There’s a fun documentary that explores this concept: The Town That Took On The Tax Man https://youtu.be/ipV_GU7YaQg It’s about a Welsh town that set out to do just this. Recommended watch.

That's a bit of a cynical take in my opinion. For a community focused initiative, I'd say they deserve a bit more slack in terms of expectations of professionality, scale and sustainability. They now leave it up to the community

Helpful tool for car makers. Would have probably saved them from the Mitsibishi Pajero, Ford Pinto, Mazda Laputa Downside is, it doesn’t analyze phonetics afaict. The hebrew Volkswagen Beetle (Hipushit) would have passed as fine.

This is neat. The send buffers and live display give it a nice edge over something like Tera Term. One nitpick: I couldn't find the option to disable autoscroll on incoming serial streams. Like 'Auto scroll only in bottom line&#x2

That’s a fun coincidence. I was at a museum recently that featured work of Sema Bekirovic. One of her works was that of 3 snails crawling over a grid cube so from then on they were the artists. https://www.semabekirovic.nl/

At first glance you may have a point. Thing is they’re often recruited with very promising job titles and descriptions, training on mild cases. Once they fully realize what they got themselves into the damage has been done. If they’re unluc

Yeah these ‘predictors’ only make sense if they can give a countdown at a constant rate. The idea is nice but often they countdown at say 1dot/sonly to have the last 5 dots disappear in the last second so they miss their purpose. on t

I had a similar issue with geese on a patch of grass in front of the house where the kids played. Flocks of geese in the 10s would ruin it in half a day. I found a 532nm green laser to be extremely effective. Let the dot approach them and s
