Hey, my Slav neighbour charges his Model 3 that way!

Now, in all seriousness, EVs are for houses, not apartment buildings. If you have a driveway, and want an EV - by all means go for one.

But if you live in an apartment block where it's hard to even find parking after 7pm, then stick to ICE now.

I can’t picture objects or colour, but have vivid dreams. Also it’s normal for me to hold conversations with myself in my head. Post-covid I had a few days with no inner “voice” and it was terribly lonely.

Rails 7.1 Released 3 years ago

I recently set up a new Win11 laptop and all it took was download Node and install it via the installer. You’re up and running in 90 seconds. Yarn was another 30 seconds (npm i yarn). Even Ruby works well with RubyInstaller, and you can normally develop Rails without WSL if you really want to.

This is obviously not a popular opinion, but: I think this is great news. In the world of Meta dominating social media (+ TikTok now de facto in 2nd spot), we need diversity in the field.

Twitter (X) definitely changed in the past year, but I see it as a positive change (maybe it's my bubble) - my tech feed is no longer polluted by people fighting about left vs right, Trump etc, my feed is now tech people sharing tech-related content and I love it.

I see this with course creators as well. I reported dozens of errors in a particular corse and the creator was literally annoyed at me.

A missing person was found after a drone pilot from Croatian Mountain Rescue Service noticed his legs moving in a ditch.

Either amazing zoom and lenses on that drone, or the pilot has great eyesight. Either way, interesting story and glad to hear a life was saved.

As an inexperienced and anxious driver (from a tiny suburban / village area / town), Street View (and its alternatives) are god sent to me.

I up front plan my trip, every twist and turn, especially in densely populated areas. I'm not used to driving in dense urban environments with multi-lane streets, so knowing what's gonna happen, when, and how it's going to look is immensely important to me to keep my anxiety under control.

As a late-30’s dev who plays competitive daily, this is the most frustrating thing in my day, but also the best way for me to vent out daily frustrations.

I strongly dislike this. My grandparents are on Android and they are driven mad by every site pushing them notifications, 24/7. We're talking about non-tech people, 70+ years old. I ended up turning off notifications for them altogether because I couldn't find a fix. On iOS this is easy, Safari won't have access to notifications on my phone.

Depending on what sort of crypto projects they worked on, you might be missing on amazing Golang devs experienced in building large, distributed systems. Remember: sometimes the programming language you love is used in a certain type of industry.

So many tech sites call for boycott of Twitter (see Engadget) yet they actively post on Twitter to their massive audiences. Put your money where your mouth is and delete all your corporate Twitter accounts.
