Crisis averted.

I finally updated PokéJisho! The Japanese<->English Pokémon dictionary now covers every Pokémon, move, item, ability & nature up through Scarlet & Violet (+ The Teal Mask & The Indigo Disk) and Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A. I also added dark/light mode support. pokejisho.com

I had been struggling with using Claude Code on a legacy Shift JIS code base, and I came up with this MCP server which gives Claude Code tools to work with Shift JIS (CP932). I hope if anyone else is struggling with this they find this and it helps them out. github.com/MichaelCharl...

Claude Code told me, "No." #claude #claudecode

I helped a colleague setup fnm (Fast Node Manager) on their Windows machine, so I threw together a quick guide in English and in Japanese

@ped.ro Do you happen to have any idea what the technology behind the @raycast.com Translate feature is? What API is it using? Google? DeepL? Some kind of LLM?

React v19 is finally stable and has been released! react.dev/blog/2024/12...

I might just be dressing up my bad habits as a productivity hack…

I've been struggling with setting up Outlook and Spark using my custom domain iCloud email for years. Finally figured it out, so I threw together this guide. michaelcharl.es/aubrey/en/co...

I’m convinced this is how every engineer stumbles into a DevOps role

Purple #Macintosh #wallpaper #macos #techsky

If you hate seeing anything at all on your #Mac desktop, the following command will hide all desktop items: defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false && killall Finder && say icons hidden And back again: defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true && killall Finder

This changes everything.

This post by @localghost.dev is wonderful: localghost.dev/blog/everyth.... Also omg Sophie your website is _beautiful_ 🤩

In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back. So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!) More on their architecture: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky

I just realized @robbowen.digital made the SynthWave ‘84 theme. It’s great! Thanks for making my VSCode experience more pleasant

a PSA since a lot of folks have been surprised to learn this: terminal programs often support the mouse! Try: - opening `htop` and clicking a column header to sort - opening `nano` (or vim, or micro) and clicking and dragging to select text - using the scroll wheel in `mc` it often Just Works

The Bluesky firehose visualized in the style of a Windows XP screensaver… I want this as an actual screensaver.

The web needs sustainable funding. If you don’t understand the economics of browsers and what this could mean for the ecosystem go give my latest talk a watch. It’s not just Google/Chrome that will be affected. youtu.be/OzypUma4NW4?...

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies. #bydhttmwdi

AngularJS 1.0 is the new COBOL. There will forever be jobs maintaining these apps, so many of them out in the wild

I hope they play "Hot To Go."

The new official CSS logo uses `rebeccapurple`!

So Bruno is moving to a subscription model for its paid version. The Open Source version is still free, though

So are we all just maintaining accounts on BlueSky, Threads, and Mastodon? Or does it feel like BlueSky is winning out?

Neat! I could update my Blue Sky handle so it’s the same as my domain! That was super simple.

Because apparently I can't type "python" without subconsciously inserting "thong" into it. #python

I wanted an easy reference for where all of the `@tauri-apps/api/path` helper functions mapped to on Mac so I threw this together. What I really want though is to find a way to save files to iCloud using @tauri.app ... haven't found that so far. michaelcharl.es/aubrey/en/co...

I've been trying to build a desktop app using @tauri.app and struggling with implementing SQLite. This article made everything very straightforward dev.to/focuscookie/...
