OK, so we can’t use plants. What are the options, then? In my apartment I’m running 2 AirGradients. One in the bedroom and one in the main room. Awesome little devices, btw. They monitor temp, humidity, CO2, TVOC, and various particulate ma

Awesome article. I switched my daily driver / gaming rig to Fedora a few months back. Everything seems snappier compared to Windows, but not sure if it’s in my head, and I’ve been very curious about gaming input latency. This helps ans

I want to buy one just to raise the signal that Linux support is important. When these machines were announced I switched to Fedora as a daily driver on my high end gaming rig. It’s been awesome. I still have to go back to Windows for music

You probably already know this, but I could not import 10-bit video on Windows which I think would be fairly common among the target audience. ffmpeg supports decoding 10-bit video.

Closed source is fine, but there are a few other things that are required of LGPL, some of which are - Provide links to the source of the version of ffmpeg you used in your code - User should be able to replace the ffmpeg libs with his own

I'm just here to share my love for this film. I'm a big movie fan. I've been watching the Fifth Element since high school, and I've only grown to appreciate it more and more as a film as I get older. It's so full of

I learned this lesson a couple decades ago. Managing windows with OS idiosyncrasies becomes a task in itself. However, I've also learned recently it depends what you're doing. Software development, I just want one single maximized

Even beyond the engineering there are 100 other things to do. I launched a vibe coded product a few months ago. I spent the majority of my time - making sure the copy / presentation was effective on product website - getting signing ce

At the risk of sounding ignorant, why didn't the various police cruisers and even the ambulance itself just push the damn thing out of the way? That's what the push bars attached to the front of their vehicles are for.

You can still be a programmer and identify with and participate in that group. AI hasn't eliminated programmers or programming, and it never will. However, my best advice as someone with many distinct interests is to avoid tying any on

I don't dispute the shortening of attentions spans, which seems to be directly related to new forms of entertainment young people consume. However. Films across the generations are very different in terms of how they lay out a narrativ

What does "the crime is less egregious" even mean? Morally, you burglarized a home. Legally, at least in CA, the charge and sentencing are equivalent. If someone also commits a murder while burglarizing you could argue the crime i

Technically, yes it is still burglary. It's an odd position to take, that a crime was not committed or the offense isn't as bad if the difficulties of committing the crime have been removed or reduced.

This is surprisingly basic knowledge for ending up on the front page. It’s a good intro, but I’d love to read more about when to know it’s time to replace my synchronous inter service http requests with a queue. What metrics should I consid

I only really ever play one game, so that's not a blocker for me. I would have switched by now but film and audio production software, including VSTs, don't seem to be greatly supported on Linux. I'd love to hear from someone

I vibe coded a windows shell extension that renders thumbnails for 10-bit videos. Windows does not do this out of the box. I also built a Preview Pane Handler for 10-bit videos. The installers (WIX) were vibe coded as well. So was the produ

Netflix on Apple TV has an issue if "Match Content" is "off" where it will constantly downgrade the video stream to a lower bitrate unnecessarily. Even fixing that issue the video quality is never great compared to other

I just launched a 10-Bit Video Thumbnail Provider for Windows. Windows does not natively support rendering thumbnails for 10-bit videos, which are commonly produced by cameras like the Sony A7IV. When I started working on a short film the v

Let's not conflate the two things that were said. It is absolutely true that companies were rushing to rewrite their code every few years when the new shiny JS library or framework came out. I was there for it. There was a quick transi

Any odd blurring, distortion, or vignetting you might find around the edges could be caused by anamorphic lenses. Vignetting is often also added in post.

Is anyone using any of these tools to write non boilerplate code? I'm very interested. In my experience ChatGPT and Gemini are absolutely terrible at these types of things. They are constantly wrong. I know I'm not saying anything

The future of (public) transportation absolutely is driverless cars. Every time I'm stuck in traffic on an LA highway with 5+ lanes and I see the horrendously inefficient use of space this future becomes clearer. Waymos are also really

A price tracker should be more sophisticated than just pulling a single listing from Amazon and dumping whatever price a random 3rd party reseller is listing it for. The prices here are not indicative of the market at all. They're a si

I'm not sure what caused this, but I think the expectations of modern friendship have become unrealistic. Maybe it's movies and TV, where a "close friend" is more or less a non judgemental therapist that will throw down

This doesn't sound right. A 30 year old engineer with 6 years of industry experience should know what XML is. This isn't a generational gap. I would argue that in a large sample of other 30 year old engineers with 6 years of exper

I've really changed my perspective on this type of thing as I approach 50. Great art is always made under great constraints. Software is no different. It's always the weaker engineers that are constantly complaining about the thin

I've made more friends more easily in my 40s than any other time in my life, and I'm a relatively quiet and disagreeable person. Making connections with people you're around frequently is easy. The problem is that adult life
