My box of wires in the attic is often the butt of my wife’s jokes, but every once in a while I find that satellite coax connector I’ve been saving, or the scart cable that is the o…

I’m looking forward to picking up a second hand M1 Max mbp now that these new models are out. M1 is more than fast enough for me, and I’m specifically looking for a native 3 extern…

I’ve been a freelancer / consultant in the UK since 2013. Here’s the approach I took. Initially, I stuck with the ‘permanent’ day job and start freelancing part time, in the evenin…

I much prefer the SE form factor to the notched design, but the latter boasts a significantly better camera system. If they put the dual lens setup from the 12/13 in a new SE then …

Where do you typically migrate to? Or does it depend on the project?

As per the article there are 32 fuses, meaning they can support 32 ‘irreversible’ firmware updates. There have already been 13. What happens when update #33 is needed? Or are they …

Awesome job. I guess the API spec file is key to this! I see from the repo that you use swagger. Best of luck with the project - as others have noted, this is a space ripe for impr…

Not the OP but just wanted to weigh in on the PHP point. Just because it isn’t the coolest/hottest language around, doesn’t make PHP any less suitable for a project like this. Lara…

I was about to ask how you manage to support so many different language bindings, then I noticed that you’ve built an ‘SDK generator’ [1]. Very cool! I’ve not come across this conc…

One of the nice things about a pull-based model (polling) is that you are in control of throughput. Need to process events more slowly? Increase the polling interval. It’s impossib…
