I have horrible news for you. Google had it, then they killed it https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleMaps/comments/1737ft9/google_...

Can you pitch me on why I would want to use this, instead of Rails.cache.fetch (which supports TTL) powered by redis (with the "allkeys-lru" config option)?

It's nice being able to toggle flags immediately, without waiting for a deploy. Having near-instant rollback is reassuring for launching new features.

Very neat. I've been doing this with Calibre ( https://calibre-ebook.com/ ), which involves plugging it into your PC via USB. Simple RSS feeds work with little configuration, and more complicated news sites require writi

TIL there's a name for this! (Chargie) I have an old Mac multiport adapter (USB C / USB A / VGA) that I use only to limit the current going into my smartphone, for the sake of battery health. It effectively downgrades any fas

It really is! I built a system to monitor/control my wood stove with a pi. The GPIO pins made it easy-ish to hook up an infrared temp sensor over i2c. I found a relay hat that allowed me to switch 120 VAC to control the stove's fa

That's so wild. Many small businesses in my area give you a discount for paying with cash. They pass the card fee onto the consumer, but it's baked into the menu prices.

I do this! My personal computers run Windows. I have an iPod touch that I use for listening to music on a stereo in my living room. I use iTunes to manage my music library. When I want more music, I buy CDs (or mp3s if those aren't ava

It's not exactly what you have in mind, but my friend walked into local small businesses saying "Hey, can I make you a website?". Then he googled "how to make a website" and figured out how to drag and drop with Wor

Precisely. I'm trying to understand the resistance in good faith, but the article didn't explain their position very clearly. "It's already prohibited" - so why the fierce opposition? "Passing a law against dis

I used this when modeling a shed-to-house I built. Like most open source software, it's not SUPER polished but it's useful. Making basic walls, doors, windows, and placing furniture is fairly easy. It gets very complicated using t

How do we find places that still value and foster this kind of community? And how do we contribute to it ourselves? Lately I've been wanting to be intentional about getting involved, getting to know people, etc. I came across this blog

Neat. I did this for a very basic react ratio calculator I built. My state was so basic and small, it felt fine for a toy project. Certainly a practice I would scrutinize in a production application, but it could be useful. https:/&#x

I'm a happy user of Atom as my daily driver for basic note taking and scratch pads. Even though it's being sunset, I look forward to using it for years to come. Perhaps it will have a good fork one day, but honestly it works great

I find it hilarious that a bit lower down, someone is discussing https://github.com/rss2email/rss2email to do the opposite of this.

How does 3M 425 compare to 3M 3340? 3340 is some foil tape I bought from Lowes in the HVAC section, with "cold weather" printed on it in red text. In terms of thickness, I see 425 is 2.8 mils thick, vs 3340 which is 2.0 mils. In t

I'm using the included monitor stand. The monitor definitely can move relative to my desk if I shake my desk, but it's noticeably sturdier than a cheap (but highly rated) monitor arm from Amazon. I'm personally pleased using

I bought one, and I'm also upset with how Mac OS handles the scaling. I've tried absolutely every utility that allegedly makes higher DPI monitors work: BetterDisplay, SwitchResX, EasyRes, and a few other little ones. BetterDispla

I have a similar experience with coding! I bought this monitor precisely for that. It's nice to keep some bottom IDE panel open (test results, find results, git log, etc) while keeping the rest of my editor at a normal vertical height.

I have one- I can confirm, no bezel. It's just a single contiguous panel as far as I can tell. I does have software support for feeding 2 inputs into the top/bottom, but by default it just hooked up as a single monitor. Looks grea

The death of Google Play Music sent me down a similar path. I fired up my old 3rd gen ipod touch and synced it up with my old iTunes collection. It was jarring missing out on a decade of UX development, but it's been a breath of fresh

I wanted to chime in as one of the software engineers on the team here to give another perspective (excuse me if this isn't allowed, I didn't see anything in the rules against it). I think Upright is a really pleasant place to do

After casually watching the progression from SWF, to Silverlight, to some overdone version on the Wii, it gives me warm fuzzy feelings that linerider.com is still hosting a down-to-earth (albeit modern) version. I remember backing up the
