A DigitalOcean vps can be a pretty inexpensive and easy option. I've done this with a Pi and Dyndns. It's pretty easy to setup but not as good (for me) as a DO vps because my home ISP limits data heading out. I would have to purch

If it's a book I need to learn something for work I'd buy it new or used. But to be honest it's been a long time since I've had to do that. Aside from that I spent quite a few years scrounging used book stores and gather

I just chastised my FB friends for not wishing me a "Happy Programmers Day". They're all feigning ignorance.

Wow, I missed that when glancing at them today but I remember reading that comment now and also the linked piece too. I just sort of glanced at the article before reading the comments and recall thinking it really didn't seem to have m

I use DigitalOcean to host and deliver web apps. You can get a "VPS" (virtual private server) for as low as $5 a month, which is probably less than you can run a server from home on a Raspberry Pi. Another option is to create a di

That's great feedback. I haven't looked into mobility tech in a long time but things have certainly gotten a lot smaller and cheaper since I worked with it and there may be some simple things that would be handy for manual chair u

I'm still using a late `09 Mac Mini I bought new, so over 10 years old now and I still have no imperative reason to replace it. I've replace the HD and maxed out the RAM about six years ago and it's still all I need to get my

I agree. From the 80s on the focus on housing has been on "McMansions" and we've ignored how that's really pretty wasteful and silly. We can do a lot better than that. We've seen a surge in "tiny homes" be

My wife and have two of our children in the early 30s living with us. We're still in the house they were raised in. It's really pretty nice. It's not like we have to "parent" them, and we all know each other about a

"You simply can't concentrate when you're high the same way you can when you don't smoke." I won't argue against that being your personal experience but it's certainly not mine. Mine is quite the opposite

They say "A sibling in each family was a clinical proband identified due to delinquent behaviors." Pardon my ignorance here but, does this mean they only studied kids with "delinquent behaviors"?

While potency has increase that doesn't directly correlate to everyone is getting higher. That's still a matter of intake and in this case users are likely smoking a lot less. In the `70s most of what was available was crappy &quo

I have almost no apps on my iPhone, and rarely use it other than calls, text, News, photos and maps. When I use it for web surfing, which is how I access News, I use Firefox, not Safari. As for myself, I decided from the start not to develo

I agree. FSD is far more complex than even Musk imagined (or at least has portrayed) and while I'm very impressed with what's been done in that field I'd never use it in the real world.

What could an invoice app do to make this easy? For example, what if I embed the invoice data in a JSON file in a PDF? Could that make it easier for the user? I really don't know much about PDF, but from what little I just read after c

I've not worked on newer cars in a long time, but when I did you could purchase "adjustable shock absorbers" that use compressed air to lift the back of your truck when it was loaded down with a heavy trailer attached to the

I think I'd wait for Apple to transition to their new CPU. My first Mac was a Mac Plus. It was old when I bought it. My first new Mac was PowerPC 6100. Then a G4 Mac. Both of those were pretty much obsoleted by Apple so fast I had no c

I was not aware there were headlights that had a light pattern like that. Looks pretty cool. Years ago (`70s-90`s) when I built custom cars it was a pretty huge deal when the rectangular headlamps were approved. It created new ways to style

It's worth noting that a local-only offline-first web app shifts the load of storing and managing user data entirely onto the user themselves. That's a huge load of responsibility taken off the software supplier's shoulders a

Right now I just point them at a different web page. Basically I have a local.html and a cloud.html that call a different .js config file that points to either their local CouchDB or the one on my web server.

It's actually pretty easy to integrate the two. I've done that with the latest version of one of my apps.

I have a personal blog where I blabbered on a bit about using CouchDB on the client side back in May : https://azartiz.com And I outline the features on the new site for the app at https://cherrypc.com/home.html

This is the 3rd time in a week a "Local-First software" overview has been submitted and the 2nd time it's made the front page here. I'm pretty surprised about that because I'm about to release a local-first, offline

I've been working on this concept since 2002 when I released my first web app. I'm just about to release the latest version of that app and it offers a local first option by letting the user store their data on a CouchDB installed
