This brings up a pet peeve of mind in code repo README files - why no screenshot?? If your project has a UI, this is a must have in the description.

Re:Ask HN: What are some good methods to prove current time? on Sunday October 11, 2020 @05:08AM (#24744604)
You can ask the person you wish to prove current time to, to provide a "challenge" that you will film ("put two fingers up", "hold up a USB cable").

I'm a software engineer from Israel. I'm mainly a Pythonista, but I also dabble in C++ and Embedded Linux. I write about code, technology and my personal life - from a programmer's perspective.

Just because a decision is forced by scale doesn't necessarily mean it's bad for small scale. For example, Git was created for the Linux kernel project and is designed to be performant in scale, but it's still a good decision to use it when you're a single developer.

(Also, why bash ThinkPads? They're great laptops)
