I finally updated PokéJisho! The Japanese<->English Pokémon dictionary now covers every Pokémon, move, item, ability & nature up through Scarlet & Violet (+ The Teal Mask & The Indigo Disk) and Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A. I also added dark/light mode support. pokejisho.com https://pokejisho.com

I had been struggling with using Claude Code on a legacy Shift JIS code base, and I came up with this MCP server which gives Claude Code tools to work with Shift JIS (CP932). I hope if anyone else is struggling with this they find this and it helps them out. https://github.com/MichaelCharles/cp932-tools-mcp-server

Claude Code told me, "No." #claude #claudecode

I helped a colleague setup fnm (Fast Node Manager) on their Windows machine, so I threw together a quick guide in English and in Japanese https://michaelcharl.es/aubrey/en/code/installing-fnm-on-windows-for-powershell-git-bash-and-command-prompt

@ped.ro Do you happen to have any idea what the technology behind the @raycast.com Translate feature is? What API is it using? Google? DeepL? Some kind of LLM?

I've been struggling with setting up Outlook and Spark using my custom domain iCloud email for years. Finally figured it out, so I threw together this guide. https://michaelcharl.es/aubrey/en/code/custom-domain-icloud-email-in-any-email-client

I’m convinced this is how every engineer stumbles into a DevOps role [contains quote post or other embedded content]

If you hate seeing anything at all on your #Mac desktop, the following command will hide all desktop items: defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false && killall Finder && say icons hidden And back again: defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true && killall Finder

This changes everything. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I just realized @robbowen.digital made the SynthWave ‘84 theme. It’s great! Thanks for making my VSCode experience more pleasant

So Bruno is moving to a subscription model for its paid version. The Open Source version is still free, though https://www.usebruno.com/pricing

So are we all just maintaining accounts on BlueSky, Threads, and Mastodon? Or does it feel like BlueSky is winning out?

16 Nov 2024 12:50 +0000

Neat! I could update my Blue Sky handle so it’s the same as my domain! That was super simple.

I wanted an easy reference for where all of the `@tauri-apps/api/path` helper functions mapped to on Mac so I threw this together. What I really want though is to find a way to save files to iCloud using @tauri.app ... haven't found that so far. https://michaelcharl.es/aubrey/en/code/tauri-2-mac-paths

I've been trying to build a desktop app using @tauri.app and struggling with implementing SQLite. This article made everything very straightforward https://dev.to/focuscookie/tauri-20-sqlite-db-react-2aem
