I'd hope that it's based on calendar months. Wouldn't invoices that span multiple years make things a lot more complicated in terms of accounting in general?

As far as UI/UX is concerned their tvOS app is in a really rough shape. The web UI has a fairly reasonable program guide (edit: for Live TV), while the app doesn't. Also navigation in the app doesn't feel polished at all unfo

Doesn’t the ESP32 have internal pull-up resistors, thereby making that extra resistor unnecessary?

Maybe that‘s been their strategy all along? I.e. demand the impossible and then back down to more „reasonable“ prices to appease the masses.

A request for a list of personal data they’re processing would be interesting. How would they even comply with such a request?

I've been looking at their website for the past 10 minutes or so and I still don't know what _exactly_ this does. It seems like this is a local firewall (remember ZoneAlarm of the '00s with all the alerts about connections it

Didder is fantastic. I'm using it to convert images to grayscale for use with Waveshare e-ink displays. I've found no other tool that both lets you specify a custom palette (without which the resulting image looks pretty bad) and

Yes, it does. The delay of the first start of an app is quite noticeable. But the transpiled binary is apparently cached somewhere.

While technically true it would be more accurate to say that no features are _planned_ in advance and it’s entirely up to individual contributors to decide what they work on.

Is it just me or is understanding those examples virtually impossible if you're not intimately familiar with that particular framework? Then again... I guess that's the author's point.

Also, there's "different" vs. "diferent" in the examples: source:2:2: error: _Static_assert failed "types are diferent" 2 |static_assert(typeid(a) == typeid(double [10]), "types are diferent");

Also, because the transformer's secondary winding is galvanically isolated touching the wires wouldn't even necessarily trip the breaker and disconnect the current. Lots of people have found that out and paid with their lives or a

At first glance this looks like a site that should be easily cacheable, at least for non-logged-in users. Also, I'm surprised this isn't using HTTPS.

That does seem logical assuming farmers are acting perfectly rational. I wonder if that's the case though given how people have been responding to the events of the past two years.

Our old one bedroom apartment was 550 square feet and I can't imagine what WFH for two people would've looked like there. We were very fortunate that we moved to a larger apartment in mid 2019. Unfortunately a lot of people - espe

In line with their company name they should call them telescreens. On a more serious note, that kind of work environment attracts people who don't give a sh** about the company's goals. Highly motivated people just don't need

I believe the long-term winners will be companies that adapt to remote work and enable their employees to have social interactions without requiring them to sit down in the office. One of my job interview questions (as an employee) will def

One benefit that comes to mind is that open source tools tend to have better code quality, documentation and less technical debt - if only just because people feel embarrassed to release things that are hacked together haphazardly. This is

Certainly looks like the car is trying to get them killed. Not sure I'd call that "fully self-driving" just yet - not in an inner city environment anyway.

For me personally, it's about putting the right amount of emphasis on your tools. Using your mouse shouldn't be outright verboten, but I do see your point about having a properly set-up editor. I could probably be 30-50% more effi

I used to spend hours on getting things like window managers, X11, etc. set up just the way I wanted them to be. However, the older I get the less enthused I am about having to play around with config files to get basic features like suspen

Yahoo Finance isn't too terrible for that, but I definitely preferred the old Google Finance portfolio feature.
