Right. My brother and I discussed this out of curiosity and you're spot on. Prerecorded message is sufficient, and AI introduces too many wildcards. But the biggest reason is that ethically, it somehow seems very wrong to trick my gran

Yep, that's pretty much spot on :D I never knew about ATA's! I think would have solved things a little more elegantly. Thanks!

In our case it was a landline, but yeah something like this would work if it was mobile!

We use a custom twilio number, some rerouting logic (which is easily configured in twilio), and an api endpoint to determine the next relative that will answer. There is also a minimal frontend to configure things like who is on the roster,

My grandmother has dementia. About twice a day, she calls my parents every 5 minutes, forgetting that she just hung up. The calls are always the same: "You live there now. Yes you have money. We came to visit you yesterday." This

Nicely designed site! Some unsolicited feedback/idea: I like the examples page but it's a few too many clicks away for the average internet attention span. Could you have a couple interactive examples directly in the hero on the f

Guitareo is excellent. No affiliation, just a happy customer. Wish I had started with them from the start. That Mitch Hedberg quote is amazing!

Can you please elaborate? How does this not interfere with typing?

I'll start with things that really worked for me last year: I began every day with a short daily walk in the morning. 15 minutes. It's a fairly easy goal so it's possible to stick to it, and it made a surprising difference in

How is it done? Could you point to the section of code in the source code?

what does `ci"` do in vim? I'm decent with vim, but it didn't make sense to me - then I tried it and it didn't do anything.

First of all, that's a very nice landing page and I can see this being useful. I love that I can post a comment anonymously and don't need to sign up. Makes for a very low friction experience. Some feedback for the landing page -

I found the title a bit click-baity, I would have loved to learn how far I can go without a message queue. The jump from "saving events to be processed works pretty well" to "you should use message queue" wasn't exp

This is my first time hearing about Playwright. Curious to know what you like about it over other frameworks? I didn't glean a whole lot from the website.

I tried downloading this with my recipe manager (Paprika) and it parsed it as this: * 1 Dutchman * 1 Dutchwoman * 1tsp of consent * It comes together in about five minutes * Set aside and let rise for nine months

Looking forward to trying this recipe. That picture looks divine. Can you share the other two recipes? Here is my grandma's crepe recipe in exchange: 1 cup flour 1 egg 1 cup milk 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vegetable oil 1 tsp sugar pinc

My life-partner and I both used to work in separate WeWorks, for our full-time jobs. My colleagues (and hers) were very supportive and bought a couple, then people would see them around on desks and word-of-mouth kind of just spread that wa

That's a good question. As a disclaimer - I don't have a lot of experience manufacturing in China, but I can tell you what I learned from my experience! And from what I can tell it is extremely common, yes. Our factory works with

Great question! I did do a bit of QA myself: dishwasher cycles; hot & cold liquids (a good test of borosilicate glass); drop tests from very low heights (it is glass after all). Most factories worth their salt also undergo some third pa

I found a factory on Alibaba. I started with a list of about 40 factories that seemed legit and might accommodate a small order (MOQ in their terminology). Since it was a custom shape that I wanted, I shared my designs, and after a bit of b
