My house is operating at around 3,5-4 bar after the pressure regulator. Since I have no gauge I can‘t deliver the pressure of the supply. I guess it is around 6 bar. Small town in Germany.

We also have mandatory check valves since a couple of years to prevent water from entering the supply from the buildings in case the pressure drops.

This reminds me of a colleague who was always ranting that our code was not documented well enough. He did not understand that documenting code in easily understandable sentences for everybody would fill whole books and that a normal person would not be able to keep the code path in his mental stack while reading page after page. Then he wanted at least the shortest possible summary of the code, which of course is the code itself.

The guy basically did not want to read the code to understand the logic behind. When I took an hour and literally read the code for him and explained what I was reading including the well placed comments here and there everything was clear.

AI is like this in my opinion. Some guys waste hours to generate code they can’t debug for days because they don’t understand what they read, while it would take maybe two hours to think and a day to implement and test to get the job done.

I don’t like this trend. It’s like the people that can’t read docs or texts anymore. They need some random person making a 43 minute YouTube video to write code they don’t understand. Taking shortcuts in life usually never goes well in the long run. You have to learn and refine your skills each and every day to be and stay competent.

AI is a tool in our toolbox. You can use it to be more productive. And that’s it.

When our first cat died, number two also acted very weird. He was searching his buddy for weeks without stopping. After a while we brought him company, since his mental Health seemed to be on a decline. Having a new kitten helped him out of this situation and now he has a new best friend 😁

Still miss our first one 🥹

I once told my daughter that a star that is only visible to grown ups appears on her forehead when she is lying. Soon she started to hide her forehead when lying 😂

Even today - although older - I ask her to show me her forehead and I can read her reaction like a book

What blows my mind is the (muscle) memory involved in this. I’m using touchscreen based phones for ~10-15 years and my last phones had a QWERTY keyboard (Hardware buttons!).

can still write texts like I never stopped using these phones. Using T9 I may be even faster than on my smartphone today. I really miss those tactile buttons…

Holes in socks make me crazy. I learned it the hard way focusing all my energy of a whole day on one damn hole…

Since then I always change them ASAP. Usually my socks wear evenly. So most of the time they are worn completely when there is a hole and it doesn’t make any sense to repair them.

They will get a last wash and land in a bin in my garage where I use worn clothes instead of paper towels. Socks are very handy for dirty stuff like holding motorcycle chains.

Imagine someone putting an array of intentionally reflective mini satellites into orbit and then relocate them into mini B/W images just for fun. Or more realistically for advertisement purposes…

The fact that there are multiple persons with the capability to do this is crazy.

It looks like she never sprinted 100m before in her life the way she breaks down at the end. At least they could have trained her a couple of weeks. Must’ve felt awful. Poor thing

Good to see I’m not the only one who was reminded of the Debian logo 😂

Microsoft is doing anything to push me towards Linux…

I understand it from a business perspective. They make the user more dependent and can earn more money. But the day you force me to store MY business data on some cloud servers which do not belong to me you lose me as a customer.

Maybe I should load my old Nixos config and have a look how my Laptop is doing now 😉
