Personally, I have been very pleased with the results despite the limitations. Like many (I suspect), I have had several users provide comments that the AI processes I have defined…

It seems that law-abiding citizens often bear the greatest risk by declaring their assets to tax authorities and relying on so-called "trusted custodians" for savings. Ironically, …

Difficult situation. 5 MBPS was certainly better than nothing in the past...and yet the Sure business (now) appears largely obsolete with Starlink, Kuiper etc.

I worked for signalbox.io and they had this for the London Underground ~8 years ago. There was some impressive maths / approaches behind all of the "magic".

clearly could be a problem...but you are really looking at feature extraction / terrain analysis and best guessing with what is available (little different to a human doing the sam…

I agree - I have used the gimp since 1998 and when using other apps (e.g. Affinity) I often return to Gimp and Inkscape because I understand their UIs best.

It was Google Adwords that was the big one to my mind...with Ray Ryan (rjrjr) leading a lot of those efforts.

I was a massive GWT fan - particularly because it played well with the Java ecosystem. 1. huge programmer pool 2. tried and tested legacy code could be easily used / adapted 3. cod…

agreed...at what point should I provide remuneration to my professors? Should those professors / staff provide royalties upstream? I fully agreed with citation _but_ to claim that …

Bob was an incredible guy - we've lost wonderful tech leader _but_ I am so terribly sorry that his family have to go through this

I would imagine those are a subset, where some would be referred to locally as "chavs" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav Folks might note 'In the 2010 book Stab Proof Scarecrows b…

I can never actually pay for anything on Uber eats - nothing unusual...Australian banks all the way and yet still impossible to order. Menulog and DoorDash appear to work pretty we…

My biggest source of burnout of late is the MS Power Platform. Being under pressure to deliver with half baked tools due to "political demands" made the vast majority of us conside…

Flash remains the most productive UI development environment I have had over the past twenty years. Getting graphical apps working on all major platforms is a fabulous achievement …

Adobe Flex was my most productive client development experience over the past 20 years. I transitioned to Android _but_ there were many hideous things with that (e.g. ghastly emula…

I have been developing Android apps since the beginning, although I have cut back my time on Android largely because it is a filthy experience. How many times have we mashed the fe…

Having just manually enabled DoH, it is pretty tricky to see that DoH is enabled (e.g. from padlock/shield). In the end I saw the necessary flags from: https://www.bleepingcomputer…

huge topic. > I wish I could learn to build my own tiles, vector or PNG. I don't really understand where the data comes from, how is data gathered and assembled. There are many dat…

You can do that on Coinbase. There is a blog post here https://blog.coinbase.com/easier-recurring-buys-and-sells-on...

Cash: I donate to OSS projects at Xmas...and I do so with some news sources too. I give to projects that demonstrate good behaviours in the year - they are progressive, they are do…

you can download the brave.com browser for desktop, which supports Tor. After creating a Tor tab I could view https://www.bbcnewsv2vjtpsuy.onion/ without issue

Thanks - I can see that. I am guessing that the smaller vocabulary is particularly useful in analogue systems. Perhaps W3W is viewed positively for (digital) cellular connections b…

I have encountered many positive statements about What3Words for emergency response. Just one news article: https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/17935101.what3words-app-us... Can you …

Agreed. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Revolut. Their app is excellent and I have been using it almost exclusively for the past 6 months. I have never had an issue …
