But the buoyancy variation with depth is pretty dangerous, I think. I do not know if that variation is truly the fault of the suit or the fleshy diver.
Neoprene compresses at pressure, which means it's less buoyant at lower depths.

#673I've recently been working on a simple-to-use birthday reminder service (simple as in: no need to open any accounts, no need to ever login anywhere, no passwords etc.): https://ReminderExpress.com Just finished working on v1 of this a few minutes ago, by sheer coincidence; it should now be fully functional.
Love the idea of not having to sign in. Got an error message however.

This is awesome! Would be interesting to add BLE Beacon support for autoplay when you walk up to a specific area on the tour.
Thanks! Ya there are a ton a features I think you could add to this - beacon and location support would be very cool.

#676I have a project idea that might be useful for someone to learn about audio processing (and maybe neural networks?). I like to listen to audio and watch video of podcasts (and lectures and other human speech) at faster speeds. Sometime, especially if I'm trying to "skim" to see if the media is worth listening to carefully, I'd like to listen at 3x or faster. Very often, the limiting factor is the intelligibility of t…

#677Project: R.I.P.Link - a tool for finding dead links on the web[0]. The inspiration for this project came from Wikipedia and the Internet Archive partnering to fix broken links on Wikipedia[1]. After briefly searching around I couldn't find any great tools for this, and I decided it would be an interesting side-project. I was also looking for a good medium-size project to improve my Go skills and understanding of conc…

That's cool I've been kind of thinking building something like this. Are you using Twilio? How are the transcriptions?
Thinking of removing them since honestly, they aren't very good. Yep using Twilio. Would love to chat more if you're interested.
Not sure if there is a difference but might be worth trying a few different services.

#680It takes an awful amount of time to maintain, since there are no APIs and I have to parse the webpages. Every other week/month some webpage changes and I need to adjust it.
It has been going on for years, and I need to update a lot of internal things, too. It is all in German, I need to work on an English translation. Often libraries have multiple copies of the same book. Then you want to search the book, select one copy and order that copy. The current version only stores these copies as strings, because each book is a list of string->string pairs, which looks bad when the user is show the string "Copy 1, library building 1, 123456, orderable". (i.e. an index, building where you find it, the signature of, and status). I just made a new version that would show that all such copies in a 4-column table, but it needs more testing before a release. Each library has different columns, and too many columns might not fit on the screen.
And I made my own programming language to minimize the amount of time spend on adjusting the webpage parsing: http://www.videlibri.de/xidel.html
It was just for small webpages, so speed did not matter and its evaluation just interprets the syntax tree, but now I made it XQuery compatible. Someone wrote a raytracer in XQuery, and when I run that in my implementation, it runs quite slowly. I probably need to build a byte-code for it.
