@lawik I am just waiting for Affinity to release a Lightroom alternative and then I am finally Adobe free.

When requesting data for an entire Google Sheet, you apparently get A1:Z1000 which in my case gets my Livebook hosted on fly.io OOM killed. Fun thing is, most of the result structure has `null` values, because of reasons.

Requesting the data for a smaller range works, obviously. But how do I know the range of the data in the sheet? Like, how do I know the entire table is A1:F25 or so? It would be great if the API can tell me that. It kinda does, but it says the sheet has 26 columns and 1000 rows. Yeah, thanks for the useless info.

How come that the bigger the company, the shittier their APIs?

The Google Sheets API is like any other Google API ... quite uncomfortable to use ...

@lawik They also did something great recently on the web player. I usually listen to songs on repeat and for many years they turned that mode off when I manually switched songs so I had to turn it on again each time. Now it actually stays on.

It was quite annoying and I wonder why they spent developer time to actually implement the code to turn it off when songs are switched. It makes no sense.

@paulyd Norwegian, Danish, Swedish. The problem is, I have no real world exposure, therefore my learning is quite slow.

Brilliant.org seems to copy Duolingo. They have a day streak system and leaderboards. Not good.

Fun fact: I have a Duolingo streak of 1992 days right now.

@lawik @equeroot The "buying nothing" is what I end up with most of the time. I am so picky, I would spend at least 2 weeks watching/reading reviews about different lenses before buying one. I would love to have another long lense and one dedicated macro lense but its a big rabbit hole ...
