> It was also targetted at non-technical people and as an indie developer, it’s very difficult to reach that market. I found this comment interesting. I haven’t had any success, not for lack of try…

I also want to read more about this. I recently purchased AirPods, which have several different settings. I’ve noticed that in very noisy environments I can hear voices way better when I have Noise Ca…

It feels like "blink" all over again, although much prettier. I'll probably feel differently about that last part really soon.

What did he use as a wiki?

The makefile is a good idea to combine it all. How to you generate the TOC?

They did make it sound like a lot of work. Having done it a few times, I found it easier to write in a word processor. I prefer LibreOffice. I’ve also written in Markdown and HTML, but, for me, a word…

You can tap a few buttons and get trouble codes. At least on the 2018 or so Sportsman I had. This feature was described in the manual, if I remember correctly, and all the trouble codes were well docu…

I might like punishment, but I don’t mind a completely fresh install every once in a while. The only way to not go insane is to keep notes about what you like to change, why, and how. That way you can…

Who wants to learn Linux? I’d be happy to teach it if there’s a need. I’m happy to answer any random questions about it. My email address is in my profile.
comment
Yeah, I agree. I took a Six Sigma class and somehow a planning class taught by Welch himself back in the late 90's. I really only spent a day with him but I remember him talking a lot about quali…

This looks pretty nice. I would need to dig in a bit to see if it supports showing only my next most important task and an alternate method of ordering to work for me. Based on the docs I did read, I …
comment
That’s kinda surprising. In Polaris ATV’s they seem to have this built into the interface of the machine itself so you can read the codes on its LCD. I don’t know how complex they are but I assumed th…
comment
I was wondering. I have a DJI and it is stupid simple to fly. I’ve yet to crash mine but I don’t fly it a ton. I’m certainly not trying to fly it through complex paths like an open doorway and into a …

I’ve just started down the path of designing a smartwatch using a Pi Pico. Mine will probably not be super smart (at first) and it will have a very large case (something I like). https://ww…

It’s extremely easy to get the “art” wrong. In my case, I didn’t always know what the errors were because they were returned from 3rd party API’s and many of them the application had never seen before…
comment
I think they are called toasts because they pop up from the bottom, similar to a piece of toast popping out of a pop-up toaster oven. I used these to display errors in an internal web app once, which …
comment
I’m super interested in following this. It would be awesome if there were an email signup so I could see new material as it was released.
comment
> far too many people put way too much weight on "talent" and often tell themselves that they can't do something I consider myself a “maker” and a serial hobbyist. I see this in othe…
comment
abhas9, I’d love to chat. I’m interested in your experience with the Neat CSS framework (this is the first time I’ve come across it organically). I’m also curious about the testing you’re doing. My em…
comment
I see that this is early. It would be nice to have a screenshot and a description. Like other readers, I suggest adding some more info to the readme and/or a link to the website. The license is a…
comment
The complexity of the website showing this article is kinda comical. It’s not just the text but all these unnecessary and distracting animations. Maybe it’s a bit of satire? I haven’t read anything el…
comment
> buying any necessary tools and equipment to do it was probably cheaper than hiring someone to do it I do this, but I sometimes think it was a mistake in the end. There are often tools and materia…

I've had trouble getting this to work but I do have one addition that might help people who can make this work or partially work. I have a closet full of clear plastic shoe boxes with labels on t…

On a Mac I use Rectangle Pro for something similar, snapping my windows next to each other. It's not perfect but it does allow multiple sets of tabs at once.
comment
I wish that blog post showed a screenshot of these features so that I didn't have to go download the nightly just to see what they look like.
comment
I have one, but I never use it. It sits in a corner. I want to love it, for it’s simplicity if nothing else, but it’s slow and then I’ll want to run something it doesn’t support. Interestingly, I’ve f…

This is what I ended up doing. I used HandBrake to reduce the video to a reasonable size and then just put the MP4 on the site like anything else. I guess I'm getting a little carried away with m…
