Buy a modern monitor or just run your display at a low res and disable antialiasing? Phones are now 500 PPI+, theres no real excuse for using a low DPI screen.

It can power even more security issues too. This is absolutely horrendous.

Probably, but it'd be pretty trivial to add some weight to the door.

I'd like to see some focus on cheap thermal storage as PV is terribly inefficient for heating. Especially in the winter months.

Which is fine, since you're still reducing your reliance on the grid. However, when you're off grid, underestimating capacity means your SOL and need to buy a generator and burn fuel on-site.

LFP is safe and is under $100/kwH.

100% this. If it was DIYable, its an order of magnitude cheaper. I have leftover panels from an off grid install, and its extremely hard to get an approved permit for a small roof solar array + off the shelf AIO (Ecoflow/Anker)

While I agree with underestimating capacity, the problem only really applies to off grid. For regular homes, it just means less savings.

If you dont like leaving your main video player, IINA on mac is scriptable, so I just use shortcut keys to send start/end indicators to a script which runs ffmpeg on the timestamps. Im sure other video players like VLC support this, bu

"pretty obscure to configure every equipment I have at home" HA actually makes configuring every piece of equipment and integrating them easy. If I have only 1 thing to control, then yeah, it's probably overkill.

I'd say the majority of people don't know how to install an OS on a device and having the ability to run Chrome on what is likely e-waste is a good thing.

No force touch doesn't necessarily mean no haptics. I would assume Apple didn't go backwards to a physically clicking touchpad.

I used a base M1 air for my primary personal laptop for 5 years. It was fine with VS code and any development work sans running containers.

OP has a valid point. On my Mac, it's unreadable without zooming in. I immediately left the page.

All you need is a solar charge controller and a battery, and optionally an inverter. You dont need a company to do this for you, unless you want pay $$ to connect wires.

by turtlebits 7mo ago
Close. It means there's no persistent infra charges and you're charged on use. You dont run anything permanently.

Drywall is pretty amazing, but I don't agree with all the points in the article. It cheap to buy and cheap to install, easy to cut and installs fast. It's tolerant with imperfect walls and is surprisingly flexible. It can also

Because drywall is cheap, incredibly tolerant of movement and irregularities. It's also super easy to repair. It can also act as an air barrier for energy efficiency. A drop ceiling is terrible for that and is ugly AND expensive.

It's more important to control moisture than buy moisture resistant materials. Drywall is great, its cheap and easy to repair. I would not want to live in any water damaged house without remediation due to the risk of mold.

Everything costs money. It's not like drywall doesn't allow you to soundproof, 2x layers of 5/8" is a common method as well as staggering 2x4's in a 2x6 wall.

Wood isn't flimsy. Drywall is fine, it's cheap and easy to repair. If built correctly can last 100+ years.

Sure, and you may as well walk around with a blindfold on to develop your "spidey" senses too.

Humans can't handle large tasks either, which is why you break them into manageable chunks. Just ask claude to write a plan and review/edit it yourself. Add success criteria/tests for better results.

Making clones of production isn't trivial. Is your app server clone going to connect to your production database? It is going to spin up your whole stack? Seems a bit naive. A better approach is to have AI understand how prod is built

FYI, this is based on libSQL which has pretty poor driver support (Python still experimental).

Why not use CDK L3 constructs (patterns) or the corresponding for Pulumi, since that's what you generate?

Nitpick - you're writing AWS IaaC in python, not shipping python code.

Who wants to do grunt work when you can play architect to a bunch of robots? Its like the ultimate RTS, plus you get paid.

No one is promising anything. It's just a giant experiment and the author explicitly tells you not to use it. I appreciate those that try new things, even it it's possibly akin to throwing s** at a wall and seeing what sticks. M

Way to gatekeep. God forbid people use tools to help them investigate instead of knowing the exact approach to take.
