The trolls. Don’t feed ‘em.

Nah, reaching out to actual transcribers is certainly a good idea. Express Scribe was suggested, which looks like a good option if I’ll have to do this more often.

One of my favorite productivity tips is to unwatch all repositories you don’t need to read every update from.

By default, you’ll watch everything in your organization, which is probably overkill. If you unwatch, you’ll only get notified when you’re mentioned or participating.

Another command I forget the argument order for whenever I need it a couple of times a year:

$ git rebase --onto ⟨new base⟩ ⟨old base⟩

“Git, I wish I hadn’t based the current branch on ⟨old base⟩, but on ⟨new base⟩.”

That’s a smart idea indeed! Using foot panels always seemed like something fun to tinker with.

I’ve dabbled with Plover a few years back. It has quite the learning curve, but you can do it on a regular keyboard.

Ah, yes. Express Transcribe looks like a nice tool to use, I’ll be sure to check it out if I have to do more of this. Thanks!

Yeah, could have been clearer on that. I can’t have another person do the transcribing (because reasons), but I’m fine with running it through Transcribe.

Thanks for your suggestion, by the way! :)

Yeah, that could have been clearer. In this case, I’m fine with transcribing it through Transcribe, just didn’t know that was an option. Thanks!

Those look great indeed. I’m taking Amazon Transcribe for a spin (which looks like it’ll transcribe Dutch), but I’ll certainly try these out if that doesn’t work out. Thanks!

Thanks all! I’m trying Amazon Transcribe, and will clean it up manually using slow playback in VLC.

That might work, if it does Dutch. Thanks, I’ll take a look!

If you’re only interested in errors, I’d use something like this over passing the current span into the spawned process. 👍

I’d investigate having the task crash, and catching the error in the main process, though. That should save you a result-tuple.

I’m afraid I can’t outsource this. I’ll going to have to do it myself, so I’m looking for a tool or a trick I can try.

Thanks! That’d be easier indeed, but I’m going to have to do this myself, I’m afraid. I’ll clarify that.

A long shot, but does anyone have any experience with transcribing audio? How is it done?

I tried slowing the audio down through VLC to be able to keep up with typing, but that makes it difficult to understand what’s being said. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t some easier way.

@fedryreader Heads up! I’m getting a 502 on your homepage.

Today I learned that git branch --move exists. What’s next? Rebasing, but interactively? Ha!

Speaking of Flash (https://twitter.com/jkreeftmeijer/status/1349055366496219136), I remember attending a one-day Adobe conference, where we were assured Flash (well into its decline by then) would come to the iPhone “any day now”.

I’m sure both the audience and the speaker knew that was never going to happen.

Nope, I’ve been dealing with this for a while now. My keyboard and pen tablet are connected to my screen through USB, which is connected to my MacBook through USB-C.

Every once in a while, my peripherals get disconnected, and I haven’t found a way to fix that aside from rebooting. 🤷‍♂️

You’d think that, but no. This is a 2020 MacBook Pro running Catalina, with an external LG screen connected through USB-C I use as an USB hub for my keyboard, pen tablet and headphones.

They tend to just stop working mid-call or mid-sente

brb, boing my daily system reboot to get my USB peripherals to work again, because apparently that’s my life now. 🤷‍♂️
