    I guess knowing that people will criticise your messy code is one of the reasons why people don’t open source more things. It’s nice to have the code open-source even though it’s n…

    To mount a camera on my desk, I'm about to purchase this "Neewer Tabletop Light Stand", and a mini ball head with standard 1/4 inch screw for angle adjustment. I can't vouch for it…

    I've been using InfluxDB, but not satisifed with limited InfluxQL, or over-complicated Flux query languages. I love Postgres so TimescaleDB looks awesome. The main issue I've got i…

    If that’s the user interface, I can hardly imagine what’s underneath. Is this thing actually secure with properly designed two-factor authentication, etc. Or a weak password and a …

    Google Apps isn’t Google’s primary business – they could neglect it and have unhappy customers, but their bottom line would hardly notice the difference.

    Picking files out of homebrew for distribution is generally a bad idea. You’ve fixed the linking issues, but not -mmacosx-version-min. If you run $ otool -l libpython3.5.dylib and …
