    If you liked FF-Shrine, there are some active successor sites. Search for Sitting on Clouds (which is like FFShrine’s Galbadia Hotel) and SquidBoard (a forum).

    If anyone’s curious about games like this, the Scribblenauts series also has games that allow you to type the name of an object and spawn it in with game-like properties. Scribblen…

    Cool idea for sure, but at this point, it’s more confusing than fun for a new player trying to learn the systems and goals of game. Some people have griefed the starting area by pl…

    Many diff tools, such as delta ( https://github.com/dandavison/delta ) and the ones built into VS Code and IDEs by JetBrains, can configured to highlight changes within each line (…

    In history, why did scientists research gravity for so long? Were they too stupid to realize that they were obviously being pulled towards the ground? No. They hoped to learn about…

    I like most of Djot’s simplifications, but its requirement to write nested lists with blank lines between every change in indentation is a dealbreaker for me: - Djot requires - wri…

    Even if you don’t use p4merge, you can set Git’s merge.conflictStyle config to "diff3" or "zdiff3" ( https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config... ). If you do th…

    Did you know that VS Code added support for the same four-pane view as p4merge years ago? I used p4merge as my merge tool for a long time, but I switched to VS Code when I discover…

    The whitepaper says that the benchmark counted accessibility problems using the tool axe-core ( https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core ). It’s too bad that neither the site nor the …

    The section “Utility Classes: Yes, They Still Exist” is unfair in its comparison of Tailwind with pure CSS. It doesn’t take into account Tailwind’s recommendation in https://tailwi…

    It’s not just on mobile – PC Gamer’s website does that on desktop too. Even with uBlock Origin. :(
