As someone who lives in Antwerp, this museum is my number one recommendation for people visiting the city. It is also a Unesco World Heritage site, which is very unusual for a muse…

Plenty of advice here, which I'm certain is well intended, but it feels like we're victim blaming here. Things like "you cannot mix marketing and transactional email" are good advi…

Joost here (FreeSewing maintainer) Bless you for submitting this, but I doubt much of the people here are into sewing That being said, they might care more about this FOSDEM talk a…

When it's a meeting I run/control my rule is that I will wait 150 seconds for people who are late, after which I start the meeting. You can join later, that's fine, but I'm not wai…

No matter how hard I try, I cannot make two pairs of jeans that are identical. Same pattern, same denim, same person making them (me), they don't fit/feel the same. Consistent resu…

Kudos for trying to make clothes for yourself. I feel everyone should do that at some point.

I am not here de defend politicians, but... The title says "France rejects backdoor mandate" but TFA makes it clear that France is not a hive-mind: - The rejection was by the Frenc…

Yes, it's our backing database for Morio [1], an open source observability plumbing tool. We're still building it but we're dogfooding it and run it in production ourselves. Can't …

For a real-worl use case, look towards the 'script' processor in Elastic' Beats family of data shippers [1] (example is from Metricbeat but it exists in other Beats too) They can b…

I've been working on something to handle the "plumbing for your observability". It's a way to collect, stream, and route observability data that can get it from and into a wide var…

I think there's a bigger issue going on here. I too have received the same email for my open source project (1) which also was on Vercel's sponsorship deal. A little Googling shows…

The English summary focuses on the move from MS Office to LibreOffice (it's a post on the Document Foundation blog, so it makes sense that this is their focus), but the original Ge…

From TFA: > My idea was that surely it's possible to write a bunch of markdown, and then have that get wrapped in a bunch of JSX tags that come pre-styled, using the styles of your…

Shoes. I've made plenty of clothes, bags, and other sewing things. But shoes is a cut above. I also documented the process on this 'Shoes from scratch'series on YouTube: https://yo…

Shoes. I've made plenty of clothes, bags, and other more common sewing things. But making shoes is a cut above. And I recorded the process in an attempt to show that it's not even …

Don't get me started

To be fair, "X-pack" was a thing many years ago. But those days are gone and have been for a while. You get authorization in the free offering and that's been the case for the leas…

Just updated the docs for the upcoming v3 release of FreeSewing, an open source platform for parametric design, specific aimed at sewing patterns. https://FreeSewing.dev/

It's because we use/need a bunch of extra measurements to fit breasts. We don't require extra measurements for fitting the groin (although we do have options in relevant designs to…

Hey thanks so much let's be friends

Thank you for your input. One thing we struggle with is that people have become distrusting of things that are 'free' on the internet (for good reason. So if we're putting a lot of…
