Perfect timing. I need to generate an.icns today and I'm going to try this. Thanks :)

I suspect, like me, a lot of people have learned about pbcopy/pbpaste from the Github docs for adding a new SSH key to your account https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-gith...

I noticed eye contact in the cw so I googled it and found this https://sunbeam.city/@RotundCat/100913413054007496 Interesting. I'd never heard of that

That sounds pretty terrible.. My dad installed a little mini school bell next to my bed with a button he could push from downstairs. I used to hate it and do all sorts of things to disable it. Recently, I was visiting and I pushed the butto

I like the idea of cataloging all my possessions. It seems like a nice way to put that particular necessity of life (owning things) in a box that can be neatly put away when you don't want to think about it and quantify/measure it

If you can nail the timeline thing, I'd pay. I think about this all the time and it seems like something that should exist. I'd kind of like to use it to look at life events like "what week was I on vacation when I was a kid.

Abstractions are inevitable in software so the important thing is to think about, recognize, identify, and manage them. Sometimes it's appropriate to "unroll" bad abstractions in a codebase. quotes I live by (Mostly accurate

I discovered this sort of thing a decade or so when I tried to print a promo yard sign for a real estate company with a pic of a $100 bill on it and Photoshop griped at me. That's when I learned about the eurion constellation https:&#

What they did to the shield was a tragedy. It was so refreshing to have a device that I could completely customized to remove ads and suggested content. I don't blame Nvidia I think this is more on the Google TV side. I still think the

I kind of had a borderline religious experience in college calculus too. We had a handful of problems back to back: how long has a murder victim been dead? How hot does a fast food chain have to make their coffee so it burns their customers

I think it would be funny if they went to all this trouble only to find that the user used a burner email address and account and posted from a coffee shop or something. I'm sure there's some verification or other PII required to

I guess the other side of that coin is I feel like we have more access to creators than ever with youtube and podcasts. If I want to "meet my heroes" so to speak, I don't need DVD extras, I can just watch them in all sorts of

I find people are religious about being git cli purists and only interacting with it in this black box (the terminal). On top of that a lot of people stop learning git after add commit push pull branch and merge so concepts like rebasing an

I was pairing with a coworker recently who had co-pilot turned on. They were driving and I was walking them through something and I was kind of mind blown at how many times co-pilot seemed to suggest exactly what I was going to say. Some of

I've solved this problem for good with email - since I think it's arguably the most important thing here (all my financial/important life stuff is ultimately tied back to my email). I kinda think everyone should do this... -

I describe tailwind to people as a lightweight, classname-based abstraction over vanilla css rules. Unlike bootstrap where the button classname represents a collection of inherently opinionated and obfuscated css rules, the classnames map d

I have a degree in finance. Never heard of Cede & Co and I just read the wiki. Cool. Thanks for the fun fact.

I love this sort of thing. Whenever I try to make a case for anything at work, I always try to frame it in a historical context because everything we do in computing exists on a historical timeline that's relatively short and ongoing a

I collect toys. I don't think of them as investments. I just enjoy them and think they're cool. I feel like this is the way with collecting. If it's all about the return then you don't really get the full enjoyment out o

I got an ipad pro recently and I was shocked there's not a swipe option for typing on the standard keyboard. After using the Google keyboard every day for years, not being able to type with one finger without lifting it after every let

Wow. This thread isn't controversial at all. I haven't found a single comment making a case for Snap. It seems to be universally disliked - at least by this crowd.

I think Destin is like the next gen Beakman or Bill Nye. Same role but with no gimmicks needed to justify it and a more direct, less formal, medium. I love it. Neil deGrass Tyson too.

Thanks for the update. I think it's healthy and encouraging to hear stories about people who deep-learn something for a while, get most of what they need out of it and move on to the next thing. All learning is good and nobody should f

Sidenote... I think this might be the first time I've personally heard "There's an app for that" to essentially indicate "this is a solved problem" - even if in this case it does kind of mean "software exi

Sigh, that snarky Twitter interaction in the replies . "Back to your paid counter PR attempt rookie. Grown Folks are talking" doesn't seem like a great way to win friends and influence people.
