Your font looks a lot like one I made! https://imgur.com/a/g8bIoUY I didn't go too hard into all the optimisations possible with kerning and such, but every software I tried (about 3 or 4) was incredible frustrati

I think writing the book is useful for the writer to formulate better what is actually useful, as opposed to blog post which can be put together quite quickly. There are two sides one can consider, the first is writing a book for people who

Pick a word that you like, count the letters on your fingers, even is 0, odd is 1. Choose a longer word to make it harder to predict length. For example, "sesquipedalian" is 14 letters, which even, which is 0. Pick a new word to r

Yeah this was many years ago but the point was not about HTML, it was making sure I knew the basics.

In my first frontend interview at 18, the interviewer tested me on the most basic thing. He could have asked more difficult questions that I might have had the answer to, but instead he asked about markup. “In this first line of HTML it say

I would cut the task into separate problems and solve them one at a time. You could do it like this: 1. Trigger - pressing a button/terminal command 2. Record audio for 5-10 seconds (this will unfortunately lead to silence at the end o

Is there any limit on the subtitles/captions you can upload on a video? That might be a more reliable storage method.

It sounds like you’re stringing a couple of anecdotes together to make a point that this is useless, which it isn’t. Lots of people live in tiny apartments, where sections of your house need to serve more than one purpose (kitchen inside a

I was never on OiNK but I ended up being a moderator on What.CD for half a year or so, made some lovely memories there and it was my first time being exposed to real nerds building unconventional things. The people I met there are the reaso

I think you're underestimating the value of lofty research. I'm not a scientist, but I can imagine a few positive scenarios: - this method or a similar one being used on earth to produce oxygen (if we ever need to) - these AI meth

Cool! I didn't do too much research before building this, was inspired by Adam's book where he mentions this system.

Same. I went on a date recently that asked what I was reading, and when I said Make It Stick she said, "so you're a marketer...", haha. It hurt a little bit but she was right about something, this book is for people looking f

I can see that being fun, and I'm going to check out your recommendations, however the primary reason I read is to learn skills! Finding books that are packed with information and zero fluff is a challenge.

I struggle to stay interested in one book until the end because many books that are designed to teach you something have made their point in the first chapter and then spend the rest of the book hammering it in. Currently been reading Make

My parents, who are not religious, gave all my siblings and me biblical names because they work in many countries and languages (not just western). Although, I wouldn't recommend Beelzebub.

I wonder how much of this is due to an ability to assess the real amount of danger (thus pushing irrational fear into the back of the mind), and how much of it is desensitisation that could get you into trouble.

I agree with you. Looking for the right word is missing the point and to me feels like overanalysing instead of understanding. I've only worked in one manager position but I noticed that different people liked different styles - some w

I was in Iceland in 2014 when the Bárðarbunga volcano started to erupt. It was relatively calm and in the end, pretty safe, but during the event we were monitoring the news and waiting for a catastrophe at any moment. Lava was flowing down

I almost thought I had hallucinated DHTML because I've not seen anyone mentioning it in so many years. It's something I learned about while playing around with building websites as a 9 year old and brings back memories.

I don't have much to add except that this was very thoughtfully written, and I appreciate the sentiment very much. I'll leave a quote spoken by Keanu Reeves in To the Bone: "This idea you have, that there's a way to be s

The task of managing your habits can also become another thing to put energy into. When it's frictionless it helps get stuff done, but when it's complicated you end up organising and moving information around instead of becoming m

Yeah this part sounds a bit set up for my taste. No context? How did he find out what device was used? Did he talk to the guy? More likely, he tested it on himself with a friend.
