I've long thought about why the tools we have operate on screenshots, and not the accessibility tree. To me the latter would have seemed like the obvious choice from the beginning (structured data), but yet, here we are with pixels. Ha

>Like most sensible people with a reasonable sense of priorities, I do not carry a ruler with me wherever I go. Let me introduce to you: the IKEA paper tape measure, folded neatly in your wallet.

What kind of project did you "remove all React"? Also, curious whether you ended up with vanilla Web Components, or fast-element/LitElement/others?

They can't be arsed to make consumer friendly software. Edge was amazing for about five minutes before it got enshittified. It took a world wide pandemic and thousands of businesses flocking to Zoom before Teams got okay at calls (neve

It's just fun/sad reading about the concept of "swimmable cities" when you've taken it for granted all your life. Most cities with fjords or channels here, have "harbour baths" - essentially outdoor swimmi

There's nothing regarding Google in the article, but it is specifically mentioned that Apple's back taxes are already in escrow.

Indeed would be interesting. Another one of the downsides of everything running on v8. It just feel it gives people the "wrong" impression, even if it helps (massively) with DX to run TS natively.

I just wish runtimes could take advantage of Typescript, and use type hints in performance improvements. Deno, and bun, currently do not, despite running Typescript "natively".

The phonebook capabilities of pretty much all Google alternatives suck. Google is currently the only search engine that actually works for local queries (i.e. phone repair in <local town>). Alternatives while probably fine in America,

The first rule in any software backed by a server, but especially multiplayer games is, you never trust the client. You could have a perfectly deterministic game where every action is validated on the server, be defeated by running the game

I don't understand why people act like this is a new way of working. Hundreds of ISO certifications require independent audit. Functionally this can be done in many ways, like source code access by human reviewers, or static scanning w

Some of these NN models are quite heavy, and I'd argue, overkill for bounded applications, like "just" segmenting people from a video stream. People have built simplistic naive bayes based models before NN's were popular

Don't most orgs already own Google Workspace, or MS365? I fail to see how MS Forms + Excel, or Google Forms + Sheets can't accomplish this (with the addition of common spreadsheet features). It's not to be snarky, but it feel

Even if I am probably not going to use it (too heavily/deeply invested in Azure Devops), I just wanted to give kudos to your product demo. By itself it's straight to the point, doesn't ramble, and calmly highlights whats impo

It's probably going to be dead/deprecated in a year, so maybe there's a silver lining to how hard it is to get to use the service. I, for one, wouldn't "build with Gemini".
