I spent way too much time doing fancy infographic-style stuff for a video about the 4th book in the Wheel of Time : https://youtu.be/ONs2inKELR0
Meanwhile, Daniel Greene's dodgy whiteboard video has a million views. Don't mind me as I eat these sour grapes...

The term Page-Turner is often misapplied. I rarely find any books genuine page-turners.
The Cuckoo's Egg is the exception. Such a fantastically well-written book! Thanks Cliff!

I've converted my 23 year old Java desktop app to a website.
It's an app to make searching eBay an actual joy. Perform a search, then highlight text to trash or group that term. Then perform the search again tomorrow and it will hide all the stuff you've already seen.

There must be some law about articles proclaiming X is dead. Does anyone know of one? Something along the lines of "Any article declaring X is dead is always wrong and just trying to sell you something"
Dumbest article I've read in a while.

I mean no disrespect by this but when I saw the headline on HN I immediately thought it was about Scott Adams the text adventure guy. And then I started watching the video and was a bit confused at first before it all clicked.
Re:Don't fall into the anti-AI hype

Here's how AI coding has helped me : to beat procrastination.
Often while trying to fall asleep, I'll be thinking something like "I need my app to do such and such".
The next day, instead of forcing myself to start coding, I can literally say to Intelij Junie (using Claude), exactly that: "I need my app to do such and such". I'm often pleasantly surprised by the outcome. And if there's anything that needs to be tweaked, I'm now in the mode of critiquing and editing.

Watch hours are literally how long someone watches.
So if you watch a 2 hour video at 2x, it counts as 1 hour.

Fair warning to any others: It's mostly fantasy and sci-fi with the occasional tech book thrown in

I should also point out - if you download the current version, you should immediately apply the update that will pop up. And even then, you're results may be flakey.
