The whole timer/alarm app experience in iOS is also the worst of all mobile OS's I've ever used. The best one was in Jolla SailfishOS. In 2014. It was so easy to add/remove/enable/disable multiple timers and al

1000 cores?? I don't have 100 cores! What do you even need 10 cores for? Well, here's 4 cores. Give 2 to your brother. Don't go wasting all those hyper threads all at once! Intel ca. 2010, probably

while that works, it does not fully document what is expected from caller. And AFAIK using tuples like that is not very common. I'd prefer something like: def foo(allowed: Optional[List[ElemType]] = None): allowed = allowed or

When I took a "presentation skills" course at Uni, they taught us that humans are very bad at reading and listening at the same time. Something about the brain regions utilized by these two activities overlap, and cannot be simult

I've been wondering about that multi track thing w.r.t video live streams Wouldn't it make sense to have separate channels for distinct content streams (e.g game capture, face camera, overlays..) so that you could independently ch

Exactly. It feels foolish to demand N unrelated applications implement support for the same arbitrary ruleset N different times. Why must applications incorporate implementation details of the deployment environment? Why does the environme

Sure if you know the operating domain, just hard code some sensible upper limit and move on. Not that this way is "better" in all cases. YAGNI and all that

to me it sounds like they were serving the interest of poor students by distributing cheap books to where there was demand. Otherwise those books could have been left in the bin gathering dust

Also I don't understand why modern shells are so conservative about the defaults. I understand that if a single history file is large, it might slow down shell startup and operation, but at the very least shells could/should do pe

I have ’pcie_aspm=off’ in my boot params, although I don’t recall the exact reason why it was needed. Likely something stability related, have you tried it? Although sounds like your problem could also be caused by I/O saturation?

True, however it seems that you cannot export the scan as-is from the Notes app; the resulting file is padded weirdly for whatever stupid reason. No such ”feature” is forced on the scans via the Files app scan.

by MawKKe 4y ago
That iOS scan feature is "hidden" in the Files app. Open it on your phone and press the three dots in the top right corner and it should have "scan documents" option. You can also select "black & white" mod

You can instruct ffprobe to output the metadata in JSON (-print_format json), removing the need for manual parsing. Although you already utilize "-print_format compact" - was this a deliberate choice? Also, you don't have to
