I backup my Obsidian vault weekly by blindly committing the stuff in `.obsidian` and then reviewing the changes to the `.md` files themselves. It's not version control, per se, but at least a backup and record.

Yeah, I was like "rewrite language on a black & white site? I know this!" There can't be that many.

Yes. This is the modern equivalent of “I searched the web and this is what it said”. If I could do the same thing and have the same results, you’re not adding any value. Though this is unlikely a scenario that happened, I’d equate this with

Thanks. Shortly afterwords, I started collaborating with a few folks and it definitely was a team effort to push it forward (icon design, UTFGrid spec, node-sqlite & server-side adoption...). It's still a very satisfying solve for

Yes! Gus (the developer) also has made & maintained FMDB for many years, a nice Cocoa wrapper for the SQLite bindings. https://github.com/ccgus/fmdb

I did this for MBTiles, for storing (at the time, raster) map tiles at Mapbox. I was working on the iPad wing of R&D early in the company and we were focusing on offline mapping for the iPad. Problem was, moving lots of tiny map tiles (

Totally appropriate if your Tailnet name is goose-rappel.

PHP contributed hugely for me. I was writing a lot of Perl for web apps from about 1996 to 1999, when PHP really took hold and was an improvement in almost every way, right down to including PCRE regex functions. Perl felt clumsy compared t

I have an HP-15c as well as a 16c and I've been using the latter on a daily basis while writing a byte-level network protocol client. I'm getting faster by the day and on the verge of writing some programs for shortcuts on the cal

Same, I have a 2013. It’s such a good size.

I mean, muscle memory & fatigue may be part of it. I used MacOS for a number of years, then I used Mac OS X for 8 years, then OS X for 5 years, and now macOS for 9 years. During that time I also used Windows and Linux from time to time.

I know the guy who had Twitter/X @Justin (also my name) early on and he would constantly get mentions for “@Justin Bieber” because people didn’t understand the space.

That would be great if iOS supported a GUI in C.

Very impressive. I love this kind of project (by me or anyone else) — learning whole new areas of tooling that you're unfamiliar with, following a passion to make something that you can hold in your hand. Kudos.

It’s nice, but it doesn’t support things like Safari tabs properly.

Very nice! That's fun to play with.

I had fun building a little UTF-8 playground about a year ago to drive some of the concepts home and to go back to as a cheatsheet. https://github.com/incanus/learn-utf8

Oh hell yeah! I'd love one of these. My other vehicle is a 4WD VW Vanagon Syncro, for fun & hauling.

Agree! We got a used 2015 Fiat 500e for $8k 2.5 years ago and it’s been great as an around-town car. Don’t have kids, but can take a passenger or two in the back if need be (it’s tight) but for two people and errands, it’s been a fantastic

These would be good additions to SwiftBar/BitBar.

Yes! This was huge. You could go from coding to uploading to refreshing your application as fast as you could perform those actions. And don’t forget, with Perl CGI, you had to output the right Content-Type header (and two carriage returns)

I realize you are asking for cross-OS, but Mac OS X was doing this in 2002 (and probably earlier) for PowerBook models with an ethernet cable between them. As I recall, iBooks didn't do this even if they had the port, but PowerBooks wo

That's it exactly. I clearly remember the nonchalantness.

Awesome, the name rings a bell now! Thanks for that. Honestly didn't remember the software involved (nowadays, I'd mention it in the blog post).

Oh, I vaguely remember someone hacking that for some sort of windowing back then on OS X!

This reminds me of how, twenty years ago, I used the PowerBook’s hard drive vibration sensor to rig up a seismograph to measure construction noise: https://allthegooddomainsweretaken.justinmiller.io/2007/04/0...

I played the shit out of HOMM3. I bought it, though, only after sneaking plays in between customers while working at Radio Shack. We had some ~300MHz Compaq machines that Radio Shack had recently partnered with to sell and on slow days, it
