My business partner and I built AsUnit in ~2004. [0] The first fully functional Unit Test framework for ActionScript. It was great fun and helped get my career off the ground. [0] …

Another multiple task app failure here. The thing that finally worked for me consistently over many years, is carrying a couple folded index cards all the time. These get lists and…

Having made the flip the other way, I highly recommend listening to your instincts. Neither side is objectively better or worse, but having experience in both has changed how I app…

I started on front end work early in my career (mid nineties), moved to full stack and now write C full time for embedded (STM32) and Linux (RPI & Nvidia). I've essentially been di…

Interesting. When I look at the two codes side-by-side with normal (full) brightness, the HDR one looks quite a bit brighter. If I dim my screen brightness substantially, the HDR o…

Both seem to work fine when I point my (aging) Pixel 5 at them rendered on my Asus laptop screen. I'm assuming there's some problem with screen-rendered QR codes that this solves, …

I like that the article is making me think about my beliefs in the long tail and how they may be in tension with my beliefs in the pareto principle. The core long tail claim, as I …

Every year or so, someone shows off a feature of Altium that makes me want to take a closer look, but it's hard for me to let of those text file formats.

Nice to see you Taylor! I'm really enjoying watching the progress on your motor controller!

For folks who are considering Kicad, but not sure if it will be useful at a professional level... We professionally design, engineer and manufacture accessible technology for disab…

Came here to say this. It still catches me off guard when I feel someone clenching up while we talk about ways to improve something. I sometimes take those people through a tour of…

Building user experiences is inherently some of the most difficult software engineering there is. It's not difficult because the existing tools are poorly made (though most of them…

I've thankfully not had a bad experience with Mouser, they're generally just fine for us. I do spend a bit more than OP though, so maybe we're in a different service bracket. I use…

Also came here to read about AT modem commands. Still have no idea (and admittedly little interest) what this other nonsense is... Did it have to use the existing name? Did the aut…

My statistics bullshit detector flashed on this line, "Average incomes have grown much faster than in western Europe or Japan. Also adjusted for purchasing power, they exceed $50,0…

Brass wire sponge works great.

This. So much this. I've been bootstrapping my startup with Regions bank for 3 years and it has been one unending nightmare after another. It's been like having an active and hatef…

I just think it's the incredible to realize that with all this technology available to us, human brains are still where (most or at least much?) knowledge and lore are stored and r…

Not the OP, but just trying to be helpful. "Travelers" are paper packets that move through a manufacturing process with whatever material is being improved. Lots of machine shops h…

Leaving the (probably incorrect?) claim of suppression in the title aside for a moment, I just want to express my deep sadness about this decision. I'm an ex-Googler who has admire…

I got somewhat excited about podman a couple months ago, and then learned that there are painful shenanigans between required versions and the (ancient?) one that is available in t…

YouTube + personal labs were far more effective and enjoyable in my experience. Electroboom and Eeevblog are a couple great channels to get started. The recommendation engine will …

This blew my mind when going into hardware. People be proud as hell of their box businesses!
