When the only tool you have is a deep lifelong understanding of computational language, everything starts to look like a hypergraph.

Just learned about this. A long read, but really interesting.

Cisco Webex.

You think teams or zoom are annoying? This is much worse. The worst part is with some default meeting settings, a loud chime would play every time someone joined. People kept this on for meetings of 300+ people, then they started talking over the beeps once "the popcorn slowed down."

I'm a software engineer who does woodworking, and I approve this message.

But my favorite explanation: you grab your hand saw, and it works. You don't find out that the latest npm japanese-hand-saw-tooth package is incompatible with plywood, and you need to downgrade the package or buy new plywood to make a cut.

I don't know why I even bother opening the settings app

It's wild how similar woodworking and 3d printing are.

  1. Get a 3d printer
  2. Print things for the 3d printer

With woodworking

  1. Get a table saw
  2. Make things for the table saw

Now I can mix and match

Clearly you need to buy more belts to fill out your new belt organizer

7/10, would've been better if she didn't have to remind me to make it so many times

The last trip to buy pots to separate the existing overgrown succulents also brought home a new succulent. Soooo...

Had minimal clearance between these overhead shelves and the garage door, and the perfect light spacing was a few inches away from the cross bars. So I designed these snap fit brackets to offset the lights inline.

The lights make a huge difference, much more pleasant to work in the garage.

What I learned:

  • there is some sag because the screws aren't at the top of the bracket. I would add a tab that protrudes on the side so I could add a screw higher.
  • the screw face split on layer lines on a few of these. Still works but not perfect, so I would make the screw face thicker.

Also printed cable management clips

I used the tools I bought earlier to justify those purchases

I already coated with paste wax. Should be enough, we'll see.
