Looks neat... can't drag the ball in linux chrome (dragging works for me elsewhere), maybe I'll try later on my phone.

I had the same idea and built: onepostwonder.com It's been running for over a decade, although the community has always been small. It's currently invite-only, similar to how LiveJournal used to be, but drop tommybgoode@gmail.com

It's also not great that people sometimes buy them because of breaks on price and then keep them where they can't plug them in, which is the worst of both worlds. But a properly used plug-in hybrid can be a good thing for some yea

I wondered how long it would take for someone to do this. An amount of time approaching zero apparently. Nice.

This is great! I was once the proud owner of an HTC Evo 3D, a smartphone that took 3D photos and displayed them natively with a lenticular display. It also ran hot as hell and was pretty much unusable until I added after-market swipe-spelli

With infinite effort, a company with infinite resources made something that is already objectively fast enough twice as fast! They are right though that wasmgc might have a bigger impact than wasm alone. Lots of attention is deservedly paid

Network Solutions was the original registrar. Since then they have done absolutely nothing to build on that, beyond cashing in on the inertia of people who haven't left. They are the America Online of domain registration.

Can attest - for similar use cases. I did much the same (shameless plug, just like the original): https://friendsyeights.com/ Game state is kept in memory, the server is single process (Node.js as it happens), connections u

tome is a new text editor for use at the terminal prompt. tome is built on Node.js, which makes it easy to contribute, but does not have the overhead of an Electron app. tome is especially focused on editing JavaScript. I first announced

Planning to minimize npm dependencies on this one. As for node version, debian 12 ships with node 18, which means there's someone planning to do a true LTS of a node major version... for once. Wishing them luck on that!

Has my own shitty implementation of a subset of termcap right now because I initially wrote it on an airplane with only manpages for documentation. But I should probably switch to a library for that.

The heavy part is contenteditable is usually a million workarounds for weird browser specific stuff, which is why DIY is very risky there… or it was. I haven’t explored contenteditable from scratch since the final death of IE11. Might not b

I... guess? Compared to an editor written in Rust? Sure? But how much CPU will an editor really consume? As with most things outside of tight loops in games, good architectural decisions are going to matter a lot more than language choice.

You probably noticed that ".editorconfig" support is in the plan, so this won't be forced forever, but it's good for proving out various indentation features. There are ways to make a binary/flatpack/etc., but

Hey, your mileage will vary! My workday includes Node.js being present on basically everything, so it's not overhead for me. (As others have pointed out it's also not that heavy a thing to have around, especially compared to Elect

I seem to recall people calling ed a "line editor" back in the dino days, but yeah I erred on the side of comprehensibility over historical accuracy.

Yes, you're in for some disappointment there alas: many terminal applications, especially macOS terminal, will devour most cool combinations of the "meta" keys (shift, control, alt, command...) for themselves. This is why I h
