Indeed No thank you. Tried this with my personal habit tracker. Had to login again with my Apple ID so often and right when I needed my app it expired (good luck if you don’t have your laptop with you). Converted it into a PWA and be done with it. Weekly redeploys are a big PIA. A pity you cannot use an iPhone for personal projects.
How did you learn PCB design? Any books or resources you can recommend? How long did it take you to learn?

Hi all,I am a table tennis player and I like to record my matches for learning purposes. The problem is I always have to manually cut away the boring stuff (pick up balls, time outs, towel breaks,...). Are there any open source libraries I could use to do this with AI/ML?

Re:What Did Ancient Romans Do Without Toilet Paper? on Thursday April 05, 2018 @12:27AM (#16761769)
For 22 years I used toilet paper until I traveled to South East Asia where every toilet has a seperate sprinkler. After a few toilet visits I decided to give it a GO. Man, toilet paper feels strange and plain stupid now. Water is way cheaper, doesn't hurt your "behind" and I feel cleaner afterwards. Paper seems an invention to sell something we really don't need (by Mad Men :-)).
Hi all,

I've just built a small quiz platform based on a popular flemish tv show. Play this quiz with your colleagues and discover who's the smartest developer at your office. There are 5 rounds full of startup and typical dev questions. You can play with a beamer, a TV, iPads, whatever...

Stack:

- Quiz Editor: Meteor - Realtime Play Engine: Vue and deepstream

Let me know what you think. Enjoy playing!

I wanted to play the game myself and with my family. So I quickly built a prototype and once I saw my family's enthusiasm I decided to throw it online. Just a lucky guess I think

I have built a quiz web app that enables people to play a popular Belgian TV format at home with their family and friends and with their own questions. Without any marketing, they came :). I am at 5000 active users and counting. People seem to love playing popular tv-shows at home.
