Ah, certainly. I think "Titan" is a somewhat odd name for a human.

My only reason for buying an ASUS motherboard was because, for a while, they had (as far as my research went a couple years ago) a complete monopoly on Thunderbolt 3-compatible AMD motherboard (ASUS ProArt Creator, IIRC?) Apart from that, t

Thanks! Personally, I have immense respect for Storybook and the engineers behind it. It supports a dizzying amount of use-cases. Having said that, however, I think that they did go too far down some paths that I would have liked to not see

TL;DR: A React front-end component workshop, a simple version of Storybook. So around 5 months ago, I needed a tool to preview front-end (React) components whilst I create them for a personal project of mine. There were two options: Storybo

I didn't follow the Lucasfilm acquisition too closely when it was all going down, but something that has confused me is that Lucas seems like a fairly talented guy with a passion for what he does, so how does it make sense that he acti

The country I currently live in - the United Kingdom - even got a nickname because of this: The World's Butler. The reasoning, as far as I understand it, is that the UK gained a notoriety in the 1900's and blair era for always doi

I use substack for this (samhuk.substack.com), and all I can say is Substack is better than medium, but absolutely it is not good IMHO. It's support for code snippets is basically non-existent, as one example.

The line between "an advanced, niche concept" and "common sense" is very blurry. It's continuous, not discrete. What you think it common sense is probably not for a considerable proportion of other people. Regarding

They will likely just discontinue Windows 10 to force everybody onto 11 in good time; like they tried to do with Windows 7. I'm on Windows 10 at the moment and no way am I upgrading. From what I've seen and heard so far, 11 is an

Thank you for taking the time to provide the detail. I see now that the subject is quite a lot more complicated than I thought, and it's less about wealthy versus not-wealthy but rather a list of X versus Y, where X and Y are not what

As a person living in the UK, I have definitely noticed a considerable rise in unit prices. One of many examples is that a loaf of my favourite bread increased from £3 to £4 recently, which was a shocker. Toilet roll prices, as ever what th

Just read it. Thanks! I agree that Streamlit was very limited feature-wise. Basically for extremely simple PoCs, etc. I like how you dog-food Pynecone for Pynecone's website :)

Few of my thoughts: 1. That poster for the benefits of space exploration is quite awful. Side-ways text? 2. It's a shame, because some of the artwork is really nice, especially the one at the bottom. 3. The "what they are doing th
