I can only second what ht85 said in a sibling comment. I have the same complaint, but this is definitely possible using e.g. react-app-rewired. Adding custom webpack loader rules is as simple as replacing the calls to react-scripts with cal

An "epic" (noun) is a Scrum term for a collection of stories. I'd say that was the intended usage.

There really are some weird edge cases out there. E.g. parts of the border between Switzerland and Italy is described by peaks and valleys of the alps. Now due to climate change, glaciers are melting, and suddenly parts of Switzerland and I

Even if rename detection is enabled, git will only try to identify renames if it wouldn't take too much time (since IIRC it's a O(#files^2) operation). Thus, there's a config "diff.renameLimit" and "merge.renam

Even worse, GeoIP doesn't even have high enough resolution. I'm currently in Switzerland. Different regions speak German, French and Italian (among others). If you just use "this IP is in Switzerland" to try and guess th

I had the great pleasure to walk through one of the original models used for shooting exhibited at Bavaria Filmstadt [0]. I believe the guide said that it had to be scaled up by ~25% to fit the cameras at the time and it was still incredibl

Funny that mentioned an iPad! I had the exact opposite use case: I used my iPad to draw a diagram, but used my desktop webcam instead of the one in the iPad sitting in my lap (which would have a terrible angle of pretty much only my chin).

Yep, I should have clarified that. There is a weird disconnect between 1-to-1 calls and meetings with 2 people in them. So far I haven't been able to see any advantage at all to 1-to-1 calls except it takes fewer clicks to start them.

I have many bad things to say about MS Teams, but it does allow you to join a meeting multiple times on multiple devices using the same user account - so you can watch a screenshare on your desktop. machine but use the microphone or camera

My employer uses Roomz ( https://roomz.io/ ) which does exactly that. It has some trade-offs like being very laggy if a meeting is spontaneously cancelled, and it doesn't show double bookings, but besides that, it's

I can only second the sibling comment. For my use case ("check when the cronjob X on this machine last ran successfully"), setting up a data ingress pipeline which I could later configure as a time series data source seems like 3

The ancient Greeks beat this in terms of slow delivery: "In 499 BC, he shaved the head of his most trusted slave, tattooed a message on his head, and then waited for his hair to grow back. The slave was then sent to Aristagoras, who wa

Full disclosure: I have a very patchwork CV. I think it's disingenuous to put "the slightest hiccup" and "<2 years" in the same bucket. Even counting a 6 months warm-up phase, it becomes very clear from interacti

Datacenter GPUs are mostly identical to the much cheaper consumer versions. The only thing preventing you from running a datacenter with consumer hardware is the licensing agreement you accept.
