The most striking incongruity with our modern era to me is that the family was all outside when the blast occurred. With pervasive screens, we just don't get outside like we used t…

This sounds so interesting. Are there other all-in-one platforms? It reminds me a little of Citadel/UX ( https://citadel.org ) or software for the Reticulum Network ( https://retic…

I'm building a greenhouse. The frame is done, and I've got plastic and a door on it. Next, I'd like to build boxes to hold soil and allow for easy watering.

Thank you. I do think it has uses beyond sewing; enlarging art, for example, or perhaps painting stage backgrounds, or maybe laying out patterns for building something out of wood.…

I build a computer app to make it easier to do projector sewing. This allows you to take a PDF sewing pattern and use a projector (often mounted on a ceiling, shining down on a cut…

This is interesting as I've been working on localisation for an app I've made. It's in Electron. I find it super frustrating that when I ask for `navigator.languages` I get 'en-US'…

I've only tried Valentina/Seamly2D but yes, most of these programs let you export your design as a pattern that can be constructed, typically as a PDF. Once you have a PDF, you can…

Take a look at Snap. It was originally a scratch mod, but does allows for all sorts of advanced things. https://snap.berkeley.edu

I've got an Electron app in the works which I'm planning to sell to Windows and Mac users (probably through the platform's app stores, using in-app purchases). Is such a thing poss…

I liked "Signal: Understanding What Matters in a World of Noise" by Stephen Few.

I'm working on a web application, albeit one that runs locally on a user's computer and doesn't use the internet. I saw a pain point in a niche audience and realized I could fix it…

Do take a look at the results from the citizen scientists doing a potato diet study, and now a "half-tato" diet: https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2023/03/13/half-tato-diet-comm...

You need to look at the documentation page to get a sense of what this thing actually is.

Looks like the price has finally come down a bit, but it did seem to be $2000+ for something with a saw stop, but only $200+ for a regular table saw, making it out of reach of many…

This is surreal to read. I've always had a printer. The last one we got is a Brother MFC-J5945DW. What's really nice is that it has refillable ink tanks (I'm using 3rd party refill…

Take a look at AREDN, the Amateur Radio Emergency Digital Network -- https://www.arednmesh.org . They use commercial WiFi gear (see https://www.arednmesh.org/content/supported-plat…

This is so exciting. I've got an old netbook and decided to put back on the OS it originally came with, Windows 7 Starter. I was so surprised when I couldn't run updates; I finally…

I stumbled across a project called DietPi -- https://dietpi.com . Scroll halfway down the main page and you'll see many SBCs that it works on and might be good alternatives. Khadas…

FYI, the internet archive hosts a ZIM archive that has dumps of wikipedia and many other works. https://archive.org/details/zimarchive I wish it was a little more obvious how to se…

I applaud Mr. Haidt for standing up for what he believes in.

When I was trying to use it keyboard only, I never could remember the magic shortcuts to access the menu bars, even after tweaking system preferences. Using the keyboard with Windo…

This sounds interesting. Unfortunately, the blog author didn't link to Blackbird, and there are many things with that name. Is it an open-source project somewhere?

This is pretty nifty.
