It’s either worth it or it will be a very, very short lived experiment. $3k is not even a fraction of a fraction of what you could call pocket change to Meta, of course.

Thank you thank you thank you. Parsing dates with anything other than fromisoformat feels totally backwards in comparison. We were using ciso8601 until fromisoformat was in the standard library. And now things are incredibly simple and reli

What are your thoughts on people self hosting their own websites and blogs instead of posting to big tech platforms? I’d say that extra openness was a good thing. I absolutely believe in privacy as well, and think ownership is important too

I built https://dailyalbum.art/ to solve a part of the browsing problem you're talking about. Nothing physical I'm afraid, but I do really love this RFID tap to play idea! I've curated a list of 500+ critical

Thanks for the info, that does help me understand what's going on in the protocol. I suppose I was thinking about the app responsible for getting the data into, say, Leaflet's local database in the first place. For that app, the d

I'm pretty new to the at:// protocol, and I like what I'm reading, thanks for the write-up. To your "This is not done by hitting an API" point; if I understand correctly, I'd argue that the _endpoints_ tha

> If you can remember it any modern computer can guess it in a short time. That's not true. A long sentence of your choosing is easy to memorise and plenty long enough to not be able to be guessed by a computer (brute force).

I’ve been using it for a couple of years and would add that it’s probably the density of high quality results that’s better, rather than the best results being better than Google. In other words, there are fewer low quality results which ra

Something that I believe sets chess aside from most other pursuits (e.g. sports, other games) is the lack of luck; it’s almost all skill. You and your opponent both have everything laid out in front of you, and if you’re skilled enough you

Dark patterns quite often come up here but rarely seem to make it into the mainstream media

Wait, what?! There is such a thing as a bond (glue) that will “debond” by applying a voltage? And that’s built into every iPhone 16? Gone are the days of sketchily using a hairdryer, apparently.

Really cool! I want this for my own vinyl so I can physically flip through my collection (with nfc tags stuck on) then place my sleeve of choice on a stand (with embedded nfc reader) to listen to the “vinyl” without having to touch a comput

Totally agree. I’ve found goaccess to be the perfect tool for this. No tracking at all on the user’s side and enough information in the logs for me to get a feel for how much traffic I’m getting. There was a post here recently about anonym

I added an alias `cm='cd $(chezmoi source-path)'` to my shell config to cd to the chezmoi directory (without opening a new shell) so I can use all the usual commands (e.g. git) without need the chezmoi prefix. The alias is in a ch

Have you tried this in a mobile browser? I’m seeing the headline cut off because the page ends up being wider than my viewport because of the position of the later carousel elements. It otherwise looks great but the side scrolling is too mu

This is impressive Matt, and I love the design system GDS has developed, but I'm not sure they want non-government services to use the system. From the second link you posted: > Use this design system to make *government* services c

Isn't that the point though? Plastic's only cheaper when you're thinking short term and have externalised any non-material costs – which is exactly how capitalism has set us up to think.

That one’s useful too. If you know a few Fibonacci numbers you can convert miles to kilometres and vice versa with ease. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 … 21 km is ~13 miles, 13 km is ~8 miles, etc. A 26 mile marathon? Must be ~42km. Same

As a Brit that map at the bottom is very confusing. A Bristol not to far from a Glastonbury, ok yeah, that makes sense but the map mustn't be north-oriented. Oh, and what's Manchester doing so close to Glastonbury, and that's
