For the non-riders, ATGATT means "All The Gear, All The Time". I wince whenever I see some young kid and his girlfriend riding with t-shirt, short pants, and sandals. Human erasers…

The Dickey Amendment[0] frightened the CDC from doing just that. Lobbied for by the NRA and added to a spending bill by a Republican congressman. "Although the Dickey Amendment did…

My method is super simple but does require a wee bit of self discipline. I "HALT!". I even have "HALT!" written on a post-it on my monitor. Whenever I notice that my (valuable) att…

Made https://securemypw.appspot.com so I could securely share passwords with my wife (for bank, investment, biller accounts) in case something happened to me. URLs are saved in a G…

Agreed! Framework == good doesn't mean any/all frameworks == good. Many of PHP's frameworks seem to have ignored PHP's unique run-time characteristics and adopted Java idioms (with…

Agree. Shame it wasn't adopted by more websites. It shutdown just before we launched a new SaaS that used it for auth.

Read "Speaking of India" by Storti. It really helped me understand a lot of the strangeness I also observed working with India-born coworkers and contractors.

Best advice for quantity of sleep: don't stop drinking :)

Lol. I did and it was one of the best things I ever did. But I did it after university. Rode all over north america on it, me and my tent Ƈ:)

Or use a worse DNS resolver. Your ISP may be trying to cash in on DNS names that don't resolve / ain't found by instead sending you to another website that pays the ISP a small fee…

Yes of course the components are usually not the entire page; don't take the terms too literally. I'm still searching for the best name for these modes ("sprinkled" isn't quite rig…

Let me take a stab at explaining how AlpineJS is different. First, let me talk about the two "modes" of front-end frameworks, what I'll call: "FPC" and "Sprinkled": FPC or Full Pag…

The website being announced in this post, alpinejs.dev, is new for V3 of AlpineJS which was launched just yesterday. I've been using it since V1 and I can say it doesn't just look …

They may not have PAID for food but they did WORK to get that food. With UBI no work required.

The founder of SvelteJS works at the NYT. SvelteJS works well on underpowered devices.

Yup. The earth's crust is less than 1% of the earths radius. Just below the crust is all the energy we would ever need for a long long time.

At a previous job I was at, we put each release of the sprocs into a different schema. Upgraded app servers called sprocs in schema "r102" while the not-yet-upgraded app servers co…

IMHO, the biggest RTFM-Fail ever is related to ASCII. Think of all the errors made and time lost fixing issues with CSV (comma separated value) or TSV (tab separated files) or pipe…

FYI, the IBM S/360 did support ASCII[0]. A bit in the program status word indicated if the machine was running in ASCII or EBCDIC mode. Most customers ran EBCDIC because it was mor…

Apologies. Launched just 2 days ago as a static site on Netlify. Will add a JAMstack-based form once our api backend server is up and running. Google Forms was a quick and dirty so…

Coming soon https://www.fossilarium.com which will have friendlier docs.

Switch to the Blaze builtin skin/theme for a page with reasonable max-width.
