That's great! It's a good feeling to know someone appreciates what you worked on enough to pay for it. My first bucks came back in college in 1998 when I made a silly game using Macromedia Shockwave in which you tossed iMacs out o

Second this. I've been self-hosting Miniflux for years and love it. It's dead simple to run (a single executable daemon or docker container that you can run behind a reverse proxy) and it sounds like exactly what the author of thi

The comment you're replying to was responding to another comment relaying an experience with an Instagram ban, not Tinder. Though the idea of a business making an account on Tinder did give me a chuckle.

Been using both vim and dvorak for nigh on 20 years now (started learning both in university), and have zero problems with the default keymappings, including hjkl navigation--once it becomes muscle memory you can get used to anything.

On my PbPro this is caused by the lid sensor magnet being badly positioned. When I close the lid expecting that to trigger suspend, it will suspend too early as the lid closes, then un-suspend once it fully closes. Suspending manually first

Currently if there's no SRV record and the server that was actually queried doesn't have the user's plan, it will simply return 404/no plan. But this idea seems pretty neat, I will definitely be thinking about whether it

It's not based on nothing. It's based on a pattern of the current administration and the media that supports it propping up nonsense and blowing stories that are critical of their opposition out of proportion specifically in order

When creators opt for the easy-mode discoverability and pre-built audiences on YouTube, they're also opting for the severe limitations on their freedom to produce the content they want to that Google has every right to dictate. The sol

Way back when I was in high school, it became a fad among the tech-geeks to have our TI-85 graphing calculators modded with a "turbo" switch that would let you run some games like Wolfenstein and Tetris at better speeds. It involv

While I agree that Apple's app store extortion policies are abhorrent, I don't know if I agree that legal action is the answer. Isn't it Apple's right to set whatever policies they want on their own platform? Isn't

I've been avoiding news as well since the last Presidential election. I can appreciate that this is terrible advice in general, but for the sake of my blood pressure, health in general, and mental well-being it's the best choice f

I created a related set of tooling called Ficdown (ficdown.com) that lets you write simple choice-based interactive stories using Markdown syntax (headings to represent scenes, anchors to represent choices and variables, and so on). My focu

I've tried this previously, and it seemed to be able to narrow it down to a particular street, but not a specific address. In the case of my address (in TN, USA) the first item in the list of results is just my street and the pin drops

The biggest drawback for me (coming from someone who exclusively uses OsmAnd for nav) is the lack of geocoding. I can't just type in an address and get a reliable destination pin to navigate to, instead I have to paste the address into

I wonder what these numbers would look like if you just focused on software engineers instead of a "diverse cross-section" of workers. I really dislike my open office floor plan, but I think I'm the only one on my team of aro

Has Apple ever tried to defend their rule that apps can't link to or even inform users of the existence of off-site registration or payment methods? That has always seemed like the most absurd thing to me and the most blatant example o

An error in the inverse direction, if these sites were to add dead-child-detecting algorithms, would be far worse in my opinion. Imagine you're a mother who stops posting for a while because you're staying in the hospital with you

The fact that projects choose to target a specific rendering engine as opposed to just writing web standards compliant code and having it work in any browser that follows those standards is precisely the reason why people (me, at least) are

I can't answer the broader question, but I did attempt to use the XMPP gateway for a little while. Many features were implemented in ways that made them hard or impossible to follow when viewed via XMPP (threading was a big one), and t

When doing any kind of user behavior funnel testing, regardless of what the product and feature actually are, and largely regardless of how prominent you make the on/off switch, you find that the same tiny percentage of users that woul

Their solution to the problem was to add an additional "BDM False Alarm" entry to the list of alerts which will send out the message that the previous alert was a false alarm and there is no threat. Perhaps they should also add a

What device did you switch to? I tried making the same switch a couple years ago but couldn't stick to it, mainly due to missing GPS/maps (and secondly due to dumbphones making lousy mp3 players, and not being able to serve as wif
