This is neat. Have you noticed any difference in duplicate detection between strongly typed and loosely typed languages / code bases?

In every monolithic Java Jersey server I worked in there was always at least 1 class using @MatrixParam instead of the query param equivalent. No one could ever answer me why or who because it was always written in a project before it migrated to git.

The local news includes the body cam video.

Summary: The farmer was asked to leave by an officer. The farmer acknowledges the request and then walks to the head table to start handing the members documents. He was asked again to leave a couple of more times replying with “On what grounds” and then comes the “…flat and final ‘Arrest him’” that the article mentions.

Some context was left out between the his three minutes to speak being up and the arrest.

I imagined the location has to do with the nearby Callaway Nuclear power plant, and the solar projects that Ameren have been putting up in Montgomery County for the past few years.

I’ve been considering new features on Book Bounce for my use cases. I’m pretty hesitant to start anything new on it while I’m waiting for approval for Google Play…

In the mean time, I’m working on a recipe application I’ve had countless false starts on. It’s centered around iterations and version on recipes, tracking changes to ingredients and directions to build new a new recipe from an existing one.

I’m starting with a go Bubbletea tui this time and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it compared to the React SPAs I’ve tried before. Not feeling compelled to style anything while working on the UX has been nice.

Built a book rotation, reading activity tracker, OpenLibrary ebook reader for my son’s story time.

After coming back from paternity leave, I found that my team had really leaned in to AI driven development. This project was half catching up and half attempting to solve the burn out from the repeated books my wife and I were experiencing.

Can confirm this is what scanning the QR code does. I just went through this to get my Google dev account verified.

I’m working on a story time utility.(https://bedtimebookhelper.com/)

You build up a library from your physical books by scanning them in or discover OpenLibrary books to read in app. Then as you mark books in your library as read, it starts building a rotation and recommending books you haven’t read recently. I’ve been using this nightly to track my son’s 1000 books before kindergarten for the last couple of months.

Currently, I’m working to get the app out on Google Play and adding multiple story time attendee support.

I’m getting ready for the first release of a story time app my wife and I have been using for reading to our son.

The scope creeped to book discovery and ebook reading with OpenLibrary from just tracking and personal library recommendations.

But we have been able to incorporate new books into the story time rotation so I’m convinced it’s worth it.

It’s definitely been fun experiencing the range of quality for kids books in the internet archive.

I’m aiming for a May 1.0 release on iOS and Android.

I've been working on an app to track my son's 1000 books before kindergarten. I've also added QOL features like barcode scanning for adding books to the library and creating a rotation based on the last time the book was read and whether I actually enjoy reading it. (The books I don't like make it through the rotation just with less frequency.)

This was an excuse to ship a mobile app for the first time and get familiar with supabase.

After these last few bugs are fixed, its ready for a semi-public TestFlight with our friends who have kids.

A hot reloadable menu library for raylib / raygui applications in Zig.

https://github.com/pajanowski/raymenuz

I want to use this for future raylib games as a developer menu.

I wanted to learn more Zig and be able to add or remove game state fields to and from the screen without having to recompile.

From my experience, nice decorations. I haven't gone further than getting a top bar set up and getting my normal shortcuts setup.

I'm sure I'm not getting everything everything I could out of it.

I’m really curious about your experience, what distro you used hyprland on, what dotfiles did damage to your install etc.

I just installed hyprland yesterday and outside of having to switch back to i3 once to install what they had set for a terminal in their default config(kitty), I haven’t had to leave again.

I'm on my fraternity's alumni board. The chapter has been using spread sheets for everything since I was an active member. Every year, information about recruitment gets lost in the shuffle between officers.

I've been working on a bespoke CRM for them to prevent the spreadsheet rot while providing some helpful visualization and making their data easier to use in the feature. The goal is to make the entire recruitment process self documenting.

Its slowly evolving into a way to keep track of actives and alumni, as well as ways for actives to interact with the recruitment process.
