In reply to .3: bancontact is nearly free per operation, but credit card were percentage heavy fee per transaction... That's why. And don't forget that the Netherlands, Belgium and…

I've tried the alternative for Photoshop and came out unimpressed. It's even worse for Illustrator, and I hate this software. They're not perfect. I don't like the pricing either o…

Simulation, analysis, rendering... All those gobbles memory, CPU, sometimes graphic card. Real time works also: huge data set in real time — sensor for production line or environme…

Sound card works fine on USB2 (RME for example has cards on USB2 that can manage 30/30 io at 192khz without issue at low latency if you have the CPU to deal with the load) With USB…

Sadly no — you have toys (none open source and reliability is... well, let's say that the repair are regular and out of support) or you can try to create yourself a waterproof solu…

Blue Robotics (bluerobotics.com) is also using Pi, for their BlueRov and survey boat (BlueBoat) - they’re quite nice to use (and not toys… you can add sonar, dvl, usbl locator to g…

CAD is complicated, yes. But the biggest pain point is that engineering requires a lot of adjacent knowledge about material, tolerance, mechanical design, tooling, and so on. Makin…

Try to buy a new TV without « smart » features. It’s nearly impossible and all of them will come with some kind of ads on it. I fear it will become impossible to buy a fridge witho…

I used a "modern" app written in Cincom Smalltalk this year (still maintain and sold a high price), and you don't see the underlying system. Like you don't see the source code when…

Your comment show a lack of understanding of the condition. With ADHD, we suffer from difficulties with executive functions, like adhering to a planning, being able to chose to wor…

I’ve seen friends with stimulant and can say with full confidence they are not reacting to them the way I am. They’re « high », ideas everywhere and nowhere, acting like their over…

Well, for me it’s not enough because I need to get back to where I was, repeating the same actions so it gets to the same state. With live dev I don’t need this, or a history repla…

Well, I have access in Files to a lot of content from my apps - that’s a decision of the app creator to not use this and keep the content created in the locked area of the app. For…

Music is about nuance, finesse, expressivity. You don't have that with a computer keyboard. Music is hard, don't set yourself for failure so early, for no good reason.

Rebelle is very good. It’s fast, work fine at high resolution and so on. Less feature rich than painter (but that’s a good thing) What’s still missing : the proper feel for dry mat…

Not all DMM have probe small enough to connect to the lane. If it's even possible. What's more, you need to know where to put it, which can be daunting without the proper knowledge…

It's still a very high motivator to keep the service up though. It's not a guarantee of anything as you said but I've been on call for this kind of contract. And then you get very …

Honestly, being a freelance consultant is also the only way to have a high wage… that fact alone explains a lot.

My CTO is quite adamant that he hates shadow IT. Especially those with mac, full of... well software used by those artsy employees. Or with strange software not validated by the IT…

Which is quite low. My manual caliper is precise to the 1/10 of a mm, my electronic to 1/100 (but I would say 0,02 is the more realistic) The manual one is not good, harbor freight…

"Amazon does the customer service" Sure this isn't Hell ? Because customer service at Amazon is a best non existant, at worse actively against you...

Except that it nearly work only for people acting, dancing and working in « live » art. If you’re a painter or a sculptor, since you can’t provide proof of engagement length, you w…

Everything you say is pretty much on target, except the UI. I know my Sony camera, and every time I need to do a change in a setting, it's plainly horrible. Confusing naming, no fe…

Pricing killed it for my experimental project. Of course the complexity of having to set a cluster early on doesn’t help for small shops. Then there’s the complexity of learning da…

All is well, then, one day, you have to update one library. Some days later, in some woods or cave, people will hear your screams of rage and despair.
