I have a similar question: how do I stop Google photos asking me to update every time I open it? "You're missing out Update your Google photos app for the newest features" ... I have zero interest in updating. I'm not mi

I'm building a photo book system that respects privacy via no tracking, not sending anything to the server until you go to print (all stored in indexeddb until then) and even then requires as few details as possible (eg email address o

Windows really needs to ditch CRLF and just use LF, and switch from backslashes to forward slashes. Or better yet, just switch everything to full POSIX. In powershell everything is much better than cmd, but it's just not enough. WSL is

My apologies, this isn't the cause. Bun build doesn't suffer from this bug.

I think this is ultimately caused by a Bun bug which I reported, which means source maps are exposed in production: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/28001 Claude code uses (and Anthropic owns) Bun, so my

I find it infuriating when clickers say they send page up/down but actually send regular up/down key events.

The latest version of Microsoft Teams is absolutely terrible at this... just one URL for everything. No way to bookmark even a particular team.

Bun is brilliant. I rarely have to install any packages, as Bun has just the right things built in, like SQL, S3 and now Redis too.

Almost all my computer science students are using Typst on my recommendation to write up their programming projects, vs most using Microsoft Word last year. Specifically, writing in VSCode with the Tinymist Typist extension. All going very

I'm writing this on a Unihertz Jelly Star which is tiny, and I consider it my "protest phone" at the lack of decent small phones. A friend jokingly calls it my "microphone", another a "prison phone" (due t

Indeed. But sadly, they don't update them. The Unihertz Jelly Star is stuck on the June 2023 (yes... 2 years ago!) Android security update.

I'm struggling to see the problem with this statement, other than maybe to add in the word "usually". My students will know of graphs in maths where the origin is always bottom left. When working with HTML canvas and every ot

I loved tixy when I first discovered it a few years ago so created this https://www.mathsuniverse.com/tixy (with permission from the original author) with puzzles to solve on the tixy grid. I use it with my computer science

Your query for Java will include all instances of JavaScript as well, so you're over representing Java.

I made a similar thing earlier this year at https://www.mathsuniverse.com/sorting that doesn't have music and focuses more on teaching students how different sorting algorithms work and how they compare to each other.

"Building experiences with real-time components was previously only accessible to multi-billion dollar companies" ... what a load of nonsense. I've built them in a few hours, spending £5 per month for a server.

Here's something similar I made yesterday. Just view source of the controlling page and the pop-up pages for how it works (single page with inline vanilla JavaScript and no npm install nonsense). Just uses postMessage(). https:/&

I love tixy.land, but as a school teacher of maths and computer science I think it may be a bit beyond most of my students. So with permission from Martin Kleppe, I created this guided tutorial to get to grips with the power of this simple
