I replaced the stereo in my ‘05 Tacoma with a new, touchscreen-with-CarPlay head unit. I hate not having a physical volume knob. I do love the modern features. But hunting for that volume up/down button for a maddening while driving an

I’ll be installing this tonight! Spotify on my Apple TV is my go-to for winding down before bed. I’ve always wanted what I call “video mute.”

I put myself in this very position with some cache expiration times. Almost everything in the server-side that is related to times for a particular client uses milliseconds. Of course, redis’s `SETEX` does not. It uses seconds. The data got

I’ve worked in both “tech” and “tech-adjacent” roles over 20+ years. The tech-side of the equation often compensates better, the adjacent roles can have job security like you’d not believe, though it may be a bit boring. YMMV

Perhaps I missed it, but the single biggest reason that I moved away from SPAs (such as React) and back to server-side rendering of templates is avoiding having to model my data twice. That’s a lot of overhead. Granted, I’m in the B2B softw

This is among my primary frustrations, but I cannot find a polite way to address it, especially with overseas employees. I don’t want to come off as rude.

Hah! Reminds me of myself as a youth, but I was trying to find people primes with an utterly horrible Perl script. I wish I still hade my early code from my salad days.

This is interesting, but the linked article doesn’t delve into the potential effects that decreasing gas prices might have on either the supply or demand sides, nor does it inform the reader about potential knock-on effects of such a move.

I happily use SQLite via `sqflite`, a Flutter library, to store and retrieve data for an offline-first mobile app. This is my first time really using it, and I’m quite pleased with the experience and the familiar feel of using SQL.

I worry more about the added mass of the e-bikes in the case of a collision with a pedestrian, another cyclist, or a traditional motor vehicle. Potential speeds are relatively the same. I own and frequently ride e-bike, and am an advocate.
