The key here is scale. What works in inches often falls apart at feet. The structure is holding about 33 psi over the area (which is rigidly supported from below), much more along the contact edges. By comparison balsa wood can support sign

I really hope someone at Apple is paying attention. The text entry experience on iOS 26 really is frustratingly bad. Almost unusable (I’ve been going to the laptop for anything more than a few words). It’s not just the keyboard (display gli

I started a bit younger and am a bit older, and relate. But only so much. I started programming in 3rd grade (also BASIC) when I found a computer and learned how to play a game on it, then found the source code for the game and randomly st

In a perfect world, yes. But mechanisms aren’t perfect and it’s entirely possible if not likely that steps will be missed as friction increases over time and things wear. I’m not saying these things matter much in this context. The clock wi

I built a feature priority and sizing app based on this for my team years ago. It worked very well technically, but it was a challenge to get people past their desire to drive the process with anecdotes and gut feels.

> Faster evolution does not necessarily translate to better outcomes. For individuals, of course yes. But for populations? Also yes, but temporarily as dead-ends (A), or inconsequential stopovers (B), or distasteful (C).

Shorter lifespans drive faster evolution. That was taught in basic biology and we, as a society, know it all too well (infectious diseases). It’s difficult to square obsession with a long life with a healthy humanity.

Why would I use this rather than ‘sam build && sam deploy’? Coding template files is basically a non-issue these days, and provides great flexibility.

That's a bummer. While I'm not in your shoes, I can understand the excitement of solving a new library's "puzzle". And, how that may seem less valuable when a code generator can nearly instantly apply itself to usin

I don’t want to believe for a second anyone would walk away from Silicon Valley because of being taxed. The impact on the calculus of reward simply doesn’t make sense. On the other hand I am always surprised by people and the strange things

Fair point that yes I’m eating my own dog food here. And I’ve been called a robot enough times maybe I should keep track. To the question, UDP is easier on a battery than MQTT.

WireGuard doesn’t add noticeable battery drain in my experience. I have a fleet of Xiao ESP32-C3 devices with DS1820 temperature sensors that run on batteries and send samples over WireGuard. The battery drain is 100% a function of the tran

I monitor packet loss on both sides all day every day. It’s still a thing, but different than I’d imagined: - Episodic most often. Something transient causes high loss for a short time. This happens locally and “in the cloud”. - Persistent

WireGuard is far smaller in my experience. I don’t set aside the possibility that someone more clever than me can get IPsec condensed down to something tiny but I never could — it’s just too much in one bag, so to speak.

The refresh rate must be something like 20fps when scrolling the text of long posts. I’m not sure and haven’t measured. While I’m working I glance at it from time to time and get a sense of the wide breadth of conversations going on at any

This seems like a plainly bad idea, though that doesn’t lessen the chances of it becoming law. In practice, it’s silly — building 3D printers side steps it, yes? Can I print nothing when the registry of banned prints is down, as it will ver

I didn’t get that the IDE is running on both sides, if that’s true. Wow.

How so? Perhaps I don’t understand the context. Undoing text display is trivial, undoing code changes is already there, what’s missing? We’re not talking eons, less than a second.

Interesting. It seems to me that client side prediction and lag compensation (aka the basics for games in similar situations) would have been a viable alternative.

All the comments, all the time. This was a fun (funky?) little project that I enjoyed building and am enjoying on my desk as well. Source for the display and backend are both on github if you're so inclined: https://github

This is an interesting left hand vs right hand thing. Apple is making it more difficult for find a particular app while coding assistance is making it easier to build one. At some point those curves intersect and the App Store becomes irrel

That’s not uncommon, but having grown up in a house heated by wood fires I knew that when building our current house. The main fireplace is on a central wall and has enormous thermal mass. Beauty and utility can be combined.

A while back I worked on a project where s3 held giant zip files containing zip files (turtles all the way down) and also made good use of range requests. I came up with seekable-s3-stream[1] to generalize working with them via an idiomatic

This lack of ASIC is interesting to me. If it existed, that would very much change the game. And, given the simplicity of WG encryption it would be a comparatively small design (lower cost?)
