An interpretation of the classic CandyBar icon for modern macOS.

I sure do miss all the fun customization you used to be able to do on a Mac.

I definitely did know this, but I never bothered to look up how to do it. TLDR is just command+c and then option+command+v where you want to move the file. Definitely going to remember this one.

This just in: fancy text prediction engines can't reason.

I might have to track down a dot matrix printer. Thanks joshtronic

Looks like, somehow, this is a cracked version of Winamp?

TLDR - just another way for the healthcare industry to fuck us.

99% chance I do this in about 28 days.

I use the shit out of Digital Color Meter, and this looks like a pretty darn good replacement.

Stuff like this makes me wish I was more into video games. It sure looks like a lot of fun!

Up to 10GB. Seems like it could be handy.

This looks cool. I might get one if I had an iPhone to fit.

Sometimes computers can be fun!

"A Genealogy of Technology and Power Since 1500" - very neat stuff

This looks pretty cool. Might have to spin up a VM and give it a go!

This looks neat.

Add your site to the internet phonebook today! I did :) HT Aaron Parecki

If you have a personal website, which I assume you do if you're following me here, you should add yourself to the Internet Phonebook while the call for websites is still open! They even have an "indie web" category! https://internetphonebook.net

This is fun.

Those popups don’t make me want to turn off my ad-blocker. They make me want to close the tab.

Yep. And that's exactly what I do.

Mastering DOM manipulation with vanilla JavaScript

I’ve said almost this exact thing before.

We don’t want attention. We learn to make ourselves smaller. We learn to make ourselves invisible.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity — in all this vastness — there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us.

Tired: Dates are hard
Wired: Text is hard

Had to resort to this after I couldn't get mocks to clear any other way. Saves a fuckton of extra typing, which is nice :)

In short: 👩🏾‍🌾 is made of 1 grapheme cluster, 4 scalars, and 7 UTF-16 code units. That’s why its length is 7.

Interesting stuff.

I've been fighting with getting a database moved from #MySQL to #Postgres for about a week now because of a dumb issue with Directus, and I finally fucking got it. The trick was, I think, to just make pgloader run slower.

I tried using the default settings that the pgloader docs suggest, only to have it shit the bed over and over at different spots, and throw errors about not being able to connect to either the PG server or the MySQL server, or simply hanging until I ctrl-c (or kill -9 sometimes -- it's a bastard) the fucking thing.

Anyway, here's the load file I ended up using.

LOAD DATABASE
  from mysql://username:password@host:port/database
  into postgresql://username:password@host:post/database

 WITH include drop, create tables, create indexes, reset sequences,
   workers = 1, concurrency = 1,
   multiple readers per thread, rows per range = 1

  SET PostgreSQL PARAMETERS
    maintenance_work_mem to '128MB',
    work_mem to '12MB',
    search_path to 'database, public, "$user"'

  SET MySQL PARAMETERS
