In reply to .3: bancontact is nearly free per operation, but credit card were percentage heavy fee per transaction... That's why. And don't forget that the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg will prefer debit over credit for paym

I've tried the alternative for Photoshop and came out unimpressed. It's even worse for Illustrator, and I hate this software. They're not perfect. I don't like the pricing either or their attitude. Still, After Effect,

Simulation, analysis, rendering... All those gobbles memory, CPU, sometimes graphic card. Real time works also: huge data set in real time — sensor for production line or environmental monitoring for example. For word processing, basic ima

Sound card works fine on USB2 (RME for example has cards on USB2 that can manage 30/30 io at 192khz without issue at low latency if you have the CPU to deal with the load) With USB3 you have 94 i/o… For years pci has not been mand

Sadly no — you have toys (none open source and reliability is... well, let's say that the repair are regular and out of support) or you can try to create yourself a waterproof solution (that's complex). Most connector cost a lot,

Blue Robotics (bluerobotics.com) is also using Pi, for their BlueRov and survey boat (BlueBoat) - they’re quite nice to use (and not toys… you can add sonar, dvl, usbl locator to go at depth - max 600m with the kit) I’m also starting to bui

CAD is complicated, yes. But the biggest pain point is that engineering requires a lot of adjacent knowledge about material, tolerance, mechanical design, tooling, and so on. Making things requires patience. CAD is the easy part.

Try to buy a new TV without « smart » features. It’s nearly impossible and all of them will come with some kind of ads on it. I fear it will become impossible to buy a fridge without screen and ad if we don’t find a way to stop this. It’s p

I used a "modern" app written in Cincom Smalltalk this year (still maintain and sold a high price), and you don't see the underlying system. Like you don't see the source code when opening any other app, in fact. The ap

Your comment show a lack of understanding of the condition. With ADHD, we suffer from difficulties with executive functions, like adhering to a planning, being able to chose to work on something... I have obsession: I can't decide on

I’ve seen friends with stimulant and can say with full confidence they are not reacting to them the way I am. They’re « high », ideas everywhere and nowhere, acting like their overstimulated, full of energy… when I’m quieter, energy level n

Well, for me it’s not enough because I need to get back to where I was, repeating the same actions so it gets to the same state. With live dev I don’t need this, or a history replay method. I only update the running code. Heck I could also

Well, I have access in Files to a lot of content from my apps - that’s a decision of the app creator to not use this and keep the content created in the locked area of the app. For example, the apps from Omni do this, as do obsidian, Linea…

Music is about nuance, finesse, expressivity. You don't have that with a computer keyboard. Music is hard, don't set yourself for failure so early, for no good reason.

Rebelle is very good. It’s fast, work fine at high resolution and so on. Less feature rich than painter (but that’s a good thing) What’s still missing : the proper feel for dry materials (like charcoal) and a deep integration with the surfa

Not all DMM have probe small enough to connect to the lane. If it's even possible. What's more, you need to know where to put it, which can be daunting without the proper knowledge. Switching hardware is easier, faster and often t

It's still a very high motivator to keep the service up though. It's not a guarantee of anything as you said but I've been on call for this kind of contract. And then you get very good at pointing fingers too. Not too sure a

Honestly, being a freelance consultant is also the only way to have a high wage… that fact alone explains a lot.

My CTO is quite adamant that he hates shadow IT. Especially those with mac, full of... well software used by those artsy employees. Or with strange software not validated by the IT. Well. Other departments ask for equipment, but only hear n

Which is quite low. My manual caliper is precise to the 1/10 of a mm, my electronic to 1/100 (but I would say 0,02 is the more realistic) The manual one is not good, harbor freight quality, electronic is a mituyo (not an entry lev

Except that it nearly work only for people acting, dancing and working in « live » art. If you’re a painter or a sculptor, since you can’t provide proof of engagement length, you were out. That’s getting better but still not a UBI by any me

Everything you say is pretty much on target, except the UI. I know my Sony camera, and every time I need to do a change in a setting, it's plainly horrible. Confusing naming, no feedback, sometimes you're thrown back to the main U

Pricing killed it for my experimental project. Of course the complexity of having to set a cluster early on doesn’t help for small shops. Then there’s the complexity of learning datalog - love it, but when I see people already struggling wi

In an interview process they tried to sell this to me. So I asked the question of what would happen in case of disagrement. It would be solved magically by consensus... I told them no. No structure or too much structure leads to the same r

And after a while, your hobby if physical will take space for things that are done, and that you don't need anymore. So why not resell them and fund the next steps ?
