It seems worrisome that front end frameworks needs to be changed after just two years of use. Glad I'm not working with front end...

Or how about a lottery system. You get an email if you win the privilege of buying a tickets. Tickets are named and require ID check, to prevent scalpers. If you are unable to go, your ticket just goes back to the lottery pool.

Sort of like how UK and EU citizens have to pay $21 for an ESTA when traveling to USA? Surprising that the article doesn't mention that.

Maybe we need to unbundle the phone again. Maybe "a widescreen iPod with touch controls; a revolutionary mobile phone; and a breakthrough Internet communications device" isn't what we need in a single device after all...

Yea my first impression when reading the landing page was also that this is exactly a Black Mirror episode: "The Entire History of You": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2089050/

Cool idea with the ethernet gadget. If I understood it right, the RPI acts as a virtual ethernet adapter over USB.

Totally agree. A daily log in a simple text file is super useful for perf review etc., but even just to remind myself that my day wasn't wasted. I use a little script I wrote that, once per hour, opens a full screen always-on-top windo

Use a separate email alias for everything you sign up for. I think Apple has something like this in their "sign in with Apple" product. Or it might be called "Hide My Email". Haven't used it though. Personally I use

I used iPhone 2008-2012, Windows Phone 2012-2015, Android 2015-2022, and then recently bought an iPhone again to see what it's like these days. I was baffled by how unintuitive it has become. So many "secret codes" you need t

Talon was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this news. Would be nice if it could benefit from Whisper. (Big fan of your work on Talon!)

Frugal streaming. For estimating a median or percentile in a stream, using constant memory. It's very simple: if the current value is higher than our estimate, then increase our estimate by one. Else decrease by one. It will converge o

I like Qt too, but when it comes to packaging size, I seem to remember it was a pretty big chunk. 20 or 50 MB or something? I therefore chose wxWidgets over it, for a recent project.
