[Lighthearted content] Numbers often used to make silly jokes around Europe
  • The number refers to the reported time of death of pope John Paul II, 9:37 PM or 21:37, as Poland uses a 24 hour system. The use of the number is connected with memes about the late pope, as there was almost a cult folllowing for JP2, noone was allowed to even criticize him, after his death, with time popped out evidence of the pope not being such a great person, so people started meme'ing on him.

  • Learning about electronics
  • Man, that was a great read, from simple beginnings to selling your product. Thanks for the thorough explanation, I definitely don't plan to sell anything, I was considering learning electronics as a hobby, but it's good to know where to start if it ever comes to that.

  • Learning about electronics

    Hello! What would be a good way to learn about electronics in terms of creating them? I'm particularly interested in building my own keyboards and other PC peripherals, but I'm not sure what tools I would need, or what's a good knowledge base if I run into any issues. Any tips and or suggestions?

    Switching monitors between two machines

    Hello! I'm in a situation, where I have a work laptop and a personal computer, the latter is used mostly for gaming. In order to switch between them I have to plug all the peripherals from one machine to the other, to help with that I bought a dock, to which I can connect everything, and connect the dock via one USB-C cable. The trouble begins with the monitors, as my laptop supports thunderbolt, but my motherboard doesn't, so it's a bit of a chore to switch them.

    To alleviate the issue I'm considering changing my motherboard to one that has thunderbolt 4 support, as I have one 4K monitor and one full HD, and I've read it should support them fine on one cable. Is this a good solution? I'm thinking I might run into some issues with monitors not being connected directly to my GPU, latency or otherwise.

    I beseech thee for help o masters of the PC.

    Deadlift stagnation at 90kg
  • Easiest solution would be to work on your grip, you could use those hand grip tools that you squeeze. I personally don't like lifting in gloves, I feel like the bar slips more, especially when my hands get sweaty, you could try to use chalk and see if there's a difference. In the past I also had trouble gripping, but it was due to a tightness in my shoulder, a nerve was getting pinched, so I couldn't hold a tight grip too long. If all else fails I'd suggest going to a physiotherapist to see if there aren't any issues in your arm. In any case good luck, keep it up!

  • Which learning path makes the most amount of sense?
  • As a front-end developer with 10 years of experience, I'd suggest going with JavaScript. It's one language for both stacks, you can learn the core front and back end ideologies, and if you decide to go with a different language for back-end, it shouldn't take too much time to learn afterwards. From my experience it would be easier both to learn and potentially to get a job in the field.
