Imagine creating a game within say 3-6 hours with the above video. Clearly, you will not be able to do it within 2 hours since you'll have to rewind from time to time to keep up. The joy of self paced remote learning eh?

I've always believed that learning programming requires projects not aimlessly learning data structures or Big O run time bla bla. Sure you can learn stuff, but its like learning math at that point. You learned how to add and divide, but nothing of interest to apply them to.

You're here because you can't run your jar.

Typically caused by a dependency that includes cryptographic information that will mark your jar as signed. To fix it you need to include some exclusion rules to remove those files.

The rule can be under uberJar or Jar or whatever does packaging in your gradle build.

uberJar {
  exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF','META-INF/*.DSA' 
}

An Android Application

packagingOptions {
  exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
  exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
  exclude 'META-INF/MSFTSIG.S...

Still seeing websites remove their comments section because the promises of increased engagement can no longer materialize with Twitter and FB. Hard to engage when your comments section is filled with rabid insane idiots. I wouldn't be surprised if dumpster fire comments section turns people off from the website. So engagement is low and moderation is expensive therefore a comments section is not worth it.

If you want to comment on an article, now you'll have to go to another website to see if someone else c...

I used Fastify for serving backend (not static) content to the frontend of this web property and it has good performance. My problem is if I am serving a string (which could change), it shouldn't take 8ms to shunt it to the frontend especially on dev mode.

It wasn't a problem that I cared about too much, but I went to experiment with uWebSockets on serving that same data. 😄, can you believe it, freaking served the same string in 1 ms, so basically 87.5% improvement in latency. That's all I needed to know and...

MMmmmmm, yeah I think I've had lactose intolerance for most of my life, but wasn't aware of it. I was a stoopid kid. Drinking milk or ingesting any kind of dairy leading to loud farts is a sign of lactose intolerance. Eggs and other fiber rich foods sometimes cause farts, but nothing as bad as dairy for me.

I found out about my lactose intolerance in college when I didn't have much money to spend freely (as I have now 😁) so I cut out certain foods including milk which I usually used for cereal. There were ju...

My web properties were slow I guess some network link was flapping somewhere causing packet drops. It was slow for me and sometimes Google crawler, but not for uptime tools that connected from various places in the world. traceroute was flapping between paths. Sometimes more sometimes less hops. Today it is more consistent with less hops. Nothing I can do in this scenario since I don't control the network.

I have released or in the process of releasing 4 products this year. 2 on the civic side, 1 personal and 1 mobile utility. 3 products was the original target, so 4 is above target.

Histakes Game

Hi Stakes Game is the next target product release, which will be interesting as it involves a lot of trigonometry and bits of calculus to figure out how assets will be valued. It's probably a financial mathematician's wet dream just with some fantasy elements to the math. I'm excited about it as it will be my most com...

NoMo FoMo is a Chrome extension, Firefox and Edge some day, to filter out distracting content on Twitter, Facebook and Youtube.

Feels good to finally get this out there. I had the thought in February of this year because of a bullshit Youtuber's video. Just felt so disgusted by his zero calorie video that I wanted to block his channel. Hell I wanted to make sure my browser with never fucking see the guy on any social media. I built the extension to solve that problem only.

Now I feel the problem is rage induc...

To try to fix it is a waste of time, money and effort. Moderating a fountain spout of short form thought is just beyond me.

There's no idea of reputation on the app, so it is a free for all. That's why misinformation thrives on the app.

No stable way to make money. The new CEO is a fuckin' idiot. The man buys the company and has no plan to placate its top paying customers who pulled away their money. I suspect GM, Audi and the other car companies will stay away from the platform entirely since the CEO is a ...

When Athletes can play video games use use what they learned to do something better in their lives,  is that a waste of time? What if they didn't play any video games, would they have figured out that idea and executed it? No, obviously.
