need to add to a digikey order to justify shipping. recommend me weird/fun things they sell to add to my cart (ideally < $50)

these are op amps idk if any of them are accidentally dog whistles good god

knuckle tats that say 5532 and 1678

hankering for one of them kolaches

we blew through this roll of cinestill 400 way too fast. I don’t think people tire of baby pics tho so it’s a good investment

if I were releasing a high profile AI app I would check and see if the name had any other meanings in popular culture or slang first

I try to only use it properly (logging webs)

the specific thing being passed around is probably right (this was a huge thing going back to the Bush admin!!) but surely there is some other source

ah yes, substack, the platform famous for journalistic integrity and truth-telling

meanwhile every other rust crate I investigate seems to be fully vibe-coded with long READMEs and APIs that are thoroughly in the uncanny valley and a coin flip as to whether or not it even works. it's hard to even suss out what's a "real" project anymore!

it has been pretty refreshing tinkering with ruby and rails again because a lot of the ecosystem predates the LLM boom by a long time and I'm not constantly running into tooling and documentation that is fully vibed

building ERP* software

Nope! I wish I did. Going to use an RE-20 close mic and a LDC in the room

I’ve never recorded a wind instrument before, should be interesting

our neighbor plays the flute and has been asked to record something for a project so I’ve been called into action and all the dumb equipment I’ve accumulated is finally getting put to use

hmmmm I don't like any of this

the only person I’ve seen defend the new apple liquid glass thing…

creating a rails app for the first time in years and it feels like a warm hug

em-dashes are one thing but most of this stuff reads like an overly flowery AP english essay and is extraordinarily tedious to read. I pray this doesn’t become normalized because man it is a rough style

cursed to have everyone in my life send me that "jimi hendrix was a systems engineer" article that doesn't say anything coherent and is very clearly doctored up by an LLM with really bizarro LLM-generated simulations. idgi.

looking at the protein numbers on this costco sized bag of dots pretzels and grimacing

I love to come home from the gym and consume every single thing in my home

my kingdom for a single switch version of the tmux4053 for roughly the same price. I don’t want to pay like $3 for one of those vishay ones but I don’t want to end up with a bunch of extra unused switches

every time I reach for a JFET in anger to do some kind of audio switching I end up with deep regrets and several CMOS switches instead

the axe-wielding bob widlar motif is purely ironic, the existence of this thing would piss him off so bad

3D rendering of a circuit board with a stereo IO, expression, midi, and usb inputs as well as a bunch of pots and buttons and stuff

ready for fabrication. this was 100x more work than it looked like, but mostly in a "how will these things communicate" way

jon is right and too many of you are in denial

not a fan of the fact that the very important USB pins are right next to the very important SMPS pins but I guess that’s why USB is differential.
