  4. Has anyone who follows me studied web development at university? Ideally interested in UK, but mostly curious what the courses offer, what kind of thing you learn and how (placement, projects, etc). Looked for web dev at Brighton Uni, but couldn't find it (maybe it's a unit?)

  5. In 2017 notwaldorf spoke at #FFConf on standards, the process & web components (not too disimilar to components today) youtube.com/watch?v=326SIMmRjc8&list=PLXmT1r4krsToZPHKnv-kod6B_4DLqMTR4&index=5 Around 25 mins it was fun to hear the source of the naming of "polyfill", I remember being unsure if she'd twigged I coined the word😄 rem/1846861123917590796

  13. There really are many, many amazing CFPs that have been sent for ffconf this year. I'm working on something to help preserve these and share with other event organisers. Still trying to place the 8th speaker.

  14. Bespo question: anyone have multiple Alexa's setup, one connected to the kid's Spotify account and one/others to the default (my) Spotify account? I can't work out how to do it and I might be all squeezed out of tech juice

  15. Here's a challenge for you - because I've just spent 10 minutes trying and I've given up. Get chatgpt to draw 10 cupcakes (in a single request, not like "draw cupcake" and then hit enter 10 times).

  17. Making a dumb doorbell smart remysharp.com/2024/08/06/making-a-dumb-doorbell-smart A write up of a silly hack that turned out to be _really_ bad then a nice simple solution (ish) in the end.

  18. I made our crappy/cheap remote doorbell, "smart". Details: front-end.social/@rem/112905962977890454 (though build instructions coming in a blog).

  19. Social media tech support: Android phone, the "Phone" app I can't change the volume. It's always full blast, regardless of what I do to the media and call (and other) sliders. Anyone seen this before? (aka: know the fix?)

  22. In lieu of a wooden arcade cabinet, my upgraded PCB (using chips from a Super Game Boy cart) happily (or awkwardly) runs in a cardboard box!

  25. My boy wants to get into music making. No specifically how to plan an instrument, but build a track, understanding adding beats, bass, lead, etc - using midi and software. Any beginner guides you would recommend? (I love music, but we Sharp's aren't entirely musically minded!)

  26. Throwback Thursday prompted by randomly stumbled on some old Left Logic (my business) logos. Here's the site over the last 2 decades (webarchive doesn't have images for the 1st iteration though). FIrst two sites and logics were designed by me (which…explains a lot…)

  28. Annoucing the 5th topic for #ffconf - ffconf.org/articles/2024-speaker-announcement-5/ "Debugging the Mind: A Programmer's Guide to Critical Thinking" Because there's so many trends, so much hype and so many mixed messages on the web, I really wanted to check our ability to think critically.

  29. Have you completed Doom (OG), and if so, how tricky is it (say medium level)? As a kid+teen I always assumed completing games was something other people did. Now I'm trying to revisit some of those games I missed out on (not that I've got time for 2+ hour play sessions!)

  30. I wrote a thing that I originally wrote on LinkedIn. Anyway, remysharp.com/2024/07/12/is-ai-part-and-parcel-of-web-dev "Is AI part and parcel of dev web?" More thinking aloud, but doing it on my personal space.

  32. Yesterday I finally soldered this (a PCB I designed to play Game Boy over HDMI display with a usb joystick…because I wanted to). I didn't work. It immediately started pulling 1 amp (the limit my bench supply was providing). DMG operates (idle) around 20mAh, so this was bad…

  36. Dead chuffed with my vibrate mod for my sensor watch (bottom). Means my gym watch app now has haptic feedback during rest time. Only adds 2.3mm to the thickness 💪⌚

  39. Wonder if anyone wants to take on a challenge/help me. I want to take Basier Square Medium (and regular) freefonts.co/fonts/basier-square-medium - and create a ligature from the letters "FFC" so they show as "ffc" - same spacing, it's literally if those three letters are in a row=>lowercase.

  40. Does anyone know why (and how to fix) Voice Over reading this heading (which is an h2 > span + text) and ignoring the span at the start of the content? It's read aloud eventually, but it starts with "is a day of eight", rather than using the span inside the h2.
