I love my e-bike. It sounds like you bought an electric dirt-bike. I'm not going to call you an idiot: the market is confusing and not well regulated, manufacturers are taking adva…

Wi-Fi was never unreliable. The devices that used WiFi were much worse to work with and setup.

Having switched to zigbee devices recently I regret trying to start with WiFi. While I'm not sure how it looks under the hood, adding devices with home assistant was miles easier.

Can you elaborate?

Location and time

That's known as Transmitter Hunting (aka Fox Hunting). It's a fundamental flaw of most wireless communication. Are you referring to something more specific?

There something amazing about that. Thanks for pointing it out!

On a recent project we joked "developers can't read". Occasionally we'd ask for help and be pointed to the docs "I can't read". I suspect there's two big parts to this: 1. Users ex…

Profiling[1] your own repository and tweaking as necessary (possibly disabling auto-status refresh) will likely yield significant performance improvements. I use magit with a very …

Bikes typically have a weight rating. Mine has 150lbs of cargo capacity (is a cargo bike).

Context switching like that is exhausting

For me: Will this task take 30 seconds or 3 minutes. With good planning I've been able to step away and come back. Sometimes it decides to prompt me within 5 seconds for permission…

I'm still writing code. I'm doing it to solve a problem, there's more to writing code than than typing. Recently AI massively simplified "getting started", and all of the tips here…

Menards has done this since at least 2012

I moved out of keep. It's an HTML backend.

The history of ethanol in gas is quiet old. Per https://www.eia.gov/kids/history-of-energy/timelines/ethanol... It looks like it usage of ethanol as an additive started increasing …

Isn't a large part of ethanol it's use as a fuel additive that it boosts octane and is relatively cheap? Compared to leaded gasoline it seems very "green".

A statement that writes itself? Neat!

The default rarely change avoid breaking changes.

It makes for a good test

I've found targeted agents work best. Of course this also means I now have ~8 different tools I can choose to search with. They aren't generic and the output needs to be monitored.…

I couldn't find the tester. Thankfully the client i was tested... And it behaves poorly. Thankfully emacs has a client I can switch to!

I wonder if that's lost with this paper's method of typing. I learned on a Mac. The course material was copying from a book without looking at the screen, then correcting the error…
