We’ve had our Miele dishwasher for 5 years. Running on average 1.5 times a day. It’s flawless. Here in the UK the customer service has been amazing. The company we bought from (AO.com) installed it incorrectly (the…
Back in the early 2000s lots of websites had an unauthenticated "guestbook" feature where visitors could leave a message. As soon as Google and page rank became a thing bots would drive by and leave links to the website…
I’ve had to deal with this a few times now. After asking around the greybeards I really respect this is my current run book. First: Talk to them about it. This is the hardest part. The aim of this conversation is to let…
This seems like a neat little service. Just a heads up. Here in the UK Peng is slang for sexually attractive.
How does Docalysis.com work? I'm presuming you take the user input then search the documents for matching words to get snippets then add the snippets to a prompt (along with the original query) you send to an LLM. What…
It may have something to do with this mind blowing exchange between Casey Muratori (a highly experienced game engine developer) and the Microsoft Terminal team. https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362 It…
Harvard was created to educate the elite not to create it. This is the fundamental issue here. These institutions see their purpose as preserving western civilisation and hopefully shaping its future direction. Part of…
Eric Gill the creator of the Gill Sans font was extremely deviant. His artwork is iconic and from what I can tell not deviant.
On a long enough timeline the natural value of land tends towards infinity. If a corporate entity can take out a 1,000 year loan it can make a profit buying a single home for one billion dollars. This is why the…
My fundamental problem with email is all the robots. I need a tool that sorts all my email into two boxes. "Robots" and "Humans". Further I want repeated notifications about a message if: - It comes from a human - It…
That's an excellent phrase. It reminds me of the navy saying "regulations are written in blood"
I agree with a lot of what you're saying. However if the threshold for not including a package is that it's 8 lines of code that would rule out using most of the functions in Lodash and Underscore. If the threshold is…
yeah it's called Tree Shaking. It's been a massive area of improvement over the last few years. However JavaScript being dynamic can be very difficult to effectively statically analyse. A good example: There is a…
It seems to be really common to sling mud at the JavaScript/NPM ecosystem from developers who work in other domains. One of the big constraints we have in front end development is that every added feature adds to the…
I would presume the ideal super weapon would be a lethal airborne virus that only you had the vaccination for. It would decimate your enemy but leave all their infrastructure intact. It wouldn't be too expensive to…
The physical network itself evolved away from peer -> peer back to client -> server. With IPv6 I'd hoped we would today be living in a world where I could send my friend the url fe80::1ff:fe23:4567:890a/cat.mov and they…
Bit late to the party but I really enjoyed this comment and the subsequent conversation. I was given some advice when I was junior and I've been repeating it for years. Code it read 100 times more than it is…
I can't overstate how revolutionary Sketch was when it came out. We were a small webdev shop and were pretty early adopters. Back then it was standard practice for designers to work in Photoshop and hand over full…
I think you’re making the mistake of looking at this from a developer’s point of view and ignoring the business pressures involved. Of course it’s easier to build native on one platform. Here in the UK, for a startup…
This is really interesting work. Have you paid the $15,000 for a security audit Google requires now for accessing the Gmail API. https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/9110914?hl=en If so how was your experience going…
I've been playing with a Waveshare display using this great little library for rendering with HTML and JS https://github.com/samsonmking/epaper.js However I suspect the resolution (even for the 12.5") is too low to…
I'd love to hear some suggestions. I've been told the YouTube algorithm essentially rewards content creators for quantity over quality. Ben Eater seems to only post once a month but every single video is exceptionally…
Our meet up has been running for a decade. This has only been possible by making attendees aware that they own the event. Over the years people have moved on and others have stepped in to keep the thing alive. By…
This is an excellent idea. For me, Pinterest ruins search in a few ways. First up. I don't have a Pinterest account. This means when I click an image result I can't actually get to the full-size image without logging…
Or in Chrome, the Just Read plugin actually makes the internet usable again! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/just-read/dgmanlpm...
