Meetup.com has lost their minds, didn't they? 10 USD a month to see who will be attending events, and to get a Meetup Plus badge.

This is just to attend, not to organise anthing. 🤪
In a world where most meetups are dead.

What do you use for buying ebooks? I am looking for a website that sends you a download link I can forward to my Kindle.
I am using boekenwereld.com for Dutch books, and it's great. I'd like an English book so every now and then too ;-)

Seeing “Today’s puzzle games” in the top right corner of LinkedIn feels like a throwback to the Farmville days on Facebook.

I wrote a new article, and published a new package: “Pure CSS Mixin for Displaying Values of Custom Properties”

https://kizu.dev/preview-mixin/

Do you write #CSS? Do you use custom properties with calculations? Do you want to preview their values while you’re debugging them? What if you could do so by setting just one additional custom property? Without any JS? In this article, I present a native CSS mixin that will output various values as pseudo-elements.

Since Claude is now integrated into GitHub co-pilot, has it gotten better? Is it just as good now as Cursor?
