I follow a (very) wide spectrum of accounts on Twitter and the following seemed true for the accounts I follow which scored highly likely to be bots: - it's 50/50 accurate picking …

If you're a power user, then I'd strongly recommend RawTherapee. It's more clunky than Lightroom, but its features are on par with or better than Lightroom, far as quality and choi…

Depends on your buffer size, bandwidth, and what you're demodulating/decoding, but it's pretty fast. With a narrow bandwidth on a fast port and simple modulation/encoding, maybe a …

I've never seen anyone complain about this, so maybe I'm alone, but the runtime error messages are absolute garbage. Especially if you get an unexpected nil that bubbles up, you'll…

I think it's important to dispute your recommendation to keep a mylar blanket in case of emergency. Those blankets have practically zero thermal advantage, and really are only good…

He also feels the same way about the technical crew; the lighting crew, at least. Don't remember where I read it, but he said he lights his stuff primarily with flat overhead light…

Might want to retool it for self-storage businesses. There are a ton of independent self-storage locations (at least in the US) and they predominantly use hotelier software/SAAS. B…

> societies would soon fall into chaos as everyone is out for themselves. I'm not sure how this accurate description of the entire history of human society is supposed to refute th…

No, they shouldn't be praised for calling out their own errors--let alone be aligned with "courage"--just as one shouldn't praise an encyclopedia or scientific journal for correcti…

Far as I know, the major calendaring protocols all use HTTP as it is. Do you just want a mediator/self hosted backup? Or do you want to host your own calendars? If it's the latter,…

JCPenney, Macy's, and Kohl's were sued (successfully) for the same kind of perpetual sale racket. A "sale" is a "misleading advertisement" if the product never actually sells at th…

While I have objections to internet-based government interaction, access is not one I worry much about. We have government-funded libraries all across the country that provide inte…

I disagree that his encoding is friendly. I understand the compromises he made in order to make it less ambiguous, but regular users come across hashes sometimes, and unless you kn…

The study referenced by his reference is not very good.[1] They use full white and full black for all modes. As we know, dark theme is typically white on dark gray (or equivalent),…

There are reasons for enameled cast iron. It's not advisable to cook acidic ingredients, such as tomatoes, in raw cast iron, for example. But if you're not doing a tomato sauce or …

His talk at Google Next 18 was much more clear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0a7PwRNLVU It might feel a bit aimless at first, but he pulls it together about halfway through. By…

While not currently "easy", there exists the Chrome Devtools Protocol.[0] I'm not aware of a CLI utility that communicates with it, but it wouldn't be impossible to make one that f…

Not to mention that this is a solved problem with the "at" and friends commands.

I used to feel the same way... until I actually read one. It was a point several years ago that I was looking for a "better" solution to something I was doing. A bunch of Stack Exc…

Similarly, Terminus.[1] It's a fantastic bitmap[2] font and I find that I use it on all my low-DPI screens. I think it reads a little better than gohu, but agreed: there's no love …

One of the problems that I feel we face these days is the challenge of discovery. Sites like HN, Reddit, Pinterest help to some degree, but I can't help but feel that they're just …

> You're still speaking in terms of our current system being the product of some immutable natural law of the universe. That's because it is . Perhaps the prevailing mechanism of t…

It is an ergonomic language built on top of a stable, performant, proven runtime with a lot of features built-in. It's a nice ecosystem with a good culture in a language that promo…

Serious Eats Food Lab [1] Egullet [2] I can also recommend Modernist Cuisine, which is a sort of text book version of On Food and Cooking. Though it has a lot of industrial equipme…
