I'm building a photo book system that respects privacy via no tracking, not sending anything to the server until you go to print (all stored in indexeddb until then) and even then …

Windows really needs to ditch CRLF and just use LF, and switch from backslashes to forward slashes. Or better yet, just switch everything to full POSIX. In powershell everything is…

Yeah I'm surprised I've no way to delete or edit my comment.

My apologies, this isn't the cause. Bun build doesn't suffer from this bug.

I think this is ultimately caused by a Bun bug which I reported, which means source maps are exposed in production: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/28001 Claude code uses (an…

I find it infuriating when clickers say they send page up/down but actually send regular up/down key events.

I use URLs for pixel art: https://www.mathsuniverse.com/pixel-art?p=GgpUODLkg-N0JchwOF...

The latest version of Microsoft Teams is absolutely terrible at this... just one URL for everything. No way to bookmark even a particular team.

Bun is brilliant. I rarely have to install any packages, as Bun has just the right things built in, like SQL, S3 and now Redis too.

Almost all my computer science students are using Typst on my recommendation to write up their programming projects, vs most using Microsoft Word last year. Specifically, writing i…

I'm writing this on a Unihertz Jelly Star which is tiny, and I consider it my "protest phone" at the lack of decent small phones. A friend jokingly calls it my "microphone", anothe…

Indeed. But sadly, they don't update them. The Unihertz Jelly Star is stuck on the June 2023 (yes... 2 years ago!) Android security update.

I'm struggling to see the problem with this statement, other than maybe to add in the word "usually". My students will know of graphs in maths where the origin is always bottom lef…

I loved tixy when I first discovered it a few years ago so created this https://www.mathsuniverse.com/tixy (with permission from the original author) with puzzles to solve on the t…

Your query for Java will include all instances of JavaScript as well, so you're over representing Java.

As a teacher of computer science, I'm working on various free resources for teachers and students, such as a guide to simulating forces and collisions in JavaScript ( https://www.m…

I made a similar thing earlier this year at https://www.mathsuniverse.com/sorting that doesn't have music and focuses more on teaching students how different sorting algorithms wor…

Bought for my son's birthday, just set it up. Very smooth. We're both delighted with it.

"Building experiences with real-time components was previously only accessible to multi-billion dollar companies" ... what a load of nonsense. I've built them in a few hours, spend…

Here's something similar I made yesterday. Just view source of the controlling page and the pop-up pages for how it works (single page with inline vanilla JavaScript and no npm ins…

It has experimental support as of this release: https://bun.sh/blog/bun-v1.0#bun-more-thing

I made a guided tutorial based around tixy: https://www.mathsuniverse.com/tixy

I love tixy.land, but as a school teacher of maths and computer science I think it may be a bit beyond most of my students. So with permission from Martin Kleppe, I created this gu…

I've created a whiteboard which I use every lesson when teaching maths, though it can be used for anything. It currently has a few hundred teachers using it daily. It's designed fo…
