I like the Grafana stack so far, it seems more lightweight and suitable for homelab scale than something like Elastic. Grafana/alloy remote_write functionality to push logs from all machine/vm/node/pod to a central grafana/loki and metrics to prometheus. Optionally visualize both in a grafana dashboard.

I’ll soon start a course to learn operate a manual lathe and mill at a local workshop run by volunteers. I actually found a nice US army machinists guide to prepare for the course [0] as a welcome alternative to the youtube machining rabbit-hole. If others have other great text-based resources or advice on what to make as a beginner, I would love to hear about them!

Emacs on an iPad 4 years ago

Your comment made my week, I've been looking for a way to run Emacs (not remotely) on my iPad Pro since buying it in 2020. To confirm I just downloaded iSH and installed Emacs 27.2 (i586-alpine-linux-musl build) successfully. Now lets see what devilish compromises I need to make on keybindings..

Thank you for making this! I would love to see a more in-depth explanation of how you curate pages, because it sounds like that is the tricky part.

Tiny technical point, when searching for “uber h3” I was getting hits on h3 html tags, that was unexpected.

I'm using it for a hobby project! It's been great to actually be able to quickly build something while learning haskell, the folks on the slack are helpful and it's inspiring to see how quickly the framework develops.

I don't have any experience with Rails or other haskell frameworks.

Exactly, its a classic we have a solution, but not a problem-to-solve let alone a product (yet).

“But guess what, they had no idea how to use our tool or integrate it within their workflow. And to be honest, nor did we. Adoption was bleak and feedback was dry—silence in startups is not golden.”

Interesting, maybe it's missing a coordinate, could it be missing the repeating first coordinate? Surprising to see that surfaces of the same color are made up so many polygons, I guess that can be made even more efficient?

So that's a long-winded way of saying that I don't sustain myself on open source. This is a pretty common story. Companies rarely make an effort to support individual developers. They will support language/project foundations, but that money isn't going to be directly divvied up among library developers for the language.

Thats interesting, is anyone aware of a language/software community where that does happen?

Thanks for sharing, I just quit my sideproject after a year of coding and find posts like this helpful to learn from that experience.

Then I stopped, took a step back and looked at the product from the perspective of someone who would want to pay for it.

Though I think this is dangerous advise. You do not know what this perspective is like (unless maybe when your product is a “scratching your own itch”-type product) and therefor making design changes makes no sense. You will never know if users maybe even preferred your first “design”, or that there is a different blocker like landing-page, installation-instructions or anything really preventing them from starting using it.

And that is exactly what they would like you to do. If you buy meat (or anything for that matter), mind your footprint, only buy what you actually need.

In the Netherlands the police definitely will not. Vanmoof has their own team to track down bikes and retrieve, but so far this seems more like a marketing stunt than actual service (they have a youtube channel “Van Moof Bike Hunters”).

Absolutely! Its a matter of dimensions, for wood we simply oversize a few centimeters to burn through to make sure it holds long enough to get out of the building. I assume this indeed takes more space than a fire insulated steel beam. The achievement here is the Norsk got over the medieval fear of burning houses and can now use their loved local wood to tackle urban densification challenges!
