Although my priority system takes a lot of words to explain, I think it will be simpler to use. - Most tasks inherently have a due date. That is the only thing required to get an initial priority for the task. - The GUI version of my task p

Some day, I will implement my task priority system. I start with a task's due date as a good proxy for priority, then tweak the priority: 1. The task with due date that comes first has the higher priority. - Tasks with no due date have

The Rain Viewer API provides 2 hours of past radar data and 30 minutes of radar forecast data. If you donate on Patreon you get 60 minutes of radar forecast data[1]. [1]: https://www.rainviewer.com/api.html

A new way to visualize the weather (forecast). https://weather-sense.leftium.com got some interest in another thread[1]. Major updates in the past month: - Added AQI - Adjusted map colors to make precipitation radar more visible

Interesting: I came to a similar conclusion when I developed a state management system I coined "nation state." (A group of related variables with scope that is between local and global scope.) Svelte has these stores that are glo

You can toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius by tapping any temperature value. Eventually other unit types will also be implemented. URL params and cookies will also be added for persistence. Right now, I chose to default to the most &quot

By default: - The past three hours are shown in the 24 hour timeline - The timelines for the past two days are shown - (rendered slightly lighter/transparently) Up to 92 past days can be shown, but this is currently hard-coded[1] and n

I updated the app so the map layer is now grayscale. That should make the colored radar data easier to see!

Thanks for the feedback. I picked the Watercolor map style[1] because it looked pretty and the detail from other styles wasn't needed (like street names). Then I picked The Weather Channel radar color scheme[2] because the green-to-red

Great! Until UI for setting the location is implemented, you can set the location with the `n` (or `name`) URL parameter like this: - https://weather-sense.leftium.com/?n=90210 - https://weather-sense.leftium.com

- Relative humidity is also directly tied to the current temperature. (Warmer air can hold more moisture.) - The dew point is independent from the temperature, so it is effectively a measure of "absolute humidity." - While both me

There are many "design systems" you can use. Here are a few recommendations: https://tailwindcss.com is known for utility-class based styling, but it's also a nice-looking design system. In fact, they wrote a book

I find Kagi's AI summarizer[1] very helpful. If I just want to get a general gist of an article/video, I run it through the summarizer. For media I was only slightly interested in, reading the summary is enough. For other topics,

Sometimes I use LLMs to find vocabulary/definitions in a foreign language. Usually online translators like translate.google.com and papago.naver.com work 99% of the time. However, for that remaining 1% Bing Copilot has come in clutch.

The dev was probably the CTO for several years. When Dane stepped down from the CEO position he asked Rajesh if he wanted to take over. Dane used this process over ten times. Paperless Pipeline is probably the most successful example and se

That was $50/hr over fifteen years ago (circa 2009), and didn't include equity in the project. That dev is now the CEO of the business: - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajesh-dhawan-68702388/ - https:&#x2
