I LOVE when people geek out about the most simple mathematical things*, especially discovering the animation power of the trigonometric functions... or any of mathematics underlyin…

Always love a fun quiz, but some of the example answers are just incorrect. Eg: `document.example('example')` to select a HTML button element. Others are to rigid to allow the true…

Simon's site runs on Django: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog , which is unsurprising as he is one of Django's co-creators. But I agree with you, a great use case for a …

I also went for 0% speedrun challenge.

AskUI could be a solution. It's also not just in browser, but the whole desktop: https://github.com/askui/vision-agent

I love this genre, and there is such a plethora of interesting reads. I think one of the most interesting, in terms of presenting technology's role in varied societies, is A Fire U…

In case you missed it, the current leader is `tRNA`: https://www.cellar-door.co.uk/leaderboard Which, isn't even a word, but I enjoy the internet doing classic internet things. Edi…

I love tailwind, and I've been writing CSS professionally since CSS2.1. I have often debated with many developer friends why it has performed so well, and this article really misse…

I love that the author shows the whole workflow. It highlights how much tweaking and work it takes to achieve a polished output. Still amazing how easy it was to chain the networks…

it's me.

You can't just share this and then not linked to the project. Bandcamp please!

Oh wow, I've been on here a long time.

This is surprisingly delightful! Something so simple as trying to match what I find aesthetically pleasing and what is a productive, bug friendly garden is a very fun task. Like an…

An expected result from a sad, populist ideology shoved through under the guise of "winning". GDPR has plenty of flaws, but overall is a positive force for personal data privacy. I…
