I also use clear boxes, called “shoe boxes” at my local big box store. I started 8-years ago, when I devoted a closet in a new house to them. They’re now everywhere. I often answer a lot of questions …

Fun read. I was there for most of this, from 1994 to 1998. I have a little different take on what doomed the company. They had the innovation but, because of the class action, they were afraid to rele…

Love the story. I feel like I also rolled the dice more than others. Somehow, I haven’t ever hit. Well, that’s not true, my career has been good to me. Maybe that’s why, but my crazy ideas never seem …

I’ll just throw in a counter example. I turn 50 in two weeks. I programmed for the love of it and eventually turned it into my career. Maybe it hampered my love, a little, maybe. But the job and the p…

Authy but I’m considering moving to Apple Passwords so it’s all together.

Why? You’re against 2FA? You couldn’t contribute without an account before, could you?

I’m not Op but I was just looking at these. I jumped on Apple.com and notice the “Mac Pro” option is gone when clicking “Mac”. I don’t know how configurable these were as I think any M-series processo…

I love the simple design of the page. This is a random observations, but I noticed the author has an interesting "likes" button that is served from an API on https://dddddddddzzzz…

I love making Zines, but I don’t make enough of them. That might be a nice medium for something like this. I’ve also done some light-fast testing. Laser prints (both B&W and color) survive a long …

I just got a Honda Hybrid. It doesn’t phone home or do updates automatically, as far as I can tell, and I love this.
comment
Is this an effective CTA? What types of negative side-effects would there be from an “open source” application that was free, open, and restricted entirely by license? Rather than “we make no warranty…

I use my own text editor too. Nobody else seems to get value from it. I’m still surprised by the value we get from home grown solutions.

Me too. Maybe we could mastermind? Reach out, my email is in my profile.

Balance Buckets helps you set aside money for the things you care about. It’s two-minute envelope accounting for your bank balance. https://buckets.joelryan.com …

His book (maybe he has several) is fantastic.

My main point is that we need to expertly drive these tools. I forgot the trivial instruction and ended up with something that more closely resembles modern software instead of what I personally value…
comment
Cool project. I keep wanting to build a large "lite brite" style display for my window. I keep getting stopped even though I have a lot of the tools necessary, like this laser engraver. You …

> What really matters is how well does the code performs 1 month after it goes live, 6 months, 5 years. After 40 years in this industry—I started at 10 and hit 50 this year—I’ve developed a low tol…

Can you share the prompts?
comment
I used this prompt and it suggested a model I already have installed and one other. I'm not sure if it's the "newest" answer. > What is the best local LLM that I could run on th…

That is a really interesting game. It's making me think twice about real estate investment. :P
comment
The app is a local-first budgeting tool — one HTML file, no backend, no accounts, no tracking. That's the whole point. But it also means there's no server to check a license, no account to s…
comment
Yup, me too. In fact, I might consider simple copyright for something like a board game. Granted, I’ve never registered an actual copyright either. I suppose I should try it out.

They do build things. The same things.
