As mentioned by others, PHP today is not the PHP that is still in most peoples heads. For me one of the big advantages is ease of deployment. No docker, no images, no overhead, scp it to any toaster running apache and you are done!

Me neither, it really would benefit from a better documentation since I like the idea a lot.

I just tried it out and it seems to be tied to Chrome. Since I use Firefox and Chromium as my daily drivers this does not work for my case. I understand that they probably rely on some Chrome internals to dig through the content, a SOCKS Proxy approach would have worked better and would have no need to switch between a "save" and "serve" mode. But then again I was only scraping the top of it because of the lack of browser support. Will keep an eye on this one though!

Also ã/Ã seems missing?

While it's a nice idea and usually I am a sucker for all things starting with European*, it seems to fall short and the practical use seems limited - who is writing more than 3-4 languages at a time?

I'll stick to my AutoHotkey macros to put portuguese ã/ç/õ via AltGr on my german keyboard:

  <^>!a::Send {ASC 0227}
  +<^>!A::Send {ASC 0195}
  <^>!c::Send {ASC 0231}
  +<^>!C::Send {ASC =199}
  <^>!o::Send {ASC 0245}
  +<^>!O::Send {ASC 0213}

(+1 for my fellow ISO Return key users in the thread)

I reckon that is called material flow and logistics and is an area inside mechanical engineering schools. I worked in the past for companies doing just that in every size from a pencil to parts as big as a car.

Rainbolt is an amazing geodetective without doubt.

There was also a great talk about Overpass Turbo and related OSINT tools on the 2021 CCC Congress, also showing examples outside the US.

The talk is available in english as well: https://media.ccc.de/v/rc3-2021-r3s-112-osint-ich-wei-wo-dei...

+1 for SyncThing. It (now?) works effortless on my phone and having your screenshots and snapshots automatically on your NAS and PC to process them there is fantastic.

Didn't use the "rolling trashbin" feature yet but need to look into that

After seeing that Unity Muse[0] AI presentation yesterday and the following backlash regarding the source material[1], this seems to be a huge legal minefield to be solved first.

IIRC Iberian orcas are endangered. Besides that, just suggesting to kill a living being for merely disturbing some irrelevant boat race that takes place in the domain of that creature is beyond me.

The whole Godot Editor is also available in the browser under https://editor.godotengine.org/

You might want to give that a look :)

A set of cheap magsafe style USB connectors for MicroUSB and USB-C

I ruined one wireless headset by ripping out the usb socket from the PCB after tripping over the charging wire. After getting a replacement I put the "magsafe" micro USB connector in and not only is it trip safe now, charging is soo much easier since the cable can be oriented either way.

After that unexpected success I also outfittet my MX Anywhere and my Kindle with them and just throw a few in my laptop bag for use on the go or to share with other people.

I love all the Affinity products so far but the RAW part of Affinity Photo is where the suite falls a bit short in my opinion.

Things I miss most when compared to Lightroom are:

- the ability to quickly create circular and gradient masks and apply a set of setting to them

- Edits are not saved into a .xmp file like Lightroom does. Once you developed your image and closed the Raw editor, there is no way to apply the exact same settings again if you want to tweak something later.

I didn't try it out yet but Kalliope is a similar project (RPi voice assistant) but has an API where you could input a text order via HTTP:

I was asking myself the same thing and apparently protobuf has no concept of "null", thus I can see how MessagePack might have an advantage depending on your use case here.

So good to find someone else who went back to the 90ies stack!

After playing around with some react/vue/express/angular/younameit apps for various clients I am more than happy to escape the dependency hell and write efficient code in pure JS that load basically instantly and doesn't need a build environment in the first place. The last straw for me was spending over a day trying to find the right versions for node and all the packages involved to at least get a "legacy app" I inherited running.

I find that I don't even need jQuery anymore, support for things like closest() or a simple document.querySelector is so good that I save those few kb as well.

True, you have to use the mouse for now, ctrl(+shift)+cursor keys only get you so far

I can resize, copy/paste and change font/color/transparency settings on my cmd.exe without any problems. I get your point but they really improved it since Win7/8

I'm sticking to the XPS family for years now and a - for me very important - thing that rarely gets mentioned is the stunning support you can book with the machine. It's usually something around EUR 200-250 for 4-5 years and you'll get a worldwide coverage on the next business day, no matter what. I had issues with my current XPS in a beach house in Portugal earlier last year due to the sand being everywhere in the flat. A short call later I had a technician driving 3h from Lisbon to my place to fix the cooling system, no questions asked.

The XPS 1530 I had before that had some issues with the GPU, Nvidia had some problems with the 8xxx series back then. I had to call them twice to replace the GPU without any problems. Also if your charger has an issue they usually send you a new one with UPS over night.

Even though it might be declining a bit compared to what you could ask from them 5 years ago I think the support is still stellar and well woth considering if you're moving around once in a while.

I stumbled upon kalliope recently (https://github.com/kalliope-project/kalliope). I tried it a few weeks ago and was pleased with it in general but it still needed an online connection in order to parse your commands. According to the changelog they added the option for an offline STT recognition now.
