That's definitely worthy of praise. Excellent work. How old were you at the time?

You sound like someone dying to live on a sailboat for a few months of the year. There’s something quite cozy and gentle about those berths when done well.

Not having dukes around, along with higher global avg prosperity, is also a very recent trend. And seemingly a pretty good one.

Wow, 9? That’s tough. I was just starting a 12yo on coding and it was hard to teach beyond what they were immediately interested in. I like the other comment that stressed the kid doesn’t want to learn to code, he wants to make a game and s

I don't even know what that means. It's a like a "move it along" policy to your problems. I hesitate to even ask: what tools do you imagine the feds have to fix homelessness, outside of driving a good economy, and perhap

I'm probably not as cynical about the Court. Their decision not to hear a challenge earlier can also be rooted in "ripeness". If you have a lower court system that can expose some deeper consideration and debate on the attrib

A workaround is to use OneDrive with Camera Upload feature turned on, and then sync this back down to your PC. You can choose how to sort (e.g. folders by year and month).

Late in responding to this but take for example using Home Assistant to integrate all the things - environmentals, presence, energy monitoring, switching, access, audio, video, etc. I don’t even think my house is all that sophisticated comp

I never recall sewing my own patches (thanks mom!) but I like sewing today, mostly to repair clothing, which gives me an absurd amount of satisfaction. It occurs to me that it should have been one of the very first merit badges a scout earn

Global barrels per day demand globally still going up, not flatlining, not going down. It’s great that demand isn’t rising at a faster rate. https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php

Do they work completely locally or just without the Roomba app? I mean, if you prevent the i-series from phoning home, does it still work? I guess I could test this pretty easily, but frankly will be pleasantly surprised/impressed if R

The impetus is people wanting a robot to vacuum. That should be pretty easy to understand. They have become cloud enabled. Options for a reputable alternative with automation integration not well known, certainly to mass consumer market.

Answering the burning question: no, Roomba hardware is locked up and not supported.[1] But this is really awesome. I don’t love the idea of Roomba having a floor plan of my house and constantly prompting me to buy more crap directly in-app,

Some of this is simply what’s considered germane to modern survival vs not. The information about imperial atrocities (whether English, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Powhatan, etc) is there for the interested, but in a child’s limite

I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing - what you get at Home Depot is mostly a gimmick or a convenient point solution like light bulbs. You’re right that privacy is compromised on those solutions, but I also don’t think it’s brin

Personally, I shop for automation features based solely on their capacity to integrate with Home Assistant.

Right but isn’t this kind of illustrating the problem with the state of home automation in general? I mean, if you care enough to know about the features of your router, your also likely the kind of person who can pay attention to and work

I think that the vendor ID limitation is less of a hurdle, realistically, than it’s made out to be, especially in the short term. Simple cert costs and loss of captured markets/lack of demand are the bigger impediments. But I don’t thi

Windows 11 was tough in the beginning - the loss of customization points compared to 10, specifically the start menu, but they slowly started adding that stuff back in (folders, adjustable real estate for pinned apps) after we cried loudly

I think it’s less about forcing Rolex to sell online, and more about forbidding them from preventing their partners from selling online, if I’m reading it correctly. Rolex can sell only in B&M (if they wanted to sell direct) but they ca

Sadly the only cobalt mine in the US just closed. Laid off 300 workers, and that probably included their object-oriented COBOL devs. https://www.npr.org/2023/12/14/1219246964/cobalt-is-importan...

I don’t think the inclusivity check in Word is using AI, is it? I think it’s more akin to a key word search and maybe grammar check.

No, engineers and software developers tend to be overly optimistic about the ability and speed to do things, and it’s integral to the task of building cool shit. It’s simply not lying. It may look that way to those on the outside, and you c
