Oh yeah --facepalm-- it's purple after all!

I get the impression the "random dude" is the expert you are already paying $100k/yr for. It sends them a slack message, email, etc. The sales pitch is you don't have to code that …

10c per slack API call. I could make a mobile phone call for less than that in 1995. It is expensive... IFTTT, Zapier, NodeRed, etc. are your competitors. E.g. https://ifttt.com/ap…

Got a spam email today. It had an unsubscribe link pointing to a random Azure blob. I click "Mark as Spam" and it offers me to unsubscribe instead? This was worring as I thought ..…

Wordpress has comments built in

The last 10% being replacing all the words with ones that are useful to the reader.

Make that 6 iterations of such a site, one using wordpress, one using HTML and VIM and no tools, one using an SSG, one using k8s on 4 solar-powered rpis, one using a home-made CMS,…

This is a bit like a gift card. Not the worst idea! I have been waiting 10 years to buy a coffee with crypto BTW.

A simple one too - it would be on a 216 colour pallete using six values for each of R, G and B. R = 1/5 G = 2/5 B = 3/5 Edit: of course that makes sense it is probably a "web safe"…

In this shovel rush, even the shovel factory makers (OpenAI) are not sustainable, and the shovel factory factory makers (NVidia) are doing well. Ironically the "gold" is with all t…

You avoid a seed phrase, but how? I thought it was "not your keys not your coin". My understanding is someone who wants secure crypto needs to cryptographically safely generate a s…

Yes sort of enough to be useful to use, and I do use it, but not complete enough to be perfect. A bit like Google tasks! It does the main things though - it can check other calenda…

An earth mass black hole would surely peturb various orbits of planets in a solar system though?

This is obvious, as anoter commenter said, but this is nonetheless useful. You can use it to show graduates. Why have them waste time relearning the same mistakes. You probably nee…

What does "server do the heavy lifting" mean here - and is this much different to a Rails or Django type of thing? I know in Node-land there are less kitchen-sink options like this…

It is not like pair programming at all. At least yet. * There is no social stuff to deal with. You want a break but don't want to look like a slacker, so you keep going. Etc. * The…

USB C adaptors. It is why we will end up with only USB C and nothing else eventually. No HDMI. No bespoke power cable. Anything that can't cut it gets adapted!
