It’ll come in like a wrecking ball.

Linux has always been more pragmatic and focused on getting stuff out that works now. BSD has always been a promise that might be better in theory but is of little practical use to most people.

Closed. Duplicate.

Cat doesn’t seem too thrilled.

I only ever use a terminal based editor for making quick edits of config files, so nano works just fine for me.

Just download more RAM.

When they started out, Linux had a lot less mindshare than it has now. Also Microsoft will absolutely retaliate against you, if you promote anything but their crapware. For a small manufacturer that can be a problem.

You can use Flask. With that you’ll have your first website up and running in minutes. Then you can move on to templating in HTML and CSS.

If you want to help people develop a fundamental understanding of IT concepts, teach them Python. C is very hard for beginners and will discourage most people. JavaScript is too inconsistent. Python will let people get results quickly and that way encourage them to carry on. Plus, it’s one of the most popular languages out there so Python skills are definitely useful in the labour market.

Great! Now let’s leverage the key learnings into a win win scenario.

Let me just do a quick recap here so we’re all on the same page.

Or making PowerPoint slides full of LinkedIn lunatic lingo.

Poser! A real Roman would just fall on his sword.

All the 500 guests have already agreed to come.

Seconded. Don’t nuke your current devices until you’re really sure you know what you’re doing. Getting started is very easy. Just take any old box you have lying around and stay tinkering.

Most of those features are implemented in the scan software on the PC, not on the scanner itself. Although there is a tendency to integrate more and more features in the firmware, which is not always a good idea. Also, if you’re scanning low volumes, I’d say doing the separation before the scan is generally more efficient. At least that’s how I do it. But that’s just me, of course. I wasn’t in any way trying to criticize your approach. If it works for you, it’s great.

You can use e.g. barcodes, patch codes or separator sheets (which usually carry the patch code). Sometimes you can also separate documents by recognising some feature on the first page, e.g. a logo or a barcode that’s already there. And of course it’s a good idea to put single page documents in a separate batch so you just separate them by page count. This of course also works if all documents are two or three pages long.

Not very automatic, is it? There are definitely better ways to scan high volumes of documents.

Do you have any particular model in mind? What do you mean by “automatic scanner”? Any scanner I know needs quite a lot of manual preparation to scan a batch of documents.
