I was also big on Trello for a good while, but wanted to come away from third-party, slightly bloaty services, so made a vertical kanban board in a plain text file. Timestamps, autocompletion, tagging etc. all present, synced to a rpi serve

Nice effort on behalf of the Cherokee Nation Language Technology Office - I didn't know such a thing would exist, but I'm glad it does. Similar cultural modernisation issues abound just over the water in Ireland, although Unicode

Thanks for confirming that. I only had a few data points to go on so far. I did work with a small one-person-band £300/year accountant for a while, but then paid for the Freeagent account on top of that (£300) and didn't feel that

Not to deny the fact that profiling happens, but it occurred to me that the assumption your wife was carrying something for you might have also been at play. White women carrying narcotics is not an unheard of phenomenon. Sorry if that de-f

That isn't cheap. It keeps you above board, so that's worth its cost already, but offshoring is such a grey-area that it might not pay to even investigate it if you ever fell foul of any local regs. I once knew a Swede who success

Great resource, thanks for sharing. My business accounts aren't too complicated but there are a few quirks which seem to stop me from migrating over from Freeagent, namely: . Client + invoice integration . Invoice preparation, with t

I thought I was reading an excerpt from some cult book of some kind. I think it's the honesty that resonates for me. Thanks for sharing, marincounty, and keep it coming. Edit - just realised mc has been behind many of the most interest

Both meanings apply in British English, it's just a matter of context. There aren't usually that many insulted patients raging out of the opticians in the UK. Nevertheless some opticians are forced to don a face mask when breaking

I put the link to the freelance site in my profile, which I only mentioned in my reply to cpeterso above - apologies for not making it clearer. Will leave it there a bit longer in case you do come back to this thread as still genuinely inte

I think you should try it out! It'd be a great patch to gqrx or similar. The extent of my calibration of a cheap SDR dongle is just adjusting the PPM to correct any offset.

I may be wrong on this one, but I'm sure I've read in several articles over the years that encryption is permissible if you host the keys publicly/online somewhere. Now I know what the immediate response to that is, because

That's all well and good, and thanks for checking, but I wasn't referring to that site in the parent comment. The other site does have SSL enabled, but only recently and via Let's Encrypt. The issue is much longer standing

Thanks for letting me know, and for the more detailed info - the redirect worked for the basic permutations I tested for (www.domain.com, and http://domain.com etc.) but I am redirecting non-www and www traffic to https:&#x2F

That is interesting. Now to capitalise on your skill... How tricky is it to teach a neural net to learn to do this? Could it be used in QA in the manufacturing process? I'm sure that's not that novel, actually. Ho hum.

Same here. Even had an 8-note keyboard-driven music player built in, iirc. Although it lead to a life-long interest, I never really wrote anything 'serious' from scratch since then. Scripts and editing others' code was about

This was interesting because it's a) not a forum, b) requires no account creation, c) a great example of side-project or tool marketing. You can see and chat to other remote workers, essentially, with no friction.
