https://gaggiuino.github.io is neat, and I’ve loosely followed it as a lover of good espresso for the last couple of years. But it looks like they’ve change their stance to have the source code be closed since I last looked at i

That’s my bad! Will expand those out and remove going forward. I shouldn’t be surprised that Amazon app does by default now.

No affiliate link there (at least not intentionally) that’s the link that Amazon app brings up with share/copy link functionality. Mods feel free to alter/delete as needed.

The same primary author just recently published a novel as well. If you enjoy the writing style of the readme/faq you may enjoy it too. Feels like it might be a good vacation read. midnight's simulacra https://a.co&#x2F

For anyone new to it, the words you’re looking for are “continuous glucose monitor” (GCM), and “flash glucose monitor”. Popular brands of it in the US are Freestyle Libre and Dexcom. Their final cost to you will vary hugely by your insuranc

It likely has more to do with the “data” team being different than the “application” team at a lot of big companies. It leads to many handoffs and inefficiencies and so people do a lot of things to route around it. Not a knock against SQLit

By most measures https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=patio11 seems to be doing alright. But given the trajectory I’m not sure the anecdote holds.

| Webauthn with fido/u2f is supported on most websites and oidc providers. I wish that was true. I’ve found that webauthn is becoming more common in the last year, but is still relatively rare. Many “important” sites and services make

Two things stand out to me: 1) the ability to create content, and have that content consumed, that lets new folks come up to speed. Reading and comprehending is a lot harder for a lot of people than we like to admit. 2) Letting people know

A lot of LBs in the 40s and 50s. I’d qualify those more as medium sized (but meaner) uglies :)

The same could be said for nearly every sales call that I’ve been on the receiving end of. It doesn’t make it “right”, but (nearly?) everyone who is involved in these conversations on both the buyer and seller sides of it knows that at best

Im going to join the mini-appreciate session here and add that there’s still lines from Geeks in Space that give me a smile and chuckle when they pop into my mind well on 20 years later. Cheers to you sir.

The never ending stream of articles of the form “Person with association to $topic has opinions on $topic” are exhausting and very seldom informative. Zooming out any distance at all and it seems like most mainstream journalism is indistin

Part of one of my merit badges back in my youthful boy scouting days was being able to demonstrate how to turn a pair of pants (jeans iirc) into a temporary life jacket. Seems like a good mechanic to understand for worst case scenarios if a

I’ll add to the Turing Tumble, it’s amazing, the creator of it has just started shipping their next thing: Spintronics, and I’m very much looking forward to going through it with my kiddo.

Not sure if that’s the case. But maybe? I think I remember seeing some well known brands of plain vanilla go back and forth on the labeling over the years.

It’s lovely, highly recommend. Also it’s been a few years but the little coffee shop across the street had some of the best chocolate coconut macaroons that I’ve ever had. Check out Frozen Dead Guy days as well, https://en.m.wiki

There seems to be a lot of misinformation going on with Jackson’s water situation. It’s disconcerting to see this level of “fog of war” happening in a state capital. I’ve seen everything from completely irreparable forever to already fixed
