I'm stuck with several relatively new (2015, HD, run tvOS 16) Apple TVs that came from a government auction. They were used in a school, and were never removed from "Apple School Manager", their MDM system for schools. Appare

You might want to play around with the encoding on your videos. On a Windows machine with a i7-8770k (and dedicated GPU) with Firefox latest, the page was spiking up to 100% GPU usage, causing the browsing experience to slow to a crawl. It

I hadn't seen Amanda before. Bacularis looks like it might help with the complexity of setting up Backula. I might try that out. It's hard to get the motivation to mess with these tools that have relatively little documentation&#x

I was able to purchase a LTO-7 library full of tapes a few years ago for basically nothing, and still haven't gotten around to using it. There seems to be very little in terms of free, automated software for managing the system and per

This is a huge thing for me too. I got super burnt out because I care too much. I hope you get better. I'm still struggling with it, a year after stopping work.

It's very useful information when you are never rested and constantly are trying to tweak variables to observe the impacts to your sleep. I've long since stopped relying on trackers, however, as nothing seemed to display any accur

This is commonly done at Lego conventions, though usually not too many people participate.

It seems that there are few options overall, but particularly few OSS options for doing offline storage and sync in native code (_without_ using JavaScript). The only thing I've encountered that really met those requirements (OSS, non-

I'm very happy you found something that works for you. What method of ketamine treatment have you been taking? I just stopped after 2 months of troches, which didn't seem to bring significant, if any, benefit. Interestingly, I fou

Your comment about FOSS is spot on. While I'm very aware that Google Sheets is not OSS, it felt much more amenable to me than Excel (and I'm sure Excel's online free version isn't particularly fantastic anyway, though it

Surely that's what lots of non-developer white collar workers use Excel for? I imagine there's orders of magnitude more people using Excel for data processing rather than Python or R. I'm well aware it's not the best too

What do you mean by this? What am I "recording" as the bottom of the data set? My point was that it is very hard to have a dynamic number of rows feed a proportionate dynamic number of rows. Scripting makes it much simpler, but at

That's exactly what I did. Now separate out some columns and perform some additional transformation on that FILTERed data. Can you do it without repeating yourself (duplicating the FILTER statement, or any of the other transformations

Your aside is exactly why I wanted to use a spreadsheet. It's the only tool that has that market penetration for non-programmers, and I wanted to see what made it tick. It seems like that may have backfired by not using Excel, however.

Interesting. It definitely seems like that would fix a lot of my issues, which prompts the question of why Google hasn't built this functionality

I certainly get that, but I'm primarily pointing out that as a non-layman from the software side, it doesn't seem like a particularly amazing tool. It certainly could be the case that it's extremely good for non-programmers,

I recently sat down and built something more complicated than simple accounting in a spreadsheet. It's what I considered to be a pretty typical usecase for a non-math related sheet; taking in several tables of data and selectively join

What are you doing at this time (not meant as judgement or pressure)? I'm at a year (intentionally) unemployed, and I'm still not at the point where I feel like I can make meaningful progress on the projects I want to work on. I c

This is essentially me, though I'm not day trading and I'm not sure how much better I feel since quitting. I am young, but I spent all of my time up until a year ago doing the best I could to understand what makes good products an

While the overloading is annoying, database normalization actually has a strict definition that is not unlike the standard mathematical use; that is, to imply consistency (to make normal): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

How does this differ from MAMP, other than the fact that MAMP is quite old at this point?

It's amazing to me that there's so little in the OSS world about handwriting recognition. From an OCR perspective, I understand it's much harder than printed text, but there's not really anything for "online" h

I tried HIIT for a period of a few weeks, but ended up stopping it as my motivation decreased (both from the depression and towards the HIIT in general). I didn't notice any real improvements, but I probably didn't do it for a lon

I went through the first several chapters of the book, but it didn't stick. I should try again; I see his work mentioned all over the place and how it helped people.
