I hear guitarists and bassists do this quite a bit during gigs.

I just did this last year. I just got my boat, which is also my home, and in terms of outgoing, it's very little. We are talking £1000 a year for license and insurance and £50 a mo…

It's also not enough for VSCode and Web Development. Opening VSCode on a medium sized Next.js project takes a good minute or so before Intellisense kicks in. But I'm not willing to…

I use a headtorch, and then end up staying awake for 2 hours after.

That's not how you control the narrative.

Seems like the powers that be are acting super quick to broadcast their version of the story... Exact same happened with the GameStop fiasco.

Completely tangential: I tried VMWire fusion to run multiple browsers to get tickets for Glastonbury. Are virtual machines ever not slow? Running 9 virtual machines on an M1 mac, d…

I have some LiFePO4 batteries powering my laptop, and onboard electronics on my boat. They are very heavy, but have a super long life. Often forgotten, they are used a lot in autom…

I feel the same, but won't ever accept non-remote, as I'd end up losing 2 hours a day, the money for lunch, and the transport money. Companies that are non-remote are also more lik…

Canals, I use 4G for everything. Do market research and find the best provider. It's difficult but not impossible to web dev.

I'm in London at the moment, as are many boaters. It's a bit overcrowded here.

Diesel Engine. A bit diesel HR2 that I had to take apart once!

Not in a way where your main currency is GBP. On a plastic boat, you don't have to black the hull, but things do break, engines need replacement oil, new filters. Painting, leaks i…

I live on a boat... AMA

Too paywalled; didn't read; The Robinhood case means the next time a short squeeze happens (I'm looking at you BBBY), then anyone is going to think twice about turning off the buy …

There's a common trope that everyones first game is going to be an MMORPG from scratch. I always try to convince them that a simple puzzle game is a much easier starting point, no …

I'd create a simple health check based on the integrity of the data your retrieve. Think about giving it a score based on how the data is shaped. If it's missing prices for example…

I'm struggling with a site at the moment for exactly this reason, it requires an auth key to return the products. Puppeteer had it working, but if I need to do this in a google fir…

jQuery. Not that I actively use it. It's just not a month goes by that I don't have to interact with it. Oh! And Cheerio is based on it, and is great for web crawling.

I really like MJML. It's an abstraction layer that targets most email providers. You still need to test with a service like Litmus, but it gets you 90% of the way there.

Cotman are okay, but brushes are so important, and for watercolor they last forever. My recommendations... Student Paints: Cotman as mentioned, or Van Gogh Pro Paints: Daniel Smith…

I'm looking for a decent compact duffel bag, which can double as a oversized backpack. Ballstic nylon sounds like the stuff! Good for taking on holiday when you don't want to store…

What isn't mentioned here is the constant gaslighting by MSM about 'forgetting GameStop'. It can't be measured, but there are some seriously powerful people out there who want peop…

I care that it makes it super easy and free to send an image as opposed to MMS and the confusing technology that exists there.
