I have a good amount of experience with this and wrote up a very long recommendation. Many of the parents I've worked with have different reasons for introducing their kids to tech. Without knowing your 'why', I thought…
A great start! Congratulate them on keeping the scope small. That's important when starting out. Leaves room to build on later as they're learning. Recommendations: - It's hard to tell when health is altered. Perhaps…
Seconding this. Not as a qualified frontend dev, but as a backend dev forced to learn frontend in a short time frame. Work required some frontend tools with no devs available and I was assigned the work. The folks who…
I have tried a lot of split keyboards. Haven't tried the Glove80, but I have used the Kinesis (Advantage and 360) and other scooped keyboards. They feel very naturally ergonomic. Allowing your fingers to move in a way…
Responding to you because Masters of Doom is the right answer here. It shares a lot of details from Doom Guy, but gives a more complete timeline and better views, from multiple sides. It's a book that just makes you…
I've done similar group gaming. I would recommend the following two games. The first is more casual and just fun to watch. The second is one of the greatest narratives communicated through game design. Haven't played…
I may be reading too far into it, but I think he _is_ mocking his colleague by responding to questions with similar questions. > Are your emotions pure? Are you thinking through this with clear thought and emotion? >…
My use-case is slightly different, but I use Proxmox for my home server and would recommend it. Especially if you're familiar with linux systems or want to learn about them which I've done through the years I've been…
My kid started with computers around the same age. Using mostly text editors to type in random things on my computer. It was a great way to explore letters and learn to use a keyboard. Following that we 'built' a…
I would not recommend Blood Sweat and Pixels. While it does have details on publishing decisions and crunch of making games, it has little insight into any actual game development. It's more of a sensation piece on how…
Awesome, thank you for digging that up.
It does not. Shows the logged-out experience and prefills a demo user when you select 'Sign In'. Simple click shows that. Which is a great way to demonstrate each side of the software.
I agree. I think I like this. Enough to try it out. I've seen hundreds of to-do apps, local, cloud, and hosted. This one having the timeline visible on the front page is appealing. Too many apps try to obfuscate and…
There is this ever present desire to constantly learn. I have no idea where it comes from. Haven't always felt that way but I know it affects most people I interact with. Some point to social media and the constant need…
Hey, I recognize your site! Both 'Troll and Flame' and 'Friend or Foe' were top results for Dragon Magazine galleries when I was searching for a specific issue several years ago. Ended up finding it (#142) from the…
I read a lot in my teens, but was never good at it. Computers have always held my attention better. I've gotten much more into reading _after_ having a kid because I wanted them to love books and be better at reading…
I believe the key benefit of small games is not the minimalism or short duration, but the forced condensing of core gameplay. Essentially bundling the fun without the excess fluff. I've heard developers constantly note…
A combination of general use and learning. General: Using T-UI because I'm not a fan of modern touch UIs, but it is limited to Android functions like messages and launching apps. Anything beyond that (SSH, text editing,…
Are you asking specifically for notes or as the development environment that I _do_ live in? For notes I'm (currently) using Obsidian.md, which has many of the same benefits of the previously mentioned systems. I…
I went through a similar tool search (i.e. zettelkasten, roam, notable.md, dendron, etc). With the same notions of dendron operating only in VSCode. Long story, it didn't fit well for me. While dendron operated and was…
[1] I believe this is the one you're referencing from Elliot Dallen. It's a very insightful and beautiful post. And the reason I now read articles referencing old age, which once didn't register with me as much. "Nobody…
Any (most?) phone chords work for this. I wanted a longer one and it made for a good laugh when I asked my partner for one as a gift.
I use a UHK daily. Can't mitigate those concerns, but I can provide my experience with it: 1) I enjoy it enough to carry it when I need to. I found a softshell case at a music shop that fits the UHK and my laptop…
I use the UHK exactly for this. Keyboard commands + mouse layer keys for those UIs that are pointer-only. While it doesn't replace a mouse completely (I wouldn't use it for games), it does work for all my day-to-day…
I've used the UHK daily for a bit over a year now. Planned on writing a full review (which I feel the product deserves), but I'll mention some notes here. I initially purchased the keyboard to address wrist pains.…
