I made a 100€ mistake in there. I misremembered the amount to be 365€, but it actually was 265€ when I worked as such, some years ago. Fares and benefits have been slowly rising over time, and seems that now the rate is 294€ [1]. There is

Sounds good in isolation, but as others have mentioned, in some (most?) places, accepting money like that would be considered a professional activity, and you suddenly must worry about a host of other distracting things that take time, effo

Well for that subset, I would agree with you. I mean come on, you are making oss stuff that provides some value for some people, and you are struggling to get a decent income from other channels? It would make sense to try and maximize th

I don't have much to add to the discussion about feed readers, but I think you're seeing a good lesson on the value of actually shipping . It is harder than it seems. Their value, for now, is that they managed to push it through

And the word "Dockerfile" is a link to a nonexistent page... they definitely skipped their grep + sed update homework when moving things around. Noticing the broken link points to photoprism/docker/develop/Dock

That Dockerfile doesn't seem to do anything because it inherits from another container that probably has more interesting stuff in it. In any case, I found this in the docker/ subdirectory (if it was me I would have put it in the

Deduplicating by SHA, or by exactly identical metadata, sounds so rudimentary in 2023... 10 years ago VisiPics was already doing an excellent job to help find similar or identical images in a collection, based on visual similarity! http:&#

Thanks for the link. However, after reading the whole section I am left believing that using the API of an AGPL project would indeed be considered "incorporating" it. Note how the "arms length" usage, as described, menti

Agree. Any app that requires location access should be able to accept a manually introduced location as a fallback when the user doesn't desire to grant location permission. Which is consistent with what would happen anyways with the a

Everything you said makes sense. If it's a tool shared and maintained by a team, technology is not the only matter to consider. Familiarity and ease to model the problem is also very important. Thanks for sharing your perspective

I guess the difference is more based on subtle historic reasons than strong definitions? Not sure on that one. I do know that Kelvins are based on an absolute zero value, i.e. it's impossible to achieve a lower than 0 Kelvin temperatur

Very interesting, I just learned that Deno has direct support for doing this! Very useful, indeed. Thanks for mentioning it. Have you used it, to know what is the baseline size of the file it generates? e.g. the size of a "hello-world&

I was assuming a more general case where concerns like distribution of the tool are something to think about. Of course if it's just a personal thing, it doesn't matter much, I just wasn't counting on such a small use case.

Wait, Node or Deno for CLI tools? I was reading this and thinking "Go would make a much better tool for that job", so after seeing that you have actually used it in the past, I cannot but ask about some more info or comments your

For those who didn't know, Kelvin is already its own measurement. Think of it like on the same level as "meters" or "miles". You wouldn't say "500 degrees Kelvin", like you would 't say "50

Funnily enough, the scale on the linked page doesn't allow me to set -40°. It jumps between -39.9 and -40.1 So seems like -40.0 is really where the singularity lies. Either that, or a simple rounding issue. I choose to believe it'

I don't write Perl code, but its CLI has been a very good way to replace sed with something decent. sed not supoorting Perl regex syntax, the most commonly kind of regex out there by large, is frankly disappointing. Even grep was

The thing about open core is that the non-core parts are usually the ones bringing money home to pay for the development of the core. So most times the alternative wouldn't be a fully open source project, but probably a nonexistent one

The Steam Deck came to completely replace my gaming on PC precisely because of this, but mouse+keyboard type games are a mixed bag of experiences... depends a lot on each game. This one seems to run great, touch screen probably helps a lot.
