I agree but it’s been surprisingly humid since we got here.

Thank you. Great links.

Excellent. Thank you and I will post back (Show HN?).

Got it. Thank you - drilling a well sounds like a non-starter.

We don’t need to drink the resulting water - I think we’d just it for watering the garden so we could skip the filter/boil steps.

by callumprentice 4y ago
Yep. We’ve turned down the sprinklers so much that the grass is turning brown. We may well end up having to replace it with something more drought tolerant.

Interesting, thank you. My assertion was based on my own 17 year old self, my peers at that time as well as people that age now. Sounds like the opposite could be true. I find that quite heartening.

Inspiring story all round but this paragraph stood out for me: “I didn't have a mentor to help me, really, so each time a motor failed, I had to do tons of research and try and troubleshoot what went wrong,” he says. “But eventually on

I made an interactive version 4 years ago. https://callumprentice.github.io/apps/climate_temperature_ch... - I should probably update it with recent climate data.

I wasn't aware of such a thing until I came across the parent thread - something to look into for sure

Yeah - that's what Center Cam does I think. You might be able to make both the lens and the support really small and/or transparent these days too.

by callumprentice 4y ago
Oh good point - I hadn't thought about that and of course, no one will trust it's off via software. I should imagine that's a blocker for many people.

by callumprentice 4y ago
Yeah, agreed - I had wondered if 4 lenses at the screen corners (maybe) plus some clever software could maybe do the trick too.
105.
by callumprentice 4y ago
The quality aspect is obviously important but I'd suggest that the location of the lens is also vital if you don't want to have meetings where everyone seems to be not looking at you. I cannot wait until cameras work behind the sc

My dad who passed away some years ago on my 50th birthday, worked on the design for the AGR for many, many years. Fond memories of him picking me up from school and excitedly telling me the interesting problems he had to solve that day on t

Nod - that explains why omicron grew so quickly but why, in doing so, does delta not persist?

by callumprentice 5y ago
Can anyone point me to a reliable source that explains in layman's terms why one cancels out the other and it's not possible to have both (say) delta and omicron at once. Somewhat tongue in cheek, but since cancellation seems to b

I wonder if something similar could be mixed in with police/ambulance/fire sirens? I have to pull over for one of them maybe a third of the time when I’m driving these days and it can be hard to determine where they are approachin

Love it - only comment I have is to consider (it may not be possible) making the "●" characters in the password entry field match the rest of the design - similar to the stylized radio button asterisk indicators perhaps? Great wor

Thank you so much for both of those links. Absolutely fascinating - especially the Smarter Every Day channel which I wasn’t aware of. Excited to watch more of it.

Can someone please point me to a concise description of what an NFT is? The usual answer is "DUH! It's a non-fungible token" as if that explains everything. I get that it's an image (maybe any digital media?) and it is a

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to watch it again.

It must be approaching 40 years ago now, but I remember watching a BBC TV weekly documentary called Horizon that was all about the fledgling computer graphics industry - I think the episode was called Painting by Numbers. Alvy Ray Smith wa

I thought that was a pretty good list apart from the missing "Allow users to paste their username/password into a field". The common pattern I hate though is when you have the password field focused and switch out of your bro

I use SQLite in applications via their C/C++ interface and it’s spectacular. I’d love to see a version of this that I could embed too.
