There is an idea I have been enjoying called WET, Write Everything Twice. Basic idea is you should only make things more general and parameterized if you need to write it a third time.

The upshot of this is you actually have a much better understanding of the different way your script needs to work if you're adapting it for a third use instance.

This is super cool.

Bed frames might be a nice category to add as well :)

I have wanted to build some custom bookshelves for an oddly shaped room I have. Any plans on adding bookshelves that aren't rectangular?

There was a time when Opus was the only model really worth using, I think that was maybe 4.4 or 4.5, but I agree Sonnet is pretty good now and can be used quite often.

Like many I also discovered this about 10 years ago and love.

One other thing I've been doing lately is also to use bar lacing instead of cross lacing. A small change that makes shoes much more comfortable.

Thank you for linking the study.

Some good news from it. If you weigh the food instead of depending on the package size then the labels become much more accurate!!

"Serving size, by weight, exceeded label statements by 1.2% [median] (25th percentile −1.4, 75th percentile 4.3, p=0.10). When differences in serving size were accounted for, metabolizable calories were 6.8 kcal (0.5, 23.5, p=0.0003) or 4.3% (0.2, 13.7, p=0.001) higher than the label statement."

If you look at the table "Deviation of metabolizable calories from label calories" [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3605747/figure/F1/] you'll see that most labels even for service side are pretty good and there are some that are really bad.

If you'll look at one of the worst offenders Tostitos, the label has "Tostitos Tortilla Chips - serving size 24 chips", but chips vary a lot in size, so you could have a huge variance in weight. If instead you weighed them, which I do with my chips, I bet the calories are much closer to the label.

Body composition comes down to routine. I've found found I love to eat, but I pretty much eat the same meals week over week, that makes it extremely easy for me to lose or gain weight depending on my goals.

do you have a blog or some links of walking through the process of getting everything setup?

My DVD and BR collection has been growing. I just buy used for both and I can usually pick up great stuff pretty cheaply. I also subscribe to YouTube premium for both ad free YouTube and ad free YouTube Music.

YouTube premium also has a number of free movies, the type of stuff you used to see on cable TV. Not the big hits

Really looking forward to seeing Optimus and what the timeline actually will be.

For me (40s) my Leetcode skills have gotten noticeably worse over time even though I'm a much better IC than I was. I'm sure I could improve my skills by practicing but I have a family and other responsibilities. I think Leetcode does weed out older folks, not necessarily because of skill, but because of the time needed for practice.
