I feel like my vibe when it comes to tech can be repeatedly summarized as "I am really happy using $X; it's basically perfect for me! it has a couple shortcomings $Y and $Z which would make it completely impractical for most people, but they don't bother me a bit"

Dear Internet,

I have old-fashioned passive speakers, you know, twisted raw ends of speaker wire on both sides. I want a device that accepts computer audio input (3.5mm jack) and has two such speaker outputs, so I can play audio from my laptop on the speakers.

Where to find?

Have seen a lattepappa who's out jogging with a stroller containing a sleeping human baby, several times, on the bicycle/pedestrian road. I wonder if it's the same lattepappa every time.

Finally finished my first #rust project, after 683 projects that I started and never got managed to finish.

And yes, it's barely 50 lines and most of it is slightly modified copy-pasted code, but hey, `cargo run` runs fine. Definitely room for improvements though.

#delightfulclub is a static website that brings together all #delightful lists!

And yes, of course it uses #simplecss by @kev :)

Pinging @humanetech =D

TIL if you try to initialise a `StringBuilder` with a char && a capacity it will actually silently convert your char to int use the `StringBuilder(int capacity, int maxCapacity)` overload.

Death to implicit conversion except during assignment! #csharp

One our Aeropress’ has been sitting in a cupboard for a while and when I went to clean it yesterday the rubber seal thing was covered in a viscous amber liquid that couldn’t be cleaned except via oil and now the Aeropress no longer has an airtight seal.

What happened?
