I have converted 'RJ11 phone plugs' to Ethernet in multiple rentals to the delight of the landlord. One should also not that event Cat 5 can carry 1Gbps (instead of 100Mpbs) and Car 5e can carry 10Gbps (instead of 1Gbps) depending on the length and other factors such as which switch is used.

I recently made some changes to a website generated by a non-technical user using Dreamweaver. The initial state was quite poor, with inline CSS and what appeared to be haphazard copy-pasting within a WYSIWYG editor.

Although I’m not proficient in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, I have some understanding of what good code looks like. Through several iterations, I managed to complete the task in a single evening, which would have required me a week or two to relearn and apply the necessary skills. Not only the code is better organised, it’s half the size and the website looks better.

Quite simply, I may have to login into a server on a high pressure time sensitive environment, think downtime. I want to maintain my vim skills at a level that allow me to focus on the issue. It's also why I use bash and GNU coreutils on my MacBook Pro.

I have been using an ortho-linear for years now. I programmed it in a way so that the layout is not too different from a regular keyboard. I like it very much, but because I use a laptop I often switch to a "regular" keyboard (MacBook Pro 2016). I find this ok, and I still appreciate the comfort of the ortholinear.

By showing what is possible with an ARM CPU in terms of performance/power efficiency ratio on the CPU. Apple may trigger an increase of investment in ARM technology. The wave will not happen overnight. Intel has opportunities to adapt. But their are a lot of corporates (and consumers) that are waiting switch to greener, more power efficient computing.

> That was probably a fair assessment a decade ago, but Linux seriously "just works" now.

My anecdotal experience tells me otherwise. During confinement, I tried to install OpenSUSE on an old laptop I had around for the kids to do their classes online. The laptop kept losing wifi credentials. Able, but not wanting to, troubleshoot I proceeded to install Unbuntu. That was all good until I went on the GUI to enable auto-login. Now I cannot log in. Not big issues, I have the skills to fix it but not the time.

When I learned skydiving in the early 2000s, I did about 50 skydive jumps; I was still a rookie. In France, where I learned, I found the industry very well regulated with the highest security standards. I am glad I was able to enjoy this in the safest possible conditions.

I understood it as: how is it that education is a privilege?

I have done strength training without a coach for 6 years. My squat went up to 185kg/407lb without any injuries. You can do it, and depending on the coach, you may be better doing it alone. However, with a good coach (not easy to find) you will progress much faster. I recently started competing and found a good coach, I wish I had found him earlier.

Being a non-native English speaker (edit: my native language is French) leaving in South-East Asian I can attest to two things:

- peoples accent improves in the first months of them practicing (with you).

- my understanding of non-native English speaker (Thai, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, etc) improved in weeks of exposure.

So I don't think anti-discrimination laws are harmful. The situation may not be as confortable for a few weeks but eventually it does not get on the way of productivity.

edit: added my native language, French

On the other hand I don’t understand how Apple approved the Amazon Prim and YouTube Apple TV apps. The UX are horrible and I would rather not use them.
