I'm actually coming around to realizing that I _do_ expect a desktop PC to be small. I'm finding myself only considering Mini ITX desktop cases when I think about upgrading my desktop. I only have one video card and don't hav

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're describing is client-hosted Bedrock servers, not a persistent, always available, self-hosted server. AFAIK connecting to a friend's world in Bedrock is free, but they must also be onli

I'm aware that if you buy Minecraft proper (~$30) you have a license for Bedrock and Java, but I'm a little blurry on what license you get when you buy Minecraft from the Google Play store (~$5). I'm assuming it's a Bedr

A couple of weeks ago I set up a server this way to help get my fiancee into video games. I already owned a proper Minecraft PC license from way back in the day, and bought Minecraft on Android for ~$5. My thinking is that we could play tog

Cambridge. The experience will be more enjoyable, the networking will be good, and seeing a Masters from Cambridge on a resume would make a bigger impression (to me) than seeing that you worked for Amazon.

I does indeed bundle it's runtime into the executable, but this is not dissimilar from Go bundling it's gc into every executable. Granted a compiled hello world Go program will be <2mb while a similar compiled Deno program will

I've been working on an app that will use ai to decorate my Anki cards with audio/example sentences/images. The more I get into it though, the more I think I may just end up writing my own flashcard app. I feel like most of t

I personally love this. I have a pretty strong distaste for bright screens everywhere and rather like the look of e-ink screens. I'd love a future where we move away from putting up LCD panels on every surface we can advertise on.

I love where you're going with this, nearly all of my little side projects have something to do with maps and bikes. No comment on how the routes are as I'm not really familiar with any good routes in bigger Euro cities, but as so

I'm from South Carolina, pretty close to the border with North Carolina. All my life i've heard that South Carolina's roads are terrible, especially compared to North Carolina's _amazing_ roads. Looking at this data thou

Being the first language to contest C++ in places like the kernal is a pretty big deal, no? It helps that the borrow checker is a new idea around being safe without gc.

Love this, and may be helpful for incoming interns who are fuzzy on Git. Up until now my strategy has been to let them figure it out and point them to https://ohshitgit.com/ if they screw up.

I recently purchased a walking treadmill for my standing desk, though it hasn't come in yet. I do think that if you're interested in burning some calories on the clock, a standing desk is a prerequisite.

I have to imagine the Steam Deck playing in the same price bracket (the refurb base model was going for $320), Nintendo _may_ feel the pressure to support backwards compatibility. Why buy a new device and Breath of the Wild over again when

Currently working on a site that allows you to use your data from run/bike apps to visualize your data on a map, make it look neat, and order a print. I have an early version of it hosted on https://ridemapper.henrygrant.dev

My map has a _bunch_ of controls overtop of it that let the user mess around with what's displayed. Could I have made it work? Yes Could I have just made the map it's own self-sufficient component and left the rest of the app as i

Congratulations! I had a fun time making a little project with Htmx, though ultimately went with something else as I ended up heavily using a openlayers, and map libs are notoriously heavy with clientside javascript and Svelte ended up bein

My company is moving our app to React Native and evaluated Expo as an option. Our conclusion was that we needed some of the features that using Expo doesn't let you use (a lot of native modules, as we're not rewriting 100% of the

No I don't think so. Next.js adds a truckload of functionality to React, plus handles the server side, etc. Expo aims to abstract away everything that a web developer wouldn't inherently understand when moving to mobile, i.e. the
