> _remember where exactly I heard a particular sentence_ Ha! Yes. Sometimes VLC doesn't remember where I was in the book so I have to faff around a bit and try to figure out where …

Mitsubishi is an interesting company. Cars, industrial size generators, erasers and now I see pitch black pencil. Their Boxy eraser is amazing. Hard to get nowadays though. Anyone …

Been there, done that, caused a burnout after a long time. 0/10, wouldn't recommend. Pay was good though.

During the Covid pandemic, I watched from a distance a group of 6 people start and destroy a project. After the 6 months, they didn't even have a a MVP. This was run on a 6 month f…

Mr Edmam I have received and read your response regarding my apology to you. I'm concerned that I may have upset you more than I realised. My grandfather once told me not to take i…

Are they scam?

"I suspect ... are probably somewhat okay ..." This is not an argument against what he said.

Mr. Edman. I have no doubts about your experience. I'm sorry if I've hurt your feelings.

You're right. I worded my reply very badly. I was thinking about the psychological effects. The article mentions it but doesn't go into it: "However, 63% do fear it will be problem…

The majority of the content you read on the web is there to lure your retinas so the website can shove sponsored photons into them. The goal of de-cluttered web is nice. But if clu…

I came to say exactly this.

I watched a few person test team blow itself up (people leaving, going toxic, doing minimum work or other things, ...) because they wanted to get it 'right from the start'. Many, m…

I came to ask this. I went straight onto the website to look for SQLite comparison. It's after all the dominating embedded database. I do realize the use cases can be different, bu…

That's good news. Does the app sync on exit?

Seems like the glasses market is ripe for a disruptive startup company?

My only two frustrations with otherwise brilliant Joplin is the sync and (lack of encryption). Encryption: data isn't encrypted at rest. The author seems to be quite dismissive of …

I highly recommend Borg Backup. I had to give up on Duplicati years ago, perhaps they're OK now. But Borg is magic. https://github.com/borgbackup/borg
