Software for life on the go.
The future, it seems, is here, and I m wasting it making vibe-coded video games. Shown above: Jason s Game of Life (aka Land Grab Simulator). Check out the demo, or, if you re brave, the 100% Claude-authored code. The proof-of-concept game was vibe-coded in a handful of hours with incredible ease. The experience was so simple that Continue reading Vibe Coding with Claude
People are generally prescribing something like this to configure maxFormContentSize for jetty in the jetty.xml: In my experience, in 2024 with a recent version of jetty (9.4.53), this isn t working inside apache s karaf or in embedded mode within maven, and may not be working in other containers as well. Fix #1: set the jetty server Continue reading Jetty maxFormContentSizeJetty not working? Here…
It seems that a lot of people don t understand the purpose of flattening the curve with quarantine. I ve made a crude simulator that demonstrates hospital resource exhaustion if the number of cases continues to grow at the current rate (25% per day as of March 22, 2020).

I ve recently dived into collecting vintage computing hardware. Vintage software is somewhat hard to find these days, especially old boot disks and OS installation CDs. I found the following resources while reviving an old IBM Aptiva 2134 Pentium-era machine: WinWorld is a repository of vintage operating systems and software. They have DOS installation disks, Win Continue reading Vintage Computer…
I recently purchase and Aptiva 2134 from a vintage computer collector on Facebook Marketplace in an effort to fully immerse myself in Windows 9x nostalgia while writing a book. The 2134 is a Windows 95 era machine produced in 1996 that sports a 120mhz Pentium processor, 96MB of ram, three ISA slots, an on-board graphics Continue reading Collecting Vintage Computer Hardware In 2020
In Wicket 7.12.0, adding a DebugBar to your page will result in an empty / useless debug bar if you don t add a DebugBarInitializer to your app. Hopefully this will be documented by the wicket project in the future, but it isn t right now. Add the DebugBarInitializer to your wicket Application class like so: public Continue reading Wicket 7 Debug Bar Empty? Add a DebugBarInitializer to your app.
Java s HashMap (AbstractMap really) hashCode() implementation sums the hash codes of its entries rather than multiplies them by a prime number like String.hashCode() does. This can cause weird collisions in very similar maps. Example: Map String, String mapOne = new HashMap >(); mapOne.put("first", "valueB"); mapOne.put("second", "valueB"); Map String, String mapTwo = new HashMap >();…
Haven t posted in a while, mostly because my life has been a complete fucking wreck for the past year or so. Anyway. I fixed the trash bird with a chrome extension. Question: How?? Answer: Video of it in action: Go download it: https://github.com/codercowboy/trashbirdfix Oh. I also wrote a book about the disastrous past year.
Standard Disclaimer: My favorite band ever is The Smashing Pumpkins, or possibly Nine Inch Nails. In recent years my favorite genres of music have been EDM and Post Rock. If it s dark, and/or mopey, I probably love it. If it starts off slow and sad and crescendos with catharsis 9 minutes later, I probably love Continue reading Music to Code By 2015, or, how I learned to love the Dire Straits
