Linked in the Wikipedia page, found this page [1] with much more information as well as different methods used to transmit images via telegraph lines. Awesome! [1] http://www.jmcvey.net/cable/elements/letters1.htm

It does look great. I’m concerned though, few years ago I used to use rivets [1] for two-way data binding in html. It worked very well. Unfortunately, it’s abandoned. Same fate as coffeescript, backbonejs, etc. Now I primarily use react. Vu

Like others said, pretty rare. However I feel that this year people are buying the Portable AC units a lot more (there’s no stock left for moderately priced portable units on Amazon at the moment). I’ve lived in Delhi most of my life so I c

On Mac, I wrote a config [1] which uses `ddcctl` [2] cli tool to sync both brightness and volume using keyboard buttons. It worked quite well, although I haven’t used it for a while. I guess similar idea could be extended for linux too. [1]

Thank you! That’s all I needed, and of course I’ll contribute back the changes I made to libraries (particularly the Microdot pHAT — which I love by the way — just that the changes are not pretty at the moment...).

I love Pimoroni Modules, having used the MicroDot pHAT, Unicorn boards, Touch pHAT, (and several more). The only problem I have is that the libraries aren’t particularly well written. Of course they’re open source and I would like to improv

That example is quite common within academic context: most of the researchers and professors I know, who have a university homepage, use this. I guess its because they do want legitimate people to reach them easily (students, collaborators

I’m just wondering if it can parse things like « pls-no-spam at google’s email service », which a human can easily parse to pls-no-spam@gmail.com. I suppose POS tagging with some heuristics can get it working for a few cases. And if it can,

Interesting. I have a hunch that this all is an attempt to game Google Summer of Code to win sponsorship. I think the sponsors look for open source contributions, and they created all the copies, organisations etc. to make it seem like sign

Pretty sure it’s the same person from what I could find out from archive.org snapshots. I followed this trail: - From the tweet you linked, it’s clear that they owned yoginth.ml - Archive of the homepage links to a gitlab profile [1] which

I think I get your point. As someone who doesn’t have any particular specialty (I do webdev, “embedded” devices, image processing, tooling, design, etc.), I always hesitate when someone asks me what I do. I consider the things I can do as t

I use DNS-Cloak on iOS to setup a local dns proxy as “vpn” which can do most things you mentioned. Might be relevant? https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1452162351

I don’t send many emails, but/so it’s never been an issue for me — I don’t really know how they compare with others.

I’v been happily using Migadu.com for a couple years now. Few spams do make it, but it’s affordable and very generous with their plans.

I realised recently that doodling during meetings (yes, work meetings as well!), and brainstorming has helped me capture more details than just writing in my notebook. Having ADHD, it’s often difficult to follow so many ideas and points bei

With the current release, you can use a hook, such as `useMemo`, which would memoize the value for the entire lifecycle of your component. I’ve been writing in react for around 3 years now, and never had to use shouldComponentUpdate, but in

Not only that, but Firefox has amazing tooling such as `web-ext` cli, where you can just execute `web-ext sign` and it'll generate the `.xpi` format, run it through automated test, and give you signed versions you can distribute from w

I've found splitting the dataframe, and using multiprocessing module with `apply` to compute chunks of data to be quite efficient. One can use `group_by` method for that, or just slice the dataframe. For example: concurrency = 4

I've been using iOS and Mac's native notes app to do that. In my opinion what these solutions lack is an integration between both note-taking (I sometimes like to write a few sentences relevant to a document, and I'd like to

It's so good! I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and the dynamic data binding. I discovered in comments that there's a frappe-gantt chart as well, would be nice if such "extra" plugins were listed on homepage

Quick question -- in screenshots for macos version there's no "titlebar" (kinda like a HUD window) but both beta and stable on my system show the titlebar. Is there anything different there?

Particular to India, Cloudflare edge data-centres use Airtel network — which is notorious for using MITM for arbitrary bans. If cloudflare fetches your site without SSL then Airtel can and does block it and even inject ads; this is regardle

Echoing to other's thoughts that hosting a server on your own would probably flag you in spam and just be a very tiresome process. A reasonably good and cheap service I could not recommend enough is https://www.migadu.com .

I think where it excels is "dumb" Word docs, terminal, etc. since it's just text.

I love Netlify and how much they support open source projects (thanks!). Hosting a quick mockup is very easy: drag-and-drop zip, done. It comes with Lets Encrypt SSL, CDN, deploy preview and history.
