I tend to be the same, or I roll my own very basic analytics - essentially a hit counter. It's nice to know whether people use your stuff or not. Particularly so you don't turn off something that actually do care about.

You could make the counter-argument: Why would I want to read something written by someone who doesn't care about their audience at all? Both of those are extreme positions.

Semi related, but has anyone else noticed a massive surge in Meetup comment spam in the last few months? All my local groups are pumping out spam, mostly offering work from home employment opportunities. I keep wondering what has changed.

Making a gradient from two colours on opposite sides of the spectrum is a bit of a pathological case. There's no obvious answer what it "should" look like, and also no good reason you'd really need to do this. If you&#x2

It'd be pretty interesting to do this with no predermined goal. Get ai to find a project to work on,zand just work on it for a while until it thinks it's done, then start on the next one.

Huh, years ago ago living overseas my sharehouse all did that. But we'd take the trolley straight back to the supermarket because we weren't totally degenerate.

I tried D3 a few times, with some success, but eventually abandoned it. The mental model it requires is so different from other charting libraries it seems too difficult for my brain to grasp for any period of time. Also, I've come to

I've been thinking about this a bit in the context of a current, very complex and challenging side project. When I first began, I tried vibe coding the backend, but found the feeling of disconnect from "my" code too uncomfort

The uniform lightness looks nice, but it's a shame that the easily memorable hue values of HSL (0 = red, 120 = green, 240=blue) are lost.

I'm surprised they don't make any mention of how dangerous this sport can be. Particularly if you are taking steps to avoid CO2 build-up, which is the thing that triggers the suffocation reflex.

>so at best it saves you a transpilation pass and doesn't improve safety. That's a bit misleading. Node being able to run TS code does not "improve safety", because that's not where the type checking happens. You

It depends what you mean by "just". I worked at one. The BCorp label seemed to do a lot of good in establishing organisational culture and attracting people who were a good fit. The organisation did (and still does) a lot of good.

As a Dvorak user on a laptop it was confusing seeing a QWERTY keyboard on the screen that didn't seem to have anything to do with anything. The wpm score is also a bit meaningless when you're typing individual words at a time. My

I've been having a lot of issues with chatgpt's knowledge of DuckDb being out of date. It doesn't think DuckDb enforces foreign keys, for instance.
