When did Google start asking for this to watch age-restricted videos? (And how does having a credit card prove that I'm an adult?)

One new tip for this year.

If you do New Year Resolutions, you should also do Last Year Achievements.

You'll be surprised of how many things you achieved that weren't in your resolutions but are worthy of them.

One Piece chapter 1000 was just released! Check out this website :) https://onepiece-1000logs.com

I've made a simple #Solid app to test compatibility with different PODs, if it doesn't work with your Solid account please let me know by opening an issue! https://ramen.noeldemartin.com

Seneca's "On Discursiveness in Reading" is one of my favourite letters of his, and I feel the same way about programming. When I find a technology I like, I'd rather stick with it than learning something new. https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius/Letter_2

This new app is going to be fun to build.

I've recently been extracting some helper methods from different projects into a utils package, and I came up with a Fluent API to combine custom helpers with built-in methods. It was fun to make it fully typed as well :D. https://github.com/noeldemartin/utils#fluent-api

#TIL There is such thing as TypeScript tests (meaning, tests that validate the correctness of your TypeScript definitions). Here are some examples from Vue 3: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/tree/master/test-dts

I just released a new version of Media Kraken with some improvements. If you had your Solid POD on solid community and the application stopped working, this update should fix your data and get you back on track!

Check out the release notes for more details: https://github.com/NoelDeMartin/media-kraken/releases/tag/v0.1.4

"P.S. We're offsetting by 3x every bit of CO2 this creates." Nice!!

It seems like this starting to become a reality! (maybe it already was when I tooted this and I didn't know 😅 )

Here's 3 solutions I've found so far:
- https://remo.co
- https://www.airmeet.com
- https://www.wonder.me

And some people has recommended hubs.mozilla.com, but I'm not sure it has the UX I had in mind.

I started using TailwindCSS a while ago and now I use it everywhere. I was skeptic at first, but it's a perfect pairing with Vue and other component-based frameworks. Now that 2.0 is out it's a great time to give it a chance!

So, Google Photos will stop providing unlimited storage for free.

Who's surprised about this? Nobody, I hope. I actually believe this is better, but I don't like the bait and switch strategy. Whenever I see news about Google Photos, the story of Everpix comes to mind.

I just finished Caleb Porzio's VSCode course. Improving your workflow doesn't happen overnight, I've been introducing small changes for weeks. It's been a transformative experience, I'll never look at my programming environment the same way. Check it out! https://makevscodeawesome.com

It's been more than a year since I started working in the open. Here's an update. https://noeldemartin.com/blog/working-in-the-open-when-no-one-is-looking

So, #vue3 is finally out and looking great! And I'm so happy they skipped the "N" for the naming and went with One Piece! :D Now that sticker on my laptop is even more suitable!

RSS + SRS = RSSRS? I enjoy podcasts and blogs, but sometimes I feel like they go over my head. There's also recency bias. I save my favourite ones thinking I'll go back to them, but I never do. So I've been thinking it'd be nice to build a tool to help with that. Maybe someday.
