I saw someone recommend a site called "The Storygraph" recently - haven't tried it yet, but it seems like an interesting alternative to Goodreads.

In particular the "moods" feature caught my eye.


I had no idea that was an option, thanks for the tip!


> As soon as I try to add more detail the previously imagined details dissapear and I have to circle back and reimagine them. Like having a very limited amount of draw calls every frame.

This matches my experience - I think of it a bit like a really slow CRT, the phosphorescence fading before the image can be composed.


I was amazed to discover, a few months ago, that iPeng is still under active development!

I went to set the alarm on my Squeezebox Boom one night and the time picker widget was completely broken. By the next week they'd pushed out an update to fix it.

That kind of dedication in a developer is fantastic to see.


You can play Island of Dr Brain on archive.org! https://archive.org/details/msdos_Island_of_Dr._Brain_1992

They have Lost Mind as well, but not emulated because it's a Windows game. I wouldn't be surprised if it still runs, though.


Wine is suprising me more and more with running these early windows games.


If you can find the .ipa, you can sideload them, no developer account or anything needed.

The downsides are that you can only have 3 sideloaded apps at a time, and you have to reinstall them every 7 days.

https://sideloadly.io/ automates the process and can automatically reinstall them for you - I use it to keep the Pebble app installed and my watch synced.


That honestly seems almost worse than just not letting you do it. Astonishing that people put up with Apple.


Systemd has a mechanism[0] for configuring those limits.

I believe you can limit a unit to 1 vCPU and 256MB of memory by using something like the following:

[Service]

CPUQuota=100% # 100% of a core

MemoryLimit=256MB

Red Hat has some documentation[1] as well if the systemd stuff is too oblique.

Small correction for the author:

> Copper stays copper, unless there are one or two electron heads in any cardinal direction, in which case it becomes an electron head

should be

> Copper stays copper, unless there are one or two electron heads in any neighboring cell, in which case it becomes an electron head

I spent ages trying to figure out how the generators were working in their example before I looked up the rules elsewhere.


Thank you! I updated the post!


Same here - it's a shame because I'm happy to continue supporting the developer, but I won't pay for a functional downgrade.


Have you tried devdocs?


No, not for any length of time. I prefer having a desktop app, and Dash 4 still works for me, so I have not had a reason to switch... yet.


You make a good point - there are loads of third-party magnetic charging cables out there, but I never saw the point when I have a wireless charger.

I might have to give the cables a try next time I replace my battery, see how it affects longevity.
