I thought this might be an interesting read but was super put off to be greeted with a long screed moralizing over my choice of browser. I have 3 different browsers installed that use for various situations and reasons. Getting shamed by an

Tools such as babel, webpack, esbuild, postcss, etc. are now considered a bit low-level, and usually do not need to be set up manually these days. Rather, one would opt for something like vite, the spiritual successor to react-scripts, that

Writing the GmailFS HOWTO, and fixing a bug in the process, was my first exposure to the power of OSS. Looking back, I'm pretty sure this is what led me to persue software engineering as a career!

I setup a double entry bookkeeping solution for my LLC that uses Amazon QLDB as a block chain ledger. Not sure if this really counts, but it seemed like a good use case for the tech. I used amazon-qldb-double-entry-sample-java as a starting

Hi Ted, for what it's worth, this is the first time I've heard of you all, and based on your responses here alone, you converted a sale away from Google Domains today. I look forward to being yet another happy customer!

TotalWar franchise works great in native Linux/Steam. I think I even got better performance than when I played the same (Shogun 2) in Windows on the same laptop. Kudos to CreativeAssembly for backporting all the old releases to the pla

FYI I would happily pay a modest yearly subscription fee to any service that would save as much time as yours potentially does. Keep up the great work!

Sorry to double post, but I'm amazed that I seem to be the only one here who knows of this gem. I mean, just look into the level of detail he puts into his writeup on the pathfinding algos [1]. SC4 is a whole region simulator with mult

I have gotten many years of enjoyment out of SC4 and the NAM Traffic Simulator [1] There is (or was, I suppose) a vibrant and diverse community of SC4 modders. Really cool stuff to be found there. [1] https://sc4devotion.com&#x2F

JWT tokens are irrevocable by design, or it would defeat the purpose. I would advise against issuing JWT token which are long-lived. Using "refresh tokens" are generally more prefered, as this gives an opportunity to revoke a stol

Not sure why the downvotes. Comradesmith's assessment of rot13 is absolutely correct. Clearly rot13 is more like PGP, in that you can recover the plain text from cypher text.

I have never had to use the brakets like that when referring to a remote path in shell (bash or zsh). Is it because of the port number? Perhaps I never used a port number in the string, but im pretty sure I've needed it at some point (
