    It looks really cool, except the case looks like it puts mechanical force on the connectors, which aren't exactly known for reliability. Having a tie bar with a screw into each hal…

    I have a ~200 line file of style rules that I copy and paste between all my projects(There's got to be a better way to manage files like that!) but I can never quite tell if it's h…

    They made the laser drill from The Core IRL?

    I have my own personal formal debrief process for larger projects: https://github.com/EternityForest/THUNDERWARS Usually if I notice anything of interest to others, it just winds u…

    There are two other solutions, make the automation so reliable that the human skill is not needed, or make the consequences of failure low enough that you can just accept failure. …

    This inventory tracker app that runs entirely in the browser with yjs, and syncs over peer.js, that I have not been very good about using lately https://eternityforest.github.io/St…

    I've been doing LARP and tabletop most of my life, that's exactly the feel I was going for. Most of the actual functional "backend" parts come from computer science and various res…

    I can't imagine that mics are going to be affected by anything that doesn't also seriously bother at least some animals, definitely not something I'd use outside of some ultra secu…

    A web based inventory management app. I've wanted to try something like this for a long time, but it always seemed completely impractical to spend a few weeks on before AI, without…

    Local hubs solve that pretty well, aside from still needing to update the hub.

    I remember doing my own backups with rsync a super long time ago! It worked pretty well, but it didn't have compression, encryption, desktop integration, or deduplication, and addi…

    I'd love to see a new battery standard. Something future proof for new chemistries, consumer friendly and self protected, able to be series-es and paralleled if needed, etc. Maybe …

    I've been using one folder per client, one folder per project for years, with no issues, although I don't tend to work on small pieces very often, I rarely do anything that seems t…

    Sodium ion showed up a year or two ago and you can buy them on Amazon as 12v lead acid replacements, 18650s are also available but the voltage range is different from normal lithiu…

    Debugging rarely works correctly between languages, and features like "find all references" usually break too. Maybe that's not an issue with Prolog because a C logic solver would …

    Is there an online demo? How does it compare to Opus?

    Comment #46441209

    Tests freeze behavior in place, and manual end to end testing can confirm that the most common paths are at least kind of correct ish. Obviously that's not good enough, but I'd muc…

    I'm surprised there's not a lot more work on "backend free" systems. A lot of apps seem like they could literally all use the same exact backend, if there was a service that just g…

    Mostly still just working on my KaithemAutomation project, that I maintain for creating interactive props and puzzles, plus a few trivial not yet released projects. Right now, I'm …

    With off the shelf options, preferring FOSS if possible, I still enjoy using and contributing to open source. Some of the substitutions wound up being a step down in features, or r…

    I did a similar thing a few years back, but rather than simplifying, I focused on getting rid of hacky DIY things that needed maintenance. I got rid of almost all the customized so…
