I have celiacs, so I'm making a database of every single labeled gluten-free product in grocery stores. (I have 8,858 products across 243 grocery categories). GF products are expensive and hit or miss, I really wanted something where I could keep track of my favorite items. I also want to let people rank them, so maybe I can discover the best gluten free hamburger bun (Rudi's Brioche), or beer (Glutenberg Blonde). I'…

#753I live next to a school, so there's a low speed limit (30 km/h). Still, people drive like race drivers and the city hasn't ever responded to the residents' hopes of introducing a speed camera. I wanted to have some data on how many people speed, the max speed recorded, that sort of thing. Things the city should be doing after many complaints of dangerous driving and people being almost killed on zebra crossings. I ha…
you could install some vigilante speed bumps maybe

#754a platform (not an engine) for building “native”, cross-platform games. exposes WebIDL inspired APIs, including audio, GPU, input, storage, etc. you can think of it like unity without the engine. eventually will support user libraries (read: engines) written in whatever language, usable in whatever language.
very rough, don’t expect everything (anything?) to work. might change the name due to the collision with the Rust library by the same name.

Agree, but also disagree. Our neighboring town has a beautiful system in place. It tracks your average speed over +- 100m. If you speeded, you get a fine and even better: the light always turns red and you have to wait for a minute. If you run that red light, you get another (heftier) fine. If you drive normally, the light is always green. It's beautiful. People actually drive slowly and safely there. And good, becau…

I'm starting to think about a similar thing for noise. The noise of motor vehicles seems to be out of control and I am sure it is causing misery for the majority of the population who have to live near roads. I reckon a single loud motorcycle could disturb tens of thousands of people, potentially waking or startling them, raising blood pressure etc. in a single 10 minute trip. Unfortunately I think awareness of this…
I live in EU city center. Stupid noisy speeders are bane of my existence. Both noise and safety (for biker and pedestrian) ... In some circles even raising this topic makes you whining leftist crybaby.

#758I'm making a violin. I've been a programmer for just over 25 years, and recently decided I wanted to leave the profession. So I'm planning on attending the Violin Making School of America in the fall, and my project before then is to build a violin myself. There are some good in-depth video tutorials, as well as some famous books on the subject, and I'm planning to pair up with an amateur luthier in my town. The tone…

#759Beets takes almost 5 minutes per incremental update of ~1000 folders of tagged flacs with my current configuration, when all I really want it to do is:
- fetch album art if not present
- create folder structure readable by Subsonic server
- symlink relevant files
Very raw and unfinished, currently only implemented adding new albums. However, 5 minutes to <1 sec is a promising improvement.

#760i figure writing online would be a fun way to try and start conversations with people who are interested in the same topics. also, hopefully any technical posts can go to show employers that im not just another junior engineer whos reliant on LLMs for coding, and have some deep knowledge.
