There's some mix between "it's slow" and "it sets its timeout threshold too low" - a lot of queries would be OK if they just had a bit more time to run. And unfortunately, the time wasted on the badput of the k

I've been looking at the calendar and date types for BACnet, which is a protocol used in building automation (and hence, scheduling is super-important) - one of the things that it's got is some nice support for repeating dates&#x2

I'm years behind on Javascript (I'm circa 'AJAX is new' in my knowledge) but I've been having good luck catching up using the Babel REPL with small snippets to just see how the new features get translated into the J

Is there a good source of long strings of addressable lights that doesn't involve any soldering or cutting up wires to get the power right? I have bad luck with actual hardware projects and they usually end with the magic smoke escapin

Is there any word on the screen material? I have a Pixel 3a that for the most part I really like, but one of the ways I think they got the price down was by using a glass that was much less scratch-resistant. My original Pixel never scratch

How are the "cards they like" getting posted onto the list of votable cards? It'd be more fun if there were a few thousand outputs to vote on, complete with all the junk from the AI, on rather than a human editor filtering ou

I wish the PureDarwin folks would prioritize clear build instructions. It'd be really great to see something like a "Linux From Scratch" or process to build a bootable disk image using only what's in their git repos. (Ma

One thing this piece leaves out is that if the operation/creation is in fact expensive, you want to make sure you have some kind of two-phase option so you don't inadvertently create multiple copies. If the client crashes after th
