I have quite different observations. IKEA's Zigbee devices are the least stable devices I own and with smaller feature set.

For example, I have more than a dozen Zigbee smart outlet around my home, and the IKEA one is the only one that ever hang and became uncontrollable, yet its also the only one without a physical button to toggle and without power monitoring.

One of IKEA's Zigbee remote controls I have also regularly drops connection and I have to remove its battery to reset it from time to time.

The ones I bought from AliExpress of unknown brands are, unfortunately, much cheaper, have more functionalities, and more reliable.

I’m currently setting up Hyprland—it’s my first experience with a tiling window manager.

One alternative way I’ve been testing recently: load the entire csv file into a single row column in Postgres, and the use a view to parse it into lines and values. Then cache the result with a materialized view. 16mb, 500k rows (formula 1 laptimes) takes only a few seconds to load and map to materialized view records.

What do you mean by "row column in Postgres"? It's confusing. Could you please clarify that?

I can't recommend MAPS.ME enough. It's an iOS app based on OpenStreetMap. The amount of details is overwhelming, compared to Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Old Reddit Redirect. Reddit is pretty much unusable without this thing.

Thank you, Greenpeace ... Putin is laughing at you, idiots from western Europe.

Have they solved mouse scroll speed issue? As far as I know, you have to do some nasty tricks to adjust in certain type of applications. It works horribly with high dpi monitors though.

I was surprised to find an expression I've never heard before:

cock-a-hoop: adjective, extremely and obviously pleased, especially about a triumph or success.

"Ukrainian commanders are cock-a-hoop. They say HIMARS is tilting the war back in their favour"

Several military bloggers have also said Ukrainian partisans behind Russian lines are providing GPS targeting information of where Russians try to hide the ammo dumps

The targeting information is provided from satellite images - no need to risk peoples lives.
