I’ve come across Primary Constructors, a powerful new feature that simplifies how we define and initialize classes. This feature enables us to declare constructor parameters directly within the class definition, streamlining code and reducing boilerplate

Happy New Year! I hope that 2025 will bring you much inspiration, many adventures and discoveries, and of course, health and success. For all of us, I wish peace and stability. As far as inspiration and new discoveries go, I would like to contribute by offering new perfume classes. Those of you who have already taken several of my courses will find that our new offer builds up on that …

Traditionally, we could only apply regular expression flags such as i (for ignoring case) to all of a regular expression. The ECMAScript feature “Regular Expression Pattern Modifiers” (by Ron Buckton) enables us to apply them to only part of a regular expression. In this blog post we examine how they work and what their use cases are. Regular expression pattern modifiers attributes reached stage 4 in October 2024 and will …

The above image represents the sum total of the progress I made yesterday. It sure doesn’t look like much. It is a grid system for an upcoming widget feature I am working on for Widgetsmith. I’m almost embarrassed to post it as the collective effort for an entire day’s professional work, but that is ultimately the point of this post. I always find coming back from the Christmas break (or …

I've been vaguely aware of the Atelier series since the PS2 era, though they've been around a while longer than that, but this is the first one of them I've actually played (well, I did play the spin-off Mana Khemia on PSP many years ago, but they're different enough that I can call this the first). With that in mind, I don't know all of the dfetails, but I think …

Did you know that, by default, your Mac search queries entered into Spotlight, Safari, Siri, Lookup, and #images, are sent to Apple? While this information is anonymized so as not to be identifying, and Apple says it’s used to improve search results, many Mac users may not want this search information being shared with Apple ...

These case studies reveal how you understand problems, your creative process, how you make a decision, how you design the UI, and, ultimately, the impact of your work on users and company results. A strong UX portfolio can open …

I grew up with parents that owned their own struggling small business. Throughout my childhood, we had pretty much zero healthcare until I got to college. I went to the same doctor from birth to high school but only saw him once every 2-3 years when I was super sick and I remember my dad always paid the guy in cash. My relationship with dentists is even stranger. My first …

Not something I expected to be saying today, but The Verge have made a 15min deep dive video into my blog post from the summer about modern walkmans being bulky. They’ve gone out and interviewed modern manufacturers to find out what’s going on, and it’s pretty interesting! Link here, and my original post here.

The first post of every year consists of reflection about last year. This time is about the 2024 year.

First, don’t sleep on such a book when it first comes out; I missed the hardcover edition …

There’s a stream that runs by the office where I work. The Winterbourne, its name a clue. It runs high and fast when the South Downs saturate and the chalk aquifers deep inside overflow. It’s an indicator of conditions on the Downs and it helps me decide my cycle commute. The office is in Lewes, East Sussex, and I live in Brighton. As the crow flies, or the busy roads …
