injuly: I understand not everyone will be psyched about JavaScript. You can feel free to skip the prose and try the online playground for the parser (compiled to WASM), or browse the code on Codeberg and GitHub. All feedback is welcome! Few things keep me up at night more than the untapped potential in current devel...

It's inevitable that your machine behaves in an unexpected way. If software always did what you expected, sure, you'd have fewer gray hairs, but writing software would be much less interesting. Depending on the context you may run your program under a debugger, open the dev tools in your browser, or you may run perf...

I was looking for a service that would convert any article into audio form (plain text-to-speech, not some AI “summary”) and publish as a new episode of a private podcast, so that I can listen to it in my regular podcast client. Didn’t find anything I like, so I made this very rough prototype using OpenAI TTS API and Cloudflare Workers; it took about...

Hello everyone! One thing I’ve realized is how little these things are talked about, given that we spend most of our time sitting around coding, chatting, reading or designing; the other day I read that Hinton never sat down because he had a severe back pain problem. So I started wondering to what extent our current setup is important and to what extent it...

I feel like this is such a common pattern at this point that there should be a much clearer go-to solution than there is. OCI containers are the lingua franca of software distribution now – why does it seem like the only option for deploying them that claims to be “production ready” is Kubernetes?
