I wasn't aware of these glasses, pretty cool. Not sure I'm ready to drop that much money on a pair with prescription lenses though.

Would be useful to have my multimeter display in my field of view when heads down debugging a circuit. There are a few bluetooth meters on the market, so I think this is doable?

Looking at the SDK, the fixed LVGL font is a bummer. Ideally I'd like to have a raw framebuffer to control, though I imagine this is difficult to do over bluetooth without blowing your power budget. Maybe you could have a custom indexed tilemap and push sprites around?


Yet Sourceforge has been putting ads on open source projects for decades.

Yeah, that's part of why nobody wants to use Sourceforge.

Ironically, that's what probably killed Sourceforge and helped GitHub take off. It remains to be seen whether Codeberg will now repeat the process.

SF required application form, where you had to explain why you are worthy to have your git repo hosted by SF. By the time they processed it I already forgot I even applied. I think that was actual reason for them being destroyed by GitHub, that had simple, fully automated signup.

yeah, uh you're definitely driving home the point here. that's why no one uses sourceforge anymore.

Wow, I haven't heard that name for decades.

Jeez, that makes me feel old, and I am "only" just barely in 30. :(

Remember https://web.archive.org/web/20050204100149/http://cia.navi.c... BTW?

For the uninitiated: https://web.archive.org/web/20050129022102/http://cia.navi.c.... :D Good times!

This takes me back. It is just one of those artifacts of early 2000s that was associated with open source hacker culture. It truly felt magical at the time.


Is the Linux scheduler aware of shared CPU cache hierarchies? Is there any way we could make the scheduler do better cache utilization rather than pinning processes to cores or offloading these decisions to vendor specific code?

Library of Congress has some well considered recommendations for archival. https://www.loc.gov/preservation/resources/rfs/TOC.html

For web content they recommend gzipped WARC. This is great for retaining the content, but isn’t easy to search or render.

I do WARC dumps then convert those to ZIM for easier access.



Micron is building a bunch of new fabs in the US right now- two in Idaho, two in New York, and modernizing one existing fab in Virginia. The first Idaho fab will come online in 2027 and NY/Virginia fabs in 2030.

So, more chips coming soon, but who knows if that's enough to keep up with demand for the next few years.


Could say the same about Postgres. People like their databases.


TI-30Xa still sits on the corner of my desk along with a pen and small notepad. I use it 2-3 times a week. Still faster to reach for it than find the calculator app on my phone or PC for simple tasks.


Claude Code is also very good at building basic CRUD apps with Django.


No kidding, it is really good especially with htmx which helps you get some of the advantages of a full SPA without the complexity of a separate frontend.

Been building a project in the side to help my studies and it usually implement new complete apps from one prompt, working on the first try


Yeah, I've noticed it regularly suggests htmx (and perhaps something light like alpinejs or some vanilla JS glue logic) to build powerful yet simple interfaces in Django. And it seems to get them right - saving you a lot of time.


It is probably good a HTMX for the same reason it is good at Tailwind CSS; HTMX puts the functionality on the elements being reasoned about (e.g. click this button, load the result here).


That's a huge bonus point for Django. It's so prevalent that Claude/Codex are very good at setting it up the right way, using tried and true patterns.

I've been vibe coding some side projects with Claude Code + Django + htmx/tailwind, and when it's time to go some manual work in the codebase I know exactly where things are and what they do, there's way fewer weird patterns or hack the way Claude tends to do when it's not as guided


Not strictly a mobile app, but I keep offline Kiwix snapshots of Wikivoyage and Wikipedia on my laptop. It mostly comes in handy on trains with intermittent wifi.


This is really helpful, thanks! The offline aspect keeps coming up. PAVO currently generates content in real-time with Gemini, which obviously doesn't work without connectivity.

Thinking I should add a "pre-download" feature where users can generate audio guides and itineraries over WiFi before heading out. Would that solve the offline problem, or do people need the flexibility to explore spontaneously without planning ahead?
