LibreOffice reads and writes MSOffice files just fine. I do it every day. Maybe there are some edge cases that affect someone, but it's never been an issue for me.

Bad code is bad code in in any language. Our ecommerce website jacobsparts.com is written in python on debian. It hits the db and rerenders with every page load. I dare you to call it slow.

I'm sick of everyone hating on python speed. IO is the bottleneck. By my estimate, 95% of applications are spending <5% of their response time executing python. Maybe your application is compute heavy and is better written in rus

That is why I have completely degoogled my life. Backup your photos ASAP! I'm using nextcloud as a google photos replacement. It's not quite as smooth as google photos but it works well enough and I control my data. The official a

I wrote a similar project this year that runs on my router, in python. I communicates with ModemManager over dbus. I use a Quectel EC25 LTE modem, it forwards incoming SMS to an https webhook as JSON. It listens to http requests to provide

If you are not paying for the product then you are the product. They are not transparent at all about how they are monetizing this, which seems really scammy.

The nominal rating is a peak rating, in my experience the sustained output will be somewhat less, even in direct sunlight.

You won't get 200W from a 200W panel in direct sunlight, but it will still generate some watts at other times, so it should work out. "A 4.6b year old yellow dwarf as a light source" loved that

I had a terrible experience with DHL, we used them for US domestic small parcel shipments before the business unit was shut down for losing money, around 2008 I think. Towards the end they started systematic over charging. They would rate a

Please don't do this. I hate when I can't find something because someone else moved it. Changes must be incremental and purposeful, no "overhauls".

I'm happy with my degoogled phone. There are so many great open source apps on f-droid. Still, it's 2021 and I need a few closed source apps on my main driver, so Aurora Store, MicroG, AdAway. Ok so I'm still using google s

Borb is pure python. MuPDF is C with bindings. Reportlab is pure python. I use reportlab combined with PyPDF2 and pdf-redactor. It would be nice to see a comparison with the existing tools.
