I really like how it can do animation and embed images, so you can make 88x31 badges!

Very cool!

I've always wanted something like this!

But I'd want to see some kind of clouds storage sync to actually use it for anything practical.

Maybe it could include YJS, with agents taught to use it, and save/load them to Google Docs?

I sometimes use unit tests to fill in gaps. I just caught a function with almost full coverage except for an if statement.

Playwright e2e tests are harder to maintain than pytest code, so I wrote a test just for that one case, and while I was at it, a few other input strings that seemed like they could be problems.

If the function had no test coverage at all, I probably would have tried to get it with an integration test, because that would mean the callers also weren't getting tested.

Would a splitter fix this?

Are there approximate solutions with fewer sides that would have less than 1 in a trillion or something unfairness?

I think there's no real need to learn with leaded anymore now that we have temp controlled irons and better fluxes and such.

Wearing gloves and washing your hands five million times is more annoying than just using lead free.

And even with perfect precautions, the flux expands and makes it spit tiny little balls, which then contaminates your whole work area with a somewhat fine dust.

The important thing with lead free is you're not looking for the color or texture when inspecting, you're looking for the shape, and absence of any tiny seam or cracks.

It's probably not gonna be 100% shiny, that's fine, it just has to wet effectively instead of just kind of hovering in a blob.

Lead free is the only thing I use unless I'm repairing some old pre rohs era thing I guess, but I generally don't encounter many of those.

C245 clones seem to be the new current standard tip format, they're pretty nice.

Not supported by any open third party firmware usually, but that's fine with me.

One thing to watch out for is tip grounding, some cheap irons leak a few volts at micro to milliamp level power, relative to ground, which could matter if you solder very sensitive things that are grounded, which you probably don't.

DIY fume extractors are hard to do, you need powerful fans unless you have an arm to put the extractor right above the iron. Also remember that when it's just sitting in the stand, it will still smoke for a few seconds, so the extractor must cover that too.

Those thin wispy activated carbon pads probably aren't doing much, you need actual particulate filtering like a HEPA or similar, but almost anything is better than having the smoke directly in your face with no fans.

I tried to start something similar as a GitHub Awesome list(awesome-standards), but this seems like it could be way more powerful.

Although this seems to be focused on specialist professionals, and I was focusing on things that are universal enough that a non specialist wouldn't be annoyed about buying for a project.

It would be nice if it had wiki-like info for any specific oddities that professionals would know.

Some of the stuff on there is pretty surprising, like leaded solder and the FX-888D soldering iron, in the age of C210/C245.

A lot of the time the thing you already have is totally good enough, but it's not what you'd buy if you were buying new.

I think an actually interesting malleable solid base for non-hackers would be a platform that you log into, create a workspace, share it, and add an app made of some JS that runs in a sandbox, everything fully managed, your app never sees even a user email if it doesn't have to.

Is there a reliable app to detect these without using excessive amounts of battery?

Atuin already solves that very well for me, although I might consider this for new commands

I use it rather often in professional projects, usually for figuring out power supply inrush transients, and I usually point anyone who wants to learn electronics to it.

Just be sure you set the simulation step size appropriately if there's high frequency stuff happening, or the results will not make any sense.
