I learned lots about building a full-stack web app ground-up as well as how to containerize the whole thing with Docker.

#452A browser extension called Curb Your Consumerism that detects when you are on a checkout page and shows you how long it took you to earn enough money to complete that purchase. The idea is about increasing the mindfulness of your purchases and reducing unnecessary environmental waste driven by impulse buying. Here's what I'm planning next: - Detecting the checkouts and extracting the checkout total generally across w…
For a number of bay area devs I suspect this might have the opposite psychological effect. A $50 price tag might put some people off until they realize it's only 15-20 minutes of work.
On the other hand I often base my purchases based on "Will this $50 spend save more than N minutes of my time"
For example a top-filling humidifer may cost $50 more than a bottom-filling one but I spend an extra 1 minute fighting with the bottom-filling one and cleaning up water spills so after 15 uses it makes up its price difference.

#453The sound of the chime ringing is picked up by a microphone connected to an arduino-like device. A small script is executed which results in my Alexa devices announcing that someone is at the door.
All the modifications / additional hardware fit inside the existing chime housing. It's been quite fun learning about electronics (For example, the chime is powered by 16v AC, but the microprocessor requires 5V DC) and writing the software for it (while admittedly is very simple) was challenging as I'm not familiar with C++.

#460Basically just takes the url of an existing stream and then segments it up into 10 seconds audio clips, then a second process stitches the clips together between two time stamps to give us a complete episode, the benefit being that if we forget to schedule an episode we can just post a job for it to be generated at any time.
