I’m rebuilding a 1980 Suzuki GS850 with my son and I have never known shit about electrical. But I’m determined to learn and I’m already learning so much. It’s a great project. Reminds me a lot of coding

A couple of years ago, I paid $99 for Nova, a Mac only IDE. I didn’t give it much time tbh, but I’m thinking about giving it another shot. It’s made by Panic, and it’d be cool to support them. nova.app

The beautiful, fast, flexible, native Mac code editor from Panic.

We just updated Orbiter's custom domain infra to be decidedly faster and more resilient. Our original setup used a traditional NGINX reverse proxy. Now, we're using Cloudflare proxies. This gives us the full benefit of Cloudflare's CDN as well as bot and DDOS protection without manual configuration

In addition to having the simplest static site/SPA hosting out there, Orbiter also supports serverless functions. We tried to maintain the simplicity when we designed this backend functionality. orbiter.host/functions

Last year, I read a lot of books on the history of PC and console gaming. It made me start thinking about assembly more than I ever had. Just came across this interactive tutorial and will be diving into during my free time on my vacation. shikaan.github.io/assembly/x86...

People should take all their old Intel Macs that will no longer be supported by the upcoming versions of macOS and turn them into Linux machines rather than dump them. tedium.co/2025/06/09/a...
One Year Left: Apple’s Long Goodbye For Intel Macs
After two decades, Apple has announced its final version of MacOS for Intel. Guess that means Hackintoshing is done, too.

Paul Graham has some really good essays, but its essays like this that make him sound elitist and out of touch. You know why you should write? Because you want to. Simple as that.

The general point of this article is really good. Educators need to personally leverage AI themselves to build learning tools for their students. Use, don’t run from, AI. resobscura.substack.com/p/ai-makes-t...

I’ve felt this way a lot. Next.js especially makes me feel this way. I will still use React quite a bit, but I’ve decided I’m done jumping through the constantly changing bits of Next and would prefer the simplicity of an old client-server relationship.
