   Thanks! I know that uBlock blocks the tracking script, but the rest of the site seems to work fine for me (also Chrome on Mac with uBlock Origin). If you have the time, could you check the dev tools console and email me with what you see?

   I purposely wrote my home page ( https://langworth.com ) with plain, vanilla JavaScript, which features both WebGL and plaintext clients for a server-side text adventure game, because I wanted to remind myself that it's not t

   Admittedly I was a student at the time, so I had a lot of time to explore and make things work. I used mutt for email, irssi and the bitlbee proxy for chat, wrote styled docs with LaTeX, etc. When I interned at IBM in 2005 I was even able t

   I used Emacs from 2010-2012 just to know what I was missing. I liked using it and tinkering with it, but when it came to being productive, all of the tooling felt out of date and hard to use in comparison to Vim. I said then that if someone

   I get that. I used to get pretty far with tmux and using Vim to send commands to other tmux panes. But now with web-based tools, live reloading, and utils that watch the filesystem to re-run things, the terminal-inside-an-IDE approach seems

   I do miss the terminal in a lot of ways. I feel a lot of nostalgia for the days when I got all my work done with just 2x2 terminals taking up the entire screen. (You could just fit them in with 1024x768 and the 8px high Tixus font.) But in

    Another thing: I think I use VS Code more because I spend much less time in the terminal than I did 5, 10, or 20 years ago. Everything happens in the browser now. I used to write lots of tools and services and commands for myself based in t

    Author here. Many will be disappointed to know that I've been using VS Code almost exclusively since 2019 (with the Vim plugin of course). I've been meaning to write a follow-up article, but unfortunately writing is low on the pri

    Somewhat related, I've been working on a tool to help do ad hoc work on CSV files. My current solution is embedding SQLite in the browser: https://csvhacker.statico.io/ I feel like Postgres would make this even more po

    Ah ha! It was Java applets that makes me dread seeing <object>/<embed> tags again. Gotta support IE, you know. Netscape will crash anyway.

    For some reason <object> makes me anxious. Is there some memory of the Flash/ActionScript days, or maybe ActiveX or something, that causes me to frown at seeing a mention of <object>?

    It's free, but it requires also running Postgres and Clickhouse servers instead. I'm short on RAM so I wanted something lightweight even if the disk storage wasn't as efficient as a dedicated timeseries/event DB.

    Hey HN, I made Femtostats because none of the other web analytics providers did what I needed. I needed a self-hostable, single-container, privacy-focused web analytics and statistics service for various personal sites that I maintain. Plau

    I did something similar with https://statico.link when I couldn't find a cheap, free and easy service to do this. It started as a simple nginx URL map since I was already running nginx ( https://gist.github.com&#x

    Indeed. I wrote about recreating what I wanted from Heroku within ECS Fargate. There was a lot of initial configuration but very, very low maintenance work. https://statico.medium.com/recreating-herokus-push-to-deploy...

    Posts like this demonstrate to me that JavaScript is the modern Perl. The gigantic, vibrant module ecosystem and ease of installing them* is what makes JavaScript/Node.js my default system for getting stuff done quickly. (* = Well, it

    That's fine, and I put the beginning of the game up as a coding example. And it of course tells you how to get the initial clue. But the rest of the game is all server-side, so you're on your own from there :)

    Yes, I keep a private log of all input in order to improve the game.
