    The coarse carbon mats don't even filter half of the fumes. These super basic fan+mat fume extractors do get the fumes out of your face, which is the most important part, but the p…

    I prefer light mode + f.lux or Redshift. There's no need to stare at cold blue light all day long. Fun fact, there is actually a CSS media query for selecting dark/light themes: ht…

    You need to spin up a server if you want to use modules anyways. Well, it's not a big deal. Just run `python3 -m http.server` or install "http-server" via npm.

    There are ventilation systems with heat recovery. They are usually triggered by a timer or humidity, but it would be also possible to trigger them based on VOC or CO2 levels. Singl…

    I still think that vertical rhythm is snake oil. Yes, it does look neater if you have a striped background and the lines of text align with that. However, you won't use a striped b…

    Devices for measuring the concentration of particulates (PM10, PM2.5, and maybe PM1.0), TVOC (total volatile organic compounds), and HCHO (formaldehyde) are fairly affordable nowad…

    You're still returning a live HTMLCollection or an Array. It's still bad code. Using newer syntax to do the same thing didn't actually improve anything.

    In Chrome and Node, Wasm code is executed by V8. V8 can be embedded in C/C++/Go/etc applications. That allows you to use JS for scripting. This is quite different from compiling to…

    5,000 IU per day is an excessively high dose. 4,000 IU is the upper limit. 2K is high. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis_D

    It's a few KB with Cordova/Phonegap. However, startup is bad, performance is bad, and testing is terrible. Also, making UIs with HTML/CSS/JS really isn't that nice. The workflow wi…

    Yea, it's not a problem. Even more so if you can install apps onto SD cards. There is lots of room on my 32 GB card. I could literally install thousands of simple Flutter apps.
