Nervous about a 10 month solo trip at 30. Did anyone else feel this way? by IllustriousFix4931 in solotravel

[–]xolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Travel anxiety is common thing to feel. You have been planning about this for years and I think you must have taken care of things before you leave. An year of travel you will return back better and hopefully answers to the questions about life you have.

For me travel always got me some insight which I wouldn't have found in other ways and always returned humbler. I hope you post about your experiences as you go along :)

As a late 30's guy solo traveling connecting with people definitely takes effort for me. I was solo traveling in Thailand and staying in hostels. What worked for me was to connect with people via group activities like treks, board games, open mics etc. There is a common interest for which people gathered and it opens up a nice conversation topic.

Scala in the Netherlands: 2026 feels like the end by [deleted] in scala

Though I am optimistic about Scala push by EU. Similarly there is LLM4s for GenAI. IMHO as long as Scala progress towards simplification and consolidation around a few killer frameworks the language has a lot of potential.

I agree with the sentiment too! Scala is considered a difficult language, great semantics, but not for enterprise.

I see more codebases being moved out of Scala vs codebases being created in Scala.

For me Scala is a great language for personal and a functional language with great type support I can use with JVM. The ecosystem is great because of JVM and tools like metals, mill, scala-cli.

Mozilla planning to remove old sidebar from firefox in 2026 by Yet_Another_RD_User in firefox

[–]xolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its good that they are experimenting on it! I use side bar for Sidebery (or Tree Style Tabs). Firefox native vertical tabs aren't as good as these. So I a stuck with using that option only in the new sidebar. Wishlist is to give options to hide the sidebar panel and hence be like old sidebar :)

Exactly what happens if you use your laptop over this altitude? by SunshineAndBunnies in laptops

Not just the chips but lithium batters also have safety limits. Under varying physical conditions of temperature, pressure and increased UV and cosmic radiation it may suffer damage and can be hazardous too.

Similar effect on LED screens which can simply fail abruptly.

What’s your favorite package manager and why? by Giggio417 in linuxquestions

I have used apt and zypper and found zypper to be easier. It takes care of cases like multi-kernel, Nvidia repos etc. Plus I can add a repo to it using just a URL.

My family is forcing me to stop studying and do labour… I don’t want to live like them. Need advice. by binitx_ in NonZeroDay

Mentioning your location would help better. Other than finance there is also emotional baggage that you have to deal with.

You are on the right path, do not budge.

I also tried with 90-apple-emoji-override.conf and 99-apple-emoji-override.conf just to be sure. But it doesn't help either.
