    I think the author mistook the phrase a bit.. and there's nothing to be insulted about either.. "Coding was never the hard part" does not say coding is easy.. but that, in the cont…

    Nice writeup! Yeah, that font! :D I didn't have a deadtest cart back in ancient times, but I built one when I built my first C64 (from PCB and up), and the first thing I did with t…

    I made this little DSL that's transported by the typescript syntax, but made for declaring interfaces between a typescript application and a backend. The code-generator spits out a…

    I'm mainly thinking that the "sound" of tinnitus may be inherent in the brain, and the problem is the percept itself, not a percept of the tinitus, but the percept being generated …

    I've long suspected that (at least my own) tinnitus was a neurological phenomenon, seeing how it's always been with me at various "levels of presence", from imperceptible to so lou…
