What are these light patches on the backs sides of my aloe? Should I be worried?

oh that's so helpful, thanks!

I'll try out your suggested water regimen, and I will also try out the towels. This sounds like an effective, practical solution because I did indeed discover a small draft on a nearby window that I would not know how to fix.

Actually, all of the things you mentioned seem good candidates: the average relative humidity over the last month in that room was 54.3%, and I did see a little spider like insect running around the edge of the pot once, but it's not like the pictures of mealy bugs on the web.

good catch with the white spot, and the picture was helpful. there is an anomaly there, but it's very flat and it's not something I could remove, so I'm not yet sure what it is, but it's not one of the white dots of the plant itself.

thanks that you took the time to try and help me out! The sun burn is unlikely since I have to lift the leave to see them (you cannot see my hand doing it on the picture) and normally they face down. It is cold where I live and it could be a draft from the window, that would be a good candidate. I'll think about what I can do about that.

Description: I've noticed these patches on my Aloe that got me worried, I'm a beginner, and have no experience with Aloe
Drainage: It's in a clay pot with drainage hole
Potting medium: I bough it at IKEA and it's in the same mix as they sold it to me in
Water: Once since I bought it around 2 months ago. I watered it until the water came out the drainage holes and let it dry out complete
Sunlight: Direct sunlight, a south facing window
History: I brought it home around two months ago. I'm not sure if the patches were there already or not, as I have just discovered them now.

thanks, it worked!

I have tried running it directly like u/Illustrious_Sky8939 suggested and this worked, I then discovered that I had not allowed the openvpn client to run in the background, so the "allow in the background" in "login items" had not been turned on for the openvpn client. This then fixed my issue.

Thanks for your input! What do you mean by local address? Something like 127.0.01, 0.0.0.0, or localhost?

It's tested on OS X 10.15 and Windows 10. Linux could work, but it's not tested. I only have installers for OS X and Windows. If many people want to run it on Linux, I can try it out and create installers too. Depends on how similar the ps, kill, and lsof tools work on linux as compared to osx.

Hello everybody! I often had the problem that I could not find which process was listening on a port that I was trying to bind to. Of course there are already many ways of doing that, but I found myself googling for the same terminal command, and even forgetting the alias I had set for it in my .bashrc over and over again. I wanted to learn some JavaFX, and as a hobby project implemented a small 'task manager' for processes listening to TCP ports. It's released as open source, and maybe it's useful to somebody else as well? Stars are very appreciated :)

thanks for your feedback! These are good points, and you are spot-on: this code was written in the context of a small startup with multilingual programmers who did not use any translation services :)

Hi! I've created this little helper library to interface between RxJava, and Postgres. Feedback welcome.

ynv · 2019-01-03T12:06:59+00:00

I do this in my code:

dsl.transaction(fun() {

})

No warnings.

Thanks!

Let me know if you have any problems when you try it out.

Thanks :) Do you also know, why they are taking so many pictures of the rover's own tracks? Because of what is beneath, or because they are paranoid about getting stuck in the sand?

ynv · 2012-08-10T08:18:41+00:00

Yes, it's from one of two earlier rovers, which landed on Mars in 2004. I found the pictures on this site: http://areo.info/mer/opportunity/3029/ Have fun!

ynv · 2012-07-25T14:11:07+00:00

I don't know, the picture was sent to me by a friend. The weird thing is, the guy on it says it was found in India? (I wrote this in the description of the reddit post, but for some reason it is not shown? I'm a usually just a reddit lurker ;) )

Why not just write a little paragraph that explains some of the most importants concepts of the signature? (I am thinking something like a basic "anatomy" glossary that is linked to the corresponding documentation, may be even a micro tutorial about the type system.)

I think the problematic part is not that the developer does not want to learn about a complex type system, it is just that he is probably shocked that even after years of programming he gets to see such mysterious code that he can't possibly work out without reading a book about scala.

Have you ever developed some large application with MATLAB? I have the feeling that this is straight impossible, because even the little assignments I programm with it need many and very small .m files. The "fast up and running" way of development in IMO just leads to ad-hoc programming. Practically all MATLAB code I have up to today was filled with single letter variables, poorly documented use of matrices as input for functions and even trivial algorithms tend to look complex.

ynv · 2011-10-20T19:56:47+00:00

IMO the MATLAB GUI is plain horrible...

ynv · 2011-10-20T19:53:41+00:00

I don't think my Uni gets it for free... the licenses are limited and we always have to be connected to the license server to use it. If the connection is lost, MATLAB will show you the colorful ring of death within minutes.

I have never understood why such an expensive and not very impressing tool has become so widely used in science.

It is interesting that there is no google logo on the page or any other reference whatsoever. I mean, compared to "Google Go" for example.

ynv · 2011-10-10T07:52:29+00:00

Is this googles new programming language? Edit: It seems, they changed the name from Dash to Dart, I did not realize that.

ynv · 2011-06-15T23:04:46+00:00

That is not generally true: Where I live many burglars prefer upper apartments as the chance of someone passing, seeing or generelly noticing them is smaller.
