I wrote a budgeting web app for myself. I love it when I realize there's a feature missing or implemented not quite right and I can immediately add/fix it. But my favorite part is that I never have to log in, because no user accou

I would love it if roundabouts caught on in the states, at least the single-lane ones. Multi-lane and the huge ones with traffic lights always scared me when driving in the UK.

The county where I live recently (within the last couple of years) redid a two-way stop along the road I take to work. It used to be east-west that had the stop signs, but for some reason they switched them to north-south. Even more bafflin

If you had two rounding digital clocks, one with seconds and one without, they would switch to the next minute 29.5 seconds apart. Everyone would hate that.

I use docker compose for development because it's easy to spin up an entire project at once. Tried switching to podman compose but it didn't work out of the box and I wasn't motivated to fix it. For "production" (my

I'm a Rails programmer and recently the Ruby language plugin for VSCode I was using was deprecated so I switched to Shopify's ruby-lsp. On the one hand, it's much much more capable than the old plugin: better syntax highlight

If Microsoft really wants to push passkeys, why do they require Microsoft Authenticator for passwordless accounts? I already have a passkey set up and I'd be perfectly happy to delete my password, but I can't because I don't

My wife does the same kind of thing, except she wrote a whole web app that I host on my homelab server (we're both rails devs). The app keeps track of upcoming meals on a calendar, number of leftover servings in the freezer, ingredient

The biggest benefit of Night Shift to me is that warm light is much less painful in a dim room than bluer light. I don't like my wife's car except for one feature: the dashboard lights are all orange rather than the standard white

Had a similar experience with a friend's "10 TB" SSD. After I tested it with f3 and confirmed it was fake, I opened the case and found a 64 GB microSD card and an adapter/faker board.
