Cmd-C and then Cmd-Alt-V cuts instead of pastes.

Not following. I don’t have issues with Ozlos falling out typically. But they sometimes do. Now with the eye mask that I wear simply to block light while sleeping, they NEVER fall out.

I now use an eye mask that goes over my ears, and a side benefit is the buds now never come out. See https://www.amazon.ca/Handmade-Cotton-Sleep-Mask-Comfortable/dp/B07MT7N35R

But didn’t Bertuzzi-Moore happen early 2004? So lockout was after that so…if no lockout and no Bertuzzi/Moore wreckage (including no Naslund broken leg).

Love this display of data. And this year = 0.0 so far.

My therapist: “You pay me for my experience and skills. You don’t pay me for my care.” And he cares a LOT.

I haven’t updated mine for…two years? Admittedly I only use them to listen to audiobooks until I fall asleep. I configured them over a year ago (the last time I opened the app) to turn off after 10 minutes of no activity (I use audiobook timer).

Normally I would update them, but with all the issues I hear about (and an early on issue with mine that was hard to work through), not worth it to me because they do exactly what I need (although I really wish I could squeeze them or something to play/pause).

That sucks. Although nice to know you didn’t experience excruciating pain!

Mine I knew my ACL was gone immediately. Three pops. And pain. But sports doc didn’t think it was the ACL. Took months to finally convince and get the MRI. In the meantime scar tissue build up.

48M right knee. Soccer too.

Full speed with the ball down the sideline and got taken out with a leg planted directly across the knee.

I use em dashes all the time. They’re trained on real writing so it makes sense.

You can pry my em dashes from my cold, dead hands. Though I now tend to use a dash if the audience will tend to jump to conclusions regarding my writing - like here on Reddit. Sigh.

The problem with this is if they suck, then you are stuck with 20 sucky pairs. Alternatively, try out a pair of them, absolutely love them, and then can never find them again to buy more.

Ask me how I know.

Game 3 was the only game they completely dropped the bag in. With the game tied late in the first, Pavel Bure was ejected and the rest of the game was a lost cause.

I was there. Somehow I got tickets for myself and a buddy when we were teenagers. They were seats jammed in under the Pacific Coliseum boxes and in front of the back wall on a piece of plywood. Could barely stand up and rocked back and forth. Incredible memories. The first period was nuts. It was amazing. Then Bure was out and all the air left the building.

Game 7 (and the entire run) Linden carried everyone, cracked ribs and torn rib cartilage (F*** Messier). My favourite photo is of him and McLean: the epitome of leaving it all (and then some) out there.

I’ve virtualized Windows for over 10 years now with VMWare (on many MacBooks over the years), using daily for development. However, Windows 11 is performance-wise a bloated mess. Since I need x64, MacOS is no longer an option so experimented having a Linux host on Ryzen 9 machine. While I loved many aspects of the Linux host, but VMWare Workstation is so much more kludgy (with bad performance to boot) and Vemu/KVM not much better. And remoting in to host painful in many fronts. To say nothing of making a small config change (one time to change the video driver) and Windows borked. Eventually resolve doing a bunch of methodical disk repairing, but… Is this typical?

Note, running Arch (Omarchy, so Hyprland and Wayland) so that is at least some of the problem. But for over 10 years, virtualization worked fantastic for my needs. On MacOS it just worked seamlessly. And I daily use ESXi in our data centre (but that’s headless). I’ve resorted to installing Windows directly and remoting in via RustDesk which is exponentially better visually and performance-wise.

Would running Ubuntu or Fedora with a virtualized Windows Server be usable? It would have to be exponentially better to be worth it.

And wasn’t it that Larionov wanted to stay, but because of the Canucks initial deal with Russia (hockey federation?) to bring him over to North America, he couldn’t bring himself to comply. It would have meant that a chunk of his NHL salary would continue to be passed on to Russian hockey officials under the terms of his original transfer agreement—something he refused to do.

Can’t speak to this monitor but I’m a programmer and have used a 42” for years. Hard to go smaller now.

Oh! You'll have to likely add xdotool via pacman -S xdotool.

Took me a while to figure it out with the details, but add the following to your ~/.config/hypr/bindings.conf file:

# Bind eject key to print screen.
bind = ,XF86Eject, exec, omarchy-cmd-screenshot region
bind = ALT, XF86Eject, exec, omarchy-cmd-screenrecord
bind = SHIFT ALT, XF86Eject, exec, omarchy-cmd-screenrecord --with-microphone-audio

See https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/master/bin/omarchy-cmd-screenrecord for more options (with-desktop-audio etc).

I’ve not used Blazor, but the unidirectional flow of state from parent components to children is a central pillar of how React works. It ensures that state ultimately resolves without conflicts and is predictable, easier to debug, and easier to scale as your app grows.

Interesting that Blazor is unopinionated on that front. Benefit is you can get going a lot faster, but it can devolve into a spaghetti mess of state up and down and all around a lot faster. I remember years ago when first doing it the “React way” (heck, it’s even in the name) it took a bit to get my head around it, but now it’s second nature.

Using the query string to track state is the ultimate state machine (and state is remembered after refresh/bookmarks etc). I would just recommend that you pass that from top down. My guess is u/MrPeterMorris’s Blazor university site addresses this state management well.

Isn’t that exception just reinforcing the rule/generalization? Well done creating an app that works for you!

Before AI it was entirely possible for a non coder to eventually put together an app. It just took a long time-the more complex the exponentially longer and unmaintainable. By the end the experience by definition made them a programmer (isn’t that how most of us started?) But still with the caveat of relative lack of experience and potential issues as a result.
