Very cool. I recently switched from an acoustic piano to a digital one. Would love to read something about your process getting to market and building the hardware.

So Automattic has put together a list for spammers and hackers to use to target a bunch of sites who are no longer doing business with Matt Mullenweg’s nemesis. That’s… shortsighted. This will surely result in legal action from one or more

Drupal makes me cry. And as other folk here have said, just stick ghost on your own host. I have a dev version running on a raspberry pi on my desk so that I can test ideas locally. Obviously I could have done that on my mac, but I just wan

"graphics people" aren't the core people using Adobe's products though. As evidenced by the terrible designs people keep cranking out using photoshop. And by the huge market for terrible-design-by-numbers Canva.com

You just tell them that you don't find it valuable and if you've been a customer for long enough they will bend over backwards to keep you. I used to buy several copies of CS3 and CS4 back when they came on DVD and I'm still

Every time they try to bump me up to a higher plan I tell them that I don't need it any more and it's too expensive and they give me stupid deals. I think currently I'm paying $25 a month but they refunded me the first month

You'd assume that their new deal with Apple will involve a certain amount of stock based comp with a cliff. Golden handcuffs.

Hey! Welcome, valued visitor! You’ll notice I don’t appear to have a doorbell. Don’t worry, this is for your convenience and mine. If I’m out and about you’ll be able to contact me, and I can tell you that I’m unable to answer the door righ

How to massively over engineer a simple doorbell! I don’t mean this in a mean way and realise that your comment was mention the spirit of the conversation :)

Maybe those people don’t want people to bother them. I keep the buzzer in my apartment turned off a lot of the time because random people buzz it trying to deliver things to my neighbours. We have a concierge desk for that.

While option 1 requires connectivity, which not all doors have. I live in a large apartment block. There is zero phone signal at my front door. WiFi, yes, but I’m not giving some random access to my WiFi network.

Love this! A few comments: 1. When I delete a link from one of my snacks it opens a new tab with a 404. Is that expected? 2. There seems to be no persistent identifier for a snack - if I change the title, the URL changes and then the previo

See, I think this is a case of personal preference. I much prefer Claude's approach of figuring out the code and writing it for me to execute myself, rather than having it all in one box. Apart from anything else, it makes me think a l

What do you mean by “file” here? I’m making files on a daily basis, including CSVs, html, executable code, XML, JSON and other formats. It built me an entire visual wireframe for something the other day. Are you using artefacts? But I’m may

This is fascinating. Where could I learn more about these sorts of bonsai techniques? Is there a book or website that you would particularly recommend? I’ve always been intrigued by bonsai but if you do a basic web search it’s just people s
