bump-ladel | 4 years ago | on: Things I would like to 3D print
This is not applicable to all projects, but if there is some thing you want to print and you don’t have a printer, consider if it could be made from wood.
The tools can be more accessible than a 3D printer, can take up less room, and you get a skill that you get satisfaction from.

I wrote an app that aimed to simulate vision impairments, including types of colour blindness.
The idea is that the designer or developer can point their iPhone/iPad at design to get some idea of what it might be like for someone else to view it.

This is beautiful. I think that the success of games like Transport Tycoon is in large part down to an undefined satisfaction that comes from the graphic style.

A couple of weeks ago, I marked the (no)progress bar on a macOS update with a piece of surgical tape.

Lua feels like it could fit the bill as an easy to get into, but modern language. See the great demos folks make with the Pico-8 fantasy console https://twitter.com/hashtag/tweetcart

I didn't know cleanup existed, so never ran it until now.

Once the idea of alien UFOs became widespread, the number of reported cases rose. Once everybody has the idea that drones may be flying around airports, will people start misidentifying and reporting other phenomena as drones (causing chaos)?

Related: If you have a Mac, you can check the health of an iPhone battery via the Console app when the phone is connected via USB. Search for the string "BatteryHealth", logged by the phone's Springboard process.

I think there is a big difference between the popularity of games in Europe and the US. I grew up with a C64 in the UK, and a lot of these games were considered classics here 85-90ish.

Not exactly what you want, but macOS users can use the brilliant Monodraw to create ASCII images.
bump-ladel | 8 years ago | on: Show HN: NBox – Sign up anywhere without giving your email address
I do the same, except I also add some diceware words, to make the address harder to guess, and so I can update to a new address on leak.
I sore it in a password manager, so remembering the address is no problem.

There is also Retrospecs, an iOS app, that can simulate many retro computing looks. It's a lot of fun.
