"tok" as a suffix for short form video is unhinged

Just wanted to say congrats on the project. This is truly a masterpiece from the utility of it, the novelty, to execution with the vscode / meridian app, and sass. Brilliant execution!

I feel like it shouldn't be the classes responsibility to provide a method to return a nullable / falsey value. We should have a convenient one-line syntax around try / catch. Something like pipe operators and or pattern matching.

I've gotten a couple gel manicures recently, it's addicting once you start because it lasts a long time. I'm taking a break from it because it makes your nails brittle. They make special gloves you can wear that just expose your nails, ideally I was thinking the same technology in 3d projection mapping could be used to only expose the nailbed to uv ligt with hand tracking. It would increase the the cost of one of these uv curing devices by smartifying it but would prevent cancer...

Is there any DIY / 3D Printed community-made projects around designing household appliances? I'm mainly thinking about vacuums but even blenders and other things. Im not talking about everything being hand-made but designs can be made with popular motors, blades, and things of that nature. I like the idea of an off-the-shelf vacuum using the most efficient or readily available motors, and bags.

It's really because we have some wonderful collaboration between vendors now, and they don't want to have to come up with their own APIs.

I've been using the native Uint8Array that Deno provides and it's been great overall. From time to time I may need to covert away from a Buffer type and it's a little bit of a headache, but I think the ecosystem is supporting Uint8Array, at least on the server very well.

Fat Cat Fab Lab in NYC is great and still has classing going: https://fatcatfablab.org/classes

I do wish there was more of them though.

Ugh this is so in the zeitgeist I made this a couple weeks back: https://lofi.supply/

I agree with this article, however I think that HTMX needs a strong server framework to support HTMX. I've thought about this alot and a couple months back created this deno / typescript framework https://github.com/reggi/htmx-components, would love for people to take a look at it and provide guidance and direction for a releasable version.

Hey! That would be really cool and interesting. You'd still need all the creators to agree on a pricing structure based on the transparency mentioned in the article, you'd still need to pay engineers and cover server costs.

I'm very interested in a way to containerize (runing them within a vm) these tools that way nothing needs to be installed, and could go easily from machine to machine, without polluting the filesystem.

Thanks for this! This is really helpful. To expand further, I can't tell you how many times I've written something as simple as a promised version of fs exists, and if you do copy and paste something like that into your project you have to bring it's deps (tracking them down in package.json) in and tests (for full coverage into your new project. Alternatively you make it a one-off npm module. It just seems like both those options are cumbersome and inefficient for one function. I'm very much against the MVC setup (I'm working with mainly API's), and as well as OOP in general, and write a ton of very small functions, some that expand on tools like lodash, and that I use a lot. This is where it gets harder and harder to maintain them.

Awesome. One of the first posts was "Google Removes http:// from Chrome". I remember that!

And by successful people I mean, whatever that means to you. Not saying i'm necessarily successful.

To add some context to this. Surround yourself with successful people, if you have to listen everyday to people who are making things and making progress It might help motivate, or not. Just a thought.

Buddy system? I need a buddy. Anyone need a buddy? I've been coding deep for a couple of days straight. I've gotten to the point where I'm just filing github issues and stackoverflow questions for everything. I just started picking on my package manager. I could really use a buddy.

I totally agree that this is a major issue at the moment with github. I even tried to build something to organize repositories http://hora.reggi.com/, the thing is most package managers (npm, and bower for instance) have a keywords field, can't we just use those?

me too

Facebook targeting that Slack, HipChat market?

I had a twitter convo with David DeSandro about this exact thing today https://twitter.com/thomasreggi/status/552903079142883329. I've really taken to projects like https://github.com/tjmehta/101 where you are forced (there's an error if you include the index) to include the files / functions that you need directly. He raised some good points.
