tylerflick··on Leaked Apple M5 9 core Geekbench scores
Still rocking a 2018 pro as well. At this point I would pay Apple for OS upgrades as I don’t see any reason to buy a new model.
tylerflick··on Apple HomeKit – The Long Con
Why not both? Home Assistant integrates with Homekit.
tylerflick··on There is a huge pool of exceptional junior engineers
> My advice to new grads, students, and other juniors is to find any way to get real-world work experience. The pay for these roles may be lower, as higher salaries are increasingly reserved for senior-level engineers.

This is just sound advice in general. A good professional analogue to recommending a junior college as a stepping stone to a university.

tylerflick··on They don't make 'em like that any more: Dyson Pure Cool-Me personal air purifier
I have one of these. I would recommend looking at something else.
tylerflick··on Preventing IoT Edge Device Cloning
I hate managing clients certs, but I doubt there’s a better way.
tylerflick··on Permeable materials in homes act as sponges for harmful chemicals: study
You can (within reason) calibrate these cheap CO2 easily with esphome and an outdoor air reference point overtime. I’ve had to do it for thermometers as well.
tylerflick··on AMD Open Source Driver for Vulkan project is discontinued
ROCm is a mess. I gave up on it and decided to run OpenCL on Vulkan: https://github.com/kpet/clvk
tylerflick··on Delphi 13 Florence Released
> Microsoft pile drove them from early dominance to niche by undercutting them handily

And hiring Anders Hejlsberg

tylerflick··on Air pollution directly linked to increased dementia risk
Thanks, got a good laugh out of this one.
tylerflick··on Toronto’s network of pedestrian tunnels
The photo in the article looks to predate the mass adoption of cars. Maybe it was because of new engineering capability + attempting to avoid the elements?
tylerflick··on Untangling the myths and mysteries of Dvorak and QWERTY (2023)
This is not the first historical inaccuracy I’ve noticed from this site.
tylerflick··on A Unique, High-Tech (Family) Computer
For an iPod style device you could even go lower down the line and use Pico W along with the addition of some i2s/amp combo.
tylerflick··on A Unique, High-Tech (Family) Computer
> I've often wondered how (in)expensive you could make something with a better built-in screen, the ability to play VP9/AV1 video and opus samples and Bluetooth to connect to mouse / keyboard and PC as a net and storage device.

I’ve been doing this, and the answer if you have a 3d printer is $10 US(pi zero 2 w) + the cost of whatever display you want to use. This won’t do AV1 but it’s good enough for my use cases. I’m slightly cheating on the cost as I have plethora of LiPo batteries in reserve.

tylerflick··on David Klein's TWA Posters (2018)
If you’re in KC be sure to check out the TWA rocket in downtown too.
tylerflick··on The ROI of Exercise
What? Every city and small town I have ever lived in has had publicly accessible outdoor workout stations and running paths. A pair of running shoes is about 120 USD and good for ~500 miles.
tylerflick··on What could have been
All hardware eventually fails, all software eventually works.
tylerflick··on White House loyalty rating for companies
I don’t like it but it’s not the first time. FDR’s National Recovery Administration crossed similar boundaries.
tylerflick··on Court records reveal Sig Sauer knew of pistol risks for years
I was going to mention this! I was on a range and watched a slide completely break in half after firing. The Beretta’s where terrible.
tylerflick··on Ask HN: What trick of the trade took you too long to learn?
529s are also capped based on the recipient, not donor.
tylerflick··on Fast
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
tylerflick··on Why does a fire truck cost $2m
Military weapons cost what they do because of the requirements. Could costs come down? Sure; Ill be the first to assume we need disruption.
tylerflick··on Against the censorship of adult content by payment processors
I mean this is just the ultimate form of price discrimination which happens to be legal. My question is why? This industry (payments) is completely driven by financials and occasionally regulations. They have no dog in a moral fight, so this must be about profits to them.
tylerflick··on So you wanna build an aging company
Because growing old is a privilege denied to many. Maybe focus on the kids first?
tylerflick··on Holding Cellphone while driving is illegal, California court rules
I hate being cynical, but in LA this ruling means nothing. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone pulled over for a traffic offense.
tylerflick··on Microplastics shed by food packaging are contaminating our food, study finds
I’ve been joking he’s going to try and bring back leaded gas.
tylerflick··on Bluetooth Jammer
2.4 Ghz, yes.
tylerflick··on My Cord-Cutting Adventure
The versions of HDHomeRun that support 4K only have ethernet for networking. This has been a limiting factor for me in terms of reception.
tylerflick··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
Not saying I agree with the deployment, but as someone who was in this gun club this isn’t true at all and hasn’t been for some time. IIRC basic de-escalation was taught in recruit training.
tylerflick··on Run a C# file directly using dotnet run app.cs
I remember using LINQPad when I needed this functionality filled.
tylerflick··on Why are rice prices still high?
Having run a restaurant, this was not my experience.
