  • What led to this?

    Is there some benefit to the company?

    Is there a shortage of web developers?

    Is it just the latest trend for things to be an app?

    Soaking in the worst air quality in the world
  • Checking in from right in the middle of three of those big fires in Canada. We had air quality ratings of around 600-700 (according to purple air) today.

    For parts of the day it was snowing ash.

    It's truly awful. But I'm thankful I don't have to deal with asthma, or dealing with being evacuated.

    I saw a news article saying we had the worst air in the world today, then I checked around in purple air and were a close second. A neighboring city was showing values at 800+.

    QUESTION: Does a table top really Need biscuits/dominoes/dowels, or is glue enough?
  • Iirc from various YouTubers who have tested these.

    Biscuits being thin pressed wood fibers don't offer much if any strength to any joints.

    Dowels and dominos can help strengthen long grain to short grain joints.

    Either will help with alignment with long grain to long grain glue ups.

    I can't provide sources, so take this with as many grains of salt as you wish.

    I designed a keyboard for my phone. Ask me anything :)
  • I had a HTC G1, the first android phone, it had a slide out keyboard, and it was nice. The mechanism was satisfying to fidget with and it was a full 5 row keyboard with enough space you could comfortably type even in a terminal emulator. The screen was small, and the onscreen keyboard at the time sucked for autocorrect.

    I'm glad the track ball, and the chin didn't stick around.
