This probably wasn't a bug. I experienced the same last week but it was because I ran the backup command from a different directory. I've created a note saying:

`restic backup -v -r <location>/<repo_name> <source_dir>`

first `cd` to the parent directory of the `source_dir` to avoid too many nested directories in the repository and conflicts in the mounting point path (so that the file change detection of restic works when mounting the drive to be backed up at another point)


In Germany they sell these LED Panels, though not with the same dimensions used for their curtain installations. But unfortunately it looks like they are discontinuing these products. I just searched for "LED Panel" on their website and all listings say "Letzte Chance! Nur noch kurze Zeit erhältlich." (Last chance! Still available for a short time only).


What I also find very annoying is that the Outlook app even embeds a whole browser (with GUI; is it Edge?). It makes me furious to be forced to use the embedded browser when opening links in emails instead of a preferred, already installed browser. I mean... what advantage has it to use an embedded browser? I lose my cookies/sessions, browser extensions, passwords, and the usability is worse than of my preferred browser.


What context are you seeing an embedded browser in?


In my opinion this is even worse when searching for GitHub issues on Google. I prefer searching for issues on Google but since last year there are so many results of websites that show nothing else than crawled GitHub issues. No idea why they are higher ranked than the original GitHub issues. These results don't link to the original issue on GitHub, are often outdated, have bad UX (e.g. the code snippets), and don't allow participating in the discussion.


No idea why they are higher ranked than the original GitHub issues.

Not to be too cynical about it, but who serves the ads on those sites?

If it's Google Ads, then I think you have your answer as to why they are higher ranked.


My theory is github is getting down ranked due to performance. When you view an issue on github the page gets built from mysql queries and can be slow for large issues. gitmemory and the others just serve the content they scraped, so they load much faster.


Seems like they would ignore that "performance" parameter for major information sites like github/reddit/stack/etc


Genuinely curious to know now..


Or it could be because Google dislikes MS owning so much developer mindspace.


You can use site: or inurl: (or a combination) to constrain the search to GitHub.


Often just putting the site name (e.g. "github.com") at the end of the query is enough to do that for me.


Is it really common to say "I have a relationship"? I would instinctively say "I am in a relationship". Maybe though it is also because my mother tongue is German and in Germany people say "Ich bin in einer Beziehung".


My mother tongue is also German, so maybe I picked a wrong example for this :D A better one would be "I have a partner" maybe? I've read it some time ago, so I don't remember the exact examples, but you get the idea.


> Fully agree on Pandas. R's native data frame + tidyverse is world's easier. Pandas' overly complex indexing system is a persistent source of annoyance no matter how much I use that library.

Is it just the syntax/readability that annoys you, or are there actually problems that need like n steps more to do the same with Pandas?


I spend more time working around panda's strange isms than it takes me to write vanilla python that does the same thing. The index problems are not just a small annoyances, and sometimes can waste hours because of its awkward defaults. For example, its default in df.to_csv to write an index (without a column name..)! It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever that reading a csv, then writing the csv would add a new column. I'm really tired of rerunning pandas code after I forget to turn that stupid default index setting off. Is that a small thing? Sure. But it had tons of small things like that.


It's funny you complain about the index being saved in csv files, which is the default behaviour in R.


Not in tidyverse, but yeah indexes in pandas are a souped up version of rownames in base R.


They wrote something about it here: https://spectrum-os.org/motivation.html



> I was told “you work for the internet now”

Whoever said that, such wise words.

Never thought of it this way, but it truly reflects how it feels to work on open-source projects; no national, religious or corporate boundaries to honor is just liberating!


The Docker homepage (https://www.docker.com/) is even worse. It takes minutes in my case when I press on "Essential Cookies only". And this is reproducible. It's like this for more than a year now.


For me (stable connection, EU), after selecting "Essential Cookies only", the "processing" takes:

* About 8 seconds on Docker Hub

* About 32 seconds on Starbucks


Even more fun, when I actually dig down to advanced settings I can't turn of some cookies like: "Bizible - Do Not Use bizible.com No Opt Out Mechanism Bizible enables you to drill deep on settled and projected ROI of online advertising, so you can make data-driven budget decisions based on revenue."

Umm what is going on with that one?

Or why doesn't Facebook support opting out here?


Yes, 40sec on firefox for "essential cookies only"; accept all is instantaneous.


What browser are you running? It took me ~20 seconds on Firefox.


Still ridiculous when it is ~2-3sec with ‘Accept’.
