One time, this annoyed me so much that I made a website. https://anaminus.github.io/langding/ om would fall under "Yes, must scroll".

I was going to ask, is there a standard for this sort of thing? Then I realized that it's just references in the form of text. Hypertext, if you will. We should make a markup langu…

The lock file is 12 times larger than the entire source. git clone -q https://github.com/paaatrick/playball.git cd playball echo $(du -bs package-lock.json | cut -f1) / $(du -bs sr…

This sort of thing is why packages should always be namespaced. Just "base64" without any additional qualifiers makes it seem more official and definitive than it actually is.

This is a thing in Lua as well, with do-end blocks: local foo do local bar = 42 -- Same as `foo = function() ... end`, so this sets the local foo variable. function foo() return ba…

1. Use a passphrase generator to produce two or three words 2. Smash pieces of the words together until you get something that looks good. e.g. blurred grumble ambiguity: - Blurlam…

This one amuses me. You skip the long-windedness of the front page to look at the pictures. Your eyes are caught by two example user interfaces: contact forms. The one on the left …

I've been calling it Pepsi Logo Kool-Aid.

I once read that either FreeBSD or OpenBSD was the "bad one". I forget which it was, but given that BSD is the Linux of Linux, I don't really think about it.

I figured this would happen. I've also committed the even greater sin of testing in only one environment (my own). I guess we don't quite live in the future yet.

Vision: Game Boy Advance-sized website. Problem: Very tiny. Solution: Scale to viewport in integer increments. Result: https://anaminus.github.io/ This disables zoom. In fact, it a…

I WILL use todo for everything! But instead of committing them inline, I will dump them into a TODO file that is ignored by the VCS. If this file starts getting too big, then I'll …

If I can't clean the copyright grease off of my work, can I just waive the ability to enforce it? +GOAWAY This license must never be enforced. I'm sure some verbose laywerspeak is …

What I can say is that, when the payout program started, all payout requests did go through a manual process (the minimum rate was the same then, by the way). Later on, there is ev…

Worth noting that, since the currency can also come from a handful of other sources (e.g. trading cosmetics), each cash-out is manually reviewed to ensure that the currency only co…

Sometimes people don't actually want help, they just want to complain. Other people misinterpret this as a question or a debate, so their explanatory responses are received negativ…

Program that interfaces AutoHotKey and youtube-dl so that I can easily play or download things with shortcuts. Haven't played a youtube video from the actual website in years (don'…

JSON5 pretty much addresses all the problems with JSON as a config format. I'd love for it to just replace JSON entirely. https://json5.org/

"Opinionated" means decisions that have already been made for you.

This sort of thing has never worked for me. It's like the snooze button on an alarm clock; instead of hitting this relatively large button, even my half-asleep brain will precisely…

For me at least, the reluctance comes from the new proposal process not having yet proved itself for large backwards-incompatible features. I want to be assured that a Go with gene…
