Tiddlywiki is a lot (exactly?) like this.

This was also my exact reaction when I first came across a couple months ago. I promptly forgot about it until now, because I can't save it in my feed reader...

Definitely - searching for bespoke shoes yields quite a fair number. Before the reddit blackout, /r/goodyearwelt was the place to discuss fine men's footwear across the price spect…

I made a uniform of my own - same set of black tshirts, black jeans, one or two slightly different pairs of shoes. It was great for a bit! I felt more well dressed, I was always co…

Everyone says "users need to pay" but there's a second alternative that is, imo, much better: technical folk run servers for their friends and families. This is how the fediverse w…

My guess is that OP did indeed mean "knocking boots" as a reference to Operation Paperclip, where the US government granted amnesty to a bunch of Nazi scientists in return for pivo…

Yeah, I'm also surprised that folks here seem so pessimistic about building a community that supports each other. It's not a political stance, to help your neighbor. Maybe "the lib…

Tool lending libraries exist and function perfectly well - there are 3 or 4 in my city (the nearest is a... oh wait, 15 minute walk from my house.) They have tool maintenance and r…

I've had a $100 Weller and a $25 Yihua soldering station and found them pretty comparable to each-other. What's most important is that you get an electronics soldering _station_ of…

It seems you are out of touch with the liveaboard boat market. It's totally feasible to pick up a boat suitable for coastal cruising for a couple of people for $2,000. Budget anoth…

maybe closer to fois gras?

Yrvind is such a legend - he has had me on a micro-cruiser kick for quite a while now. He has a youtube channel that's worth checking out - he's a character that's fun to listen to…

I'm a lefty and have found cursive very comfortable (and I'm also both an underwriter and an overwriter.) Perhaps if you're a sidewriter you get the worse experience of pushing a p…

Well, I would probably put WotC somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, but that's still pretty different from the old-school style of play that XP-for-gold really shines for. Wot…

IME the xp-for-loot system works really well for a very particular type of game, a type largely ignored by mainstream TTRPG media. One much pulpier and closer to the classic sword-…

The organizational control is already the case :) I had to set it up when I was added to my work's GitHub org.

This isn't that very different from having a "deploy-state" branch that runs alongside your master branch too, bringing it even closer to a true monorepo.

If you want an alternative to GM (I can see why you might want to, but I'd be curious to know how many people see it as a problem), "referee" works well. Has an old-school flavor, …

Where I live (one of the most liberal cities in the US), it seems that most taxes get passed - even the poorly structured or regressive ones. It's frankly frustrating to see our pr…

This right here is a great example of why unions are essential. They're the only bargaining chip employees really have.

Super happy to see they're doing well and growing - so far the best collaborative whiteboard tool I've come across. A few reasons: 1. No account needed, just send a link. 2. Speedi…

I use a tiling window manager configured to work alongside XFCE, which provides many of those things you listed, with maybe the exception of hot plugging an external display and th…

I graduated from a CS program 6 months ago, and encountered red black trees in just one of my courses, so your experience isn't too different I think.

Happy to see a mention of democratic schooling [0]. In my opinion, as someone who not too long ago left the American public school system (but was also 'unschooled' [1] for the ear…
