I wrote an article to remind myself which bin directory I prefer and why. https://joeldare.com/where-i-put-personal-binaries-in-macos …

Does the SQLite version of this already exist somewhere? The github link on the footer of the page fails for me.

I love that you have 100r.ca on that short list.

As for bag space... I always take my suitcase and my backpack to the airplane and then I check my suitcase at the gate. Three reasons. First, there are no baggage fees at the gate. Second, I can roll …
comment
All those are certainly possible. I’ll see if I can get them added shortly. Edit: I've added those features. I actually changed it so that the preview you see is that actual image that gets expor…

Nice! I love this. I built Ponder in the same vein. It, however, has 10 files. I did not use the URL, did not have double the fun, and now I’m sad. https://github.com/codazoda/po…
comment
Technically, yes, but Amazon customers probably wouldn't benefit from that. I don't currently distribute or sell books directly because that creates a tax burden. So it's probably best …

I'm a self-published author. This is the default setting for new books uploaded without DRM. It's gated behind an "I understand" checkbox. I plan to allow my books to be downloaded…

I haven’t looked yet but I might be a candidate for something like this, maybe. I’m RAM constrained and, to a lesser extent, CPU constrained. It would be nice to offload some of that. That said, I don…

I had a similar result trying to create 16 similarly styled images. After half a dozen it just started kicking out the same image over and over again no matter what the prompt said. Even the “thinking…

Same. I’ve only ridden in one, but the owner wasn’t super happy when I instinctively pulled the manual lever to open the door.

My kids were young 25 years ago but the same was true for us then.

I standardized on pure HTML and CSS and wrote about why: https://joeldare.com/why-im-writing-pure-html-and-css-in-202... …

LLMs are already pretty good at brute force security testing. They aren’t “polite” pen testers. I recently used an LLM to win a CTF at work (there were no rules against AI, but I bet there will be nex…

I built a similar container when working on a CTF that didn’t exclude the use of AI tools. https://github.com/codazoda/llm-jail …

The other tried but then chose against GemShell, but it sounds awesome for my projects. It builds files that can be as small as 3MB by using the native webview. The pro version is just $13. The main d…

Uxn from hundred rabbits comes to mind. https://100r.ca

Looks pretty nice. I could download and try it but one character I find missing, from the sample, is emdash. I wrote a lot of markdown and many programming typefaces get emdash wrong (it’s hard to tel…
comment
Glad to see this. This style seems like it’s out of vogue now, but I find it much, much easier to reason about.
comment
I wonder how this works since authors are more and more likely to use AI to spell check, fix wording, find alternate words, and all manner of other things. It might be useful to understand the “rules”…

How does the rate limiter work? IP? Maybe tangential, but I just added a little 3-second delay to my stats counter. I’ll find out if that worked for the specific bots I’m trying to avoid in a couple d…

I love zine’s. There are tens of us. :)
comment
I don't really have that problem. I mostly use either png's (screenshots) or jpeg's (photos). You could certainly run into that problem if you're dealing with lots of formats or wi…
comment
I first wrote these instructions as reminders for myself. But, I do use AI in my daily work, and parts of this document are certainly touched by it. The instructions may even read that way because I&#…

I had the Tandy TRS-80 CoCo, but same… My experience was differently though. Figuring out where the typos were is what I credit with my learning to code.
