I had a similar situation with a rental car, driving on winding roads. The beeping happened periodically as I was driving around hairpin bends, and the eye detection was triggered by me turning my head to look towards the oncoming sharp cor

This is terrific. I love reading about the creative process involved in a project like this, finding cool solutions to self-imposed boundaries. I think the mix of highly rational reasoning and "it just feels right" is a killer com

Yes, I'm definitely thinking I'll update it with the 2026 - seems like there's quite a few pieces so far this year that didn't appear in the 3 years I chose. I also thought I might be interesting to do a version with the

All good! So glad to hear that you've listened to them, they're some of my favorites

Ooh nice pickup, might have to track down the original playlists on Archive.org and see if I can verify if it was indeed Goldberg. I did think it was odd that Goldberg didn't show up in 2001.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. The eCharts bump charts look great. I kind of rolled my own generated SVG paths. I wanted to learn a bit more about how Bezier curves worked, and this seemed like a good opportunity to figure it out. Not

Interesting points around what can be categorised as classical music. I took the data as a given from ABC Classic FM, and as you mentioned it's voted on by listeners in Australia so that might affect what shows up. I'm listening t

I wondered about that as well! I suspect it might have been different songs or movements from the opera, but it didn't specify on the ABC site so I thought it would be a fun Easter egg to include. Glad you found it!

Good point, thanks for the suggestion - I made the svg non-selectable because of some quirks when tapping the dots on mobile, but I might see if I can override that for the text elements. The YouTube link is a great idea too, might see if I

This makes me think of an example from the PuLP docs of solving sudoku using constraint based linear programming. https://coin-or.github.io/pulp/CaseStudies/a_sudoku_problem.... This example helped me enormously i

Slightly off topic, but this made me think of an example from the PuLP (Python Linear Programming library) that solves a sudoku using LP constraints. https://coin-or.github.io/pulp/CaseStudies/a_sudoku_problem....

I'm currently waiting for my kid to arrive on a bus that may or may not be running late. With regards to tracking, it would be really handy to be able to check their location to get a sense of how long I'll be waiting (and how lat

Honestly, I think there's value both in riffing off rules of thumb and using that riff to revisit and re-contextualise things we already think we know. Everything is new to someone, and even if this was just confirming my own biases I

100% agree. I used to use pencil and paper (and still do if I'm in person), but for a quick and dirty sketch to communicate ideas over screen share, MSPaint hits the sweet spot between speed and flexibility

If you're interested in faster uploads in Australia, I'd recommend giving launtel a try. They have a pretty wide range of speed options (e.g. 1000/400,250/100), and charge by the day (you pay for the highest speed connec

This was written on my mobile, so haven't had a chance to test it, but here's my first pass at modelling it in SQL: select sum( case when prev_cust.cust_id is null then 1 else 0 end) / sum( april_cust_count ) as pc_new_cu
