Imagine my delight at seeing him on a packed London Tube one morning on my way to work. He asked to get by and I said something like "Just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right?" waiting for him to burst into song with the whole carriage joining in..

He just scowled and pushed past - still made my day though :)

Then I start to wonder if that's just because I'm not smart enough to understand React or whatever the fancy technology of the day is.

Feels like I have a hard understanding threshold that cannot be breached - give me a simple editor like Sublime and ask me to make a web page - even with JavaScript - and it's my happy place. Give me VSCode or Zed, Claude/Copilot/ChatGPT plugins everywhere, React tutorials and my brain goes to mush.

Perhaps a smidge disappointed when I had a look and discovered it wasn't that :)

I’m not convinced it’s all one big scam but a teensie bit hopeful your solution can help. Looking forward to trying. Thank you.

Actually, I noticed one near there yesterday on PCH (forget which station) was $6.89999 for the good stuff.

I wish there was a way to use the output/preview as a virtual camera in Meet, Zoom etc. I could drive my colleagues potty with some of these :)

Thank you for sharing all these years.

Something similar but for flights and in 3D.

12 years old now - might be fun to see what new data is out there - real time perhaps - and have another go

I might have a go at a making meta-utility site when you enter names, descriptions, tags etc. of a utility and it lists relevant sites.

To the parent's point about a good DOT COM, I have one that might be perfect since I seem incapable of finishing the project I purchased it for decades ago.

I switched to VSCode now and whilst that piece of it seems to be much more reliable, I think overall I prefer the "feel" of Zed.

I've bookmarked the article to see if that helps me figure out how to make the settings stick.

Some are easy like the size of your bank balance. Others are much harder.

For example, one asset we have is our home and there are many websites out there that tell you how much it's worth but they each vary an awful lot and change dramatically - so much so sometimes that any savings you've made in the same period are eclipsed.

Similarly, the 401k I've been building up for years seems like a decent amount but trying to calculate what it's worth after taxes and therefore how much you'll have to spend each month seems unknowable.

I think the same is true of investment accounts. If we seeded one with $500 and it's now worth $250, it's easy to think your net worth has risen by $250 but it really hasn't when taxes, fees and who knows what else is taken into account.
