I had room fulls of boxes of things that I thought might one day be important, or significant to someone. Then I realized, when I die, all those things are just going to be thrown away or donated to a thrift store, and it's highly unli

Aside from my other answer, the local library has internet access, so I'm able to use AWS as needed.

You'd be surprised how much documentation you can download. And the ones that are hosted on sites, those sites are often just git repos that you can clone. A few of them (like webpack.org) are trickier because you have to build the sta

It's self sufficiency I want for our family, and those features discourage that. My kids' schools don't teach them many things anymore, including reading an analog clock. I'd rather my children know how to buy a map at a

Or they try to not use those features but get sucked back into it, like I did the many times I tried exactly that. I wonder how many people there are who wanted to live a life like this but because such a phone doesn't exist, they keep

It is a lifestyle I'm forcing on my kids, and that's intentional. Kids don't always know what's good for them, and confuse wants and needs. It's a parent's job to create a safe and healthy environment where the

Which model did you buy? Does it have an internet browser or apps?

It looks like you mean the M5 phone, which from what I researched, used 2G towers and thus no longer works since those have all been decommissioned. It also seems to be cheaply made and commonly have a ton of problems.

I have that exact phone and it has a browser built in. It's lower quality than usual but it's good enough to waste a few hours with.

I have seen those at Best Buy, the most popular is called the Jitterbug, which does come with a browser.

That looks over engineered and still not as simple as it could be. Think of those cell phones in the 90s that had a single line (or two) of spaces for text, and they had no features but calling and texting. That's perfect, it has liter

I'm at my local public library which has wifi. It's also how I download new NPM modules, email my client, deliver my work to him, etc. But I do 90% of my work offline at home.

I fell into this same trap with Autumn ( https://sephware.com/autumn ) because it's such an abstract concept that it's hard to explain all that it can do. First of all the term "window manager" is overload

The days of custom software are over in general. Every major niche has at least one major player that offers its services for free, selling your data (or ads, etc) in exchange. I'm not sure Sublime Text gets any money anymore now that

I can tell you from experience, PICO-8 has enthralled all my children, especially my oldest, with how little is required to make a really cool game like Jelpi. Every time we realize yet another cool thing you can do with just cos, sin, and

The project "create-react-app" is a good mixture of #2 and #3 that I have been using for almost a year with almost no issues, it's just a generally great way to use React. The only issue I had is that, even though all your co

There's a nice little app called PICO-8 that retains that simplicity, I heartily recommend it for anyone who wants to learn programming (and I don't in any way get paid for saying this). Also that syntax is almost valid Lua which

To be fair, this library is literally the same as just using context and hooks. Look at the lib's implementation: https://github.com/diegohaz/constate/blob/master/src/index.t...

I specifically put a disclaimer on my website (sephware.com) that my apps don't even collect, let alone sell, any of your data. Ironically my app (Autumn) was rejected and not allowed on the App Store, even when I filed an appeal, beca

When I first encountered hooks about a month ago, I was absolutely confused about how the `a` in `const [a,b] = useState(...)` was just a plain JS object and not some magic proxy. It took me a good hour of researching before I understood th

Now we can finally have completely clean data loaders: Create a data loader hook that loads your data in a one-shot effect (you pass it the identities array), and which returns either a valid view (an error or loading view) and no data, or

It's an intellectual freedom that has no precedent throughout history. If you walked into a library in the 1950s and thumbed through a book about communism, you were probably put on a list. If you walked into a privately owned book sto

This is an excellent layer on top of bash and has some overlap with concepts in other tools like fish shell, but it has me wondering, are we really at the end of the evolution of shells, so that we're now focused on making tools that i
