Audio over internet would be at least 300ms latency, not sure where you're getting "10ms". Anything over 10ms is annoying, and 50ms is nearly unplayable.

Nice work on the "mouse down to toggle" and "drag to copy value" interaction, a much underused but useful tool to set a collection of boolean states.

Well the alternative is to deal with poor/unresearched PRs, or to not accept volunteer contributions at all (which is what I do with most of my own open-source projects.)

If you want to volunteer for a project, just contact a project manager (through email or something) declaring the number of hours you're able to donate and your skills. They'll usually give you a good direction to start. Drive-by

I also use Qutebrowser and just set my user agent to the top result on https://techblog.willshouse.com/2012/01/03/most-common-user-... , which I update every month.

Thanks, I have two projects I'm avoiding right now, and even though I've started them a few weeks ago, if I drop them for a few days I feel like I have to start back again. The "screw it, let's do it" and "what

How many of these logic questions are there? After refreshing http://api.textcaptcha.com/myemail@example.com.json about a hundred times, I'd estimate there are about 50 questions. Someone could write a script that solv

This patent was filed 2007 and granted 2012, so the title should say (2012).

As with any patent, read the claims before making statements about what the patent covers. Patent titles are useless. With that said, at a quick glance it doesn't appear that it claims a novel electronic flashcard method, but there c

What issues with Duktape led to you using Lua? I've used both Duktape and Lua for years for non-embedded (desktop), and they seem very similar in requirements, so I would have guessed both would be a similar experience in microcontroll

We switched from Duktape to QuickJS for https://vcvrack.com/Prototype , where performance on x86_64 is a huge concern. Both are incredibly easy to embed compared to most other scripting language interpreters, but QuickJS req

What is a CRM? All acronyms should be defined somewhere in articles that use them. What's the benefit over a .txt file on a computer or a custom field in your Google contacts for remembering friend's kid's names?

The second question simply fails to describe what actions the user is taking. In this case, it's not a matter of not knowing about methods of interacting with servers. It's a matter of leaving out steps, such as typing `ssh`, due

"Dumb" questions are fine, but they're completely different than lazy questions, which are often misidentified as dumb questions. A dumb question might be something like "I can't log into my server with `ssh server.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. An API is a feature just like any other features your company offers. If 1000 customers/clients ask for feature A and 0 ask for feature B, it's obvious you shouldn't waste your time o
