Strange. I'm on Firefox and it works for me.

I know people at work joining Slack conversations about this and asking how to set up an account and how to buy the stock, while fully admitting they don't know anything about stock and have never bought any before. From their comments

Blu Dot also does something similar, at least on iOS. What I like is it's integrated in the browser, so you don't have to install an app. Just tap a button and point your camera at the spot where you want to see the furniture. It

You can drag the slider. Clicking doesn't seem to work.

I don't normally subscribe or unsubscribe to services and so the NYTimes unsubscribe process really surprised me at the time. In the end, having to go through a chat system wasn't as bad as I thought, but it did annoy me at the ti

Years ago I noticed that when I was hungry and tired, I would notice just how much bad design got in the way of completing a task. Things that I would work around easily when I was well-rested and sated all of a sudden became incredibly fru

It's really beautiful, but I admit that I'm not a fan of the "bite-sized" formatting that's common these days. I found myself scrolling through it to look for some more depth, but the mix of embedded self tweets wit

Thanks for the info about the Joe MacMillan character. I watched a few episodes of the first season and could not get past him. His character just rubbed me the wrong way. I'll give the show another try.

I remember having a lot of fun on Macs in the '90s. We used them in my high school typing class, and I loved the monkey "squeak" sound whenever an error dialog would appear. That was also the time you'd often see the Sta

I loved theming my desktop as a teenager, but now it's definitely not something high on my list of requirements. I think theming is one of those things that have been dropped because the cost vs. benefit just wasn't there. Theming

I’ve mapped it to ctrl for a while now and I’ll never go back either. In vim I use ctrl—[ for Esc, which I only started to do when the MBP added the Touch Bar.

I released a flashcard app for macOS and iOS around Halloween. I'd been working on it on and off on the side for a year as a side project. I'm continuing to work on new features and tweaks, but need to do more work on marketing it

An incredible book indeed. I remember reading it initially out of curiosity to know who this historic figure was and after finishing feeling like my eyes were opened to the reality of the world around us. As a person of color who didn'

I would say from my experience, having worked at a FAANG-like big software company for a long time, it's very easy to work longer hours because of the culture. You see people responding to emails after hours and during weekends, you se

I agree with your theory. For instance, I’ve tried Anki and found it incredibly confusing to use. However, a lot of folks online comment on how it just works for them and how they can’t see how you’d improve upon it. I’m convinced that if y

I can see how the ugly ad could get more clicks. It looks so different from everything else that you're naturally curious to see what it leads to. I will also add that the "professionally designed" ad is kind of busy. It has

It does look really nice. Based on the photos, it does resemble a school, or at the minimum, a library.

State machines are incredibly useful and I use them all the time when I write UI code. There are a couple benefits that come to mind with respect to writing UI. First, it forces you think through all the potential "inputs" on your

I purchased the base model Mini M1 a few weeks ago. I'm using it for development of my macOS/iOS app. So far I am enjoying it. My other machine is a 13" MacBook Pro from earlier this year (intel, the cheapest model) and the M

For what it’s worth, there is an embedded video at the top of the page that I assume is the full clip, but when I clicked it, it just showed a loading spinner. When I scrolled down I was pleasantly surprised to find gifs (that worked) accom

Yes! One of the issues is definitely due to switching on/off Bluetooth headphones during playback. It has actually changed my behavior. I intentionally pause playback now when I turn on headphones.

Spotify on the Mac has given me lots of little issues here and there in the last year. It's incredibly frustrating to have to restart it now and again. I have encountered situations where I hit PLAY and nothing happens, or I hit PLAY a

I'm guessing the build/deploy stage sets that up in the environment, so it's not actually committed in the repo.

I'd like to echo this statement. I found the text was a bit too bold and there wasn't enough whitespace to let the page breathe. I couldn't really get my bearings on what I was looking at. A little bit more tweaking of the de

What's in it for the devs to blow the whistle here? It's not like a matter of public safety.

Is there a general term for this sort of thing? It's like a Simulacra and Simulation kind of thing where over time, representations become symbols, maybe because it's "easier" and a shortcut to communication, and soon we

That's my problem with it as well. You need to have a space set up where you can use it, and you also have to have the VR headset/equipment available to just grab and put on in an instant, otherwise I think it will just languish i

Congrats on your success and making it to 10 years! May I ask how you've promoted the service? I just started my own side project (see my profile) and this is the one aspect that I find challenging. My feedback: I like the site. The vi

It's interesting how quickly the social space changes. I remember when this first came out, and there was Meerkat as well, it felt like a lot of interesting innovations were possible when it came to social media. The space is starting

I'm going to be 43 in a day, and I have definitely noticed less reliance on others for validation or meaning as I grow older. I think it's normal. When you're younger, you're trying to figure out who you are and a big pa
