If you’re looking for some accessible ones to play Inhave very fond memories of the ones at Rinkworks: http://www.rinkworks.com/adventure/ The site is straight from the late nineties; mobile wasn’t a concern at the tim

The Athletic seasonals are way better than their "always available." And the Free Wave is better than the Run Wild for the always available beers. They had an Irish Stout (Emerald Coast) that was indistinguishable. I could have bl

This is wild. I've spent the last three weeks working on this stuff for two separate clients. Important note if you're taking advice: cache-from and cache-to both accept multiple values. Cache to just ouputs the cache data to all

Threw together a toothbrush timer for my kids. Just used the svelte repl: https://svelte.dev/repl/5a7f676868044bbba2ff3c7a64062066?ver... On mobile you’ll need to kit the “output” button

Fantastic read, I’ve done some work adjacent to this for real life mapping and coming up with clean algorithms for this stuff is so satisfying. This was particularly well explained

Sure, although the article talks about monoxide…thus my confusion. It’s also a much less pleasant way to go: this is an “as I understand it” to be clear; carbon monoxide binds to your hemoglobin better than oxygen, but your bloodstream does

I dunno man, the 80/20 rule definitely applies here (and it's cousin Dunning-Kruger does as well, so yes, stay humble). Most software engineers are paid for their expertise in rapidly acquiring and mentally modeling complex domain

I'll add to that "Good luck getting a slip or mooring." Not a boater, but I have friends who are; there's a waiting list. The longest have been waiting for 5 years.

I apparently mis-remembered this showing up on HN. It's only ever been posted once. So I re-posted just now.

I love this feature of HN. Between this, the onion salesman, C+- and a few other favorites I’m on a roughly 2 times a year cadence of getting to reread old favorites!

Whose phonology? English is a delightfully diverse language, spoken by delightfully diverse people!

How is autoMemoryReclaim not the prime takeaway from this!? I know we just use headlines here, but that is my single greatest gripe about using WSL day to day

I hate that I’m largely living in a JS world, but I’m fast and effective with it, and the standard library, ecosystem, and tooling has matured enough that I can deal with the quirks.

Before typescript and node > about 16 I’d reach for Python or more organized bash for these things. Now it’s Typescript from the client down to my system scripts. The ability to use the same language all the way up and down my stack, to

It works that way if you correctly use modern features of CSS/HTML. This is just one of those features. It’s very difficult to correctly update the web platform because backward compatibility is so important for the most widely used pr
