Having lived in many an unconventional domicile over the years, it seems to me that there is an untapped market for the type of furniture solutions that you only need when you're living somewhere not designed for living. I lived in a h

I've been wishing there was an app where you could point your phone at a pile of scrap lumber and it would tell you things you could make with them. This is a step in that direction even if it's just for lego bricks right now.

There are those pesky extra cmd windows that sometimes show up when one gui program has to use a subprocess to run cmd.exe to start another gui program. The only only only solution I found after trying purported solutions in visual basic,

I completely agree. Windows had a drag-and-drop keyboard mapping utility twenty years ago. And Mac OS has automator and applescript, with capabilities windows and linux can only dream of since it requires taking a top-down approach with y

I did web design back when it was called webmaster, and every time we finished a site my boss would ask me to 'make it sparkle' and this is what she meant, every time. I would explain why I thought it was a bad idea but then I wo

There's a lot of stuff we get for free in the typical gui toolkit when we say, make a window, put some widgets in it and draw it, like how a button might have a callback function and you pass the function into the constructor so when

When it is bitter cold, the touch part of a touchscreen ceases to function and you will wish you had a flip phone with real buttons.

I agree on the issue but not 100% behind the solution. Making food last longer is something we've already optimized with hundreds of years of innovation so it seems like it would be better to focus on other aspects of the issue. Do yo

Here's an idea that might work if your org is doing github issues (or some other git host with similar feature). Let's assume you have backend code spitting out the frontend code which still needs to be loaded as a page in a bro

Hopefully someday when mobile phones stop being such woo woo disruptive technology status symbols, they will be made out of metal and have buttons. Touchscreens 'have' buttons as long as it isn't raining, extremely cold, and

Funny I just read about this topic today on some random tangent. I learned that one of our most advanced methods for tamper-proofing involves red lentils, beluga lentils, and a blink test. https://dys2p.com/en/2021-12-

In one of the more obscure Ursula K Le Guin books, there was a passage that has always stuck with me. She's describing a hypothetical society where (to paraphase) they had eventually come to the realization that: "the computer, on

To each their own, I guess. I guess if your whole life has been in cities where construction often involves de-constructing already-built structures, you might hear the sound of a jackhammer and think "ahh the sounds of life..." H
