There are Uber, taxi and other public transportation. You can get high with your friends and don't drive. Just plan ahead.


This.

If you are drunk, high, tired af, or just sleepy, stop being a danger for others. A car is a hunk of metal going at high speed, stop being a child about it.


Fix the system, because you cant fix the people


In the city yeah, I believe most drunk driving accidents happen in places and times where uber would be too overpriced or public transport too inconvenient


Is there any RSS reader that is also able to subscribe to newsletters in some way? There are lot of contents that are only provided as newsletters nowadays and I wanted to be able to read my feed and newsletters in the same app, without going into my mail inbox.


You can subscribe to newsletters with any RSS reader nowadays, but it’s a multi step process requiring the use of an external (free) tool.

1. Create a feed on https://kill-the-newsletter.com/. This will also give you a custom email address to send your newsletter to.

2. Subscribe to the newsletter with the custom email address and add the feed you created to your reader.

This setup works very well for me with NetNewsWire though there is friction in the multiple steps. No affiliation with either, just a satisfied user.


I, too, use kill-the-newsletter to convert newsletters to rss and it works amazingly well.


There are projects which generate web feeds for websites that don't have one.

https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub


If you want everything in one place, and you're using email already, then it sounds like you want one of the various rss2email projects.

Feed entries then become emails which sit in your inbox/folders alongside your existing [emailed] newsletters.

(I prefer this approach myself, I can filter and search via my mail client, and manage state easily.)


inoreader has that on some of their pay tiers. i use my own self host freshrss instance and https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to accomplish the same.


Many can accept forwarded emails and some will offer an email address you can use to subscribe to newsletters. I prefer the former because you can cancel the forward rule if you don't want to continue with a given rss app or service.


Feedly has this. You can generate a unique email address for each newsletter. Pretty sure you'll need pay. I'm on a lifetime sub.


Kill the Newsletter was suggested above, but Newsblur has a built-in support for newsletters.


It is not mutually exclusive tho


It's about priorities. I value clear and direct communication, and getting the job done, way more than mere politeness.

Politeness is not the end goal. It is a means to that goal, if and when it enables people to communicate more effectively and with less friction.


Are you using qwerty still?


I'm still using QWERTY yes, but I use US/UK keyboard layout for coding, and others for writing messages (SWE/JP for me).

I realized that it didn't make much sense when I already have 3 QWERTY mappings in my head, and moving all of those 3 mappings to Dvorak / Colemak when those two are based on ergonomics pattern of the English language, when I type in 3 languages.


FWIW I also used the Swedish/English split before I completely changed my layout on a split keyboard. (I still use both US and SWE layout on laptops though.)


One of the problems is that vim is so entrenched with the QWERTY layout that any shortcut is too cumbersome in colemak


I've used colemak and vim (well kakoune nowadays) for over a decade. The only change I've needed is changing : to ,


... or dvorak.


In the case of Brazil, besides QR codes, you can also make payments using the user unique key, which can be its phone number, social security number, email or a random generated key.

And you can also use the bank account number, effectively replacing older bank transfer mechanisms like DOC and TED.


How do you properly configure a logger in application like that?


Just imagine a callsite that configured a logger in another way, and then imports the utils module for a single function: its configuration getting overridden by the one in utils.

There are plenty of ways to structure code so this does not happen, but simply "do not do anything at the top module level" will ensure you don't hit these issues.


Usually you would do it in your main function, or a code path starting from there. Executing code with non-local side effects during import is generally frowned upon. Maybe it's fine for a project-local module that won't be shared, but it's a bad habit and can make it had to track down.


Afaik thumbnails have already been fixed in gnome


https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4379

Do they actually generate a thumbnail or do they just show the available ones? Honestly I don't follow the issue I just know that thumbnails have been an absolute mess in gnome as long as I remember.


> Do they actually generate a thumbnail or do they just show the available ones?

I haven't tested it, but either way the current plan is to replace the GTK file picker with Nautilus in a "file picker" mode. So if it is a problem it should in theory be fixed with that.

The year of the linux desktop is closing in! :) Well its good that they are working on it.


Any other podcast recommendation? I usually listen to darknet diaries and recently discovered hacked.


Risky Business is also great. Along with Malicious Life and Modem Mischief.


Blue wavelength does have an effect on sleep. The photoreceptors linked to the suppression of melatonin are most sensitive to blue light. And melatonin is associated with the sleep-cycle regulation.
