What a hero. Rats are so smart. I previously asked what I think was an official account on Instagram and was relieved that the rats are apparently too light to set off the mines.

I use ScreenFloat[0] in a similar way to catch differences between GUI settings, like the cPanel PHP extensions selector, which has tons of checkboxes. Position a screenshot of set…

I hope the CLAP plugin open standard[0] will lead to more VSTs being made available for Linux. My favourite synth, Diva[1], has already been ported over (its maker, u-he, co-develo…

https://www.jamieonkeys.dev Mostly posting about web development.

You can get all the nutrients you need, easily, from a vegan diet, with the exception of B12 (a cheap supplement will cover that). Also, human ‘canines’ are pretty pathetic. They’l…

Pigs are amazing animals: intelligent, sociable and empathetic. The way we treat them – confining pregnant sows and nursing mothers to weeks or months in gestation/farrowing crates…

A few of my favourites: brr.fyi, sheep.horse, timeflies.buzz, pudding.cool and bad.coffee.

This is great. I’ve already been using `text-wrap: balance` on headlines. Before, I was concatenating certain words with ` ` to try to avoid bad wrapping at certain viewport w…

Or as the developer you can play some silent audio in the background via an ` ` element: https://github.com/donbrae/onscreen-piano-keyboard/blob/main... . This will ensure the Web …

I wonder whether AI being the new and shiny thing will lead to a reduction in ‘innovation’ in front-end frameworks. Front-end dev seems to me to have been a solved problem for year…

One of my favourite tips is to hold down Command while dragging important apps, files and folders to the Finder toolbar in order to ‘pin’ them. You can then drag files to ‘Open in……

If I’m on headphones (usually wired) I’ll choose the Dolby Atmos mix pretty much every time. As the article notes, it’s great for classical and jazz recordings. But I prefer the At…

The background does give a slight dizzying effect on scroll. His logos are good, though, and I like his no-nonsense attitude.

I normally find that stuff I build for the web just works in Chrome and Firefox and it’s Safari that requires hacks and workarounds, even when I’m using standard APIs that are wide…

This is a great resource. Used it to research writing in the Scots language in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Ah, you also did the Transmit 3D truck for the Panic website. Nice work!

Impressive! Quite a nice song, too.

Interesting, as most jazz is not freeform and typically follows an agreed chord sequence. Certainly, jazz improvisation tends to feature lots of notes, often played at fast tempos,…

And soon to be a film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20414360 .

Things are a bit healthier elsewhere: I was in a WHSmith here in Scotland about a month ago and there were three Linux magazines on the shelf. There are others, too, like Computera…
