St Yorre is my favourite. I will have to seek out this Rozana !

I remember around 25 years ago being in the big music hall in Philadelphia and feeling a bit like I was inside a giant cello. The cheapest seats were in the coolest place architect…

You can get nasties like legionella growing in tanks if the temperature is hot but not hot enough to kill them. The insides of these tanks can be filled with oxidised metal bits to…

When I was a kid I worked in a double glazing factory. Some of the old timers demonstrated just how hard it is to break a piece of toughened glass to me by whacking one with a bit …

Forklift is the one I settled on as well. I had the experience you describe with Path Finder before and finally I gave up. Forklift has a couple of things that annoy me daily thoug…

I have a (badly made) variant of kill sticky that I use on my phone. It kills sticky, then messes with any code blocks it finds to make them full width and use a smaller font. It d…

I remember hearing an interview with Richard Hipp where he said he pronounced it as you do ("rhymes with kryptonite" I think he may have said, or perhaps "like a mineral"). I'd alw…

After driving a new Mercedes Vito (I can't describe how insane the controls of this vehicle are, but it has capacitive-touch buttons that you have to swipe to change the stereo vol…

Such a great theme tune. That scream from mumm-ra is the icing on the cake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooVDv8kuzXY

There's one on that page: https://syntax.fm/show/779/why-sqlite-is-taking-over-with-br...

I only half-conveyed what I was aiming to; I'm able to do what you're describing by editing the search-results scratch-file then saving it. The changes propagate to the target file…

In VSCode if you do super-shift-f for find-in-project, at the top of the results pane, just right of where it's marked "x results in y files" there's a link button titled "Open in …

Can anyone explain how this works? Are these satellites in a similar orbit to GPS satellites? Do signals from cell phones etc include timestamps? Or is there a high resolution way …

Maybe you already know this, but when I used to use sublime I'd save those dozens of files with cmd/ctrl-alt-s (save all open files). I think this is a universal-ish command for we…

One place I've seen it used was a lib by a guy called DHoerl for reading images that are too big to fit in memory (this was years ago on iOS). A very over-simplified and probably a…

Thanks!

Could you post that script somewhere for us? I'd be interested to see if there are annoyances I'm just living with in there.

That's a bit I find surprising. I would have thought that working out if the pad was up to the job would be one of the easier rocket-science tasks they were faced with.

Can you tell us a bit about a project you've embedded it in? Was it done to provide a scripting interface to an application? Something else?

I agree with the sentiment of every response I've read to your comment so far. The agressive tactics, paywall, general sense of sleaze all make me actively avoid following medium l…

With both French and English enabled, it sometimes randomly "corrects" the English word "the" to the French word "thé" (meaning "tea" in English), despite every other word so far b…

That is sound advice and I take it to heart. I was mainly wondering if you'd hit any roadblocks whose existence might not have been obvious from the outset?

I've just done a small project using web components. I didn't use the shadow dom at all (please note I have no idea what I'm doing). This was after reading a single hacker news com…

Can you speak of your experience with liveviewjs? I've been looking at it, and htmx, and everything else, over the past few months for a heavily-interactive frontend project I need…
