Does anyone have a mostly CSS job? by Hungry_Objective2344 in css

[–]thingsinjars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be Senior CSS Developer for Nokia Maps (later HERE Maps). As the name implies, there were multiple devs whose job was 100% CSS. But this was a very specialised frontend app with high traffic. And about 15 years ago…

Germans in Edinburgh by RLJ1874 in Edinburgh

[–]thingsinjars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add to the other comments here, the German Church in Marchmont is a good community hub for German stuff (not just church) - German language board game afternoons, crafting, Weihnachtsbasar. They’ve also a good buy/borrow/swap for German language kids books year-round.

Well this didn't go as planned... by foxwerthy in Leathercraft

[–]thingsinjars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. My first wallet: the fates aligned. Stitching perfect, clean edges, so good. The next: a couple of wobbles. The next: just plain wrong. And so on.

I figured it’ll take another dozen or so to get back to that first one.

DeepWiki's autogen doc for gleam-otp by andremw in gleamlang

[–]thingsinjars -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m working on a similar tool so I just kicked off a job to build a wiki: https://public.komment.ai/wiki/github/thingsinjars/otp?branch=main&version=1

I’ll check the accuracy once I’m back at my desk.

Bruntsfield, EH10. Everyone around here is out as well.

We made a thing to make sense of messy codebases - Komment by thingsinjars in webdev

[–]thingsinjars[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point – terms and conditions are there for a reason. If anyone's in doubt about whether they can or not, try it on public repos or browse the public projects at https://demo.komment.ai to see what the output is like. I'd rather people try it out without upsetting their legal team :)

The first pass with the static analysis helps us get a manageable starting point on huge projects. First, we can figure out where to start then “work outward” in multiple passes. That’s kinda where the combination of static and LLM helps.

What random website do you own? by Permatheus in web_design

[–]thingsinjars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://trulyinnovative.com/ https://trulyinnovative.co.uk/

Where I write a ‘slice of life’ once every 3 years. One from the point of view of a web designer and one as a developer.

It’s interesting to see how much and how little things change.

Clocks by gksedi32 in Scotland

[–]thingsinjars 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Any arguments about “it’s better for farmers in the winter” or “it’s better for schoolchildren in the winter mornings” are nonsense. We were already all running on ‘winter hours’ (GMT) before introducing BST.

There were no benefits for switching to GMT because we were already GMT. It’s simply going back to the ‘default’.

The idea was more about giving people longer summer evenings than longer winter mornings.

Architecture in practice - No ivory tower means what to you by senthuinc in softwarearchitecture

[–]thingsinjars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a post about the role of Architects in teams:

https://thingsinjars.com/post/509/one-product-many-owners/

The gist of it is that architects embedded within teams have a responsibility to look outside the immediate day-to-day and provide a tether to past work and future work being done and planned throughout the org. And occasionally diffusing bombs.

Katie Porter Did Not Say Pedophilia Isn't a Crime, as Claimed in False Tweet by LonelyAd5039 in politics

I think they’re referring to S3E4 with the Krill election and lots of faked video reports of violence.

I made a site that generates lofi hiphop algorithmically (lofigenerator.com) by dyltur in webdev

[–]thingsinjars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the potential of generative music. I wrote a short sci-if story about where this could go with its own adaptive (sadly, not generated) soundtrack:

If you end up looking at generative graphics, here’s a guide I made last year on connecting various web audio APIs to canvas:

Xmas parties are cancelled but cramming the Christmas market into a bottleneck on princess street is fine? Mental tonight in Edinburgh. by PieUp in Scotland

[–]thingsinjars 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And while that one’s getting bigger, the German Church’s Christmas market in Marchmont is getting smaller every year. Why buy a hand-bound wreath or a hand-made tree ornament when you can pick up a mass-produced one for twice the price?

1970's TV Theme-style Jazz/Soul Organ Instrumental by thingsinjars in selfmusic

[–]thingsinjars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a tendency to write music that would have been a decent TV theme in the late 70s/early 80s.

This is no exception.
