People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?
  • Phrasal verbs can often feel weird and arbitrary.

    Many of them are more or less intuitive:

    • Put down
    • Put in
    • Put on

    But then there’s:

    • Put up (with)
    • Put out
    • Put off

    Putting out the fire is pretty strange taken literally. Out where?

    The fact that they’re the exact opposites of the above doesn’t help.

  • What's your solder of choice?
  • While 60/40 is a joy to work with, I gave SAC305 a shot and it's been totally fine for my uses with hobby electronic projects. You need to run your soldering iron hotter so it'll be rougher on your iron's tips, but I haven't noticed much difference in ware, etc.

    As a hobbyist, contributing to junk with lead in the world is something that's been bugging me for some time. Additionally, it feels silly but there's also a certain relief in not having to worry as much about contamination between my workbench and the rest of my environment.

    If you haven't already I'd also suggest getting some good flux. The Amtech NC-559-ASM has been working great for me.
