I keep a mental list of some of my favorites of these: I remember seeing a popular post on Reddit like "My girlfriend's sweater matched her cup" with a cropped figure of a woman holding a cup that looked like her sweater and

I took me a while but I finally figured this out. I think the difficulty is a dark ui pattern that hides the control behind an age selection. In the youtube kids admin settings, there's a part where you select your kids age 0-4, 4-9 et

Traefik has that same auto ssl with LE that caddy does. That's what originally drew me to caddy - which I still use for stuff - but I just recently started working on something configured for Traefik out of the box and discovered it wa

Surprised media monkey never makes this list. I started using it initially because it worked work with my ipod but I still use it because if the visual UI. Cons are that it only works on Windows and there's a paid version. I've be

I've been getting a ton of those USPS and Amazon shipping and return related phishing texts. The first couple of times I genuinely looked at them but they always have bitly URLs and sometimes they have little thoughts at the end like &

Life pro tip (I believe that everyone should do this): - Buy a domain and set up a custom email that represents you like firstname@firstlast.com - you own this domain and email address and no company, with the exception of your registrar ma

I use kagi exclusively now except for shopping and images. Anytime I use Google, now I'm disgusted with how bad the results are. The bar seems really low to supplant Google search.

If you want a component library that's going to give you accordions and stuff there's going to have to be a JS implementation involved. In the early days of bootstrap, it was jQuery. Now, if you want to use bootstrap w react etc,

I tend to prefer MUI but I've been working on an inherited project with Ant and it's gotten a lot better. Years back I would run in to cases where docs and forum posts were in Chinese. These days that's not an issue.

I feel bad because I mention it here all the time but "Trust me I'm Lying" is a great book about modern guerilla marketing that gives some concrete examples of the sort of things I'm always skeptical of in "organic&

Why bother with MP3s in this day and age? I have a whole little flowchart like this too but one thing I'll mention is that I use cueripper with eac as a fallback. When I end up using EAC I run the result through cuetools to get the ve

Using a password manager negated the whole signing up thing from me and I actually like it better because I'm signing up with a site specific email and random password instead of using a third party account that they might not support

I read "Trust me I'm lying" and it reaffirmed a lot of my theories about how modern marketing works. (This isn't a sly paid plug for the book. Trust me ;) Now I assume everything is marketing by default. A couple that co

LEGO has always had that rep as the injection molding MVP but I have to say I've been really impressed with bandai. They really dominate the model kit space and I find myself noticing how high quality they feel. I've built a bunch

Tragic. Archive the stuff you love. There was a ton of music history there that's just gone forever.

For what it's worth, I did this with the PS4 to play like two or three games. On the other hand, I've played 100%ed more games on the switch than any console since probably super Nintendo or N64. It's had such an amazing run.

That's why I'm a huge shill for gitkraken. It's a paid product so I'm a little hesitant sometimes but I've used them all and nothing compares to the power it unleashes. It completely lifts the curtain on the black b

Who are the nebulous "elites" and are you suggesting that Musk and Trump don't belong in that number? It seems like the argument is that the sheep got one over on the _maybe_ wolves by... rallying behind a couple of _definite

One day I got to work early before anyone else was there and I was daydreaming pondering earthquake scenarios and what I would do if one happened (I was on an upper floor). It wasn't until hours later when I checked the news and heard

Ha, I was having wrist pain and I got that same wrist rest. I've recommended it to a lot of people. (Although I've never thought about cutting one in half for my mouse :)

I had the same thought. My (white sharecropper fwiw) great grandfather went to Parchman (probably in the 30s or 40s) and supposedly came out broken and insane. I've always understood it to be a hell on earth on par with Alcatraz so it

Yeah, I always describe tailwind as a lightweight classname-based abstraction over native css rules. It's a _good_ abstraction because it doesn't obfuscate the actual css rules; you're still wielding css when you use it. Colo

I think this is a good guide. Git tends to be an emotional topic for a lot of people - myself included - and the hill I dramatically die on time and time again is that I think, tragically, this is about where developers stop learning git. I

I gamified my debt repayment with a popular free online financial service that has a net worth chart that shows assets, debt, and a net worth trend. Getting those red lines below the line to go up was a huge motivator for me and even if my
