   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• Building the flagship (2): a live DataGrid that queries Postgres on every keystroke

  Nothing you write. The grid's controls are the same data-flv-* conventions from part 3: the search box is a data-flv-change input that sends {"q": ""}, a filter pill is a data-flv-click with a data-flv-value-estado, a sortable header sends {"sort": "cargo"}. The framework serializes those into the socket message; your loop reads them from frame.payload. The diff engine sends only the s that changed. Keyed diffing... - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

• How to find a device by its MAC address

  You can collect all of that by hand, or let a scanner do it in one pass. DeviceShelf resolves vendor, hostname, services and open ports for every device on the network and turns them into an actual identification; the same IEEE data behind our lookup page ships inside the app. For the full detective story, see the guide on identifying an unknown device. - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago

• 🍣 Sushi RS: SVG Sushi Components for Rust Frontends.

  So I came across the Frontend Challenge: Comfort Food Edition on dev.to, and I thought: "Hey, what if I build a Rust crate that lets you render SVG sushi directly in your WASM frontend? How hard can it be?". - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago

• VA announcements

  Take a semi-decent photo of yourself and (either you or someone you know who knows how) run it through something like Midjourney or another Generative AI platform and have them make some slight changes. Or run an image of yourself that you have through an online platform like befunky.com and run an artistic filter on it, making it either illustrative or more abstract. Source: about 3 years ago

• I was so happy to see that this "Angel Lichfield" rose by David Austin bloomed recently in my backyard garden.

  I use picmonkey.com and befunky.com to create an artistic effect from the original photo that I took with my Canon Powershot camera. I call it digital photoart. Source: almost 4 years ago

• What camera should I use to get this somewhat older and grainy type of look???

  I did a quick google search and found befunky.com - never used them before so I'm not endorsing them or anything. But if you use their photo editor, go into the effects tab and then go to cinematic, the first option under cinematic is 'film grain'. Thats what you are looking for. Source: about 4 years ago

• [Task] Curate some product images from Search engines

  I will give you 10 products per day. You will send me 10 images finished images which consists of, 4 large images, and 6 collages. For collages you can use befunky.com. You do not need photoshop experience or any real art experience. All the images you just click download. Source: over 4 years ago

• Im new to making vids and looking for things to improve. Please let me know at least 1 thing you would change about this. Giving Lambda for honest feedback :))

  No problem, we are all here to support each other and I sincerely liked your work. I actually use online editing websites such as befunky.com because it's more practical and requires less technical work but if you're serious, you can learn some tricks on Adobe Photoshop which would be the more professional approach.
