Any chance you could make an option to choose which amazon to search (amazon.co.uk, amazon.com, amazon.de), I figure the API's will be the same anyway?

I've been looking into something similar a while back and here are my findings: Continuous speech recognition will have to improve, there are currently opensource solutions with the best being CMU Sphinx [1], it does however only liste

I wonder if this has at least a little bit to do with the recent post about HackerChat [1], since even though it wasn't by the people at Slack themselves, but by someone else (Gianluca and Steven), it's pretty much a very good way

This is a very good description, thanks! I reference this quite often lately to people asking about how it's over here.

I'm still a student myself, but from the things I've heard and seen about the startup scene here, in Belgium, it's not that big as in the states. It also seems that education is payed a lot more attention to than some other c

Apart from the slow pace at which the page scrolls back, the fact when it's doing so you cannot scroll up anymore (or down when you're at the bottom of the page) annoys me even more. What Apple did, making scrolling behave like a

I've had this in place for a very long time, since I use vim for most of my editing/coding, but recently I've took a look at emacs. I'm far from being anywhere near proficient in emacs and my main editor is still vim. Al

You can pay for ngrok though (I don't believe there was a price forced, rather donate any amount (pay-what-you-want service as he states it). And the sites not being online currently might probably have to do with inconshreveable (the

I can see how this would be useful for testing across-device inside your home network, but for resolving domains for development on my macbook I prefer dnsmasq which I set to resolve the tld .dev to localhost. [1] I'm often commuting b

Same like josteink said, paid repos cost money. And even if there is no description, readme or any documentation, It's still possible to find them. And they may prove useful for someone who is trying to build a similar project.

This does makes one wonder that if you need to make an app that has as little downtime as possible perhaps the best solution is to port as much as possible functionality client-side with client-side caching of data. (theoretically, if I cou

I love how OneTab works, and it was something I used very frequently. But one day, not sure why exactly my chrome profile folder (osx mac) got corrupted. I cannot give technical details about it really, but not a single one of the chrome ad

Not having any experience with Haskell it's very entertaining to watch him talk about the topic. Even to the point where it seems like learning Haskell is highly rewarding. On top of that, because he gives examples from "Fashion w

I wonder if those games that come from steam are really native or run in a wrapper, such as cider. Anyway like you said, you can use bootcamp and most games will run pretty okay! (But not as good as on a dedicated machine with a decent grap

Here's what my opinion is on those questions. (I'm an Engineering student, web-developer in my free time). 1. I don't think it matters a huge deal which language you pick, as long as you choose a language that makes sense wit

Personally, it's not that I don't enjoy gaming, but I feel guilty for the time I "wasted" afterwards. Every other activity such as cleaning up, going out for a walk or even reading a good book seems to be more rewarding

I agree, it does what it does very very well! And it's not meant as a show-organizer. minidlna seems like something I'm going to be looking into, thanks! And for dns, I use a domain which I manage using cloudflare and a script [1]
