I'm stuck with several relatively new (2015, HD, run tvOS 16) Apple TVs that came from a government auction. They were used in a school, and were never removed from "Apple School M…

You might want to play around with the encoding on your videos. On a Windows machine with a i7-8770k (and dedicated GPU) with Firefox latest, the page was spiking up to 100% GPU us…

I hadn't seen Amanda before. Bacularis looks like it might help with the complexity of setting up Backula. I might try that out. It's hard to get the motivation to mess with these …

I was able to purchase a LTO-7 library full of tapes a few years ago for basically nothing, and still haven't gotten around to using it. There seems to be very little in terms of f…

This is a huge thing for me too. I got super burnt out because I care too much. I hope you get better. I'm still struggling with it, a year after stopping work.

It's very useful information when you are never rested and constantly are trying to tweak variables to observe the impacts to your sleep. I've long since stopped relying on tracker…

This is commonly done at Lego conventions, though usually not too many people participate.

It seems that there are few options overall, but particularly few OSS options for doing offline storage and sync in native code (_without_ using JavaScript). The only thing I've en…

I'm very happy you found something that works for you. What method of ketamine treatment have you been taking? I just stopped after 2 months of troches, which didn't seem to bring …

Your comment about FOSS is spot on. While I'm very aware that Google Sheets is not OSS, it felt much more amenable to me than Excel (and I'm sure Excel's online free version isn't …

Surely that's what lots of non-developer white collar workers use Excel for? I imagine there's orders of magnitude more people using Excel for data processing rather than Python or…

What do you mean by this? What am I "recording" as the bottom of the data set? My point was that it is very hard to have a dynamic number of rows feed a proportionate dynamic numbe…

That's exactly what I did. Now separate out some columns and perform some additional transformation on that FILTERed data. Can you do it without repeating yourself (duplicating the…

Your aside is exactly why I wanted to use a spreadsheet. It's the only tool that has that market penetration for non-programmers, and I wanted to see what made it tick. It seems li…

Interesting. It definitely seems like that would fix a lot of my issues, which prompts the question of why Google hasn't built this functionality

I certainly get that, but I'm primarily pointing out that as a non-layman from the software side, it doesn't seem like a particularly amazing tool. It certainly could be the case t…

I recently sat down and built something more complicated than simple accounting in a spreadsheet. It's what I considered to be a pretty typical usecase for a non-math related sheet…

What are you doing at this time (not meant as judgement or pressure)? I'm at a year (intentionally) unemployed, and I'm still not at the point where I feel like I can make meaningf…

This is essentially me, though I'm not day trading and I'm not sure how much better I feel since quitting. I am young, but I spent all of my time up until a year ago doing the best…

While the overloading is annoying, database normalization actually has a strict definition that is not unlike the standard mathematical use; that is, to imply consistency (to make …

How does this differ from MAMP, other than the fact that MAMP is quite old at this point?

> My two years at Google were spent perpetually stressed, acting as an unofficial PM, helping run meetings and document decisions while dealing with sometimes hostile colleagues. T…

It's amazing to me that there's so little in the OSS world about handwriting recognition. From an OCR perspective, I understand it's much harder than printed text, but there's not …

> But what if the Devil came and offered to cure my depression, and the price was my right arm? That question is easy. I would say “sounds great, but what's the catch?” Depression …

I tried HIIT for a period of a few weeks, but ended up stopping it as my motivation decreased (both from the depression and towards the HIIT in general). I didn't notice any real i…
