Most uses of ‘retard’ are in variable names like B43legacy_OFDMTAB_ADVRETARD but we also have

That explains the sudden drop, with legacy code being removed

I myself haven’t seen Cherry MX keys with non-removable keycaps…

I just reread and realised it was the switches that were non-removable and not the caps. But then what seems to be the difficulty?
Is it perhaps that the liquid that you spilt, got inside the switch? - IDK how that would have happened, but in that case you will just have to disassemble the switch (yes, open the single switch) to clean it. It should be doable without getting its bottom off the PCB, just a little harder.

I was originally expecting the stick to be happening duo to the keycap and the surrounding stuff, but if it is the switch itself, then the previously given solution won’t work and you are better off using IPA and a Q-Tip inside the switch.

Maybe try one of these:

One way might be to flush it with a spoonful of 99% IPA^[1], followed by some wiggling and then using a compressed air-can to push wind into it from one direction, causing the IPA and the dirt mixed with it to come out of some gap in the opposite direction.

Since it is the Ctrl key (hoping it to be in the a corner as it usually is), you can tilt the keyboard such that the Ctrl key is on the bottom, then pour IPA on the higher corner of the key, such that it drenches the PCB under the key while flowing down and while you wiggle it. And then again, spray from the higher point, such that the exhaust is in the direction of the edges and corners, reducing the dirt that might transfer to other keys.

However, you might want to check just in case the back is removable. That should make stuff easier as you then won’t require guessing which way the dirt solution might go in a closed box.

Either way, keep it for a while after you do the thing and before plugging it in (right, you need to unplug it first), so that most of the IPA is evaporated before you start it up.
Keyboards tend to be much simpler as compared to stuff like motherboards, so I’d guess using a hair dryer instead of compressed air should be fine too (just don’t turn on the heat).

All the more reason for them to judge out kinks

Guess I’ll use that as my gateway to OpenGL

Do you also need to be drunk to be proud of it?

The Aliens might also be animals, you know?

Sell your wardrobe fridge and replace it with a small one.
If the stuff does not fit in your fridge, don’t buy it.

And what @technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com said. Over here, milk comes in 1L packets with a 2 day expiry. I only buy for 2-3 days at a time and every time I go out to buy milk, I also refill groceries.

Stuff over here is not more than 10km away, so I can use a bicycle.

To put better comical effect to that line, you can add a separate hyperlink to each word of the sentence, each leading to a separate article of one of the projects abandoned by Google.

Even better if all of them were widely used ones, affirming your point.

I would love to talk about Qt Framework and QML, here, but QML doesn’t seem particularly great either.
Although I have only used QML, so I might only be knowing the pains of it and not the others.

Whenever I use ffmpeg, I am also using the browser.
Or I am using a pre-made script.

There are 2 types of old people now:

1. those who see it as magic
2. those who made the magic

I find it hard to understand how people are able to kiss the ground without the thought getting in their mind that - someone probably spat/pissed in that place not too long ago.

Isn’t that probably a feature, which would then also be advertised to the end user? Maybe for photo-artists and such

Just complete your KRAs beforehand and hand over the project to the Junior Dev, before then.

That’s the joke

Neh I’m good.
I’ll just stay in a different country during the purge.

Which ones?

GPS: Galactic Positioning System

Just suppose you are not selling the software outside of the galaxy and you will have to update your database (and transform and migrate all the data) when the 2 galaxy positioning system is formed.

It will depend upon other things you might want to do with it in the future.
If you want the record to stay “correct” in the future, you might want to have a separate entry for nationality information, which will be a 1-to-1 mapping with the other table you make for it. Why? …

• in the nationality information, along with the country code (for which you want to allow 3 character codes for forward compatibility), the date at which the the information was given in the form
• if possible, also include the date at which the nationality was provided (as in, provided to the user by the nation)

This should help determine what kind of change may occur in case of changes in the political landscape in the future, without you requiring to re-ask the form-filler.

And I am going to consider this stuff every time I make a database schema.

Stuff in the real world is subject to change, so instead of only storing the provided data as you asked for, make a ledger for events. And someone submitting a forms, will be another event.

This way, you get the flexibility to verify the provided data in the future, using information that you will have in the future, but don’t have at the time the data was provided.

Of course, this is only needed if it is needed.
