In Chicago, we have an API where we can get pricing updates every 5 minutes. I recently set up my AC (largest power draw) to cut off when the price goes above a certain threshold. I don't have long-term data yet, as I just implemented

To your point I think I'll adjust what I was saying a bit. I was definitely interested. I always thought it would be cool to be able to program. There was good media to make it intriguing from afar. But I had nobody in my life to he

Absolutely agreed. I had a trash-80 in the early 80s and used to copy BASIC from magazines, and then in the mid 90s I bought a book with a CD in it that taught me how to set up perl-based e-commerce store, which I set up for my mom's r

It reminds me of something I've always wanted as a coder but never cared enough to implement, which would be a verbosity switch. I see the full multi-paragraph comments in my codebases and get annoyed but also feel like the additional

Worse, we're replacing the contents of the library with shit and leaving it standing. Burning it down might be the correct response.

Mislead is the present tense; Misled, the past tense. I'm not seeing the tenses being used interchangeably with the same spelling on the site, but I may be missing it.

I've been seeing the misspelling of the past tense of lead (led) incredibly often in the past couple years. It's clearly confusing that lead is an actual word, so it may seem right and likely doesn't get caught by auto-corre

My wife recently reminded me of something I made for her while she was sick last winter - Grilled cheese on sourdough (with roasted garlic mixed into the cheese) toasted to a crisp and cut into croutons for a home-made tomato soup.

Most definitely. I'm fortunate to have four record shops in my neighborhood, and I make my way to them every couple months. Along with some friends of mine, we trade off hosting record-listening parties a few times a year. I love tha

I miss the neighborhood officianados. The movie buff at the blockbuster. The music fiend at the local record shop The gamer at the mom & pop game store. The guy at Egghead Software who would let me play battle chess for hours. Of course

As a near-fifty year old who has been making sourdough for 6 years, makes homemade mayo with a grated garlic clove and freshly squeezed lemons every couple weeks, and keeps a stash of fine cheeses readily available for all occasions - I&#x2

I've been maintaining a personal calorie tracker (keeps me entering), and using claude for entering meals has been the perfect experience. One of my favorite features has been giving a recipe url and having it figure out the calories f

I also appreciate the social break my brain seems to need in order to keep socializing. I'm an introvert but also social, so I love to talk to friends and hang out - but I still need that 5 minutes to just stare off into space and rec

Security questions have always been ridiculous, but I'll especially never understand how "favorite [thing]" ever made it to production anywhere. "Favorite movie" can change multiple times in the same conversation.

I love it! So much fun. Thanks for adding Free Play!

This is so well done and very cool. Thanks for building it and offering it. As someone who hasn't had a piano lesson in about 40 years, I find myself wanting to play with the keys to match the melody. So I hear the initial melody, an

I've done a similar thing with close friends and family who would constantly ask me things I couldn't possibly know because I always came up with an answer. Eventually I realized why and explained, "you know, I'm really

I really appreciate this post. It reminds me of a video I watched a couple years ago that does an excellent job of demonstrating how culling works with actual code and visuals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHYxjpYep_M

I'm similarly unpredictable in my home. Add to that the others in my house, and it's impossible to even guess what everyone's intentions are at any given time. Sometimes I daydream about a "solo mode" where the tim

I feel like dealing with robo-calls for the past couple years had led me to this conclusion a bit before this boom in ai-generated text. When I answer my phone, if I hear a recording or a bot of some sorts, I hang up immediately with the t

I have the same issue. Even when I ask it to do code-reviews and very explicitly tell it not to change files, it will occasionally just start "fixing" things.

My house is 150 years old, but it's also been rebuilt several times in that time. My neighbors' houses are less than a decade old. We have all swapped stories about replacing things behind drywall. Leaks. Electrical issues. D

In Chicago, code requires EMT for all electrical, which can be annoying for adding a new run, but at the very least it makes it less likely for rodents to chew through or other interference. After wiring my whole house with Ethernet and cei

For sure. I've wired my old house with speakers in every ceiling, and cat-6 in every room. I've had a small pipe burst and a couple leaks behind a bathroom. I've patched quite a bit of drywall, and I'm about mediocre at

I will never understand why we fill our walls with mechanical and electrical infrastructure and then wrap them in a paper and plaster, which then needs to be torn, broken, and repaired in order to maintain said infrastructure. Pipes will fa

It wasn't clear to me that this was a joke either. I assume the same for others since the post is grayed out.

I can only wear tall-size clothing, and generally I've found that none of my t-shirts shrink "in", but they _all_ shrink "up". I can make them last longer washing them delicate and "air-drying" (in the dr

I haven't used cursor, so I'm not sure I can be much help there. I've been mostly using claude code and IntelliJ IDEs for code-reviews when necessary. Over the past year I've moved to almost entirely coding via agent.
