I can't really disagree with the points the article makes in favor of Go, and it's not selling it over some other language/framework/tool but just celebrating how great of an ecosystem Go has. And it's true -- Go&#x

After a family member died I took on the task of digitizing several laundry baskets of photo prints. I bought an Epson ES-580 automated document feed scanner, and still am pleased whenever I use it. The workflow for digitizing them was: USB

I can't speak for their developer/support team, but that kind of feedback indeed feels strange. Even more so because this kind of intervention is possible without touching any of Jellyfin's code. In particular you can create

Super interesting question. I didn't, but found this [1] 2001 paper without much difficulty. Getting much out of it is more difficult. As I understand it, the complexity measure they propose is somewhat related to the difference of arc

While the article does a good job of listing examples where such fees are added on, it does a fairly poor job in contextualizing this. Reflecting on personal experience, of course additional fees are getting worse, more pervasive, and more

I often discuss Jane Street as a great model of employee branding. They do well placed adverts/sponsorships (e.g. Standup Maths[0]), they produce a quite decent quality podcast (Signals and Threads [1]), and they have consistent monthl

I've been working on and off on several smallish apps I use in the kitchen, purely non-commercial. I shared https://teig.pro a few months ago and it's made substantial improvements since then. It's a recipe builde

The publication is linked in the article [0]. Even if it's only for HER2 patients, even if it's only useful as a first-pass test, this is still great news. The experimental design seems very small scale though. 17 cancer positive

While true, it also doesn't include any of the hardware needed to move around. I'm sure it would be possible to build a drone that includes it as the microcontroller, but that creates a substantial barrier to actually getting some

What would be a good starting platform for a programmable drone? The article suggests playing around with a Raspberry Pi Pico, but this is a bit bare bones. Are there any kits, or entry level programmable drones on the market with a reasona

The article got me a bit worried about the idea of developing software out in the open, and the comments in this thread give me conflicting ideas. If I make a public repository `ComputerCleaner` with a single file: #!/usr/bin&

Personally, I think it isn't really an improvement over Google Drive. Drive offers so many more features, an office suite, integration with many other Google services, etc. That said, I don't think Paperless is supposed to fill al

I've had great luck with an Epson Workforce scanner. Originally I got it to scan ~10k family photos -- took about 1 hour and entirely smooth. In that case I scanned to a USB drive attached to the scanner (since each photo was a separat

I've been using Paperless for several years now very happily and can recommend it over my previous system, also Google Drive. During the transition I found it helpful to set up a cron which (A) made an export of Paperless and (B) uploa

It's surprising that the article doesn't mention the ongoing strikes in Hollywood [1], driven largely by concerns about the use of generative AI in film production. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hol

For better or worse I created a very similar system, but using Google Sheets instead of Excel files and fetched with the GSheets API. In that case the configuration was gigantic (many of the configuration values were product-decisions, and

Not so long ago I read an excellent book, Plutopia [0], which went into detail about the development and management of Hanford. Alongside that story, it tells a parallel narrative about Ozersk -- a similarly polluted nuclear town in Russia.

There is much more to the history of complex numbers, and that is also worth a read [0]. In particular, Gauss was very against the term "imaginary numbers" because it implies some mystery around them. I vaguely remember reading th
