    You can actually do this, as a fob, but you have to buy one from a vending machine in the gym. Remembering the pin is easier.

    I love reading about this sort of thing. My personal solution to the issues with the app and the wait for it to work (if it worked) was to memorize the pin. I believe I'm still qui…

    As someone who knows SQL and doesn't develop with (Java|Type)Script this looks way more verbose and confusing.

    In which format? As a list of 1s and 0s; in hex? TCP or IP if I just pasted the textual version of any binary data id captured without some form of conversion it's not good to look…

    I'm assuming, since it's a binary encoded, the textual output would not be something you'd like to look at.

    This and the many other stories like this is why none of these companies has any of my data.

    I've been using iwr for years and didn't know that the progress bar added latency! Much appreciated. My main point to the OP was more that it's just an alias, you can remove it and…

    I feel like I keep harping on about Nushell but as scripting languages go it's right up there for me. Built with rust too and comes with a ton of stuff built in. What's the niche t…

    I don't think it's fair to say Microsoft hijacked the curl command. It's just an alias for a powershell cmdlet. Powershell is definitely not perfect but theres less pitfalls than b…

    What about Nushell? It's still a separate install on all platforms, and not POSIX compliant (for reasons). But for me it's got all the benefits of powershell without the verbosenes…

    Why I do programming, as a non professional programmer, is to make my life easier; to have the computer do my work for me. I program to automate manual tasks. I've stitched dispera…

    I really like draw.io, I've used it for a number of things including wireframing an app and creating cheatsheets for things. It's definitely not as frictionless as excalidraw thoug…

    What are the prerequisites hardware-wise for Recall? If it's the case you need certain hardware for it to run properly then not having that hardware is a good migration.

    What lead you to choose that over say obsidian, notion, Joplin, and the many others that pretty much do the same thing?

    What part of the UK does this happen in? I've never been asked this. I can only assume you're in London?
