what is the best font for

- reading, - just looking at, - efficiency in printing


Why just copy the code by yourself?


It's true, static sites are low energy.


The only thing that gave me hope


You can use devdocs


I was just using devdocs a minute ago and couldn't find anything on event listeners :(


If it's on mdn, I bet it's on dev docs, they are just archive


The Bell Telephone Laboratories—an example of an institute of creative technology By Mervtn J. K elly

is a good read


How are the references sorted?


Why is Ubuntu always the choice, why not fedora or opensuse?


Because Canonical invested in it and they didn't.


In some sense, this question answers itself: the most important distro to support is the most popular distro in the space.


I can think of two reasons:

1. Ubuntu invested very heavily into making Linux friendly to a whole generation of makers when nobody else was. Ubuntu is most familiar to them. Canonical will benefit from that investment for the foreseeable future.

2. Ubuntu benefits from Debian's debootstrap which makes porting to a new architecture substantially easier.


debootstrap (or mmdebstrap) is just for installing the already existing binary packages. The bootstrap process for bringing up a new port is a lot more work.

The reason why Ubuntu is probably that they are a commercial vendor so you can make contracts with them, while the likes of Debian just work on what they care about when they have time.


Ubuntu has historically had a business model that is more open to supporting out-of-tree kernel patches


Because Debian has been one of the first distributions supporting RISC-V and ubuntu is simply using packages from it.


Using Revanced YouTube greatly improved yt experience, and for some reason yt is suggesting a lot of small channel with great videos


>and for some reason yt is suggesting a lot of small channel with great videos

It's been this way for half a year now, at least for me (YMMV). Some absolute gems I've found this way. The YouTube algorithm isn't really as bad as many people think...


Why why, It's all gone now


Is there any software that let me make graphical user interface to a connected database, allows me to make data visualizations, all things automatic and interactive? Like a node editor or spreadsheet?


In theory Retool would be this, but it's clunky for the interface designer - namely, it assumes you might have different custom read and write paths, so it makes you jump through hoops in setting up a Cell Change Handler linked to a Query that writes to the database. See: https://community.retool.com/t/auto-save-table/16044

Airtable's interface builder is more reasonable in that it ensures that you're always looking at real-time data, and saves happen and propagate to all users whenever you change a character - but this requires that the canonical data live in Airtable. And setting up sync with external systems is clunky. I'm hopeful that people build better tools on top of Electric, because it's ridiculous that we live in 2024 and we don't have interfaces like this out of the box.


Sounds like PowerBI
