I admit it was a bit ridiculous. However, if Microsoft is going to brag about how much AI code they are using but not also brag about how good the code is, then we are left to spec…

Obviously just speculation, but maybe don't let AI write your code... Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company’s code was written by AI https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/29/microso…

I'm exploring the idea that social media is not really social. How much different is it to interact with chatbots than it is to intermediate our human interactions through social m…

I am trying out something along those lines with friendlyfriends.community (nod to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep). Still pretty basic though, but feel free to give it a try. …

https://flexbox.help/ I get a lot of people saying it was very useful.

Here's an alternative I recently came across. In Firefox on the network tab of the dev console, right click on an XHR request. You'll have two relevant options: "Resend" and "Edit …

I use these additional parameters: `&gsrlimit=25&prop=imageinfo|pageimages&iiprop=url|size`. I think it just changes how much and what type of data is returned, but maybe that coul…

I made canweimage.com. It can't replace all the features of Google, but it can fit the bill if you just need a basic search of Creative Commons.

Depending on the time of year you go, make sure you get a reservation: https://www.nps.gov/arch/planyourvisit/permitsandreservation...

Totally had no idea. Thanks for the tip. I guess tomdn.com is for non-ddg users only.

Valid questions. I just think it's faster. One action on tomdn.com instead of 1. DDG "array.map mdn", 2. Find MDN result (usually first), 3. Click result, 4. See docs. Bangs are gr…

Check out tomdn.com. I created it to make it easier to get to MDN. E.g., instead of googling array.map, just type tomdn.com?array.map. It will take you straight to MDN docs on Arra…

One of the first things I do when looking at a new show to watch is try to find out if the show ends and was cancelled on a cliffhanger. Wikipedia is okay for this, but I've been w…

I'm interested in the use case for people who use tools like this. Do you have a lot of bank accounts/credit cards so that logging into each bank site is a pain? I tried to get int…

What are your favorite alternatives to Amazon? E.g., I go to monoprice for cables. Are there other niche options that you like for different products where you can expect quality?

If you're looking for a decent replacement to images.google.com, I run https://canweimage.com . It gets results from Wikimedia Commons. There's also just https://commons.wikimedia.…

>The trick is doing a manual entry for each transaction. I would second this for anyone whose goal is to spend less money. I think some people keep track of purchases just to see a…

The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy. Don't know how, but his words just made my brain buzz.

Yes! This is awesome. Looking at all the budget software that uses monthly time frames, I was wondering why no one uses weekly. This quote is a great way to say it, "Even though mo…

I felt the same way, and it's part of why I made spendweek.com (a privacy-first, easy-to-use competitor to Lunch Money, YNAB with a single focus on saving money instead of keeping …

Hello. I'd be very interested to hear your advice on this spend-tracking system. My goal was not to build something that keeps track of your assets and bank balances (YNAB) but to …

Yes, I can look into that.

That's a great suggestion. Thanks for chiming in.
