I built a working version of the Christmas lights from Stranger Things (that Joyce used to talk to Will in the upside down) for a friend's Halloween party. It used an arduino board, a string of addressable LEDs, and a little web interf

It may interest you to know that React was first used in production in 2011 and the library was subsequently open-sourced in 2013. As far as programming tools go I don't think we can call it a fad anymore.

I think you're right. Anecdotally I, as well as most of my friends that still game, have become increasingly conscious of avoiding "help" when playing a new game. I'd never played a FromSoft game and beating Elden Ring w

Wifi light bulbs aren't fancy new gadgets. The Phillips Hue, for example, first hit the market nearly a decade ago. I'm sure there has been much development of the concept since and $10 is, for most people, very affordable. Especi

I'm still in my first "real" job, almost 6 years later, and while it's not quite as lax as what you describe your comment made me realize that the slow pace is probably a big factor in my own lack of motivation to look f

My first web job was building websites for a rinky-dink SEO company. My boss had zero qualms churning out trash content while trying to game the system. How can Google fight an infinite sea of these operations? I'm not sure who's

SEO blog spam is a blight. I'm certain you won't, but you should feel bad for contributing more of it to the internet.

I completed Lambda's part-time web program about a year ago and while I did come out with more knowledge than when I entered, I do not think it was worth the time or the money I have invested. I was not the target Lambda student in tha

Thank you!

Can you give an example? "How to do it" and "what steps to take" still sound like the same thing to me.

For anyone interested in tracking their own bike fit at home, I've been building a web app based on the park tools road positioning chart ( https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/road-positioning-c... ). Thi

Definitely! I've been riding road bikes for ~5 years now and have "built" the last 3 bikes I've owned. I've become increasingly interested in frame geometry as it relates to bike fit (as opposed to handling characte

Agreed. These are frame geometry measurements, not contact point measurements as they are sometimes described in the article. A small but important distinction. The sentence: "Stack gives an indication of how tall or upright a frame’s

I'm working on a web app to track bike fit: http://app.mybike.fit I like to tinker with my fit to dial things in, but there are so many potential dimensions to tweak that it's easy to "get lost." Long-term I

> First, as you might expect, aerobic and endurance exercise benefits greatly from being in a fasted (16-24 hr) state. You're light, quick and your body is devoting zero blood flow (and other resources) to digestion. I'd say it

by zbtaylor1 8y ago
Agreed. I have two bikes - the notoriously stiff Specialized Allez Sprint (aluminum), and the Cannondale SuperSix (carbon). The carbon bike has wider wheels that allow me to run ~10psi lower than I do on the aluminum bike. Anecdotally, I ca

It's not a cargo-cult mentality. It's the convergence on a set of best practices "illuminated" by analysis of user-behavior data, as well as the application of basic graphic design principles (like the use of white space

I think the confusion is that the design of this page: https://www.indiehackers.com/products is closest to the old layout where each block linked to the founder interviews. I basically wrote the site off until today because

Is there some affiliation between this and the Zurb foundation? That yeti looks familiar...

I'm not familiar with the limitations of the system, and I know the point is speed, but couldn't they just slow down before traversing the obstacle?

Can you talk a bit about how you market yourself? I've fallen into a similar role at my current employer and am enjoying it, but I'm not sure what options I have for growth.
