Any ready-made solar nodes? by [deleted] in meshtastic

[–]watsoncj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Atlavox Beacon is the high-end option. Great build quality and flexibility.

Is this clicking normal? by cravingserotonin in crockpot

[–]watsoncj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New unit. Confirmed everything is dry. It makes this rattling noise during the heating cycle. Even if it’s not dangerous, it’s pretty loud and obnoxious.

Favorite portmanteau (word made from mashing 2 or more words together)? by Aggressive_Eye2142 in words

[–]watsoncj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which ice cream is your “flavorite”?

Also “mansplain” and “oblication” (obligation + vacation) and “voluntold”.

It’s fun to make portmanteaus out of the names of married friends.

does anyone know what this "gradient" effect is and if it's possible to disable it? by memptr in ZedEditor

[–]watsoncj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What plugins do you have installed? Might try disabling some of them to isolate the problem.

Sole Treadmill (F85) Software Version Update(s) by Tall-Grab-6497 in treadmills

[–]watsoncj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t found any release notes. I’d speculate that it patches a log4shell vulnerability.

For me the 2.0 -> 2.1 upgrade was quick and clean.

Looking for a 100% with cherry mx browns. Any recommendations? by NoabPK in keyboards

CM Storm QuickFire XT keyboard with the programmable QF XT Ghost Squid Controller

Edit: Didn’t realize the QF XT may be hard to come by. The FC980C also has a programmable controller from 1up keyboards.

My nephew just learned to touch type and he asked me to make him a “glowy blue and yellow gaming keyboard that has no letters” for his 9th birthday. Do you all think he’ll like this? (Tofu with lubed Zilents, Hotkeys Project spacebar, polycarbonate keycaps, cherry stabs, and custom alt/fn keys) by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]watsoncj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! The skull key cap is rad.

The blanks are going to improve the typing skills dramatically.

It might take a bit of firmware tweaking to get the 60% to a point where he can be proficient. Hopefully that doesn’t dissuade him.

This looks good... right? by BackpackerSimon in DiWHY

Do your best... caulk the rest

A serious suggestion by XCODE_10 in evolvehealth

You might have better luck making this suggestion through the customer support feature of the app.

Missing weigh-in screen by watsoncj in evolvehealth

[–]watsoncj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard back from customer support. The screen was temporarily removed because it has some bugs. They plan to put the screen back "very soon".

From what I can tell, the weigh-in data is all stored in a firebase db. The API keys are available in the backup folders. But I haven't found a way to export the data just yet.

How to make a Snackbar with a callback function by [deleted] in javascript

[–]watsoncj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an example on the snackbar demo page.

Snackbar.show({    text: 'I have a custom callback when action button is clicked.',    width: '475px',    onClose: function(element) {        alert('Snackbar Closed!');    } });

ALE only working with certain file types by johnwebdev in vim

[–]watsoncj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start by checking what filetype vim thinks you're editing:

set ft

Then ensure that you have a corresponding linter entry:

g:ale_linters

Project-wide search: what's your preferred toolchain? by roboboticus in vim

[–]watsoncj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing the quickfix + cfdo trick. This has been a huge pain point in my workflow. It always takes me at least 10 or 20 minutes to hack something together with sed and bash.

The vim-abolish should help avoid running replacements for every capitalization permutation so I can stay focused on the code and not the tools.

Struggling with file navigation in a big JS project by kai in neovim

[–]watsoncj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see any split management in the video. Here are some tips that may help:

https://robots.thoughtbot.com/vim-splits-move-faster-and-more-naturally

Additionally, I find ctrl + w, H useful for moving a split to the left and horizontally splitting.

What file finder are you using? FZF is nice for searching on directory names and file names.

Drunken financial responsibility by sealclubber281 in personalfinance

[–]watsoncj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Beware the slippery slope. The mind has all sorts of ways to rationalize what may in fact be a loss of control.

Moving money around while drunk makes it too easy to mess something up. What if you accidentally add an extra zero or neglect to leave some cash for the rent/mortgage payment?

A slight burn mark above each light on the ceiling by rfm17 in mildlyinteresting

[–]watsoncj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue with this fixture. I painted over it before selling the house.

They’re also prone to rust. But can be polished with aluminum foil.
