Not often, no, and for that reason. If you do a web search for the terms 'audiophile' and 'ABX' you'll find quite a few reports which are quite fun to read.

Yes I can't look at it. It should be interesting though so I've bookmarked it to come back to. I'll use a browser plugin to 'fix' it if necessary.

Oh the agony of not being able to say the next thing when everyone’s waiting for you to speak. Right in the middle of what was supposed to be a great point - in my mind, at least. And yes it feels like the perception is going to be you’re t

Try finding stuff. In a large org, even with as much careful organisation and attempting to make things searchable, it just gets impossible. That doesn't mean Confluence is bad of course - it may just be a hard problem.

The Office for National Statistics shows a continual fall in the long term rate of theft for the UK since 1995. From around 11k incidents per year to around 4K. A steady decrease.

Apple Maps has replaced Google Maps for me. I’ve been trying to move away from Google and this has been an easy one. I don’t notice the difference most of the time. When I do, it’s because I’ve pulled up Google Maps by accident and it’s clu

If you use your own VPN to home then you can access everything on your home network without setting up port forwarding, if you have stuff like that. I used to but not these days. You could also have the PI run a VPN client and connect to a

Newer Tiles have replaceable batteries. Also the app shows how close you are to the Tile and it seems to work. Also I seem to be able to find these, where with the older ones I had the same issue as you where I couldn’t find them when I wan

Except that doesn’t work in every other app that doesn’t understand vi keys.

When working on GUIs that used callbacks like this, I’d have a method for setting the value of the second component which didn’t raise a ’changed’ event, or I’d turn off raising events for the second component before telling it to change th

And modern software that does the same. Cisco AnyConnect VPN thing, for example. You can feed it a command file, but that doesn’t give you any error handling or logic to handle dynamic responses. Expect to the rescue!

There is always going to be major flux as new architectures are evolved until they are stable. If this was hidden, there would have been little input from outside Microsoft. While there have been legitimate problems with this process - for

I worked on KDE apps and some of the core bits for a while and hung around on IRC, where I found some Qt work. I did some short term gigs and some permanent (making Zaurus apps, among other things), all entirely remote. This was in the earl

LiveView was always going to have this limitation. Its design makes it suitable for low latency links - such as local network. It’s not going to fail to ‘work’ because of this. It just has a niche and isn’t a general purpose web framework.

I had a loaner Touchbar-equipped MBP as my daily driver for a couple of months. I already had Caps Lock mapped to Ctrl. I used Karabiner Elements to map a Caps Lock press to Escape. It took about a day to get used to. I’ve managed to get

The RISC PC [1] was based on ARM but had a ‘guest processor’ slot which could be filled with an x86 chip amongst others. You could run Windows in a window on its own CPU. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RiscPC

Using a password manager and a catch-all domain works fine for me. I don't use the federated systems (any more - I used to use Google) - I just make up an email address for anything I want to sign up for and save the credentials.

Begging is very dangerous (where this took place) and involves being healthy enough to get yourself to somewhere it's even possible. Eating thrown away food seems like a good way to end up with something nasty. Eventually, both of thes

I spent a few months eating for £5 per week - not through choice. Most of what I ate was marked down (nearly out of date) loaves of white sliced bread and damaged cans of beans or spaghetti in tomato sauce. I’m quite tall so this wasn’t eno

I'm happy with standard notation when playing the piano or something that can only play one note at a time (e.g. trumpet), but I still can't get my brain to read it fast enough when playing the guitar. I know tab notation exists t
