My interest is piqued, it could be a killer tool... but I'm still not sure what the status of this project is, even after spending 15 minutes perusing documentation etc. Can I really use it in anger? Is there a tutorial that explains h

We've found asking for something specific in the advert - whether a covering letter, or mention of their suitability for a specific aspect of the job or... makes it easier to filter the spam.

Related: Our highest-maintenance users by far (SaaS) are the 'small fry' - companies with a handful of users. They are usually an order of magnitude more demanding than companies with 50+ users.

I love the way OneNote handles images - and the ability to include ink annotations. I wish there was a FOSS equivalent on Linux with a similar UI experience (Obsidian image handling is incredibly clunky), although the improved availability

There's a paid (and lite version) available for iOS - I just installed it yesterday as it happens! It's called Mobius Sync.

Check out tindie - there is a solder party blackberry keyboard with a track pad. No display. If the display is important to you, then look at the TTGO-deck - a larger device but it has both keyboard & pointer.

The problem I have with the blackberry keyboards is the omission of commonly used linux symbols such as tilde - how do you cope with that? Or perhaps I am missing a trick? I've resorted to salvaging Psion 5 keyboards and rolling my own

Honestly, this isn't the case - at least in my experience - every product I've bought from them has come with a pinout diagram that is also duplicated on github. Sure, getting the hardware up and running is challenging, and someti

Alerted by a friend who noticed his profile had changed, I checked mine. Going from having no French ancestry when first processed 5 years or so ago, I now have 12% French ancestry. That's a huge deal for me, because one of my parents

7 watts idle is unimpressive out of context If you have a NAS that is idle most of the time, and want to minimise power consumption, how about an embedded-cpu based WoL generator? Sniff packets destined for the fileserver, which is otherw

The transcription/subtitles have punctuation, so I think looking for full stops ("periods") would provide a similar to result to audio analysis. PS. The technical search term for the audio process you have described is VAD.

Theoretically it could work for someone living on the border I think, but the funding process is discretionary and I guess that might increase the likelihood of NHS Wales refusing the application.

At the risk of oversharing too much personal information, similar stuff happens in the UK. I have a hereditary condition that can be treated with a specific drug (quality of life changing impact). My sister shares the same condition. She h

It isn't, I had a very similar experience several years ago in the UK when I migrated from iPhone to Android.

It's the early 90's. A large regional Theatre wants to migrate their billing and customer contact data - all of which is held on an ancient computer the size of a desk to a shiny 286 based PC. Only the proprietary database managem

N8N is closed source though, which is a shame because it means we end users can't fix any of the copious quantity of bugs...

I watched the video, I think this is quite an exciting combination of existing technologies - from my PoV/experience it's a combination of: parallelism, message bus and microservices. I know the implementation is an MVP, and hideo

In the UK, it's not possible for Ordnance Survey to remove bridleways (horse tracks) from maps for legal reasons. Unfortunately, this means that some are no dangerous for passage despite being explicitly marked on the map. One example:

Am I an idiot? Re-working language definitions and compilers is _hard_. Instead, why not accept there are flaws and try to catch/fix them? I can see two obvious paths (I'm sure there are more) to address (N.P.I) these issues - top

Apropos nothing: I HATE endnotes (aka footnotes). If you have something to say, don't break the flow. If you want to add a comment, use parenthesis. If you're not writing a scholarly article, don't use footnotes. They'

Another interesting strategy is to use RAM as programmable logic. It's faster, which can be beneficial in some situations, and is obviously easy to change on the fly. The catch is that you'll need a mechanism to bootstrap it - whi
