Next, fire up the React app, made in Vite, in development mode, also with a json-server loading the songs table JSON. Copy/paste new song into form in the app.

Possibly of interest to those developers among you, here is today's workflow for updating a new song in my choir app. End-to-end 20 mins or less. Start by texting the song to myself from PDF supplied. It works from a photocopy too, using scan text OCR in Mac Notes. >> THREAD

Think I'm gonna hang here a while longer this time. X's engagement is still good but my tweets are protected so I can't ask questions over there of super interesting looking coders like @notwoods. Still, would be nice even to just follow them... :blobfoxcomputer:

Just back after an extended safari, but, looking for a friend, is there a cheat sheet on how to follow users from other servers? Getting this a lot.

@DenOfEarth @manu @pluralistic I heard a story once about a British expat living in the Caribbean. He had arranged for his club in London to phone him with a morning alarm call. A friend heard of this arrangement and asked him, "Isn't that rather expensive?". "Oh, I never pick up the phone" was his answer.

@angst_ridden We are requiring testing for Xmas - a small gathering of just three in-laws, plus us two. Inlaws include an 89-year-old and a 92-year-old. I'm dreading having to give them instructions again. They really dislike my "rules" for gathering. I don't back down though. I'd rather be the "overboard" (their thinking) bad guy, than the one that offed them. What they do in their own time, at this point, if they off themselves, it's on them. Do I sound snippy? Yes I am snippy about this. :(

The family tradition of Covid testing en-route just resulted in 36% of the guests for tonight’s Thanksgiving turning around and going home. None are symptomatic. The tests likely saved the lives of the nonagenarians attending. #CovidIsNotOver #covid #thanksgiving

So our unelected head of state has just given a position in Britain's unelected House of Lords to an unelected foreign secretary, on the recommendation of an unelected prime minister.

Thank goodness we took back control from unelected bureaucrats.

So Moore’s Law works in low orbit too. We live in fascinating times.

“… while in self-driving mode, using LED screens on the rear windshield to display messages to following cars, and even indicating that its occupant is literally sleeping behind the wheel.”

Surely better to wake driver up than tell everyone behind they’ve nodded off? A true Father Ted moment in automotive design.

Someone on Mastodon, and I'm fairly sure it was on Wandering Shop, recommended some gloves that really really help with the pain/coldness of Raynaud's disease and similar issues. I thought I had it bookmarked or that I'd bookmarked the link to get the gloves, but can't find it.

Anyone recognise this description and can point me to the right place? Or have similar recs?

It was a while ago, but maybe someone will remember...
