Always love to see new baseball visualizations. Not necessarily a big fan of AI art, but it's cool how dynamic it is. Some constructive criticism: I think using a real pixel font and maybe writing a deterministic downsampling algo for

I was crazy enough to try this as well this year. It would be an extreme stretch to consider me a SQL expert, but I did make it to Day 14. I agree with all the points in the post. It's really not that bad. If I had more time to devot

As someone who lives a few miles from Georgetown, KY, it's important to note that this factory already exists and sounds like they are (partially) re-tooling it to begin EV production. So that might explain the dollar figure.

No, and in fact, it's almost certainly the cause given the huge disclaimer on the linked page.

Ah I remember Xfire, pretty sure the biggest draw for me was the FPS counter it gave you. I doubt this is related to the current domain, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfire#Video_game_and_pop_cultu...

I 3D printed an ABENICS mechanism. I don't have much of a mechanical engineering background so it was very cool to learn how to do this. https://blog.ty-porter.dev/3d%20printing/mechanical%20engine...

That works both ways, though. Content that is high quality but is lacking broad appeal will go away as well. Full disclosure,I don't know what the right answer is here but it certainly isn't as black-and-white as this.

> I think the majority of users don’t really care about the API or subreddits going private as they primarily just lurk. I agree. These protests have missed the point. There is a (very) loud minority raising hell right now, but spez is r

Right? That's what I've never understood. Putting ads in the API is irrelevant, since the 3rd party clients will just ignore them. The Reddit that the loud minority wants is never, ever coming back. These protests are just a blip

I built an emulator for HUB75 LED matrix panels. https://github.com/ty-porter/RGBMatrixEmulator One of the side projects I work on is a scoreboard that displays MLB scores. It's highly configurable -- you buy the

I'm probably like most people and just use Github pages: Blog is built with Jekyll. Treating GH as a CMS means I have a diff built-in to my platform. I also have a GH action that can schedule merges for post PRs. No one really cares to

Not as common on road bikes but backpedaling is used sometimes to set up cornering position/reduce pedal strikes on mountain bikes. E-bikes are still road bikes, and the last thing you would want is the fundamental behavior of an e-bik

Enjoyed it, I just jumped ship 6 months ago for basically all the reasons you specified. Only thing I can add is that due to the difficulty hiring, you can attract mid-level talent with more money (they're more likely to be underpaid).

I wouldn't say I have a "stride" now. I don't write unless I personally feel the topic is interesting so it's tough to call my writing scheduled or disciplined. Most of my posts go almost completely unread -- that&#

I think you have plenty of interesting things to say. I'm in the same boat as you are, but I think if you put yourself out there you'd be surprised how much interest there is in the things you write. I had a blog post featured in

I was inspired by the new Rocket League: Sideswipe coming to mobile. Someone cracked the joke that they should have called it Pocket League, and then this was born. It's actually very entertaining even on a real GameBoy!
