The app looks beautiful and the multi forecast model makes a lot of sense. I don't think I am ready to pay an annual subscription for it. Feels like a big ask for the weather when there are so many other free sources to get a forecast

Anyone know a similar-ish font? I'd love to use one, and this looks great to me.

We should all think twice before taking a company PR statement completely at face value and praising them for slowing down faster than their own internal "model" says a human driver would. Companies are heavily interested in prot

I think the ALICE index is great for tracking pure essentials and survivability, which is definitely important, but it's also not unreasonable to track things that aren't 100% essential. My household does care if basic games and t

I read that book blind recently. Did not expect the spiders, but ended up liking those chapters the most.

I wanted to try Fedora recently but it crashed over and over in the install on the screen where you select a time zone. Looked it up and tons of people had the same issue and didn't find any fix that worked for me. Turned me off Fedor

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's partly because a couple of large ad companies decided to stop backing podcasts which took a large amount of money out of the ecosystem. Podcasts are much harder to get analytics on since the eco

I'm a big fan of podcasts; this year I've heard multiple podcasts that I listen to say that the bottom fell out of podcast ad sponsorship money and they lost a lot of funding. Many were looking for alternative ways to fund their

If my cloud provider goes down and my site is offline, my customers and my boss will be upset with me and demand I fix it as fast as possible. They will not care what caused it. If my cloud provider goes down and also takes down Spotify, S

Building little toy projects like some of these is one of my favorite ways to learn and play. Sometimes the value isn't in the initial finished product but in the concepts it exposed and knowledge or inspiration gained from that. I gu

I just did Advent of Code in Python, which isn't my daily use language but was fun to play with. Threw together a script in a little less than 5 min that did what I wanted: downloaded all the screenshots and put into a directory for e

Well I just scraped the hell out of that. Some very pretty images. I know it is labor intensive, but they really put the effort into a massive amount of hand drawn frames for some of these movies and it shows in the final product.

The blog frequently refers to the LLM as "him" instead of "it" which somehow feels disturbing to me. I love to anthropomorphize things like rocks or plants, but something about doing it to an AI that responds in human li

I do both crosswords and frequently look at the daily leetcode problem. I don't always do it if the problem doesn't interest me. But sometimes I learn something new, other times I just hammer out a solution in 2-5 min for a litt

Leetcode already has a feature like this, it just hasn't released for 2025 yet. Usually comes out closer to the end of the year. Here is last years: https://leetcode.com/rewind/2024/ The OPs seems to be more

I used to work for a brokerage API geared at algorithmic traders and in my experience anecdotal experience many strategies seem to work well when back-tested on paper but for various reasons can end up flopping when actually executed in the

Anecdotally my wife came very close to finishing a 4 year degree but ultimately did not for various reasons (she comes from a very disadvantaged family...) and not having one has been a major burden or blocker for her pursuing all kinds o

I have always felt certain media just looks better (to my own personal tastes) on VHS and on CRTs. I know that technically it isn't the highest possible definition or quality and that both have significant drawbacks in terms of fideli

There have been enough data breaches at this point that I'm sure all my info has been exposed multiple times (addresses, SSN, telephone number, email, etc). My email is in over a dozen breaches listed on the been pwned site. I'v

I definitely support NaN not being equal to NaN in boolean logic. If you have x = "not a number", you don't want 1 + x == 2 + x to be true. There would be a lot of potential for false equivalencies if you said NaN == NaN is

Does anyone have a primer on multi-color dithering? I made a fun dither like program for monotone style dithering, but I'm not really sure how to adapt it to color palettes with more than two tones.

Long before I got into programming I would pop into windows notepad whenever I wanted to type something for myself. The bare window is oddly comforting and helps me get into a flow state of writing, brainstorming, or whatever. I heard on n

I think if a country is vehemently an international or foreign website it should be on them to block their citizens access, not on website operators to somehow try to geo-restrict that region from access. That could lead to tons of countr

I love plaintextsports for baseball already. Baseball is a game that serializes to text very well (and radio) vs other sports. Bringing it to the terminal is cool too.
