ABBYY FineReader has always come out ahead for me in terms of OCR accuracy.

A note that Jeff Kaplan the director of the title resigned in May. He was heavily involved from its inception and throughout the development of Overwatch 2, and was a huge part of the community.

If the larger size of 48” isn’t a deal breaker, the LG CX/C1 make amazing desktop displays- 4K120 + OLED response times.

2 monitors attached to my laptop let’s me keep main teams window, active call window, obsidian/notes, and a full display for whatever I am working on/discussing/sharing all open simultaneously. Constantly alt-tabbing between

One of my favourite things in macOS is how well it handles scaling on 4k displays. I find windows / Linux unusable for any duration >15 minutes when I don’t have glasses on. Things are either not scaled/tiny, or Fischer price l

Qt5 documentation quality has steadily slid down hill. Any new modules they add you essentially have to peruse the source to understand what/how/why it works.

This is exactly why I have syncthing setup to mirror my iCloud Drive folders to my NAS. In the best of times, iCloud is used to seamlessly sync between iDevices. If it fails, I still have a local backup, accessible from iDevices, albeit les

There is value in seeing a bunch of faulty ideas that leads up to a good one. For this reason I keep almost all of my got dev/feature branches posted to an archival remote.

One thing I like about crossbar is the meta-events system. Being able to run a callback when some else subscribed to a topic has been super useful to only do work when someone is interested/subscribed.

NordicTrack/iFit is a great example of equipment manufacturers that just don't get it.

Wow that is crazy that you have to jailbreak to enable that! My Kobo Libre just shows up as a mass storage device that I drag epubs on to and they just show up in the "My Books" list.

The idea behind it is sound. Its a massive timesaver to be able to live-review apps as part of merge-reviews.

For docker on freebsd to get any traction, it would need to be implemented with the vm behind the scenes. The beauty of the macOS/windows versions are that they require 0 setup/maintenance and are an implementation detail.

Did you find any features in particular lacking in Obsidian?

Was there ever a technical reason why swarm never won out in the market? I've still got a couple of multi-node swarms that work great and are WAY easier to configure than k8s. I never really understood why it didn't take off.

OPNsense is criminally underrated. My main routers for my office are virtualized OPNsense VM's in high availability with CARP, DHCP, DNS, VPN endpoints, inter-vlan routing, gateway policies, outbound nat... I could go on. It all works

Hot take: QML is criminally underrated/underused/unknown in the industry.

I can't get over how easy it is to keep gitlab upgraded/up to date with docker.

Agreed, Syncthing has been rock solid no matter what I throw at it. 500gb of music files? source code directory with 100's of 1000's of files from npm_modules accidentally included? Photos? It just works. It also plays well with o

At the beginning of the pandemic I picked up a laptop stand for my treadmill. I find its much easier to get 2-3 miles of walking in per day when I am deep in thought on a tough problem, or even just while "sitting" in meetings ove

This is great to use old-school tools. What really rubs me the wrong way is how manual it is to setup/configure/deploy. Things like this run great for years until they don't, and then you are left walking through the entire s

Obsidian kind of gets a pass since you can sync a directory of markdown files to anything and editors are available for iOS/android. Not idea, but not going to stop you from getting ideas down into text.

Most method books will touch on a wide variety of genres, usually to illustrate specific topics in music theory. If you can’t reason about intervals/scales, key, and chord progressions, “learning” genres like jazz will be like trying t

Interesting I interpreted its small size to mean it would have to link to external dependencies for the majority of what it does.

In the same boat, but after this lesson I don't think I can even trust Canonical to not do something drastic. Debian is looking to be my CentOS replacement.

Centrifugal forces of doing the belly flop maneuver. Ever try to flip a spinning object sepaofrom the axis it’s spinning on? Imagine a fuel pump or turbine full of liquid oxygen. The engineering to get this to work is astounding.

One would assume these run on air-gapped networks, but as BI contractor back in the days, I had remote access to these types of devices and their PACS databases in multiple hospitals.

I am actively looking to switch off OmniFocus and OmniOutliner for something with more open file formats, but subscriptions are a deal breaker. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The ONLY thing I found tricky was getting enough physical activity and movement in days, especially lockdown. I picked up a treadmill laptop stand and every day I walk 3-5 miles while working. I will never go back to sitting in an open offi

I was going to mention that we’ve learned a lot in 20 years, but have we really?
