I've had a Combustion thermometer since they came out. The best uses for me are butterflied whole chicken on the grill and roasts in the oven. You can get extremely precise results…

Animation Obsessive continues to deliver some of my favorite reads online. Well researched, detailed, and interesting. I'd wondered about the Ghibli colors, feels like that's not t…

Neither part of that quote mentions a quota for the longlists. Am I missing something?

Yeah, it's still up at this time. That's surprising that it's not being auto cleaned up.

If you want an example of a sacrifice caused by regulation before technology had fully caught up, banning sperm whale oil in automatic car transmissions comes to mind: https://www.…

My mobile browser gave up it was so bad. Shame, it seemed like it could have been an interesting read.

Wow, can't say I saw this one coming. Cloudflare has been putting out a lot of strong work lately. What percentage of their workforce is this?

I’ve seen this done as a carve-out or exception that has to be explicitly documented. Trouble is that documentation is not presented as simple.

Wow that's nuts. What a great idea! I wonder how much of this the commercial flying probe machines can do already. Pretty cool to be able to have this on a home scale.

Here it is for those who haven't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZk2jV5gJbM When I looked it up, turns out I've seen it too!

They are arguing that Trump is controlled by a foreign adversary and doing these things at their direction.

Love your watercolors! What a fun addition to a technical article :)

Curious why the CLI function is `mvd` instead of `mdv`?

If someone put on their website and voicemail that they were available for calls only from 8-10am (for example), or that they would return my call at that time, I'd make a point to…

They almost certainly already do. If you just look into Axon you'll see they have tons of cloud-based and AI products. Axon is the major player in police body cameras in the US.

Same. As far as I can tell, Ghostty is still in active development and unfinished. For regular use iTerm 2 is a complete product that can be relied upon.

I will say that having used the same starter word the whole time that has not come up yet, it's a little disappointing that it may now take even longer to appear.

It wouldn't shock me if multiple people came up with this idea independently. I've certainly experimented with it over the last couple years.

Glad to see you're doing this! I was wondering if the currency button could be changed. Defaulting to Euro is fine, but being able to switch that shortcut would be handy.

geerlingguy and simonw really amaze me at how well and consistently they cover their respective spaces of interest. Great content, easy to read, and thorough! I'm sure there are ot…

Neat! It looks like the first video under "adapting it" is broken somehow. Wish I could see that.

Have you written about the tech behind Frinkiac and Morbotron at all? I'm super curious how it works (although I'm sure I could guess), and also how it might be generalized for oth…

One possible option might be to set up email ingestion. My brokerage will send a daily update, for example. It's not super detailed, but it's a start.

I've found this to be more related to poor representation of the data than inaccurate data. For example on Apple's Weather app, a "rainy" day means a high chance of rain at any poi…

Pleased to see this project in the wild– it seems useful to have a stepper motor with all the control components right on it, and USB-C PD to drive it. This one has an ESP32 chip o…
