Looks really interesting, although my immediate thought with "-fix-faces" is how long before someone manages to do something inappropriate and whip up a storm about this.

Or better yet a "String FAQ" for maximally reduced context, similar to a "Newton FAQ". Just the addition of an extra word (Apple) would help, but presumably the Newton fans are still tied to the way the Apple marketing t

I never understood why they didn't let the camera flip up (to give visual appearance you weren't recording directly ahead). A simple physical move could have helped it gain acceptance

>> "...the open management style of Hewlett-Packard has percolated throughout the Apple ethos and within its office life." Remarkable to think back to when Apple was considered open, given where it ended up.

Yes, there was some questionable comms around pipenv being "officially recommdnded" which upon closer inspection seemed to have come from the people who wrote it and not really been that official so far as I could see! That seems

On Linux there are techniques involving a loopback, such as here: https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback Effectively these let an app (eg some VToonify tool) generate content that from the perspective of your live st

With certain kinds of reporting/BI tools, I've generally found it's not that risky to test in production, provided certain conditions apply, and it comes with a number of advantages where the QA environments don't truly

Having primarily used Python 3 since 2016 with some very specific (rare) exceptions and having found the switch remarkably pain free it's difficult to empathize with those still going on about this like it was massive, and yet there ar

Would recommend those interested in older games also look into EmuDeck. It is a really polished experience, combining a range of emulation tools with good default settings. https://www.emudeck.com/ I've been having a t

Out of interest, where are you commenting on? I agree it's true there's always a risk of these "tragedy of the commons" style issues with bad individuals, but this kind of access is a fairly long established tradition in

Totally agree, the "live" subtitling on BBC is remarkably bad. It's way worse than even using a cheap computer with open source solutions - it's strange no one at the BBC decides to resolve this as it would be easy and c

It looks great. I happen to like the styling you choose for the different elements (eg H1, H2 headers etc) but is it fairly straight forward to adjust that styling with Textual CSS? From a quick peek in the widgets.py file it looks like the

Yes, so long as the pieces are made from whole characters and align with a character grid. ie you can't vary text size being a few tricks with unicode or figlet and you can't have a popup positioned on a pixel basis. But these are

I nearly moved back to Three recently, but in the end opted not to, which seems lucky in light of this. This is somewhat similar to the reason I left them back in 2009. They were surreptitiously redirecting me to a different version of Hotm

That highlights the issue with the American approach to enforcement: staggeringly low levels of being detected but if you are, then it's eyewateringly harsh penalties to compensate. Tends not to work because most people quite rightly r

Seems highly unlikely anyone would stop to check the camera when coming back into the US with a personal phone. They would need to be checking millions of phones for a tiny number of hits.

As others have said, the term "software" is confusing. Application or software product seem more apt. The other small point I'd raise: there's mention that due to the sandboxing of WASM it's "safe" to run

I also disagree with you about how you're treating the term. "Issue" is used more broadly from a user perspective. As a user it legitimately is an issue, in the commonly used sense, if you cannot do what you need to do with s

Unless there's something particularly special going on, presumably you could tell them the truth as it is initially (ie you don't know at that point) and not have that jeopardise dedicating yourself to solving their issue as soon

I would subdivide the group into those who seem like they intend to communicate the desired point(s) (and simply fail for whatever reason) and those who actively don't wish to, such as for pride, to cover their lack of knowledge, to fa

It's such a shame when people aren't comfortable admitting they don't know something. Often it's way more valuable to know that, and safer in many cases too!

It's simply curious as the piece of code has ended up in multiple versions of stock imagery all over the web. Clearly the "artist" picked a random repo, generated a number of images based partly on it, and those seem to have

Payment without the waiters is much better for the customer. You'd think that waiting staff would take care with the part where they collect the money to pay their wages but it's incredible how often they go AWOL at that point in
