I've put 15 minutes of my work into configuring the app. Even on that surface level I can conclude that the application is full of bugs that impact accounts and savings. It looks good, but it's unusable for any serius purpose. Hav

I've only used Fedora for the last 3 years as my main OS but some things you've mentioned (which I consider important examples) are far better than you might think. What I know of that has been solved well: - "Multi-monitor u

A hint that might help at least partially: novadays for managing digital and handwritten notes I juse Joplin, but before that I was an avid Evernote user. Having a paid plan active gives you access to Evernote's OCR function on their b

I just wanted to say that you made my day, @retSava, with that /r/linkedinlunatics community :D I haven't been reading my LI feed for at least 6 years now. I had no idea how quirky things were there. Wow. Just wow.

I'm sure you're going to find you niche @rmoon. I'm not in your target group, since in a case of being threatened I’d rather write a quick and dirty dead man’s switch myself, nevertheless people less technical than me could b

@pramodbiligiri, would you be willing to share a little bit more about how the thext-to-speech is utlized in your project? What provider do you use, the costs related to it, is it a real-time text processing, or maybe you have a bulk proces

This is where I’m getting suspicious. 30M isn’t a trivial amount of money… @Andrew_nenakhov’s comment is on point. Normal initiatives of this kind are organized differently. This doesn’t look good regarding the future stability of the initi

I run a small website with 5000 unique users per month (.net core, server side rendered). It's hosted on an old Banana Pi with 1GB RAM, no ups, via my home internet connection (but with Cloudflare as a proxy). The site doesn't go

Regardless of the questions stated, thank you for mentioning Starlabs Systems, @mateuszf. I’ll be looking for an Intel-ME-free laptop during my next purchase and I had no idea about that particular project.

My mistake, I left the $ sign before the URL by accident. Yesterday was late when I was trying that and I made a noob mistake. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. With the $ problem corrected, everything works perfect.

I'm trying to use curl the mentioned way via Windows' WSL. It only partially works - the summary is correct, but the compound values are all zeros. Ideas why? time_namelookup: 0.000000s time_connect: 0.000000s

'How do you unit test your code without mocks?' I strongly recommend reading "Unit Testing: Principles, Practices, and Patterns" by Vladimir Khorikov. That's going to answer your question and will unveil a whole wor

I'm speechless, @OP. It ceases to amaze me that people who aren't in a position to generate value for others often generate more of thereof than a regular, healthy individual. I'd like this world to be inhabited with more peo

What works for me: it's not a problem with tools, but with tactics of communication. Make one person from every company you work with responsible with keeping you in the loop (that doesn't mean to CC you on every mail) and answeri

Sometimes it's just harder to appreciate and enjoy freedom we've generated for ourselves than actually to make all that work leading to that freedom. It's a self-resolving paradox though. Later in life we're wiser, and m

This. Being prepared and thinking clearly is the cornerstone of being able to practice indifference to fate. I'm also in a good shape thanks to that philosophy, and moreover - thanks to a life I've managed to generate for myself.

The most basic definition of stoicism is "indifference to fate". In that scope Taleb definitely is a stoic. His approach toward stoicism, though, is less philosophy focused and more (that's kind of unique) targeted toward sta

I feel you, man. Thanks for the info about the web version, BTW. For my taste even the mobile versions of OF aren't a real thing and are acceptable only on-the-go, even the iPad one isn't rich enough. But the desktop app for OSX..

That's true. OF is the king of all GTD task management systems and have been since always. It's the only thing I miss after abandoning Apple ecosystem years ago. People who don't do GTD religiously (and believe me - for them

Gotcha. I hope that you're going to find more reasonable options in your location. In Europe there's no problem with that and never has been. X1 is a rather expensive machine (and not that great to be honest - I have one provided

This is not a problem with technology at all. It has to do with people's morality first and foremost. With Christianity dying in the western world we've found ourselves without a common ground on which we could build on. Values is

Chyzwar sounds very familiar to me. It's one of the characters in a famous Dan Simmons' series Hyperion. Are you Polish by any chance? If that's the case, would you be willing to drop an example of a banking company there tha
