out of all the writing I’ve encountered about raising little kids, I think this is the piece I’m most grateful to have read

According to the old heads in our family Eugene Whelan routinely scolded urban consumers for expecting out-of-season, foreign produce at bargain prices in the middle of a Canadian winter.
telling folks to go eat a cabbage instead of Californian lettuce in January.

For all my lifters:
computer vision app to measure back curvature during deadlift!
main technical highlights:
> RF-DETR (Roboflow) to segment the person (great performance out-the-box with no additional training!)
> YOLO11n (Ultralytics) for bounding box prediction around the barbell weight plate (trained on my own small dataset).
> Mediapipe (Google) for pose landmark detection to guide the bounds for the line fitting.
> Custom logic to fit a line across the back.
about the plots on the right side:
The Back Roundness Map shows the deviation of the estimated back curve from a line of best fit.

This thread makes a common fundamental error - it ignores demographics. The housing demand from a 30 day old is different than a 30 year old.
An unplanned surge in the adult population has a different impact than an unexpectedly high number of births.

PCBs made in America. Twice as fast as Shenzhen.
Today @CircuitHub is unveiling The Grid, our factory-scale robot in Massachusetts that builds circuit boards on demand.
No changeovers, no per-design setup. Prototypes and production batches, fully automated.

Turning complicated hardware into simple, fun lessons | ESP32 edition
Just like my Arduino app, this one shows you what the ESP32 can do, one circuit at a time.

Hardware looks scary until you break it down into small steps. So I built an app that takes you through Arduino one circuit at a time.

“The cost of cars, fur coats, housing, booze, travel goes up and who gets excited? Nobody, because they don’t buy these things every day. Potatoes go up a few cents and my God, everybody’s crying.”

"certified freak?" no, i remain uncertified because the freak certification board has undergone regulatory capture and now artificially limits supply to drive up freak wages
