I used Reeder for a year, but switched to Miniflux because I wanted an RSS reader that could be used outside of my Apple devices. I do miss having a mobile app of my reader, since Miniflux can sometimes be hard to navigate on a mobile devic

I don’t think anyone is making that claim. But when it comes down to switching cost + recurring costs, people are starting to answer how sticky are these products.

What’s scummy about this? Seems like the poster was giving a perspective where they are trying to maximize outcomes of the non-profit rather than maximize dollars raised.

I like the idea of having a grid highlighting system, but didn’t see any info on what happens when you have more than 49 unique parts in your current 7x7 grid. Any plans to allow for multiple unique parts in one cube? And if so, would you p

This reminded me about an old blogpost I read. This linked post may not be the one I remember, but it's close[1]. Back in 2011 there was an earthquake that New Yorkers felt. There were New Yorkers who read tweets of people further sout

When designing hardware, you usually define what the expected operating environments are. Some typical environmental considerations are the min/max temperature, debris ingress, shock & vibration. If you know your product is going t

6 months from announcing rePebble (Jan '25) to shipping your first units (July '25) seems like a quick turnaround for a compact consumer electronics device. Curious to know if these first units are closer to a white label of exist

Could another benefit be the ability to change payloads? If there was a desire to change the orbits and payloads, then could these serve a function as a more responsive version of existing satellites?

I recommend a video by Joe Scott[1] that explores this What If scenario. He created renders showing what rings may look like from Earth and from Space. He also went into details such as how seasons may have been impacted, or how the night s

This is brining back memories of playing with my older siblings. For the long jump, I would smash the buttons as quick as possible and then my sibling would time (triangle?) to jump before the line....looking back at it they probably just w

Thanks for the rec. I'm going to check out "Human Smoke". Now I want to recommend "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son"[1] which is a collection of letters that a man, who made his wealth through the Chicag

You could try a battery powered phone charger since it's a "relatively simple" first project. The big hurdle for learning these types of tools is usually "What buttons do I press to create the output that I want. For the

If you don’t want ti deal with doing the testing yourself, the EPA has a list of certified labs that can test your water for you. If you follow the link, you’ll find Michigan’s cert program and a list of contact info for those labs. I’ve ne

The school I went to had a common Dynamics exam. It was considered the first “real” engineering course you took, and was the foundation for a lot of upper div classes. Regardless of your teacher or class time; all students took the same exa

Sort of. UL and CE are certifications that declare a a product confirms to the standards defined by those groups. The main difference is that UL only focuses on product safety (i.e. Shock and mechanical hazards), while CE covers product saf

I appreciate seeing a hint at the history of the design changes, but now I'm left wanting more. Seeing a cross-section view (CT scan or CAD) that shows how the connectors are mating or secured would probably help me visualize how these

For Stellaris, one of Paradox’s space 4x games, they have a team dedicated to maintenance and a separate team for DLCs. The result are large free updates that improve/rework on the mechanics which compliment the DLCs keeping the games

Still had this tab open today (in typical tab hoarding fashion), and saw no one else commented. So just wanted to say thanks for sharing this fun fact. I learned something new, and started going down a rabbit hole yesterday because of you!

Hey Alex, I bought the app a few years ago when I first found the website. Just opened it up for the first time in a while, and saw I can buy the course through the app. But wanted to let you know (in the low chance you aren't aware) t

Grade level comprehension is an expectation set by the state. Having some standard to aim for gives us a better understanding of if students are generally regressing or progressing. We're able to see tread lines over time, and raise al

I’ve been vaguely following all the AI news on text to image and text that comes out from promos. But I have no idea how a benchmark for text would work. Is benchmarking subjective? Is it based on accuracy of information? How do you actuall

This feels a bit strange. I remember Codecademy as the first wow moment where I saw items being discussed here also being discussed "in the real world". You're also reminding me that I've been on here for 10 years.

You could also hit your head after tripping while walking, but people don’t wear helmets on walks. I think the point was that there is a comfortable level of risk people are willing to take. If you remove cars from the equation, then the p

Adding “City Beautiful” to the list of channels if you enjoy “Not Just Bikes”! It talks more generally about city planning/urban design, but satisfies the same itch of content.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. They’re explicit in saying how they will use information.

Reading *Golden Gates* by Conor Dougherty right now! If anyone is deciding on a book to read about the history of housing policies, then I recommend it to anyone in California over *The Color of Law* (which is also a great book). Does a gre
