To the OP: On the page with the pigpen cipher and knights templar code, the code at the top is the same as braille and morse.

I really like this! Great way to introduce codes and make your own secret language. Also a good way to lead into how to decode them with pattern recognition.

Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed by Ben Rich is really good

This is neat. I use disqus on my blog and had never heard of Isso. I'll have to check it out.

This sort of editor makes it impossible to edit text. Say I want to change a link or image.. I have to delete it and insert it again. I prefer editors that show a side by side of markdown and rendered text so I can type/edit markdown but also see the output. I think that's a better compromise than replacing the markdown with live text.

That was the first thing I looked for. Cool that it runs in browser instead of uploading all of my data to their server.

Don't really see a point in all the gifs. Would be much easier to see the difference if you just showed two separate images of good/bad examples.

I was looking for one a while back and ended up making my own in PHP. I know it's not a popular language anymore but I have a PHP host where I put my websites and it's the quickest to get up and running for me. Anyway, it's on github https://github.com/sachleen/Steady and a website I made using it: https://github.com/sachleen/SacSciOly | http://sacramentoscienceolympiad.com

I tried all the others and none worked for me. Had to install all these new development environments, lots of issues setting up the local servers and building sites, etc. It's not perfect and I probably would not recommend it to anyone else (no docs yet, after all), but it works for me and doesn't take too much time to throw something together if you want simplicity.

For anyone using Windows with vertical monitors, I made something in AutoHotKey that helps snap windows to top/bottom half or third of the screen. This is useful if you regularly use Win+Left/Right key to snap windows to the left/right screen on landscape monitors but miss the feature on portrait monitors.

I've never experienced this as a form of spam myself but I have noticed that some times events will get added to my calendar without me seeing the email message. I'll see something on my calendar and think "I don't remember this..." but if I had just seen it in my inbox, I would have marked it Done and remembered it, even if it was way in the future.

Then there's always this: https://www.troyhunt.com/bypassing-browser-security-warnings...

Long time lastpass user recently switched to BitWarden. I find it's UI to be cleaner/easier to use

6 years and 3 months and I am not even 1/5th of the way there.

Yup, you'd have to have all permutations of any length password in the css file AND it would have to be pre-filled using the value attribute. The original post on this talks about it in more detail: https://www.mike-gualtieri.com/posts/stealing-data-with-css-...

Summary: A method is detailed - dubbed CSS Exfil - which can be used to steal targeted data using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) as an attack vector. Due to the modern web's heavy reliance on CSS, a wide variety of data is potentially at risk, including: usernames, passwords, and sensitive data such as date of birth, social security numbers, and credit card numbers. The technique can also be used to de-anonymize users on dark nets like Tor. Defense methods are discussed for both website operators as well as web users, and a pair of browser extensions are offered which guard against this class of attack.

While it's an interesting idea, these are confusing to understand even for someone who knows these concepts.

I like this. For more complicated scripts, I use Visual Studio which has a full debugger with breakpoints and watch capabilities. For small scripts I do use print and this would be useful.

I'd like to be able to easily remove all calls to ic from my code though, since I share my scripts with my team and try not to use non-standard packages so it works on a default python install.

The threshold could be very low for gaining upvote privilege. But yes, I like this idea better. As a long time reader but someone who doesn't comment much, I don't like the idea of being further restricted on what users like me can't do. I upvote things I find interesting even if I don't comment often.

I tried to switch to Firefox recently but couldn't do it. Here are my main issues with Firefox:

- not all settings get synced across devices - All extensions are enabled in private mode without any way to turn it off. I like to sign in to another account in private mode without having my password manager auto-fill my accounts information.

I can't speak on car play, but I switched back from GMaps to Apple.

I hadn't used it since it first came out (when it sucked) but have found it's a lot better now. I especially like that it gives me the speed limit, a feature I wish Google had. I have removed Google Maps from my phone altogether now.

With how unrealistic experience expectations can be for positions, It's nice to see they're looking at junior and senior candidates and have this line:

B.S. in Computer Science would be lovely, but real-world experience is preferred.

This goes beyond blogs. So much of the web is cluttered with unnecessary crap, loading hundreds of resources to show you a small section of text you're interested in that you have to scroll down to see.

You have to have a content first mentality to do something like this.

Even Medium, for example, blocks me from reading a post until I close a popup asking me to register an account. No thanks! I just want to read the post.

Given that everybody collects data I believe this is at least a step in the right direction. It'll be interesting to see what data they are collecting though.

I am in the process of wrapping up a static site generator I made. https://github.com/sachleen/Steady I used it as an opportunity to refresh my PHP skills and start using Composer. In the process, I also made and published my first package on packagist. https://packagist.org/packages/sachleen/twig-truncatep that allows you to truncate a block of HTML (say an article) to a fixed number of paragraphs in a Twig template.

Neat. I currently use EpisodeCalendar (https://episodecalendar.com/) so I'm looking at it from the perspective of is it worth switching.

So far, no, as I like being able to see a month view of the calendar. Also, I initially expected clicking the show on the calendar to give me more information (full title, summary), not simply mark it watched.

I'll try it out for a week or so and see if it grows on me.

Do you mind sharing where you get the radar image from? I'm trying to do something similar so I can see how I should dress for my bike commute every morning. The only good/free one I have found is NOAA's RIDGE (http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/doppler/ridge_download.htm...) but it's low resolution and ugly.

How do you uninstall this?

Edit: Click gear icon, go to About tab and there is an uninstall button. Support was very quick to respond to me.

not sure if it's just me but clicking the windows store link opens the store app's "home screen" instead of your app's download screen.

Definitely.

  function one_bit(x) {
    return 1
  }

  Solution did not return correct output for x=1. Expected output: 1, got: 0

umm... ok

I had no idea Gmail had multiple "stars". Thank you for this!

I was confused by it as well. It expects you to backspace and fix your mistake before continuing.
