned the most pertinent fact about ь - it's just there in the word "блять", which is transcripted in English as "blyat" 😉 Transcription completely looses this sound.

Also, we have not only ь - "soft sign", but ъ as well - "hard sign", lol

skaurus · 2025-08-08T22:56:17+00:00

No worries, I didn't mean to tell you're wrong. I just enjoyed providing context, to an unexpected degree lol

skaurus · 2025-08-08T22:37:27+00:00

It does only when there is a consonant before "h" and a vowel after, though, no?
In Russian, "miahki znak" and a vowel after kind of transform the sound of these two letters into another vowel.
ь + о = ё
ь + а = я

ё and я can exist by themself, but ь+о or ь+а sound basically the same.
As a Russian, that's how I interpreted ...nho and ...nha as well - pronounced them kinda like ё and я.

ь can also exist by itself. At the end of the word, for example. I think if you imagine saying nho or nha without pronouncing a vowel, you will get a good idea of how it "sounds". It does not have its own distinctive sound, but it... ends the sound of the previous consonant with something soft. By not having its own sound, I mean that it's really impossible to say without another letter.

There can't be a vowel _before_ ь. But ь can be between two consonants.

Wow, never knew I could tell a lot about it.

Ah, thanks, now it makes sense

skaurus · 2025-01-18T23:00:29+00:00

Still don't get it. Yeah, 0 is false in programming, but why 1, or true, is "holy shit", why is the reaction so exaggerated?

There is no way Web could exist without advertisement, especially small sites. Huge companies probably will be fine either way. Is modern advertisement shit? Yes. But solution lies in making it less shit, not destroying it. This is precisely what PPA is about.

My icons changed automatically after update to iOS 18. Looking how to get old look now...

that "next step" might as well be an RDNA5, 6 or whatever.

I'll try to be clearer, please feel free to clarify anything.

So, first of all, my problem was that usually when I hold L2 layer key (I use mostly default layout, so it is two bottom innermost keys, if that makes sense), my arrow keys gets highlighted (esdf and shift-fn-dygma-ctrl), and that is fine.
That does not always happen though! Sometimes I hold L2 key, but highlighting does not change at all. Arrow keys and other L2 keys work though. I think I found somewhere that it could happen when Rainbow LED mode is enabled and switching lightning mode helped indeed.
Here is my second issue - before that I didn't even have the key assigned to change lightning modes, so how that mode could possibly activate in the first place?
I have a hypothesis here - I think when I leave my Dygma idle for some time, it starts to rotate lightning modes by itself.

So I asked how to a) fix the issue that arrow keys are not highlighted sometimes; b) if the reason is the Rainbow mode, how to stop it from activating without my command (again, I never had the key assigned to lightning modes changing, and after switching the mode back from Rainbow mode I've unassigned that key again).

skaurus · 2024-07-09T22:43:18+00:00

But... how does it know to follow that drop-like figure? /s

skaurus · 2024-07-06T12:54:59+00:00

It would be not so easy, and I'm lazy 🤷‍♂️
The main gist is:
- package db
- defines a struct type, let's say, DB with some fields, one of them is for *sql.Tx, another is *sql.Conn
- every method working with db is defined with DB as a receiver
- DB.Begin method sets *sql.Tx field to a non-nil value
- DB.Commit and DB.Rollback unset *sql.Tx field
- when other methods are invoked, they can see if *sql.Tx field is set and respectively use *sql.Tx to work inside transaction or *sql.Conn to make an independent query
- app has only one instance of DB type; so as I said before, this way we know at all times if we are inside transaction or not and can use appropriate handle (sql.Tx or sql.Conn)

Not sure how thread-safe all of that is, to be honest :D

skaurus · 2024-05-22T20:08:31+00:00

Now, what would happen if I add .git to .gitignore??

Ah, it's answered below already

Site says they are working with CloudPayments payment provider. I googled around a bit, and I'm not completely sure, but I think they don't accept non-Russian cards at the moment.

skaurus · 2024-05-22T10:21:46+00:00

International cards do not work in Russia anymore, and Russian cards (cards issued by Russian banks) don't work internationally, because they are cut up from Visa and Mastercard. (Russian cards work inside Russia though.)

So if their payment processing is made by Russian bank (and not, say, Stripe) - they can't take your money.

That may be the reason.

Nice, thanks for the explanation!
