For my solo projects I break the "don't code in master" rule because there is nobody else to coordinate with, and I usually only work on a major idea at a time. However I still use branches, usually if I want to quickly test

If you solve this problem, would you share the details? I've been dealing with this for my entire adult life. When I can convince my body to actually sleep when the sun goes down, the day that follows is typically one of my most produc

Don't misunderstand: this is a bad advertising practice. I don't like most advertising, relevant or otherwise, so if this happens as you describe then yes, the value add is negative. That doesn't make the data usage surprisi

This is something I wish was noted more often. When I'm searching for something on Amazon, I have intentionally visited that storefront and am willfully handing them my data (in the form of search and browsing history); of course Ama

Could you elaborate on the Home Assistant thing? I'm running that app from the F-droid store right now, and I sorta blindly assumed it was the official one. Now I'm worried; is this some outdated clone?

I have mild synesthesia for letters, numbers, shapes and scale degrees. At least in my case (and this is wildly personal and subjective) I'd agree that synesthesia basically is association. It's kindof hard to put into words, li

The biggest difference in Aesprite's case is a limit on distribution. From their own blog post on the subject: > [The new EULA] still gives you the possibility to compile and modify the program for your own purposes, but it doesn’t

If you're having performance issues on non-Windows, you might try twiddling around with the UI options. In particular, setting "Screen Scaling" to 100% and "UI Scaling" up to 200% to compensate seems to vastly imp

... here's a weird thought. Could you have a free and paid tier split based on overall traffic, but pass the paid tier cost onto the user? ie, when the quota is reached (say an article trends on HN surprisingly), the comment box pops u

My very, very loose understanding is that bitmap fonts in the US have a bit of a special protection against copyright, with the logic being that their public utility outweighs the benefit of enforcing these restrictions. Vector fonts not so

I invent a random number with my area code, and 555 as the second group. This block is reserved for fictional numbers (which is why it shows up so often in television) and again, most systems accept it. This way I get to pick a last 4 that

As an app for browsing content exclusively available on YouTube, I use NewPipe on a FOSS build of Android and am fairly happy with it. It does subscriptions (channel bookmarks, basically) without requiring a login, and that's plenty go

Note that there is some confusion! In South Texas especially, the dish klobásník (informally "pigs in a blanket") is very frequently labeled "kolache", [1] despite having little resemblance to the traditional desert: ht

You can't compare eInk with backlit LCD, but front-lit LCD panels totally exist; see any pocket calculator. For a dot-matrix display, the original Gameboy Color is the best example I personally own, but I'm sure countless others

The author does acknowledge this problem, though way down towards the end of a long article: > IP: Another problem is that I'm using a lot of IP that's not mine as basis for the mockups. Because this is designed as a Nintendo

Is there a good open replacement for point of interest search in the mapping space? This is the main thing I end up switching back to Google Maps for. Open Street Maps is good if I already know my address ahead of time, but at least the And

Having worked in this kind of customer support, the issue isn't that technician doesn't understand DNS, but rather that the end user frequently hadn't even heard of it. It's a massive pain to troubleshoot something like

For this particular disease, my personal threshold is something like, "A vaccine exists, and most of the vulnerable population at least has access to it." This kind of lockdown seems wildly inappropriate for most other yearly dise

Wait, you can get rid of it? I've just been living with it. I learned to recognize when a train of thought was heading in that direction, and sort of intuitively lower the weight. "Yeah, I blundered here, and my knowledge in this

I'd imagine a big challenge with reusable containers in the retail space is food safety, especially in countries with strong regulation. A lot of restaurants in my area won't pour a beverage into a customer supplied container beca

The main use case that popped in my head was compositing of rendered effects with live footage from a physical camera. In this case, might it be beneficial for your render to exactly match the real world lens, defects and all?

I solved for this by simply giving Windows and Linux a hard drive each. The boot records are completely separate, and neither one tries to read data from the other. (Personally I have no need, my NAS handles any file level syncing, but that

The thing humans have, that so far trained machine-learning models seem to lack, is a fairly reliable BS detector. I think the best example of this is an inkblot test. Sure I can look at an inkblot and see fanciful shapes, maybe a chair, ma

I bought an AMD GPU specifically for use with my Linux workstation and haven't regretted it. Perhaps I simply had bad luck with specific nVidia cards, but the AMD driver is stable in a way the nVidia driver simply never was, especial

Also it's really important to conceptualize the sheer scale at which a virus operates. One single virus isn't a problem, but when it enters the host's body and replicates, you're talking about millions of the little

So, could you potentially store more metadata than just the face name, like it's normal for example, or the location and approximate surface area, and try to use that to reduce the problem space for an educated guess?
