This is nice - I built a system along these lines about 4 years ago, and I struggled to find a comprehensive resource like this. In particular I like the ‘do you really need a battery’ part. My system is over-spec (partly because small sola

As a Cambridge resident (and for friends who no longer live here) his photos have been exceptional. Some personal favourites: Symbolic of the changing nature of Cambridge. This was the closing day for a furniture store next door to a house

Interested in which one you’ve found works best to recreate the paper experience?

Been using Pocket Casts for years - very happy with it and I think it has all those features?

It's the weirdness of the fact that the client has to buy a completely unrelated product in order to get the thing they need. Typekit used to cost around £50/year - and allowed agencies to use webfonts on their client sites. Now

We were typekit users before it was acquired by Adobe. Creating font kits on behalf of clients for websites that you host was standard practice. It was only last year that I discovered that Adobe has changed the license terms so that it’s n

Overall I think the new design is fine - the biggest gripe is the colour themes which seem to mostly hark back to Windows Vista / 7 aero vibes at the expense of contrast and ease of reading.

There’s also the gaggiuino project : https://gaggiuino.github.io/ Although it’s designed for use with a Gaggia Classic a number of users on the Discord server have already successfully installed it on the Rancilio Silvia

I actually love the fact that you can get pretty much anywhere in the city within 20-ish minutes by bike…

And for that reason the horse photo is still one of my long standing favourites: https://terriblerealestateagentphotos.com/post/62824754189

Just listening to ‘Fukushima’ on BBC World Service podcasts and ‘major nuclear incident’ is definitely one that springs to mind.

Thanks! This might be the clue I need - looks like the channel I’m using might be more prone to RADAR interference. Trying out a few changes now to see what effect it has.

I love audiobooks; I've listened to a massive number of them, I've read, recorded and edited for Librevox, I briefly looked at moving into audiobook production while I was a dubbing mixer on TV programs - and I'd still love t

I have a 7530-AX and on the whole it's been good - but for some reason the 5GHz service keeps switching off; wondered if you'd had any similar experience?

I’m a rower but with only a very loose understanding of the physics. My understanding of why you actually want the ‘peaks’ is because there’s a point at which you have to drop the blade back into the water to begin the new stroke. I’d guess

I’d recommend Rory Cellan Jones on Substack [1]. He was the technology correspondent for the BBC until a few years ago - and is now retired partly because of the onset of Parkinson’s. As a result he’s devoted much of his retirement to repor

Wife teaches exercise classes for the older 50’s and this is a cyclical problem. High temps mean less movement is required to keep warm which leads to loss of muscle mass and lower mobility, which requires higher temps to keep warm and so o

Yes - GPDR very much changed the narrative from ‘keep all the things’ to ‘this stuff is a potential liability’.

To be fair - if you’d told me that was what constituted a good gig, I’d have probably replied the same - whilst surreptitiously edging away ;)

Not the downvoter - but I’m guessing it was for using the term ‘woke’ - a derogatory term that is so often used lazily to excuse racism, homophobia or misogyny by people who don’t want to engage in discussion.

I’ve loved this series for many years - highly recommended. If, like me, you’re unfamiliar with ship terminology I’d suggest not getting too hung up on understanding exactly what bit of the ship he’s talking about. There’s lots of great his

I feel the same - to the point where I’ve considered dumping Spotify. I don’t want music and podcasts mixing - and I resent the fact that screen estate that should be given to helping me find great new music is instead given to desperate at

I recently saw a CV with a very specific claim about developer efficiency improvements brought about by their introduction of a design system to the product. I was instantly put off - because while it might be true there’s just way too many

Does this make the Pi webcam a viable project now? I looked into making one during the pandemic - but i think lack of auto-focus was one of the things that caused me to rule it out at the time…

Also - introducing Carl as a ‘friend’, if true, was unhelpful. Introduce Carl as the commercial guy needed to negotiate contracts and payment, because it would have signalled to the author that he should be engaging his agent at that point.

Interesting - 20 years ago we had a client who was a big publisher implementing SAP - it ran 2 years over the original timeline, finally went live in peak Christmas purchasing cycle. The system broke down, meaning they weren’t able to fulfi

If you’re interested in this you might also be interested in a project I’m currently involved with. There’s a legal obligation in the UK for bus operators to supply live vehicle location positions and static timetable data to the Bus Open D

Had a similar experience back in the early 00’s. Kinda back-fired though - one of the developers had happened to notice that a .com domain name they’d been desperate to buy for some time (because it was the name of their licensed IP) had be
