  • Yeah, my son convinced me to try having one monitor vertical. His (Windows 10) is close to right, but dragging a window across the gap and you have 2 different size windows. Compared to my computer (LMDE) and it is truly scaled correctly, the window is the same size on any monitor and while travelling between them.

    Still not sure how I feel about a vertical monitor though, it’s great for documentation but just feels so unnatural.




  • I hated yaml with every fiber of my being when first had to use it, but I really wanted to use HomeAssistant and see what I could do with it. I hated it a bit less when I started using docker compose. I started loving it when I started using it as a way to explain json to non-programming IT types, trying to explain it without braces and brackets seems to get across easier. I guess its more human readable, but as a result formatting has to be spot on (those indents and spaces replace the need for brackets and braces).

    One useful trick if you truly hate it but need it, write it in json, then just use a converter to change that into yaml.




  • I’m with you. While I’ve never been diagnosed as autistic, I do not pick up on social cue’s ever. It’s hard to explain how much better the world would seem (to me, at least) if people would just say what they mean. While being too forward could be misinterpreted as being rude, there is no room to miss a secret message when being direct.
