I was giving myself RSI by deleting <12000 lines of copied comments (only misleading noise, explaining what was happening) and <4000 LOC (replaced with a 120 LOC in a single fn) when I reverted to using regex while sanitizing a badl

That's fantastic news. OpenWRT-based cheap travel routers have been a life-saver for me during my trips, specially to countries behind Iron Curtain firewalls. I'll buy at least one as soon as it comes out.

Interestingly one reason I use firefox is because of its builtin synching. My tabs, bookmarks, and passwords are synced. Extensions could also sync their preferences (not sure about data). I also heavily use their "send tab to device&q

I used to have my static website on Netlify. I was using their form submission API and webhooks to trigger AWS lambda functions to run some scripts and send emails to users upon replying their comments. The website would then be rebuilt usi

Firefox is my daily driver on all my computers and smartphones. There are some hiccups, often with obscure websites and airlines. Most of them better be avoided anyways. However, Slack and Microsoft Teams don't function properly in Fir

It was a good reminder. > People don’t walk around with anti-résumés telling you what they have not studied or experienced (it’s the job of their competitors to do that), but it would be nice if they did. I can resonate with this one. Ov
