I'll bite here... I used to track my finances and balance my checkbook. But, it took hours of my time. The best thing I ever did was create a separate account for my disposable income. My bills a…

I've updated this. Still looks the same on all my devices but hopefully it's an improvement for others. Thanks, again, for the tip.

I couldn't decide on this one. When I centered it, it didn't feel quite right. I searched the web for examples, and found a lot of left aligned examples, so I went with that. I also had this…

Thanks, I'll try auto and see how it goes.

Most of the "small" designs and frameworks I've seen are quite large, in my mind. I just finished building a minimalist html/css template for some of my own projects. I'm star…

I did a quick search but I didn't spend too much time on the name. Although it reads a little like a marketing peace, and I would love it if others used it, it's just a little personal proje…

That's probably fine; the restaurant wouldn't be giving a discount in that case.

> when you order delivery from one of the large delivery partners like GrubHub or DoorDash - not only do you pay a delivery fee, service fee, and a generous tip to the driver. But we restaurant own…

I've been looking for a better way to make changes to my personal projects from my Chromebook.

The first story is about finding out a company is junk, shorting their stock, then releasing the information. Is that not a form of stock fraud, or at least manipulation, as well?

Same on my Pixel 3a when rendering 2,000. two.js is faster. At 1,000 they're neck and neck.

I started my blog 15 years ago. The tactic I take is to write things I think I might need again. I often write very simple blog posts, at first, and then refine those over time. For things that I only…

Many companies predicate things on you keeping your mouth shut, such as your severance.

As a fan of zines, I've followed her for a while now. She does awesome work.

My teen years right there; brings back the feels. I became a programmer just a little too late to ride this wave, or perhaps I just didn't have the ambition. I found a spreadsheet of my shareware…

I have a box of 3.25" disks from my BBS days. I need to take a look at those and see if I can get any text files from them. This archive is an amazing glimpse at my youth.

This. The monitors of the time were called monochrome. Most of them came in green or amber.

Your not alone. I didn't read far enough into the non-answer to find the answer.

Hi everyone. I created this as an app some time ago but I decided to pull all the tracking, user login, and other junk out and release it on the web. It could use some love but 30-minutes was about al…

I put together instructions for creating an install-free dock icon for Zoom. Nothing ground breaking here, I just combined several sets of instructions I found useful. https://blog.joeldare…

In Utah an old car used to pass safety inspection without a speedo. My Dad's old Prism had the speedo die at just over 100k and him and my brother put another 200k (estated) miles on it. Registra…

I ordered a DC power cord for an Asthma nebulizer and the expected arrival date is 30-days away. Seeing that, I rummaged through my garage and found a 12v inverter and tested that with the nebulizer o…

High Blood Pressure is listed as one of the conditions. 100M people in the US had high blood pressure in 2018. The population was 328M. That's nearly 1/3rd of us having just one of these &qu…

Here's a mask pattern and some additional information from Forbes. It also links to the CDC's comment. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tjmccue/2020/03/20…

I wanted to build something related to the pandemic. Some of my friends were unsure if they are sick. One way to tell is to check your temperature and quarantine yourself if it's over 99.5F.…
