Given that there’s no proof he exists and (if you’re a Bible person) he claimed he’d be back before the original followers in 0 CE would die, he’s well behind on his own schedule. He’s about as fast as California High Speed Rail or any small construction project in Germany.
Once Cali HSR is finished, your “Lord” would consider taking it to SF for some R&R.
Highlight->Middle paste has been my friend for decades now. Using it from SunOS in the 90-s to now has been a great feature. It’s the quickest way to copy and paste while I’m working fast with text or data entry.
I love having both clipboards be functional. The latest rounds of tools that have stopped being as compatible with it has been no end of problems in my workflow. I’ll copy with the keyboard, highlight some text and then paste both clipboards somewhere else.
No, using the keyboard here isn’t as fast, don’t bother making that argument, especially since ctrl-c means different things in different places on Unix style systems. Left hand stays home row while the right is forced to leave for the mouse since it’s a GUI.
I’ve had to deal with many tools that don’t respect keyboard cut/paste as well. Add in that some tools like putty or git bash on windows have ctrl-ins for paste?
Panning in CAD/design is usually click and hold middle or even a two button system (freecad), so trying to take a middle click for that isn’t buying uniformity.
The copy/paste world is already fractured enough. Keep the highlight/middle click working so we can go fast. I might be a dinosaur, but I’m a fast dinosaur.
What? No way. I despise their captive scrolling stuff. Every time I get forced onto a windows system I forget that middle mouse is a weird scrolling mode and end up wandering randomly up and down pages until I realize what happened.
The biggest limitation on the older models is RAM. There’s other issues with network contention (the Ethernet is actually a USB device on the board), raw CPU (especially gen 1 boards), but really it’s all about the RAM.
I use these kinds of boards for more hardware/embedded kinds of situations. No GUI Linux machines will easily run in 200-400MB of RAM before you start spinning up additional services or tools.
If you’re really RAM blocked you can use a more stripped down Linux install or even hop to BSD and run real lean on resources for the OS. All of these options can still run most network services or simple build/dev kinds of support systems. They could be message queue servers, run GPIO-driven hardware systems, be sensor platforms, run DNS/DHCP/PiHole kinds of systems, be a speaker driver endpoint for a larger system, bong a clock sound every hour, or whatever. That’s just what I could come up with while typing on the fly. If you start adding hardware to the IO ports it just goes nuts what even the older boards are capable of.
Cocktails. Just need some bottles.
I agree with jay: unless you’re already an EU citizen, you’ll need to look at the visas and immigration rules for each of the countries more than just which languages to focus on.
I don’t know a lot about their immigration rules or LGBTQ+ situations. I moved to Germany because of the work visa options I had at the time.
I’ve brought up dating and going out to my kids because finding a partner in life really does help people be happier in the long run.
What we’ve never done is to say anyone should be married or have children. That’s 100% their choice. I’ve raised kids, I don’t need grandkids running around on my behalf. Kids are energy suckers and expensive. I love them, and am well aware of how much they cost me. No one should have that forced upon them. You do you.
Huge hugs from a dad who just wants you to be happy in your own way.
Berlin is such a melting pot. “Whatever, just wash your hands and recycle that trash properly.”
Mülltrennung (waste separation) is a big deal in Germany.
Actually, I haven’t tried it yet. It’s on the list for a visit, though.
Captured is for people at war. Kidnapped is the right term for what happened here.
Yes! Also quite tasty. Sehr lecker.
I like it much more than my kids, but I’ve always been a huge fan of wraps.
We’re doing our part! We moved to Berlin from the US. Brought two STEM phds and four kids with us. The kids are all going to university (now or will be soon).
Aside from learning new papierkram skills the real only problem has been finding ways to not eat döner every day.
Berlin is up to about 30% first and second generation immigrants. It’s very international. It’s the second largest city in the world for Turkish populations after Istanbul.
You’re spot on here. The list there was heavily subsidized by government funding. NIH, DARPA, NSF, NASA, etc made those be discovered and initially refined. Many are still heavily subsidized by government funding.
There’s an initial investment stage that takes risk, but after that, it’s mostly about refinement and efficiency. Capitalism tries to exploit those government funds then spread the risk followed by retreading old ideas for new dollars. Capitalism invents few things because it’s risky. It’s really good at monopolizing existing things and eventually driving the efficiency of exploitation to the umpteenth degree.
I only do technical CAD design, so FreeCAD works fine. It’s no AutoDesk, but it has gotten good for my project scale.
Slicing is done with Cura.
Printing I’m mostly living off copying to SD card like a barbarian, but I’ve used Octoprint on a Raspberry Pi board in the past. I even had the time lapse camera videos working. It was a nice setup.
Some of my kids do more advanced sculpture work with Blender and other tools.
I was handed a Windows laptop. I used it for a few weeks and then quietly just upgraded to a personal Linux machine. It’s been six months and no one cares. Fine with me.
Here’s the dumb part: nothing beyond old men wanting to grab power.
I was on the Tesla 3 waiting list many years ago. When I hit the top of the list I wasn’t totally ready to buy it just yet so I stalled. Eventually I got moved to the Tesla Y list and again waited while family things sorted out. In the end, I got my reservation money back and I’m very very very glad that I didn’t buy:
Drove the 2004 Subaru until we sold it and moved to a country where we don’t need a car at all. Much better way of life.
Oh! You mean being somewhere with neighborhood scale markets, not just “fuck WalMart”. (Which deserves it).
Yeah, Europe is mostly still rolling relatively small grocery stores of various makes and models. Go to a major Germany city on a mapping app and search for lebensmittel (groceries). You’ll get them everywhere.
I just got back from walking the 80 yards to our local grocery store for a few things to cover tomorrow while I work from home. Total time 20 minutes for shopping because I wandered a bit. It’s wonderfully easy and relaxing compared to when I would do a multi hour Costco->WinCo weekly trip in the US that included dealing with all the driving and stress of huge stores.
I miss Costco’s polish dogs, but that’s about it. The move to Europe was well worth it.
I don’t know every detail of your use cases, but my offline go to is xournal++ (xournalpp).
I use it for many of those actions. We moved to Germany and having a GUI pdf editor for signing, highlighting, redacting, pulling pages, etc has been invaluable.
My wife also uses it for her class lectures. She does math, so she uses a tablet to write on her slides (pdfs) live in class to talk through the material. Then, she saves the lecture PDF to give to students with the notes.
