Oh, fascinating. The latest one was definitely monohydrate - maybe I was using HCL years ago and just don't remember. I'll look into that. Thanks!

I feel like for me it would be thwarted by the fact creatine seems to completely mess up my sleep. I don't remember that from when I was younger, but recently tried adding it to my diet and had to bail.

Omnipod for the win. But, yeah, I have a bunch of disposable needles in my kit as a backup. Even so, travel is stressful. My carry on is full of backup pods/sensors. But now that my insurance is being annoying and only filling a mon

Very cool. Just fyi, the GitHub links to some of the docs (like self-hosting) give 404, as do some of the internal links in the docs.

I hope I don’t miss it when you post! I’ve wanted to make a ribbon mic but haven’t gotten around to it. I’ve seen where people use Mylar emergency blankets as the membrane for condenser mics. The closest I’ve gotten is accidentally having

There is a /r/3dprintedinstruments subreddit that if you sort by best of all time has a lot of good stuff. Fipple flutes like recorders and ocarinas tend to be easy to start with. I also had good luck with the Modular Fiddle [ ht

I don’t know how niche they are, but a few I’ve done in the past - 3D printed musical instruments. Print other designs or contribute your own - lock picking. When you really get into it, you modify locks to make them more of a challenge a

I don’t know what the regulations are in your country (looks like you are maybe in Canada?), but in many countries it is straightforward to get an amateur radio license, and then you can have all sorts of fun (under the rules).

Amateur radio is pretty approachable and has lots of opportunity to go down those rabbit holes.

Is there a way I can see which would run on a raspberry pi?

I sometimes would bring ear-protection headphones that I'd wear over my earbuds to muffle the train noise.

I used an Akai LPK25 with my iPhone (using the Camera Connection Kit and a combined usb hub/dac) and an app called Simply Piano. They make a wireless version of that now that would simplify the setup a great deal. It is a mini keyboa

I used to get so much done on my BART commute. Also learned piano on a little 25 key midi keyboard until the program I was learning from started needing a 26th key.

Having it automatically follow tardigrades is so cool! It sounds like great fun. Did you make the ML model for tracking them? I've wanted to make this the Openflexure Microscope ( https://openflexure.org/projects/m

I feel like this is thinking too small. I don’t want a better textbook. I want them to be basing this off of the experience of going to the most effective private tutors.

Can you say more on your experience here? I've not heard people use that term before, and I'd be interested in how it received/what you think the difference is.

When you say "almost" - could you say something about the codebases you saw where this doesn't apply? I'd love to hear about the best codebase you were SWE for and what we could learn from it.

I miss our east bay library. Not saying other places aren’t good, but that’s where we were when our kids were little and the staff was just so amazing.
