Just in time for the Aussie summer, there's up to AU$300 off some of Dyson's popular purifying fans
Itโs that time of year again when weโre not always sure whether to leave the house dressed for summer or winter. And while this transitional phase can be a nightmare for wardrobe choices, it means that summer is right around the corner, so itโs time to start thinking about how youโll stay cool at home and beat the heat. And letโs not forget that this is an El Niรฑo year, so spring and summer will be drier than usual and potentially hotter, with a higher probability of
React 19.3, the Compiler, and a CVSS 10: What Changed While You Weren't Looking
This week I pulled Create React App out of one project and wrote the plan to pull it out of another. Both were from 2022 and 2023, and both still worked. That is the deceptive part: still working and still being the right way to do it are different things, and between the two, four large changes happened in React that do not announce themselves.None of this is rumour. All four are on the official blog, with dates. 1. The compiler already deletes your useMemoReact Compiler reached 1.0 on Oct
Architectural Breakdown: The Test Looked Redundant. The Ninth Bug Needed It.
# The Test Looked Redundant. The Ninth Bug Needed It.It was 2:47 AM when PagerDuty decided we should all be awake. Production latency hit eleven seconds on a feature that had not been touched in six months. The stack trace pointed at an edge case in order fulfillment, a state transition nobody wrote a test for. Here is the par
Your foldable's inner screen will outlast your next regular phone's display
Foldable phones are expensive, so I get why you would be nervous about breaking their flexible internal screen โ especially after the horror stories that plagued the first-generation models. But as someone who has used folding phones for the past couple of years, I can tell you firsthand that those screens are more durable than you think.
What I Actually Learned Adding Asgardeo Login to a Side Project
I recently added Asgardeo (WSO2's identity platform) to a hotel booking app I've been building. My main reason was to see how a managed identity provider compares to the JWT/OAuth authentication I'd built by hand. I expected to write a short "here's how you add login" post. Instead I found a scope-release gotcha worth understanding, a dependency bug worth filing, and one wrong conclusion I had to walk back before publishing this.The setupThe app already has its own auth: a JWT held in Redux, att
Why a used $25 Kindle beats any Raspberry Pi display you can buy today
If you need a display for a Raspberry Pi project, the obvious solution is to buy a dedicated accessory specifically designed to work with your single-board computer. For many projects, however, a used $25 Kindle can actually be a better choice.

Great News for Go Into The Story fans!
Some exciting changes create new learning opportunities for anyone interested in screenwriting.A week ago, I created quite a stir when I released an eBook: "Spec Script Deals: 1991-2025". Clocking in at 517 pages, the book includes 2,560 individual listings of spec script sales and options over a 35 year period. 96% of the listings include loglines or story summaries which represents a gold mine for screenwriters as a resource for generating story concepts.If that wasn't enough to

Before you give away your old phone, remove these 4 things or regret it later
Giving your old phone to a friend or family member is a great way to get some extra life out of a device you no longer need. But before you hand it over, consider more than deleting your photos and removing a few apps. Your phone may still contain personal information, remain connected to your accounts, or have hardware inside it that you don't want to accidentally

The arithmetic IS the product: building a planner that tells people the truth
Everyone planning their first pub quiz makes the same mistake. They count the questions, multiply by "about a minute", and announce a finish time. Then the night overruns by forty minutes, the kitchen has closed, and half the room left before the results.The error is not in the multiplication. It is that answering a question is the cheapest part of asking one. You read it out. Someone at the back says "what?". You read it again. A table argues. You wait. Then you read the answers out at the end
A random generator that is still on the page with JavaScript off
The standard "generator" page is a heading, a button, and an empty box. Click the button, get a result. It is also, to a crawler, a page with about forty words on it, and those forty words do not include any of the content the page is ostensibly about.We built one of these for pub quiz team names and deliberately inverted it. The page renders every name in the pool as ordinary server-rendered text, grouped and captioned. The interactive part picks six at random from that same pool. The tool is t
