    I want to make it easier to just quickly enable wake lock on your device in a cross platform, no install, offline capable way. It's a silly little project but I'm super proud of it…

    Golfing SVG happens to be one of my passions. Your path definition can be further reduced to m57 47h15l24 50 24-50h15l-33 62v40h-12v-40z

    Short of building my own using this API, does a self-hosted Codesandbox/Stackblitz alternative exist? I love the idea of spinning up web containers within my corporate network so I…

    Super cool and congrats on shipping! Something I'd love to see is the ability to embed a document on other sites via iframes a la GitHub Gist embeds. That way I could, say, write a…

    Linked in the Further Reading section is the Red Blob Games article on Hexagonal Grids which is a fantastic resource and is definitely worth a read. https://www.redblobgames.com/gr…

    I absolutely love this. It would be easy enough for Valve to say "do not open the Steam Deck" and leave it at that. Instead they present clear, sensible reasons for recommending ag…

    Anecdotally: I have a 2 character GitHub user ( https://github.com/j- ) and I like to think I do more than name squat. I missed out on the 1 character user ( https://github.com/j )…

    The article cites two sources (Menlo Park Police Department and Facebook) and neither have been quoted to say that the incident was a suicide. I'm not doubting that detail -- just …
