You probably already know about this video series, in just in case you don’t: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK-Wicsj5rAasS2g7e-Z9eFUd... One of the most joyful things I’ve seen on YouTube.

It is just for the harness. Using a Mac Mini gives you direct access to Apple services, but also means you can use AppleScript / Apple Events for automation. Being able to run a real (as in not-headless) browser unlocks a bunch of thin

I didn’t create this, but on the surface it looks like a reasonable median between “Superpowers”[1] and “Gas Town”[2]. Posting as I don’t see any discussion on it here yet. [1] https://github.com/obra/superpowers [2]

Good for them, and good for everyone else here who's happy about the switch to remote working. That said: I think I'd almost rather quit than "work from home" indefinitely. For me I'm not "working from home&quo

If there's a Robin Hobb trilogy you need a break before starting it's this one. It left me a sobbing mess on more than one occasion.

There's another Sanderson Cosmere book called Warbreaker which crosses over with Stormlight pretty heavily from book 2 onwards (it's also very possibly there are references in book 1 which totally passed me by). You'll defini

As a bonus, the episode of 99% Percent Invisible which followed it[1] has an excellent callback. [1]: This one, I think: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/roman-mars-describes-...

The nail gun in Quake fires “nine inch nails”, which I always thought was a nice touch.

There's the letter of the law, and the spirit of the law. I suppose it depends on which you think is more important.

Ye-es... but I'd argue that's not the proposition of the video. The claim is "I made an iPhone for $300", but the reality id more like "I made an iPhone for $300 of useful spend, $700 of wasted spend and $20,000 wor
