Seconding Bitwarden. I moved to it from LastPass a while ago and I'm glad I did. It's simple and easy to use, open source, and they keep improving it.

Ubuntu has bitmap fonts disabled by default.

You can enable them as follows:

  cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
  sudo rm -rf 70-no-bitmaps.conf && sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf .
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

The Ubuntu wiki[1] has information about how you can be more specific and only enable a selection of fonts, if you desire.

I used this library in a lot of my University assignments. It's a really great way to add controls for 3D renderers, simulations, games, et cetera. I mostly used it for debugging purposes myself, but I could see it growing comfortably into a production-ready UI.

Github pages is quite convenient, and I believe you can use a custom domain with it.

I currently use a droplet hosted on Digitalocean for my website, but it's definitely more effort to maintain than a Github pages site would be.

I'm exactly the same. I'm using the white Nexus 5 that I bought on the day of release. I recently installed Lineage OS to bring some of the newer Android features in. I don't see myself buying a new phone for quite some time.

emacs as of ~2 years now.

I'm a total convert!

Thankfully I have not. I currently work in a small team (<10 developers). We try not to change things just for the sake of changing them, but when there is a good reason to do so then we can. Our code base is far from perfect but I am content with our ability to fix issues that would make it painful to work with.

I don't think I would be happy in a job where I didn't have this freedom.

Advent of Code is great. I've not actually finished it yet, but I keep doing a challenge here and there when I feel like it. I might go back and do some of the earlier years when I'm done with 2017.

I do. I seldom find frustration when I am programming. It's very rare that I come across an error that isn't entirely my fault. A flaw in my understanding is a learning experience. A mistake in my typing takes a simple correction, and perhaps an improvement in my tools to highlight or even automatically correct the mistake in future. I don't find this annoying.

Occasionally an issue presents itself that requires more than a simple tweak to fix. Sometimes these issues require totally rethinking my view of the problem. I find enjoyment in problem-solving.

On the rare occasion that a problem lies within a tool or library I'm using, at the very least I can usually raise it as an issue somewhere. In some cases I have been able to fix the problem myself and submit a pull request for it.

Sometimes frustration happens. I find it helps a lot to walk away from my desk for a few minutes, and come back later with fresh eyes and a clear head. Talking through a problem with someone else often highlights flaws in my logic.

Looks really cool!

I think I noticed a typo in the docs here: https://flaque.github.io/merchant.js/#totalof

Should "Map({GOLD -2});" have a colon between the key and value?

It is very slow for me on Firefox too, both stable and nightly.

Nice work. It reminds me of restclient-mode [0] for Emacs, a package that I use daily.

As a python developer, that this builds on top of python & requests is very attractive!

I use HTTPie almost daily, and it is fantastic. Really useful for debugging my APIs.

I really enjoy watching Teller at work, and it's fascinating to read this 'behind-the-scenes' stuff.

It won't even load for me, I just get an infinite spinner gif. Tried turning my browser extensions off, still no luck.

Looks like the link on the website might be wrong. I opened an issue on what I think is the correct repository: https://github.com/switchemulator/switchemulator

I did a small (6-8 teams) 48 hour game jam that I wrote code almost continuously throughout. I had about 4 hours of sleep in the middle of it, and an hour or two for eating. The rest was writing code. The code was game jam quality (that is to say not very high), but the game itself was pretty fun and we ended up placing second overall.
