    I had a similar situation with a rental car, driving on winding roads. The beeping happened periodically as I was driving around hairpin bends, and the eye detection was triggered …

    This is terrific. I love reading about the creative process involved in a project like this, finding cool solutions to self-imposed boundaries. I think the mix of highly rational r…

    Yes, I'm definitely thinking I'll update it with the 2026 - seems like there's quite a few pieces so far this year that didn't appear in the 3 years I chose. I also thought I might…

    Ooh nice pickup, might have to track down the original playlists on Archive.org and see if I can verify if it was indeed Goldberg. I did think it was odd that Goldberg didn't show …

    Thank you! I really appreciate it. The eCharts bump charts look great. I kind of rolled my own generated SVG paths. I wanted to learn a bit more about how Bezier curves worked, and…

    Interesting points around what can be categorised as classical music. I took the data as a given from ABC Classic FM, and as you mentioned it's voted on by listeners in Australia s…

    I wondered about that as well! I suspect it might have been different songs or movements from the opera, but it didn't specify on the ABC site so I thought it would be a fun Easter…

    Good point, thanks for the suggestion - I made the svg non-selectable because of some quirks when tapping the dots on mobile, but I might see if I can override that for the text el…

    Show HN: ABC Classic 100 Rankings visualised

    This weekend is the ABC Classic FM countdown, which prompted me to dust off an old un-published data visualisation of rankings from previous years. I've considered adding a search …

    This makes me think of an example from the PuLP docs of solving sudoku using constraint based linear programming. https://coin-or.github.io/pulp/CaseStudies/a_sudoku_problem.... Th…

    Slightly off topic, but this made me think of an example from the PuLP (Python Linear Programming library) that solves a sudoku using LP constraints. https://coin-or.github.io/pulp…

    I'm currently waiting for my kid to arrive on a bus that may or may not be running late. With regards to tracking, it would be really handy to be able to check their location to ge…

    Honestly, I think there's value both in riffing off rules of thumb and using that riff to revisit and re-contextualise things we already think we know. Everything is new to someone…

    100% agree. I used to use pencil and paper (and still do if I'm in person), but for a quick and dirty sketch to communicate ideas over screen share, MSPaint hits the sweet spot bet…

    If you're interested in faster uploads in Australia, I'd recommend giving launtel a try. They have a pretty wide range of speed options (e.g. 1000/400,250/100), and charge by the d…

    This was written on my mobile, so haven't had a chance to test it, but here's my first pass at modelling it in SQL: select sum( case when prev_cust.cust_id is null then 1 else 0 en…
