Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of too. It came out in 1997 and predates all the Game Boy stuff. IIRC there was a "Game Boy don't TOUCH the net!" marketing campaign but I ca…

If you'd like to get out of the weeds, "The Beauty of Games" by Frank Lantz (of Universal Paperclips fame) is a thought-provoking read. The basic premise is that games are the aest…

Agreed with other commenters' advice to err towards good documentation. Don't just go for cheap. Another consideration is community: I think the Adafruit guides ( https://learn.ada…

I've picked up indoor gardening and designed some 3D-printed, self-watering planters that screw into jars. https://blog.tommy.sh/posts/adventures-in-self-watering-plan...

I was surprised this didn't already exist, so I made it... even though it's honestly just a wrapper around curl and ffmpeg!

Believe it or not, lots of folks use Youtube as a music player and just waste the video bandwidth

That would entail them permanently storing the images, which they probably don't want to do.

Sure seems like correlation to me. Older fathers are more likely to have established careers, establishing higher socioeconomic status, affording a lifestyle that engenders "geekin…

This looks great, and I see the utility of it. Really, honestly, well done. May I ask what made you settle on the name "Monica" instead of something more gender-neutral?

Glad to see your concierge service decoupled from Upverter, as nice as Upverter is. It will make it easier to try w/o the full commitment of changing software.

This is a bookmarklet I wrote for work to test my local instance against the live, deployed site. It uses iFrames and so is subject to their limitations, but I've found it to be re…

Lazy, sure, but not always a worse experience for the end user. Testing w/ Modernizr _will_ use client resources, and sometimes it's faster, cheaper, and less costly to make assump…

With respect, a guide to dotfiles should explain what dotfiles are.

Learning the minutiae of a language is important, sure, but I can't fathom why you'd willingly introduce unnecessary fragility or overthink into your codebase. Ideally, your goal a…
