Could you build this in to a decoder? A hidden message within the white noise and this filters to one or more frequencies?

If you go to maps.kagi.com and in allow access to your location local results should be better. If it doesnt ask for access to your location there is a small icon on bottom right hand side that shows if it has access.

I backed ergodox-ez on indiegogo in 2016. I moved to the moonlander mostly for the built in wrist pads. support has been amazing. I just got a replacement for a cracked piece of plastic that I can repair myself. https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/teardown

The thing I like most is the split and I have customized the layout to my working style. I really should learn to use layers or try some of the "hacks" https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/printables.

sbeckeriv — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 22:14:20 +0000

I wrote a tool for work that does the same thing based on request logs. It would parse each line into a structure then merge the same call point structures down to one spec. It was helpful to see the api but in the end was not that helpful in back filling the openapi spec.

things to consider: - junk data from users will show up. unless your downstream service rejects extra params users will mess with you. - it documents each endpoint but its harder to say if this "user" data is the same as another's endpoints "user" - it is hard to tell if users are hitting all endpoint inputs/outputs without manual review.

Why are businesses no longer accepting cash? What are the positives and negatives for businesses?

What are the positives and negatives of accepting cash for businesses? Other then 6 million people across the united states cannot buy from your shop.

I can guess at reasons for both but I do not run a business.

sbeckeriv — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 16:55:18 +0000

I haven't used twillo since 2014 and I don't use twillo at company. I have recently tried to use it for my own projects and I have not had a good time with the product. I was able to set things up fine with the docs but the ui and the support didn't seem to understand the hobbyist concept. I could not get my number registered for texting again and support did not care. Example: I cant release the number I have because it has an emergency address I need to remove. I cant find the ui to remove the address. I can only add address. While the ui banner says "Please add an emergency address to this phone number or you may incure a $75.00 charge per emergency call."

I am just waiting for my minimum required balance to be eating up by fees i dont understand. I have moved on to a chat service. I wish them luck moving forward.

Why would I want to unzip them? I got them zipped from google photos takeout. The folder structure inside is not something i would browse.

I will look at the mount option. Thank you for you suggestion!

I asked in a chat for prism a while back but there was no interest, I would like something self hosted like this that works on zip files.

I have a large collection of google photos "takeout" zip files. I dont need to unzip them but I would like a photo app to view them.

They are stored on a server where i can run docker not "locally".

Does anyone have a recommendation?

"Thanks"

I have learned to enjoy the from trait in my code. A single location of converting structures has been nice. I has also been a nice place to double down on tests. I usually call from in code.

I read once that a headline that ends in a question mark is almost always a no. I think the thought is that positive answers to a question are shared as a statement. Much like you shared. It saves me a few clicks?

The rust track is a beta track and currently free. I have enjoyed the redis and docker tracks. I learned some neat things about redis, docker and rust. The feedback on git push is a nice flow. I do wish some of the steps had a little more details.
