I also recommend EpocCam ( https://www.elgato.com/en/epoccam ) as it has almost no latency and high quality, compared to Droidcam. You can see it on EposVox's review on Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com&#x

You just need a wide angle lens, so it can be mounted on the desk without needing more space. I recommend anything between 16mm to 24mm focal length lens (based on 35mm equivalent). Using DSLR or mirrorless camera as webcam on desk is do

Vim: Although I use IDE for coding, Vim has been a good all-around editor for my past 8 years. I just hate working on editor without vim kb binding. MacOSX: As a veteran developer on Windows (and Linux), I really liked how everything worke

I had to do a double-take on that PC case, as I thought I was seeing a NeXT cube. I'd love to get this on [Streacom DB4 FANLESS CHASSIS - Newegg.com]( https://www.newegg.com/silver-streacom-db4-mini-itx-media-ce... ), b

Being mentioned by Nintendo is nice, but they should at least send him a Nintendo Switch as an appreciation. I think that's a decent thing to do, and everyone will appreciate Nintendo for their good will, instead of being just another

The reason we continue to look for improvement in productivity is the same reason I use Git instead of SVN or zsh/bash instead of GUI. Learning curve is steep but I feel so much more productive. The reward of learning something new c

I live in a major city in Florida, yet my only choice is Comcast, with $53/month for 25mbps down/5mbps up, but when I tested the speed, it was more like 2.3mbps up! I can pay for higher speed package like Xfinity Blast for $80-$1

I took typing in high school, with IBM typewriters as well. For 50 minutes, we typed away, starting with fingers on the home rows. I learned to type business letters, notes, and even use proper spacing. By the way, we were taught to put

I've been to MS store only once last year to buy a laptop that was on sale. It was a good and pleasant buying experience and the staff was very friendly. However, I noticed that there weren't a lot of variety of hardware on sale.

If you are doing any sleep-deprivation experiment on self, only thing I ask of you is to not get behind the wheel and drive. I beg you please not to do any driving, even if you feel alert and not tired. I had a friend's teen who bla

ImTui is really interesting, and I hope it gets adopted by other projects. My idea would be to implement something like `htop` or `mc` with this and make a cool cross-platform terminal UI app.

Only thing that is holding me back from using FreeBSD (and other BSD) is hardware compatibility. Linux supports far more hardware devices, such as SATA controller/HBA and network cards, it seems. I've used FreeBSD (and other BSD)

I'd love to see an ARM-based Macbook, especially if it can last 20+ hours on battery, is highly portable, and has great thermal/low heat output. I believe history can repeat itself, as in the past 4 decades, we've seen Macs

But why did it have to rename FreeNAS to TrueNAS Core? It makes it confusing to search/google, and we'll now need to search for both FreeNAS and TrueNAS Core. I wished the name remained FreeNAS, as it had been in the past 15 yea

I remember going through the original Doom source code after it was released as open source. Although it seemed way over my head, I learned a lot about how well C code can be made to work, even for a complex game (at least at that time).

A good way to sync text files between mobile device and Mac is by using Simplenote app ( https://simplenote.com/ ) on the phone and nvAlt on Mac to sync and Vim to edit the text file. I use NvAlt just to sync with Simplenote,

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the web page uses SVG for signal graph, which I originally thought was an image. The way SVG is used is very subtle but very nice looking.

I use vim and plain text files to keep track of interesting bookmarks in markdown format and also write a summary or important points. That way, if I need to search for something, all I need is a grep (or ripgrep). If the page is worth sav

For some reason, it isn't registered as a mono-spaced font on Windows 10 when I installed it. Thus some editors as well as CMD and powershell can't even open the font. However, I can use this font from MS Word.

It's probably a bad idea, but has anyone thought of sending nuclear waste into space? I've always thought that it might be possible to launch it into space using a space elevator (if that is even feasible), but then I can also se

I use AHK to do this for Windows. It's a lifesaver, but it is not as reliable and it is very finicky -- the capslock to ctrl/escape usually works but sometimes it doesn't. AHK sometimes run into problem with Remote Desktop

That's not completely true. Karabiner does something MacOS cannot do, which is a momentary switch functionality. For example, I use it so that tapping capslock will activate ESC but holding it down with another key will activate CTRL

Fantasque sans mono is my current font, as I've been using it for over a year, as it was the only font that I really like. It is slightly too fancy sometimes, and I go the one that renders "k" without the loop.
