I'm working on a button to push when we feed the cats per my wife's request. It doesn't do anything when push because she can't figure out why she wants the button

The cheapest you can find. Use it only for eggs and replace it every few years. That seems to be what works best

That is a question I'n trying to answer. Until I know what ai can do I can't have a valid opinion.

That can help - but ai reviews still miss a lot of bad code. Still a first pass - if the ai finds something it is rarely wrong - so fix things the ai finds before you bother others, or justify why the ai is wrong. But if all you do is an ai review of ai code you get garbage

I'm writing code because it is often faster than explaining to the ai how to do it. I'm spending this month seeing what ai can do - it ranges from saving me a lot of tedious effort to making a large mess to clean up

I've been writting a lot of code with ai - for every half hour the ai needs to write the code I need a full week to revise it into good code. If you don't do that hard work the ai is going to overwhelm the reviewers with garbage

Do you need anything? Bodyweight exercise can get you a long way. In bodyweight training they will tell you start with a pull up bar. Then get a squat rack with free weights if you have the budget/space. Some will tell you to get rings instead of or with a pull-up bar. There is no complete agreement, but in general the advice is you don't need anything other than the above unless you are doing a competition that you need to practice for.

Of course the real problem is you never said what you goals are. There is a big difference between enough fitness for good health; looking good for their girls/guys; and winning competitions. That is a start of different lines that could be your goal, but is by no means a complete list. The more important thing to note is sometimes the above are in conflict and so you can't have all 3 and sometimes can only get 1.

I took typing in school several times using QWERTY. I learned the IBM typewriters were really nice to type on, and what the "correct" way to type was. It didn't make any difference though at the time because typing speed was never the limit, it was thinking speed. Then in college I got into IRC and most things didn't need deep thinking and so typing speed was the limit so I learned to apply the "correct" way because it was faster which I needed. (I never did meet a worthwhile girl on IRC so it didn't do anything for me even though I now type faster)

I find ai can turn out code fast - but then I spend a week or more turning it into good code and so the time saved isn't near as much. I'd be embarressd to call it my own and as a professional can't allow garbage-

https://acoup.blog/2019/06/28/collections-oaths-how-do-they-work/ has a very interesting discussion and you should read it all. Not everything applies to modern world but the majority does

It works if you believe your religion. If you are a roman swearing by Jupiter you are asking Jupiter to strike you with lightening if you lie - and as a believer you honestly think that will happen. since most people are christians they swear on the bible knowing they are asking to go to hell if they lie - even if otherwise they are good enough to be forgiven. Muslins generally swear of the quarn - to similar reasons (i'm not clear on what muslins believe happens if they lie, but they believe in it which matters)

of course a large number of people are not religious these days - so this is often pointless.

If you are not using a standard fastener you need to provide a lifetime warranty on whatever can't be removed by standard parts. Lifetime means you need to escrow with a third party enough money to fix it in case you go bankrupt.

 

My wife is complaining that we have music all over the living room all the time. With a couple kids in music lessons, school bands (regular, jazz), orchestra, and such a practice session often needs 6 books and 5 loose pages of music so I can't blame her for being frustrated. There is no easy way to store all that and find what you need for the current daily practice sessions.

Putting a tablet (suggestions? schools gives the kids an iPad, and I'm looking at pinetab2, or boox for me) on a stand seems easy enough, but then what?

Mobile sheets seems to be what others around me use, so probably what I'd end up doing too, though I'm not locked to anything. Any other software that I should be looking at? I do like the idea that we can synchronize page turning.

The hard part is getting all my music onto my NAS. Do I just scan all my books? Buy again as PDF (only rarely an option). Entry the music into some other program? I have some sheet music I want to put into lilypond - is there anything that would sync my tablets to a rendered version of this.

I already have Jellyfin and I see book options (but have not used it yet). Calibri-web also comes up often for books. Both seem book reading focused and music flows / organization is different. Anything else I might want to put on my servers that might be better?

Any other thoughts? What have others done that works?
