Amazing article and demos thank you. I’ve also been fascinated by what algorithms are driving elevators.

As someone often using destination dispatch, I am inclined to think after the elevator arrives, you get to the destination more quickly than RSR or LOOK because it’s optimised everyone to the same floor (less stopping)

So it may be a case of more waiting in the lobby but less in a claustrophobic box, which I’ll happily take

thanks for sharing, Gavin. I'm sure this alone will help open doors for many others.

ok fair enough. i dont live in the uk, and when i'm there, I am in a 100% elec house. I forget the dependency of households on a direct gas connection.

This is a repeat url, but ever more helpful to remind us UK does not 'depend' on natural gas, albeit wholesale prices are apparently still set by the price of it

thanks, usually the submit catches same URLs, not so this time, but hey I think this an evergreen dev article
+ 1. I just came across it a few months ago after getting fed up with Postman's unintuitive ever-changing UI, etc. So far so good. Easy to store bruno files in a repo to have a nice easy place to go to get test calls
Re:The email they shouldn't have read on Wednesday October 08, 2025 @10:15PM (#45522778)
Definitely. I've watched a company move its entire health care plan to a startup, buddy of the CEO, to help juice said startup's customer base for investors. When the company were invited to a call to learn how their health plans had changed compared to the old provider (but after the contract was signed) - the startup 'would need more time to figure that out' .. you can imagine the deafening silence on that well-attended zoom call.
Re:A few things to know before stealing my 914 (2022) on Wednesday October 08, 2025 @10:06PM (#45522729)
Very fun. I have a similar check list for thieves for my '75 land rover series 3. I tried to have a friend 'steal' it out of my garage once - it didn't go very well.
it was one of the UK servers
Handy that while connected via ExpressVPN, this is blocked

Trust suggestion: make it easier to find photos of the founders, than the investors.

We did an episode with Joran on SEDaily which addresses some of the points raised in the discussions

Re:Sora 2 on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @07:50PM (#45432726)
I agree that is probably part of the direction.

The other is possibly there’s no point in a thousand users all turning up to a blank prompt box and using a lot of resources to generate the same thing, or things they are not impressed by. A lot of users will ‘get what they came for’ initially just by seeing a bunch of good examples. Discussions around them will help them produce better outputs faster. Etc

Re:Helium Browser on Thursday September 25, 2025 @05:22AM (#45370807)
Pass, sure, but vs what currently?

Helium does not have to be the destination. But it is a good step when Chromium is the standard (try using Safari and quickly websites seem uncharacteristically janky)

If you ever clicked 'deny' to the request, you will find multiple instances in privacy and settings. After a while, you may not be able to access local locations like a chromecast. Here's how to fix it (T3chN3ck comment)
