These sorts of ordeals (not that there have been many of them) truly fascinate me - especially with regard to the decisions on 'appropriate' retributive justice. As a student growing up in South Africa we were often asked to compa

I'm quite experienced with React itself (and have given RSC a spin more recently) - but I've been trying to understand, aside from using a top-level `await fetch` in a server component, is there a possible route to implementing th

It'll be interesting to see how this is accepted by the community at large. I think explicit opt-in, combined with having the discussion about which metrics to collect in public, would be enough assurance for most that this isn't

I've often thought Spotify would make a great alternative to Beatport etc., if you could control just that much more about music it recommends. So, I created Selecta, a DJ tool to talk to Spotify's Recommendations API and fine tun

I used Newsboat as a feed reader for some time, but I wanted to be able to access my feeds on my phone and other devices. I created Rag with Supabase, React and Go, using go-readability to bypass paywalls you'd otherwise encounter open

A little detroit techno vibe? https://peel.fm/15f0762 This is really neat! the kick some sweet distortion when you put an accent on it and have it layered with some other samples. I've been using the Volca Drum recen

Truly beautiful place, and one of the more interesting museums I visited in Rome in terms of artifacts and such on display.

A similar practice is common in South Africa in order to find out when the train is arriving (if at all). You'd have to ask the person at the ticket office to check the Whatsapp group for you (or if you're friendly enough with the

As an aside, I still can't beleive we're using 'shit-hole' in this way because that man said it once. I myself am guilty, even referring to my own home country at time as such without realizing it. But back to the topic,

This is something I've really wanted for a while, and the design implementation is far better than what I would probably have gone for. Very nice! Bookmarked as a new Search Engine.

Interestingly, the DX7's log drum patch is having a massive comeback in the South African genre Amapiano. I would draw a parallel here to the 808 bass, in that I wouldn't be surprised to see the Log Drum become a lasting element i

This is a huge issue in South Africa too. It's become blatant to the point you can often immediately tell if a trending hashtag is being pushed by bot efforts just by looking at the way it's phrased + a few of the top tweets circu
