So I’ve had an idea for similar: make a app for chat that stores data in a multiple configurable social media/ postbin type accounts. Messages are embedded in images, videos, music, etc using steganography, and encrypted. It could b

I’m a Brave user and tired of Godaddy even if they fix this. What is the best alternative registrar? I just want names, possibly mail forwarding, not hosting etc.

I think about this with space exploration as well. What is the most efficient and practical way to tackle large exploration and science projects that may not see fiscal profit in near term? I’m fiscally conservative capitalist, but want t

Was thinking this is going to lead to some cringey product names. "veak" and "vausage" for the uncreative and it goes downhill from there. Our family calls it "feat" for "fake meat"

Wrestling with this now for a side project. I've landed on .NETCore+ASP.NET Identity after getting frustrated with NuxtJS+fastify-auth, but that's really because I'm more familiar from my day job and didn't like the SPA

Hah, well, right. I just meant from a longevity standpoint. What stack can I use today that is and will continue to be well supported for 30+ years?

This is true, but the niche should be a dev who knows COBOL IRL enough to translate to something newer. Much of the COBOL I've seen would be trivial to rewrite, just nobody wants to tackle it. A person who 1) Can read cobol 2) can co

Again, I get the argument, just think it’s overstated. First, when referring to stack overflow and blogs, generally, that’s intentionally shared with the express purpose of people copying it- hopefully while learning from it at the same ti

I do feel these arguments are valid if a little overstated. Most devs have googled, found some code, and pasted it in without thinking about attribution. Doesn’t make it right, but it is a question of how much code is being copied and how

I think this is the most important take away, with lots of nexus into other medical and non-medical science. Cognitive bias is a real tricky beast and even the best are not immune. Strategies to celebrate and learn from failure, and to al

I got into BirdNET recently and really enjoyed it. I’m now able to identify the species in our neighborhood and learned some facts about them. It really is pretty amazing app. Building a BirdPi is on my list- I’d like to ID the owls we he

It really is puzzling- when I’ve seen this, I’d swear I could make out more detail on the surface of the moon than when it’s higher. I’ve measured with a ruler and know that it’s the same size, but there is definitely something affecting pe

My family discovered recently that we have synchronous fireflies in our "back 40" (not really 40 acres, but a nice chunk of undeveloped land). They only go for a few weeks, but when they do, it's like someone threw Christmas

A bit dated, but .NET Framework Design Guidelines is one that came to mind. I read it ages ago, and its content has since been baked into static analysis tools and ides, but at the time as a younger dev I greatly appreciated the prescripti

I use http://rivetsjs.com/ in a production intranet project. At the time I started using it I wanted a lightweight alternative to angular/vuejs. I didn’t want the junior devs at the customer to have to learn webpack,

Often, when bad things come up in the news, I think of Life During Wartime: https://youtu.be/v0DpBnUznd0 I mean, there has to be lots of cocaine on that stage, but epic nonetheless.

As a rabbit trail/pet peeve, I think there needs to be _some_ standard in this space. It is silly to me that iMessage/SMS/Google Talk/Facetime/etc. can't all just interop on some open standard. I understand t

"You don't default on your debt as the world's reserve currency" What about those who say USD's reign as world reserve currency is ending? Aren't China/Russia making moves that way?

I've been using Glitch since it was HyperDev and love it. My main use cases are: 1) learning various frameworks without installing cruft on my dev laptop and 2) small personal or side projects where I need a little hosting but not ful

Interesting. I garden and have thought it would be cool to build a spectrometer that I could feed soil samples and get NPK and other nutrient levels quickly without chemical processes.

You’d just pepper Doevents() everywhere and it almost seemed multithreaded.

On productivity hack: I routinely put “//TODO: you are here. (Description)” in the code before I close it for lunch or the day. This way I can pick back up right where I left off. Saves a few mental threads context switching.

At least in Visual Studio and I assume other ides you can get nice solutionwide lists of other tags, and even add your own. But I’d agree, easiest thing that works in most cases is just TODO: I’ll sometimes add !!! To really important tod

Seems like one challenge to this would be keeping people with legit access away from it. Ie if you hide it in the billing folder, and sue in accounting knows, then tells her boyfriend who “hacks” her laptop that she left open for a bit to

Unless you’re training some ml models or doing heavy graphics, you might not need super heavy compute/gpu. If you do need, then remote into a desktop or vm is another option. I have for the past 5 years or so focused on battery life o
