This is pretty cool! My kids are past this now, but they used to enjoy TuxPaint, that's pretty good also.

this feels more like something for NON design engineers, ie, highly opinionated cosmetics and animations that you can just drop in. It's not a UI library such that you could design UIs with, wouldn't fit well if you have your own

Having worked at various manufacturing companies (telecomms, industrial automation, oil, IoT) over many decades, I'd suggest go work for a company that software is part of a bigger system. There's quite a lot that goes into it.

the critique of spreadsheets was lacking in my opinion. Not being able to see the of formulas is just a mode switch away or you can even implement your own checks like highlighting cells that aren't formulas but should be. It's ki

Scott Hanselman has blogged and youtubed about having type 1 diabetes over the years with various tech hacks. A while back he hacked it so his blood sugar showed up in his terminal prompt... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

one thing I like in Vimium C over Vimium is reload frame. Vimium it would reload the window and I have an older web app that uses frames where reloading the window resets everything back to a particular state and I have to go and reopen t

for a gui based tool, I find klogg really good.

reminds me a bit of klogg https://github.com/variar/klogg which is more for log files and based off glogg which went dead. it has nice filtering and highlighting type stuff. It's great for live views of log files.

Interesting to see they are removing some of the quirkier things... - Remove Trigraphs. - Remove K&R function definitions/declarations (with no information about the function arguments)

This feels horrific, this initial event essentially is the end of his son as he knows him, and eventually he will actually die. My only vaguely similar experience of this kind of thing is my grandfather with Alzheimer's, but it felt l

Generally you only want heat for half a year, the other half you want it cool (roughly). In the half where you want it cool you then have extra load by the miner generating extra heat... or you turn it off, which seems like a massive was

all you need to do is look at the profits (and running costs) of the health insurance industry to see where a lot of Americans health spend is leaking to, completely ignoring the fact the government is already spending more! Not to mention

well, in the latest .NET 8, for any of the .NET languages there is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotn... Though most people were rolling their own version of it before this.

pretty cool, main thing is you really want to do all your drawing above your shoulders. Below your shoulders you start rotating your hand and it loses track.

so, if you want to join two things, a parent and children, you get duplication of parent details eg, select P.name, C.* from Parent P inner join Child C on C.Parent_id = P.Id where P.Id = 1234 so from what I can tell is this idea would ha

I used to dial up to a vax in terminal mode circa 1991 with a 2400 baud modem. But sometimes it would connect at 300.... which was painful. Not to mention there was only limited lines in so it could take a while to get a connection, so ev

given it looks state mutating, I'd write this something like walruses.apply(condition ? frobnicate : transmorfify) where apply does the looping.

he could be pro Nazi, but that is not an argument against his reasoning around capitalism. That's an interesting sidenote, but doesn't mean he's wrong. I think its better if we just discuss why he's wrong or right on th

I don't think I'd want any these days. I loved my programming books, especially in the 90s and early 2000s. Now? I can't say I'd even recommend books to anyone new to software development.

This doesn't seem like actual research? This seems wrong. Autistic kids tend to like rules and structure and tend to be very worried about breaking the rules. They are more likely to "tell" on people for breaking the rules.
