Amazing. I zoomed in with my phone on the generated image and was surprised to see I could just make out the text! https://storage.j0.hn/subpixelfont.png - Also wow my screen is di…

Instead of pleading to the TypeScript gods, why not make a deal with the JavaScript deities? Let's get type-checking into JS! If I want runtime types, I reach for type guards. If I…

New number, whodis

As an RV-driver, I try my best to use the pull outs when I can. There are a few complications, though. First is the visibility of these pull-outs is often very poor. You'll be driv…

I think it's less about the game mechanics and more about the viscerality. Board game players tend to prefer physical representations they can feel and fiddle with.

I built an app around the HTML invoice template I had been using for years. https://www.cannonvoice.com/ I used this project as a training ground for a ton of different ideas and t…

I’ve been using self-hosted Matomo for https://www.cannonvoice.com since I launched a couple of weeks ago. Man this is some neato software! On top of that it was super easy to depl…

> So you used an SPA framework like angular/ember or is it pure JS? Just React and Mobx

> That's interesting, do you get enough volume (or foresee it in future) to justify Kubernetes? Absolutely not. I chose kubernetes because I was interested in learning more about i…

I've been building this product for a while. Even though there aren't any loading indicators, I think it's still good enough to get out there! I've used this project as a test bed …

As someone who has also been using TypeScript for over a year and JavaScript for over 10 years, I've had a different take on it. Disclaimer, I freaking love JavaScript and TypeScri…

The compiler can most definitely type-check that code. It's up to you whether or not you want to ignore certain types errors. Want to ignore monkey-patching related errors? Filter …

Super cool. I had never heard of Duktape before. Seems like there should be some work making Electron compatible with Duktape to reduce the memory overhead of some of our favorite …

Wow this is really neato! Often times, I find myself not only changing CSS, but editing the HTML. Does that work in Toybox?

I really wish I did have more than one middle name, both of which starting with `R` (indeed, my middle name does start with R). Maybe then as a J.R.R. Fawcett I could write fantasy…

Names are hard. My name is John. Programmers get really confused when I tell them that. "Did you know there's another programmer named John? You probably should have researched nam…

Seems like Habitat (which looks awesome by the way) relies on Docker. Which, if you consider performance heuristics in the article (size, cold/hot start time), may be a non-starter…

Very nice job! I'll definitely be trying this out in a personal project. How's your experience been with TypeScript and oao? I've got a very large monorepo (using yarn workspaces) …

That seems right. Should probably be longer. Each second, a new chunk is emitted with the appropriate html to hide the old clock element and show the new.

Basically imagine inputting text with your mouse like this: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/images/newdasher.g...

I used to notice something similar in college. cough We were smoking a lot of... various things. I had setup a chill room that didn't have any air conditioning (so it was actually …

Bidets are pretty weird, but I totally recognize their superiority to plain ol' toilet paper. +1 for wet wipes.
