I had room fulls of boxes of things that I thought might one day be important, or significant to someone. Then I realized, when I die, all those things are just going to be thrown …

Aside from my other answer, the local library has internet access, so I'm able to use AWS as needed.

You'd be surprised how much documentation you can download. And the ones that are hosted on sites, those sites are often just git repos that you can clone. A few of them (like webp…

It's self sufficiency I want for our family, and those features discourage that. My kids' schools don't teach them many things anymore, including reading an analog clock. I'd rathe…

Or they try to not use those features but get sucked back into it, like I did the many times I tried exactly that. I wonder how many people there are who wanted to live a life like…

It is a lifestyle I'm forcing on my kids, and that's intentional. Kids don't always know what's good for them, and confuse wants and needs. It's a parent's job to create a safe and…

Which model did you buy? Does it have an internet browser or apps?

It looks like you mean the M5 phone, which from what I researched, used 2G towers and thus no longer works since those have all been decommissioned. It also seems to be cheaply mad…

I have that exact phone and it has a browser built in. It's lower quality than usual but it's good enough to waste a few hours with.

I have seen those at Best Buy, the most popular is called the Jitterbug, which does come with a browser.

That looks over engineered and still not as simple as it could be. Think of those cell phones in the 90s that had a single line (or two) of spaces for text, and they had no feature…

I'm at my local public library which has wifi. It's also how I download new NPM modules, email my client, deliver my work to him, etc. But I do 90% of my work offline at home.

Last year I shut down all our internet services for everyone in my home (me, my wife and our kids), so that all we have now are a landline and radio, no internet or television or t…

If anyone takes this over, here's a patch of what I was working on last: https://sephware.com/autumn/innertabs.patch.txt

I fell into this same trap with Autumn ( https://sephware.com/autumn ) because it's such an abstract concept that it's hard to explain all that it can do. First of all the term "wi…

The days of custom software are over in general. Every major niche has at least one major player that offers its services for free, selling your data (or ads, etc) in exchange. I'm…

I can tell you from experience, PICO-8 has enthralled all my children, especially my oldest, with how little is required to make a really cool game like Jelpi. Every time we realiz…

The project "create-react-app" is a good mixture of #2 and #3 that I have been using for almost a year with almost no issues, it's just a generally great way to use React. The only…

There's a nice little app called PICO-8 that retains that simplicity, I heartily recommend it for anyone who wants to learn programming (and I don't in any way get paid for saying …

The legos he used here look like a total of $50 second hand.

To be fair, this library is literally the same as just using context and hooks. Look at the lib's implementation: https://github.com/diegohaz/constate/blob/master/src/index.t...

> Can extend itself as it runs. For example Wordpress, running off of php files can download plugins to its own server (which are just more php files) to instantly extend itself. W…
