I thoroughly recommend watching the John Cleese video. As you say, these are instructions on carving out some time (90 minutes) for creative thinking and better decision making; https://youtu.be/bC-gBeQYHls

quicker than hashing the file, you might want to compare exif data (extract with exiftool), i have been comparing image date/time (to the second) as tagged by the camera, and when i find a duplicate, i keep the one with the largest ima

I also have been using Terminus from iOS to get to servers I manage. It's been great, thanks. They keyboard will always be difficult but you solved cursor keys and tab. How are you going monetize?

A friend of a friend told me that people, such as diplomat families who have to quickly settle but often relocate, will deliberately but routinely eat at the same restaurant, say, every Thursday evening. After a couple of weeks they'll

I disagree, with advertising and brand loyalty, often people spend more than they need to on equivalent goods.

Agreed. The post is from Nov 2018, both Amazon and Target now have different product images. The post is accurate about deceptive mislabeling, but the example is out of date.

You might want to seek out a local maker space? Is the USA these aren't too uncommon. Or, with the kids, take things apart and rebuild them, modify them. Unscrew, unclip, use a solder iron to remove components. Hours of fun. Maybe sinc

I agree the diagrams from text is what's needed, since they can be maintained in version control, or even just maintained. Since so many diagrams I look at are produced to share a message and become out of date almost instantly. Develo

It's hard to identify cause and effect, but the large UK/European consumer boycott of South Africa in the 1980s may have had some effect, and there are US Federal laws against boycotting Israel (BDS), so i guess someone fears it i

Agreeing with you. Customer service sites are prime targets for solutions where JavaScript is used to enable training, screen sharing, user tracking and advertising, and the up-side is so compelling, especially to non-technical customer ser

It should be illegal to pollute a water supply, but really, we can find another water fountain which isn't soiled. A law seems heavy handed, as it does here to protect the narrow interest of online gamers.

In simple terms, also a Brit living abroad, I agree. But I think the problem is Entertainment Industry layers of licensing. I believe the BBC pays actors, images and incidental music by industry association (eg BMI), license which may not b

I agree, but i think the LE target audience is not you. Their whole thing is to be easy and use the "magic", to get the people who don't want to buy a certificate or deal with the config files, onto good encryption. I'm

I support the love. PuTTY serves well as an SSH client, many complaints here are about other issues like security, https, trusting binaries, GUIs, and really it's not fair to Simon and team who kindly released the program for us all to
