Same, and swapped my GUSD just in case that decides to do anything screwy.
SharePoint admin at current position. Apart from PowerApps, PowerAutomate, and those beasts, I don't find SharePoint too bad to deal with. It's one of those tools that if you use frequently you can navigate through it without too much fuss, but if you're not using it often you will find yourself spending a ridiculous amount of time hunting a specific setting or option that's less-than-obvious to find.

Python's pandas library essentially does this when creating a DataFrame object from a CSV file. Of course, it's not always correct, but may be a starting point for your use case.

Can't a privately owned company just ban whoever for whatever (or no) reason at all?

Meat is a combination of finely chopped with few chunks, more shredded really than anything. When I get home I'll see if I can find that recipe. I certainly don't mind sharing. :)
Re:Brunswick Stew, a Southern Classic on Friday October 28, 2022 @08:25AM (#33370512)
My great-grandmother's folks used to make this. The "family recipe" dates back over a hundred years. Back in those days they would use the meat from the head, snout, feet of the hogs. The "store-bought" Brunswick stew that we find nowadays is so full of sugar and artificial sweetness, and doesn't really do the old recipe justice. Our family's recipe would cater more to the folks that enjoy a vinegar/mustard based stew.

Only problem is, the original recipe makes something like five gallons of stew, maybe suited more for family reunions or large gatherings. Efforts to size down the recipe doesn't seem to yield the same flavor. Definitely a staple of my childhood and to think that the recipe has been passed down for multiple generations is just amazing!

EDIT: Grew up about 40 miles from Brunswick, Georgia USA. I'm assuming this is where the name originates from.

Re:DietPi released a new version 8.10 on Monday October 24, 2022 @03:08PM (#33320994)
Recently moved over all of my Raspberry Pi boxes to DietPi and I have been absolutely loving it so far! Much more performant than other OSes that I've tried out of the box.

Good point here, I will definitely check this and report back. :)

Tried to buy a static IP address from my ISP, responded that it's only offered to users of their "business" plans. The business plans: same up/down as I'm receiving now, but for more $$$. -_-

Surprisingly, if you keep the feature set down, time to ship wasn't bad. The project was done in about half a semester and that's only working on it here and there. For the final project we had to implement three "advanced" drawing tools, I think one of the ones I came up with was to draw Bezier curves, now that wasn't exactly trivial and could definitely add some time to ship.
During my university courses at University of London, we made a side-scrolling video game, a sound visualizer, as well as a MS Paint clone using P5. It's definitely accessible for beginning JavaScript programmers.
I made extensive use of P5.js during my time at University of London. We designed a side-scrolling video game in the Intro to Programming courses using this library. It was really easy to work with and is a great library for those looking to get their hands dirty with some JavaScript.
Thanks, it's something I've always thought on doing and the motivation finally materialized. It's niche enough that I haven't had to do any advertising and the viewers keep coming so that's been great!

Ask HN: Is anyone here in tech making significant money on YouTube?

A few months ago I started a YouTube channel to teach SAP's proprietary programming language: ABAP. In recent months I have started to make some (small) revenue from the YouTube partner program.Are there others here that have tech-related channels? Are you finding any significant income gains from your channel? If you are successful in this endeavor, what topics generally garner the most...

If they're on Windows, the built-in Quick Assist tool (Ctrl + Windows Key + Q) is a simple way to connect without having them install any other remote access tool.

Re:Ask HN: Examples of high-value specialised consulting? on Thursday September 29, 2022 @12:22PM (#33022842)
Seconding this. I've seen on-shore US consultants easily charge $240 an hour on a time and material basis, and those are run-of-the-mill consultants.

Re:JavaFX 19 on Wednesday September 14, 2022 @08:37AM (#32836282)
We've been using JavaFX for some internal tools, and the user base is generally fairly pleased. There are even libraries out there that handle automatic updates and the like. I would definitely continue to use JavaFX for trivial desktop applications that do one job and need to do it well.
Re:JavaFX 19 on Wednesday September 14, 2022 @08:35AM (#32836268)
Setting up the JavaFX development environment for anything post-JDK8 was incredibly difficult. I was recently tasked with creating an internal GUI application and re-visited JavaFX development after a few years' absence from the space.

I have to say, IntelliJ has come a long way. I was able to create a new JavaFX project from template and the magic green "Run" button worked out of the box. If you've previously been off-put by the difficulty in getting up and running with JavaFX, it's worth it to take another look since some of the improvements by IntelliJ. It feels a lot like the JDK8 days.
