  • Ok real talk here for a minute. If, by any chance, some dufus has put a lightbulb in their month and need help removing it, grab a sturdy cloth towel, pass it into their mouth through the corners and gently wrap the glass part of the lightbulb in the cloth. When you're done, all corners of the cloth should be hanging outside persons mouth. Their teeth should not touch the glass directly - only through the cloth. This way when the glass breaks, all the pieces will be contained I the cloth for an easy and, if you are careful, harmless removal.

    The safest way to crack the bulb once you've wrapped it in cloth is to GENTLY tap the bottom jaw - imagine a 4 year-old landing an uppercut. The glass is very thin and cracks easily, - no need for much force.

    Of course, better not get into such a situation in the first place. Stay safe, folks!

  • Part of me thinks I shouldn't be paying for this at all and hosting on AWS, which I have for free — but self-administering the modern React deployment chain is tedious

    Part of them thinks correctly.

    React is a UI component library. Someone, please explain to me, why "deployment chain" for UI compinenets is a thing (for an indie dev, no less) we have to pay 40$ a month to automate away. It's ridiculous, it's insane and it shouldn't exist.

    Modern web dev is brain rot.

  • The big finale with cracks in the screen always gets me crying pearl-sized tears. Even when watching someone else play, just can't help it.

    Also, the scene at the lost escape pod in Dark Bramble. Also, the inside of the Interloper. So many hard-hitting moments in this game.

  • Me and my spouse are getting back into Elden Ring. Created a new character and chosen a build that's enjoyable for both of us, so we sit on a couch, passing the controller back and forth, exploring, doing quests, reading lore and praising the Erdtree. Good Times!

  • Knowing Typescript is enough to begin and start a career, you are sure to pick up relevant vanilla JS knowledge along the way. There is no way around JS: you'll see it in tooling, debugging, building etc.

    Of course you can really focus and grok everything way in advance, but I would argue it's not necessary.

  • I use Ferris Sweep. It's an ergo-split with a vertical key stagger, 34 keys, low profile. Open source, you can assemble it wired, or with some nice!nano controllers and batteries - completely wireless.

    If you're not into soldering and flashing controllers, you can order it pre-made from crafty persons on the internets.

    I started using it because most other keyboards give me wrist pain due to a medical issue I have. 34 keys might be tight for most people, but if you're ok with configuring some layers, you'll be good.

  • Yes, It takes it's time indexing the graph - and you have to re-index periodically if you want you queries and graph to be in shape. I have a pretty mature KB, and this process takes no more than a few seconds, so it's fine.

    Honestly, I love everything about it, except for the app itself. It ties me to the default editor, which is an Electron-based sluggish resource hog. I'd rather have some software scaffolding to work in an editor of my preference, but that is just me. I suspect most people in most use cases won't find it as problematic.

  • I am going to recommend, perhaps, my favorite game of all time, Outer Wilds from the studio Mobius Games.

    But please please promise to go in completely blind. Your awareness and knowledge of the world is the key mechanic, so almost any info not only spoils the mystery, but also robs you of literal measurable minutes in gameplay.

    All I can say - it is a very touching first-person immersive stimulation game in space about, essentially, alien archeology. Expect wonder, discovery, some frights, have your mind completely blown every 10-20 minutes. It will probably make you cry a couple times as well.

    It is one of those games when, after finishing it, you immediately get sad because you will never experience it again in the same way. So you start annoying everyone into playing it, just to enjoy discussing it and seeing someone else play.

    And the DLC is equally awesome.
