I wish they were true to the cause, and used black on white, the most brutalist anything could ever be.

Regarding communities, this was one of the strongest features from Orkut. I remember having lots of fun hunting niches/bizares communities (and not so much fun when I found out som…

That was my conclusion as well. I didn't get fancy about setting cronjobs. I just run a script every now and then, and it is enough for my case. I'm still looking for a good player…

If we could restrict the app to just play videos of a single playlist, life would be great. But today it is very easy for kids to exit playlist mode, thus defeating the purpose of …

Not self-hostable, but Google Vision API OCR was pretty good when I used last time. AWS also has a offering for that, but I haven't personally tested.

I know you are talking about Desktop OCR, but I had a very good experience with Google Vision API. On my previous gig we were trying to automate receipt scanning, and it gave very …

It does work surprisingly well without Javascript, so you might want to try that. Not sure if the linked extension would work without JS, though.

That's completely true. I think the most revealing thing about being a first-time parent, is that all children are different. The art of being a parent is to learn from your child,…

It's Chrome 56.0.2924.87 on macOS, but the issue is that the form point to an API endpoint, so without Javascript I can only see the JSON response instead of being redirected to th…

It is so refreshing to see slim, fast websites. Only the minimal JS is used. Even though I don't have many repositories, I'll certainly consider supporting gitly. Please remain tru…

I don't know in US, but at least where I live when somebody hits you from behind, it's his fault. The idea is that you are supposed to drive cautiously and therefore be prepared if…
