Oh hey, I just saw you had already posted pretty much the same recommendation I had in mind. I’d personally 3d print an attachment, but your solution is readily available for everyone and cheap. Kudos!

Granite counter tops also rest on a sturdy base, the caulk used to attach them doesn’t have to resist a lot of force trying to push the slab around, the caulk is mostly there to prevent liquids spilling into the cabinets and to provide a decent appearance. Yes, the caulk also somewhat attaches the slab, but keep in mind how hard it is to move to begin with, given the weight of the counter top.

Here, the weight of the glass door pulls the panel out of the rails via the hinges. Silicone won’t provide a lasting solution.

I can only confirm what ballskicker and Shadow said - I’d remove the old caulk both mechanically and with the help of a solvent and then caulk it back in.

However, I’m also pretty sure it will eventually sag again without the help of a retaining mechanism.

Given the pictures you posted (which might not provide the full context), I assume someone really just caulked a glass panel into the profiles and left it at that. I assume you would like to avoid drilling the glass (can be done, but is tricky and has the potential to create a mess pretty quickly), so I’d simply manufacture a retaining cap that closes off the profile and holds the glass panel in place. I’d drill a hole into the ceiling to hold the cap in place, or into the profile, depending on the material and the remaining situation at hand.

I’m talking about mounting that right here, after sliding the glass back in / caulking, of couse:

If I remember correctly, you should be able to just install the GitHub version.

Honestly, if you’re in the audience for Thunderbird on Android, you probably also want to have a look at FairMail instead.

Edit: phrasing

I shudder to think OP’s post was written by an actual person…

What’s a good way to financially support artists directly, without involving shady corporations, and without resorting to piracy?

Side note: please don’t abuse the word “toxic” until it becomes absolutely meaningless. Let’s keep that to a more fitting context, having a

I was expressing an obviously personal opinion about the language itself, which is objectively a dull, barren wasteland that sucks out your soul while you walk it. That is precisely the reason why it’s so widespread and loved by business entities and managers - there is no excitement, no surprises, just an everlasting monotony of keys clicking produced by a horde of clones wearing button-down shirts while sitting in absolute identical cubicles, creating yet another instance of FactoryProducer. It’s very easy to plan and schedule for, while at the same time being unnecessarily verbose and mildly unproductive (compared to other languages).

Look, the JVM is fine, just pick another language. There is plenty of work doing Kotlin. But yes, if you’re doing this only for the money, go ahead. I’ve always been unable to separate my job fromy personal life and my other interests, I couldn’t imagine being cursed by Java again.

If you can sit somewhere for 8 to 10 hours each day, doing something that isn’t fun and separate yourself from it, not going insane, all the power to you. I also get that not everyone has the luxury of picking their favorite toy and making it their job, but I firmly believe there are options that are not Java.

Now, if you’re one of the rare types that actually enjoys Java, meet me in the closest Denny’s parking lot, I need your cranial measurements.

Please note: this post contains hyperbole and humor. I don’t hate any of you, I just hate Java

My personal recommendation:

• Pick up Python, it’s easy to learn and highly productive. If you also learn fastAPI, you can benefit from highly validated, declarative models to build REST APIs in the backend, well fast. It will yield quick results, you won’t become demotivated and you can pick up a paid project soon.

• Pick up Rust. It’s “in” right now and I get requests from marketing people that know nothing about programming, asking if their project could be implemented in Rust

• Go with memorizing the shell commands first, try to understand git later. Get productive, try to get where you were with e. g. svn or cvs. If you are comfortable, look at something in depth if you have a problem that you can’t solve with the knowledge you have.

• Fuck Java, seriously.

• You have commercial interests, so it is probably wise to look into becoming a fullstack dev to maximize the kind of projects you can do. Look into React, vue.js, svelte. React is probably still the most widely used framework, you’ll quickly do a project with vue.js and svelte is a super interesting look into things to come.

That dude is joking of course, but touching someone in a subtle manner can be used to both express and indicate interest.

If all else fails, entangle him with silk and consume him.

You mean the company that had a feature in place that allowed law enforcement to request and access video footage from your devices without obtaining a warrant first?

As expected, their security measures were also found to be lacking.

Yeah, no thanks.

NewPipe stops working whenever Google updates YouTube with a breaking change that NewPipe needs to integrate then, e. g. renaming parameters, changing URLs and the like.

NewPipe has been steadily working for years, with the expected interrupts as they have to play catch up with YouTube. That typically only lasts a few days, sometimes hours, though.

With type annotations, this problem is mostly alleviated in practice, while still keeping the productivity gains of duck typing.

I share all those opinions, so your rant saved me some potential typing in the future.

On the 8 Pro, the bump is recessed relative to the Otterbox case (given the “tough” Otterbox model for the 8 Pro, no idea what it’s called)

Do you use the phone without a protective case? I find that most cases are designed so that the bump is flush with the back of the case.

That being said, I prefer thicker cases like the Otterbox oder Spigen Tough whatever series, so I could see how such a case would be “too much” for someone.

I don’t hear it either, though.

So, female leads in video games are fine when used and perceived as a novelty? Special and cool like they used to be? You can tolerate them if the game is good? Jesus man, I don’t know what to tell you…

I think you’re falling into a bit of a trap here: perfect is the enemy of good. Not everything has to be automated, instead of growing pains, there can also be gains.

Remember, we are currently aiming to get these vehicles on the road, alongside regular drivers. They use sensors and computer vision to read street signs, detect people etc., all with the reaction speed of a machine. What if the in-between product is simply a better driver with faster reaction times? That is the current goal, really - no one wants to automate everything, simply because that wouldn’t be feasible anytime soon.

Yes, again, we’re not there yet and these things are far from perfect. But let’s first just aim to get them good enough, and then maybe just a little better than your average driver.

As for the your proposed business model: we have capable drivers now, why do these business models don’t exist right now? Why is there no fast lane that allows me pay to get to my destination faster? What would the technology of driverless cars introduce that would enable these regulations?
