Yeah, this is definitely an n-dimensional modeling space. Left/Right wing are only one axis, and as far as I can tell, not even the most definitive in terms of determining if I agree with someone's perspective. I think that would

Agreed, I immediately thought of vehicles, but this is cool too.

No, not like there are with Arduino. Arduino is definitely the best I know of for embedded programming, and it has its place there, but I stopped trying to do real work with it.

Yeah, for sure. My more... uhh.. creative toys are definitely not ESPhome, but it's super cool that I can solder on a few wires to a DHT-11 and throw it in a closet with the weakest USB power plug I own, and end up with a great sensor.

I also really appreciate how routine ESPHome has made building sensor networks in my home. Really just incredibly useful software.

Ever since I got involved with Espressif's ESP32/ESP8266 chips, I haven't even thought about arduinos, except to download the UI, but you don't even need to do that with the right VSCode extensions to make your life bett

As a bit of personal advice from a former blogger who had a million+ visitors per year, it's not about anything except your readers and the community you build. AI might have facts on everything, but AI content will not build a commun

I don't know to what extent it has directly impacted his quality, but it appears that Derek sold Veritasium to a private equity firm https://www.electrify.video/post/electrify-completes-majorit...

Warning: I thought the first 10 minutes of Up were the saddest thing I'd ever watch, but then I watched Grave of the Fireflies.

What a ridiculous, intellectually dishonest comment. Why even spend the time?

PowerToys ( https://legacyupdate.net/download-center/powertoys ) used to be on my "first software to install" list on a new machine. Between Tweak UI and Deskman, you could _almost_ get a minimal X Windows-like

Awesome charts, thanks! I think it bears out that the multiplier for older hardware isn't as extreme as the newer hardware, right?

Undoubtably the cost would go up, but nobody is building out datacenters full of DDR4, either, so I don't figure it would go up nearly as much as DDR5 is right now.

This reminds me of the recent LaurieWired video presenting a hypothetical of, "what if we stopped making CPUs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2OJFqs8bUk Spoiler, but the answer is basically that old hardware ru

Growing up in West Virginia, I was in a moderately sized city (40k people) but when traveling to smaller high schools for football games, you'd often find a shared latrine as the bathroom, and everyone who needed to pee would just crow

Interesting, you know more about it than I do, I suppose. Do you know of any source for Jim discussing how/why he started Garfield?

by MPSimmons 11mo ago
I mean, even originally, Garfield strips had some substance, but Jim Davis really liked money, I think...

Thanks for making this! Yeah, I play it whenever I have some time. Lots of fun!

How old are you? I was told that they're not considered diagnostic until somewhat later in life (>50) because the plaque may not have calcified yet, which could cause a false negative.

One example I think is super interesting is the NWS Radar site, https://radar.weather.gov/ If you go there, that's the URL you get. However, if you do anything with the map, your URL changes to something like https:&#

It's unfortunate that this happened, but this will help drive better engineering decisions in the future for everyone. Glad everyone is mostly okay from this!

>The test correctly ruled out cancer in over 99% of those who tested negative. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the textbook example of understanding false negatives in testing people at scale?

Maybe by that time ARM linux on this platform will be excellent and we can migrate to it for old gear. I still have a 2011 MBP running Linux on my electronics workbench and it is just fine.

Doesn't the click cause the browser to "go" on mouseUp? Selecting is clicking then dragging - this seems like a clear enough difference to me that I've never had problems. In fact, sometimes I will click, and think, &quo

I would hope fervently that HackerNews would be subject to selection bias and would be an exception, but who knows.
