Another cool approach for this is using sqlite and http RANGE requests to make queries phiresky.github.io/blog/2021/ho...

I’ve taken to vibe coding little apps for my kids and hosting them at kids.samwho.dev. They love it. They’re all PWAs so they can look like apps on your home screen if you want. My eldest has loved self-scan at Tesco recently so I made a lil’ barcode scanner app for him 😁

Finally published another visual article after a long time. 🔗 visualrambling.space/distance-fie... This one is about distance fields, one of the most interesting topics I explored recently. made with #threejs and #animejs

I rely heavily on dictation and have used most of the dictation apps out there... Avette has been dope in my first hour of trying it. The realtime output is much nicer than what I've seen in Handy, SuperWhisper, VoiceInk or Hex. Fully local and free to try out. Not sponsored, just enamoured.

Yessss follow @owenlacey.dev if you don’t already! He’s making super cool stuff.

Today is the first day since August that I’ve woken up without a sore throat. I dunno what I’ve had but holy shit it’s been annoying. Still not 100% but hopefully this is me trending the right direction.

I can’t be the only one that tries to guess what the 6-digit 2FA code will be to see if I’d have been able to hack in.

Yeah come see me talk about quantization in about 2.5 hours!

Real talk, any of you for-real using one of the 99999 tsc ports? Am I the last guy using vanilla tsc?

I’m speaking at this! My talk is “Fearless Quantization” and I’m very excited to hear what folks think of it 😁

I’ve wanted to do this for so long.

Added season colouring. Just ‘cause.

If I see a cookie banner on a personal website I just close the page. What are we doing, man.

Have you been making websites for years? How are you feeling about the current state of things?

No single revolution made this incredible achievement happen. Just decades of advances in medicine, sanitation, nutrition and public health. via @beautifulnews.bsky.social

A friend said to me after seeing my recent social media posts: “Unemployment suits you.” I agree. Anyway, new hero for my memory allocation post. You can have a play at staging.samwho.dev/memory-alloc... if you want.

JPEG XL has arrived on the web, but how does it stack up against AVIF? jakearchibald.com/2026/jpeg-xl...

You may not have noticed on my site that you can pet the dogs. In the redesign I’ve given that interaction a glow up.

Had a flexible nasendoscopy today (camera up the nose and into the throat) because I’ve had a sore throat since August. Lemme tell ya, you do not want a flexible nasendoscopy. When it was done he was like “you did that without anaesthesia, well done!” I could have had anaesthesia?!

In the process of making this new hero for my load balancing post I learned that Americans call this “Plinko.”

Recently installed a 4G backup SIM on my home network for when the actual broadband line is down and I can’t believe I didn’t do this years ago.

Anna Maxwell Martin is a national treasure. Everything she’s in, she’s killing it.

A lil’ fun with a pitch slider. Sound on.

Huh, TIL.
