If you're a power user, then I'd strongly recommend RawTherapee. It's more clunky than Lightroom, but its features are on par with or better than Lightroom, far as quality and choice. You'll probably have to spend some t

Depends on your buffer size, bandwidth, and what you're demodulating/decoding, but it's pretty fast. With a narrow bandwidth on a fast port and simple modulation/encoding, maybe a few milliseconds?

I've never seen anyone complain about this, so maybe I'm alone, but the runtime error messages are absolute garbage. Especially if you get an unexpected nil that bubbles up, you'll often see cryptic erlang messages that don&#

I think it's important to dispute your recommendation to keep a mylar blanket in case of emergency. Those blankets have practically zero thermal advantage, and really are only good to deflect wind, rain, and snow. (As well as signaling

He also feels the same way about the technical crew; the lighting crew, at least. Don't remember where I read it, but he said he lights his stuff primarily with flat overhead lighting these days because he doesn't want the DP&#x2F

Might want to retool it for self-storage businesses. There are a ton of independent self-storage locations (at least in the US) and they predominantly use hotelier software/SAAS. But what makes yours different is that it's modern

No, they shouldn't be praised for calling out their own errors--let alone be aligned with "courage"--just as one shouldn't praise an encyclopedia or scientific journal for correcting errors: it's supposed to be de f

Far as I know, the major calendaring protocols all use HTTP as it is. Do you just want a mediator/self hosted backup? Or do you want to host your own calendars? If it's the latter, Radicale is awesome.[1] 1: https://rad

JCPenney, Macy's, and Kohl's were sued (successfully) for the same kind of perpetual sale racket. A "sale" is a "misleading advertisement" if the product never actually sells at the "original" price.

While I have objections to internet-based government interaction, access is not one I worry much about. We have government-funded libraries all across the country that provide internet access. While I believe that mail should always be an o

I disagree that his encoding is friendly. I understand the compromises he made in order to make it less ambiguous, but regular users come across hashes sometimes, and unless you know it's his encoding, they're (often) smart enough

The study referenced by his reference is not very good.[1] They use full white and full black for all modes. As we know, dark theme is typically white on dark gray (or equivalent), not pure white on pure black. I can't think of any d

There are reasons for enameled cast iron. It's not advisable to cook acidic ingredients, such as tomatoes, in raw cast iron, for example. But if you're not doing a tomato sauce or tomatoey braise, then I can understand shooting fo

While not currently "easy", there exists the Chrome Devtools Protocol.[0] I'm not aware of a CLI utility that communicates with it, but it wouldn't be impossible to make one that fulfills what you're looking for. A

Similarly, Terminus.[1] It's a fantastic bitmap[2] font and I find that I use it on all my low-DPI screens. I think it reads a little better than gohu, but agreed: there's no love for tiny fonts on OP's link... 1: https:&#x2

One of the problems that I feel we face these days is the challenge of discovery. Sites like HN, Reddit, Pinterest help to some degree, but I can't help but feel that they're just scatter-shot. I miss the days of web directories.

As one of the "Linux for FLOSS" users--and, yes, quite loud about it--I am inclined to agree. I would pay good money for a high quality application on Linux. But in large part, one of the less-philosophical, more-practical things
