In case you're in the situation where you're considering moving your site from a CMS to something static, I did this with PhotoStructure's public site in December, switching from ghost to hugo. It's fantastic to be able

I'm working on PhotoStructure. After 20 years of taking photos and videos, and suffering through numerous cloud-based photo startups that end up folding in a year or two, multiple crashed servers, and having my smartphone camera feed t

Agreed, shitty, but those aren't hard to disable, and it's one of the first things I do on new installs. (I only run windows to do cross-platform testing)

Installing and applying security updates on a Linux desktop is fairly automatic and uneventful. Keeping a hackintosh updated (for even stuff like graphics card drivers) turns out to be a lot of time doing research, scrolling through endless

Is the celeb face tagged with a name, or is it nameless? If you download the photo from a media service, they may have tagged the face in the metadata (but I haven't personally witnessed Apple Photos extracting anything like that befor

NICE! It would be wonderful to expose that information! Somewhat related, I believe NPM pulled in (or co-opted) some of the heuristics from this: https://github.com/npms-io/npms-analyzer (but those don't seem to i

Can I be so bold as to suggest a new feature? It'd be wonderful, as a package consumer, to have visibility into some security metrics for a given package. This would be useful both at initial install time, and when the package is upgra

You can create paper, books, and signposts with the crafting table. Books contain text that can be viewed and edited. Edit: FWIW, MC books display a tiny amount of text at a time, and it's pretty laborious to read even a couple senten

EXIF has a well-adopted Comments tag (if you edit the comments on Windows, it'll show up under XPComments). You can pull them out with exiftool, and using -j renders output as json. If you want cross-platform support, auto-install of e

As an aside, if you're just wanting thumbnails, most digital cameras encode small (120x160, ish) thumbnails in the EXIF header that can be quickly extracted by exiftool.

Reason 1: keeping codebases cleaner. By keeping commits larger-grained (especially if I'm deleting a functional component), it supports deleting with abandon, and follow the "you aren't going to need it" (YAGNI) principl

The colorimeter at your local paint store, looking at a paint chip from your wall, is very likely going to do a whole lot better than the process you just described. If you call the store, ask how big of a paint chip sample they need to mat

There are already a lot of suggestions to use an externally attached storage (or "sneakernet"). I think it's the simplest solution with best performance. I dual-boot off an EVO SSD in an external thunderport/USB-C enclos

I'm with you, as far as wanting visual affordances for functionality, but I think it's a generational thing. Teenagers have no problem navigating Snapchat, and it allows for gross gestures like a swipe, which can be faster to appl
