Not so long ago, YouTube decided that it is a very smart idea to not let videos on a specific channel be sorted by date from old to new, because everyone should consume only fresh content, and the author's old works are not so important. Thus, YouTube will once again proves the fears about what this platform is turning into. But despite this, there are a lot of creators on YouTube who enthusiastically talk about the things they are a part of, share information and even teach. So sometimes it is very important for me to have access to the channel videos in chronological order. Unfortunately, there are no solutions on YouTube itself anymore, so I had to figure out some by myself.
I am using Python at work a lot. Mostly to automate routines. So I did some experiment and I got it out of control a bit. So now this is a finished solution... kind of.
So check this article if you want to know more and try it yourself.
UPD: So YouTube put "Oldest" button back. What do you know about time wasting?

For the past few years, I have been actively engaged in CAD modeling. Both parametric and algorithmic. I am so used to usage of constraints that even the thought that in the vector editor I will have to deal with guides, grids and edges binding only, causes me complete frustration. When I started to analyze whether there are programs or tools for doing vector graphics with using of constraints, I was disappointed, because there are no programs that can do this out of the box. But at the same time, I saw that I am not alone in this question.
But solution exists. It is still a combination of two programs: "Blender" and "Inkscape". Both of these programs are open source, flexible and have a large community of enthusiasts, which makes it possible to adjust and modify them for different needs and tasks. So I can say that workflow is pretty convenient.
I am going to show you general workflow on the example of building a simple icon. Video and description complete each other. Please open the video and read this article to figure out what I am doing.
When I need leather for craft purposes searching for proper type comes out in-to whole adventure. There are so many types of leather. Some types were defined historically, some were invented over time. It is painful to understand this, and the search here is not even by touch, because... you can't touch retouched photos or controversial description. As a result - complete random even where I expected something specific.
So, in this article I will collect the terminology of leather as a material for crafting.
To make digital analog of some natural process you need to keep key points on this process unchanged or as close to reference as possible. Art is a good example of previously totally natural process that took new branch in digital world. I am not an artist but I really obsessed with idea of getting most natural-like digital drawing experience. And as an example I am going to use "Wacom Intuos Pro L". In this topic I want to share with you with my observations, tips, and trick.
All articles on my site is just a extensionless UTF-8 files with plain text that defines content and "Jinja" macros tags that defines templating of this content. It helps me to avoid usage of the messy databases, using file system instead to create, keep and edit information. Text, Images and related files of particular article storing in the same article folder and in the same time folder with articles folders also separated from the main site sources. Yes, I know that this solution may look weird but it helps me to keep this portal as simple to manage as possible: on lightweight handmade CMS, without admin section, without WYSIWYG tools... on one small flash drive.
And just because all this is literally just a text file, I can edit it in most simple text editing tools... like SublimeText3 which I'm using right now.
The biggest problem of this solution that once plain text and "Jinja" tags are mixing up all this soup becomes pretty hard to read. Sure, there are special "Jinga" syntax linter existing but it helps to determine where text and where "Jinga" macros tag is, but it's not helping to determine which particular "Jinja" macros tag it is: paragraph, image, link... etc. and for formating of the article on the go it's highly important. After small research I found out how to create custom syntax that will adjust whole work space for specific needs of this syntax. In this topic I am going to show you most simple and minimalistic case that can be imagined. Also it will be completely independent from all other settings.

Nintendo Switch is an amazing console in terms of user experience. I bought a light version during a business trip to the Netherlands to pass the time at the hotel. Honestly this console has a huge drawback - it feels very fragile. Not flimsy - build quality is very good actually, namely fragile. When playing simple games like "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening", you don’t really think about it, but in the case of more serious and hardcore games, fearing to break the console becomes a big limiter. It’s not that I am a thug who don't know his own strength... quite the opposite, I’m used to be very careful with things and gadgets, but let's be honest, endless alerts about analogs drifting of both the older model and the younger brother are proof Nintendo Switch parts are subject of rapid wearing.
I already wrote an
article about how to connect DualShock 4 on PC because I really think that DualShock controllers are the most comfortable and durable controllers on the market at all times. So this time I decided to look for whether there is an option to connect DualShock 4 to the Nintendo Switch. And yes - there is a way to do this. A company called
8BitDo has created a universal dongle adapter that allows you to connect DualShock 4 to the Nintendo Switch by emulating of wired connection protocols of Nintendo Pro Controller. So I ordered one and in this article I will describe connection process.
