Can't a specialized use case exist? RVs are not great homes, but they are great homes on the go...etc.

The older you get the more you realize that every popular piece of software got that way not because it was necessarily the best, but because it was the best documented. Often the tail wags the dog here as well. The software becomes better

I can't wait to sing my region's corporate anthem before sporting events just like Rollerball[1] foretold. [1] Rollerball is kind of a hidden dystopian film. More people should watch it.

I also think that there is a place for sharpening one’s tools just for its own sake Everyone forgets this. I use Vim, GNOME, Arch and other less common toolchains because they are fun and hackable. I KNOW they make things harder for

Correct. It was named (in fun) because of its general utility, but also because it was extremely difficult to pull off before we started to get tools like flex-box. Before flex came around, this type of layout was really only able to be bui

The more modern grail (named so for their utility and difficulty to create) layout these days is the typical "docs layout" you'll see on a good docs page. These usually involve - Three columns - A left side fixed, scroll-able

Sat with Danny (old friend from Giant Bomb / GameSpot) at a wedding recently and we laughed about the surprise of how easy it was to rent the hockey rink for the shoot (he assumed it would be much harder). Danny is doing some amazing d

And this is absolutely true in CSS now as well. I find a lot of people are needing to rediscover the standards now that they've upped their featuresets.

Excellent list and examples. Browsing through a dozen or so of these I'm amazed at the care and detail in the examples. They are not only functional, but provide very solid UI work as well. As I've shifted away from platforms like

NNN has a lot more features and is very customizable. Most NNN users graduate to using it as a small file scripting system through use of plugins. Walk looks minimalist on purpose (which is nice for people that don't need all that NNN

Yep. The Steam Deck is great and it's all about usecase. Like I said it's a different category of device. Myself, I was unaware there were other options out there and figured folks might be interested in things like the G Cloud an

I know it's not as popular, but when evaluating handhelds I decided to go with a Logitech G Cloud instead. I don't see it come up as often, so I thought I'd introduce folks to it. Here was my reasoning. Ergonomics. It's

One missing observation from this article is the existence of the sidekick gang that normally follows these types. Unlike their leader, then tend to be generally good people, but tolerate their leader as a means to an end. We see this every

Speaking for myself personally, I think this is where standards have helped. Yes, new ideas spring about from frameworks and languages, but typically I see the standards cementing the good parts beyond them. 5-15 years ago I couldn't w

I'll be the contrarian. I'm in my mid 40s and have been designing / developing for the web now for 25 years professionally. I built my personal site in Astro, Svelte and Xata because they were all new technologies and I enjoy

Highly recommend the above. Moving to a launcher, defaulting to Firefox (yay adblocker), and replacing the default search with Kagi creates a near distraction free experience on Android. Unfortunately the Reddit / X changes this year s

If you like this sort of thing I highly suggest checking out Light and Magic, which is a documentary by Lawrence Kasdan about the history of ILM. In specific, startup fans will appreciate the early days of the company. Just an insane rise o

100% agree on Kagi. Happy customer. Thought it would be just another one of my attempts to use Duck Duck Go that dies after two weeks of !g usage. Turned out Kagi just works. The biggest improvement / gains is on mobile, where you sudd

If you leave a normal job, you'd be paid your accrued vacation leave. In "unlimited" setups, this gets murky, and normally turns into two weeks. Without a decent ledger, there becomes a stigma to actually using the time. When

In case anyone else was checking. Noticed some missing ones, including https://xata.io (I work there). Didn't see a way to add it (looks like a simple Django app so probably manually adding it into the admin). Guess you hav

Regardless of level, easy hires for me were people that had code up on GitHub that showed their skill level. Typically this involved having a mix of: - A working website they built themselves that captures some personality for who they are.

Migrated out in 2020. These were my reasons: - Covid made me realize how important being close to family was. - Three straight years of serious wildfires, along with the general unease of a predictable rainfall pattern put me at unease. -

For Gnome users, I really enjoy using Pop Shell (the window manager from Pop OS) as a tiling window manager. It doesn't exactly solve the problems with TWMs that this post discusses, but I often run into folks who don't know that

I'm sort of fascinated by the resilience of the Django admin. It's nearly 20 years old at this point and really hasn't changed too much since I first used it in 2007. I've always thought it was a good example of what hav

If you want something easy just to try it out give https://xata.io/chatgpt a try. Load your docs into the db, and start asking questions. Xata has a pretty good free tier and you could likely get something running in about

The difference is that DVD collections were mostly created by movie fans. You had a small, but loyal audience of people that would wait every Tuesday for releases similar to movie releases. Getting $20-30 per DVD from this audience was much

Saw this and laughed. While not entirely the same, I made a website with similar goals earlier this year. I am another Dave, another designer. There's a funny part about being a web designer and then having to build your own site. You
