@alex I ended up writing a bash script that copied a template directory into a folder I define with an argument. I'm sure there are more elegant ways...but this also works :-)

Hey web developer friends...

I'm exploring the world of simple build scripts or tools. For example, I'm making a lot of slides these days using Reveal JS. Instead of cloning the repo over and over, I'd like to be able to spin up a template project using the terminal. What's an easy way to do this? I have no idea about where to even look.

@lauraritchie @dogtrax the dealt kind looks like baby's breath, not like a pine tree.

Fun fact: hemlock needles are so insulating, they can help you survive on the woods if you're lost at night by acting as a blanket. Stuff your pants and shirt.

@lauraritchie they just started airing in the US. We watched the tart episode last night.

@brandon @zigg I'm not sure how they decided. Higher processing power, for sure. I know they were also tareting touchscreen/crossover models first, too.

@brandon @zigg only certain models

@DistroJunkie @prassee Keyword filters are your best bet.

Ok, thoughts on service workers for web apps? I'm building a registration site for our school district's PD, it would be opt in and show you notifications about new PD added or if a scheduled event is coming in the next day.

Finish one function, introduce 6 new bugs and a broken dependency.

It's 7AM and my kids aren't up yet what do I do?

@prassee Isn't Java proprietary? I think Oracle owns the copyright on the language, so it can't be modified.

(This is from a very non-technical person, btw. Going on context clues from what I know from others.)

Time to build out native streams for stations that aren't local.

Oh /MAN/ I'm pumped.

I finally got Google Music streaming through my Raspberry Pi using Pi Musicbox. The device ID needed to be set to an Android device (because Google is insane). Now I can plug the pi into my home stereo and control it through a webapp on my phone.

This is sick.

@webmind has twidere improved Mastodon display? Using tusky right now because twidere was lacking a little.

I might turn off my internet for the rest of the summer. I need a break from interneting.
