Happy Friday! I built Doc Search with the generous help and advice of my wife. During a long car ride, we got to talking about the increasing difficulty of finding in-depth informa…

Print magazines worked on the same principle; the ones that are left still do. I subscribe to one magazine. In it, all of the editorial content is up front and the back third is no…

In the United States, engineering drawings or reports submitted to local, state, or federal government agencies typically have to be stamped by a licensed professional engineer. Yo…

For sure. I stood in line for the original iPhone, owned every model (except the 5C) up through the 6, then an SE, X, and now an 11 Pro since it came out. I played around with Siri…

"Get lucky" is solid advice, but you've also got to give luck something to work with. I think your overnight success started a long time ago, at least as far back as when you showe…

Thank you for your kind words! For lofi.limo I support back to Chrome 49 and Firefox 52 (the last versions available for Windows XP), which I /think/ both have Fetch, so I could ha…

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll see if I can write a few intelligent sentences on these (somewhat more advanced) subjects.

I don’t expect it to as long as the mark-up is valid. Perhaps someone with more SEO knowledge will stop by to correct me.

Thank you for the kind words! I've been working on adapting this style for web apps, but I haven't got it figured out well enough to write an article about. Yet... I wouldn't mind …

Less-than or greater-than signs (code points 0x3C and 0x3E in ASCII). A friend put me on to calling them that because they (sort of?) look like alligators with their mouths open.

I've been using this style - with some tweaks - for web apps too. I don't think I have it completely figured out yet, but it's promising so far. You can view the source of http://l…

Power is the product of current and voltage. To transfer much power at a low voltage requires a large current. Supporting a large current without getting hot and melting requires l…

Thank you for the shout-out! I see a bunch of folks came by to check it out :)

There are some good tutorials on YouTube. If you use iOS, GarageBand is free and up to the task.

Only required for finished ammunition, not for bullets alone.

Thinking about how an extrusion die is made, I imagine it's tricky to make very thin fins and to put them very close together. Copper work-hardens significantly too, which may be a…
