I also worked there for quite some time and always enjoyed walking into that building each morning.

The 9th (top) floor cafeteria was such a nice touch and offered great views up and down the Hudson.

Cool to see the recently launched FULU bounty program[0] working as intended[1].

I had a very similar experience a few years ago and decided to switch from Next to Astro [0].

I’m happy to see Tropical Tidbits in this thread but am also surprised that Levi’s site and content doesn’t appear on HN more often.

I worked on the front end of CollegeHumor.com at this time and spent a lot of working hours bashing my head against the wall debugging for IE6 (and even IE5).

I don’t remember the decision/approval process that happening internally but we put up a similar banner very shortly after YouTube added theirs. We continued supporting IE6 for some time but started prioritizing it less and less.

That’s what I’m thinking I’ll do if/when the sensor fails. Or for v2.

Perfect. Thank you

My thoughts exactly on using ESPHome.

My familiarity with float switches is limited to boats. Any you would recommend for this application?

Good to know. I thought about using both a float switch and an ultrasonic distance sensor.

Cheers!

That is what inspired me to try building something myself. How do you like it? Does it have any reliability issues?

Thanks!

No fail-safe besides the limit of only running the pump for 10 seconds at a time. I will continue to keep an eye on the data being pumped to Home Assistant and look to add a condition if/when the sensor fails.

I guess it depends on where you’re starting at and what else you’re doing, like a diet.

26 over three months does sound like a lot but not impossible. Anecdotally, I broke my leg and had surgery in January and gained 20 lbs over 9 weeks of being on crutches. I’ve been slowly getting back to being active and running again. But also have been strict with my diet at the same time. I’m down 7 lbs just this month. I don't see why I won't continue that or make even more progress next month.

Thanks for this. I may look into wrapping it into a Home Assistant integration.

Over the last two weeks, I've been evaluating and trying out different headless CMSes, databases, and libraries like Refine to power my simple personal site.

I spent the most time with Refine and Supabase, and up until a few days ago, it seemed like Refine would be what I stayed with. I think what Refine offers out of the box is excellent. The ability to stand up a custom CRUD interface with low effort is really useful. I do appreciate what the Refine team is building.

However, when it came time to add customization or additional features, I spent more time stumbling through the docs than building what I wanted/needed.

A few days ago, I ripped refine out of my project for a custom-built interface using a component library called Mantine. Maybe it's because I've been building stuff like this for a long time, but I built exactly what I needed without Refine in less time than it took to get to the same spot with Refine.

The new swizzle command could have solved some of my issues, but I'm too far gone to go back.

Source of truth for all my contacts is my Google account then synced to my iPhone (and iCloud) via CardDAV.

I’ve been doing it this way for years and haven’t had any duplicate and/or missing data issues across the platforms.

I’ve only ever used a 3D printer with OctoPrint. I’d be interested to hear from people who tried and stopped using OctoPrint.
