I'd love to do that, but I'm split between different browsers on different platforms. I'd also love to consolidate browsers so this isn't an issue, but iOS hobbles anything that's not Safari. Idk part of me thinks m

I realized that all I needed was basically a way of syncing bookmarks across a bunch of different platforms (linux, mac, iOS, android) and browsers, and I didn't really need any of the fancier features like offline access. I had claude

I've thought about hosting my side projects in my basement, but then I'd be susceptible to power outages and ISP downtime. If a drive fails while I'm traveling I'm SOL. If I accidentally lock myself out, there's no

You can do this with Cursor. If your docs are at example.com, simply type "@example.com" and it will go read that webpage. I've even had luck simply dropping an entire OpenAPI spec into my repo and adding the file to the cont

I've been using my MacBook mostly as a thin client. I use VSCode's ssh feature to remote in to a much beefier Linux machine. First, VSCode's ssh feature is well designed, and it's pretty seamless. Second, it lets me opti

If I may attempt to summarize: CORS is a mechanism for servers to explicitly tell browsers which cross-origin requests can read responses. By default, browsers block cross-origin scripts from reading responses. Unless explicitly permitted,

To be clear, this isn't a problem with the breakout board. The issue is inside the microcontroller itself, which, iiuc, is why there is such a long lead time on fixing it.

Good point. That does sound plausible then. Here's my napkin math after some quick googling: - A human produces about 40 watts of heat while sleeping. - Thermoelectric coolers have a coefficient of performance (CoP) between 0.3-0.6. So

I'd love to be wrong about this, but I'm very skeptical that the aquarium chiller pictured in the post can move enough heat to cool a human. As mentioned in the article, it uses thermoelectric coolers which are extremely inefficie

The title says "corn syrup" but the article is entirely about high fructose corn syrup, which is different. Corn syrup is mostly glucose. HFCS is when you use enzymes to convert a lot of that glucose into fructose.

I think the biggest cost is labor. Dumpster diving for speakers and then spending dozens of hours in high skilled labor to replace the insides is actually hilarious. I wonder how much he'd charge a client for a project this size? Proba
