Some of the bottle style ones claim to go up to 6W, they would also be easier to double or triple up. They are not nearly as nice and efficient as the hub dynamos though

Instead of building up a sane system for handling dependencies, just copy-paste them whole cloth into your code! Instant rockstar status!

Story time! I Worked with not just a "rockstar" but what I suspect was a "superstar" for about three years at my last gig. It was a small company with about 3-4 developers at any g…

I haven't found it that useful for doing any actual "agentic" coding at $DAYJOB with lots of legacy code it wasn't trained on (because proprietary). I do find it useful for summari…

Since everyone else is sharing their experiences with this book here is mine: Reading this books was a huge turning point for me as someone with diagnosed mild Autism. I think a lo…

"Our goal should be to give an LLM coding agent zero degrees of freedom" Wouldn't that just be called inventing a new language with all the overhead of the languages we already hav…

Can't wait for SEO ..ahem.. AI optimized docs for everything... :/

Ok, I think you are going to need to explain to me why "Overconfidence resulting from ignorance" isn't exactly the same thing as "lacking metacognitive ability to understand one's …

Interesting. It would be great if they could open source that too. I would love me some fully hackable smartwatch hardware!

I didn't say too tall, I just said tall.

Ooof, no hardware schematics? Also missing datasheets? This projects seems like a very tall task to me without these fundamental missing pieces. Will Google release them soon or am…

This is good advice but only it has been followed from the beginning and consistently throughout the development of the original code. It is applicable to large organizations with …

`the do {} while (0)` block with breaks does exactly what goto does but it is so much more hacky, less flexible and harder to follow IMHO.

Maybe this is what you are looking for? https://github.com/GhostWrench/ttrpg9000 . Full disclosure: this is my design and I do sell it on Etsy (Unfortunately I am currently out of …

Thanks! I will have a read. Looks very interesting.

Thank you so much for this analysis, even as a person with layman's grasp on economics you made the deception in host's apparent off the cuff assertion very obvious. I think a big …

What does HN think? Too trival to be useful? I commonly use an exception handling method like this in my projects.

A little device I created for dice rolling on the go. Included is everything you need to create your own, PCB design, C software and 3D printed case design.
