After about 5 years of daily usage, my last bike computer build https://github.com/carrotIndustries/cyclotron-mini/ started to fall apart, so it's time for a new and improved one.
Introducing, the cyclotron smart, another spin on the concept of a dynamo-powered bike computer. This time, with a much nicer display and case design.

While it's already good enough for daily usage, there are still some firmware features and mechanical improvements left to do before releasing the design documentation. Stay tuned~

Reminder: de-skilling as a trend in software engineering was already in progress well before LLMs.

Toxic productivity culture, people meeting badly-designed internal reward metrics, hopping jobs and never seeing the consequences of bad choices, plummeting quality, short-termism.

Sure LLMs add fuel to this fire, but I’m not at all convinced they’re causal.

If anything, their popularity seems more a consequence of the culture than cause.

Fun one for Australians:

"A real-world territory capture game played on public payphones. Register, get a PIN, find a payphone, call in, and claim it. Build triangles between captured phones to control territory and climb the leaderboard."

(note that pay phones no longer actually involve paying, as they're free to use)
