I lost 35lbs recently—surpassing my goal. I tracked every calorie I consumed and used an Apple Watch to be sure I was hitting my calorie deficit goals. However if I were doing it again today, I would follow some simple rules: cut anything I

Mullvad has a Wireguard obfuscation feature you can enable. Does that work for you?

This is the exact use-case I found for them, and it’s terrific. I define any tag, e.g. <my-modal>, put normal HTML within it as if it were just a div, and then I can define the callbacks (like adding/cleaning up listeners) and cu

The point of HTMX is that any element can submit HTTP requests, and you can drop the response anywhere in the document. It no longer has to be just <a> and <form> with full page reloads.

Trans people are victims of hate crimes. It’s not “minor psychological discomfort.” For many people, it’s life-and-death. Giving people control to share this very sensitive information when and how they see fit makes trans people safer. It’

Sorry for being dense, but what’s the difference between this and nested styles that just landed in every browser? I still scope my styles to a particular selector in either case.

Careful with them. They keep you at a high APY for a period of time, then they silently drop your interest rate and create a new "type" of savings account for new customers which offers the proper high rate -- you have to notice t

I just re-ran this on GPT-4 and it apologized, told me I was right, and then said again that the answer was -1. So while it lacked conviction it at least kept the correct answer.

Lit is a small lib that extends components to handle common needs, like state management, adding/removing event listeners, etc. As someone who wrote and maintained a lot of vanilla web components, I much prefer using lit nowadays. It’s

As a hobbyist digital painter and 3D artist who has used both Blender and Krita, I strongly disagree with this. Krita is simply best-in-class at digital painting on a PC. Both are exceptional pieces of software. It did take me a week or two

Carbon steel seasons more effectively and is both lighter and heats more evenly than cast iron (but requires similar maintenance). Well worth a look.

Reviews online indicated you need to pre-heat the Flair’s chamber and portafilter and that this is a big annoyance. What’s been your experience?

Yes, it’s called grafting. My neighbor had a single tree which grew oranges, lemons, and limes using this.

Latencies add up. 1 end-user request may have lots of requests in the backend which run in serial… especially when they have “50,000 services.”

Docusign makes it easy to collect lots of signatures from lots of people. That’s the use-case from my POV. 1 signature on 1 doc, use any PDF tool—no problem. When a board needs to approve 4 docs and you need 5 signatures on each, it needs t

My RSS app wasn’t able to find your RSS feed. That’s how I (and I’m sure many others here) keep track of updates on blogs that post occasionally.

The complaint is that Typescript not emitting any of the type information for the runtime means every library must reimplement the whole TS type system.

I’ve used zod and every other schema validator available for this. Some problems: 1. Types are not written in typescript anymore. Or you have to define them twice and manually ensure they match. ReturnType<typeof MyType> pollutes the

This is my biggest issue with the language. Fetch returns “any” meaning you can’t trust the data you received is actually the data you expected. Bugs from this mismatch will be many lines away (on first use) and more difficult to find. Beca

I use Colemak as my daily driver, and I find it incredibly difficult to switch back and forth with QWERTY. The muscle memory just no longer works. Others say it’s easy for them, so YMMV. I had such severe wrist pain on QWERTY that the switc

Yup! Here's an image of it: https://twitter.com/FrameworkPuter/status/164837189206213017... A split and thumb clusters would make it perfect, but I'll take what I can get.
