I like to save the best / most interesting links I come across as I browse the web. It can come in handy to pull up a blog post I read a while ago or remember some new sass product or developer tool I wanted to check out. I'm usin

It seems like the ideal approach would be "proving" syntax proposals by implementing them in a preprocessor first and then later trying to standardize the syntax if it gains traction. It sounds like there are technical reasons for

After thinking about this for a while, I think they've been making the right move. However, I'd like to see: - Xcode, Final Cut Pro, and other pro apps with full feature-sets designed specifically for iPad (touch, mouse, and

I've been using GNU Stow (with Git) for the past month to sync some of my dotfiles between two laptops (Mac and Linux). It took 10 minutes to get comfortable with it and it works well for me.

I'm in the process of the same switch. I've liked Standard Notes. It's really nice that it's open source and encrypted. However I ran into some instances of cross-device conflicting edits which were a bit annoying, and O

Looks great. I'd love something like this. I assume it charges over USB-C? Any chance we can get a video of the laptop in-use, and maybe a few shots of it next to other popular laptops? Great design/hardware. Specifically the high

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing! My dream platform: 1. Single binary install on nodes, and easy to join them into a cluster. 2. Resources defined as JSON with comments in a simple format with JSON Schema URLs denoting resource types

I have a Mastodon account. I just tried visiting the local timeline of a different instance, as recommended, and I have to say it was a much more engaging experience than I had had before on my account's instance. Is there any chance f

I should be clear my interest is theoretical. I haven't run into any practical issues with "crates.io" and it's been working great for me. I think the way Go and ES Modules (Deno / browsers) represent module naming

Steve, thanks for all your work on Rust! I'd like to understand more about the arguments for and against a URL-based module naming / resolution approach. Could you point me to any past discussions on this for further reading?

This has me feeling excited for something new and interesting. I'll be watching on Monday.

Off-topic, but I read the title as "Supported on Linux distributions including but not limited to Windows". Microsoft, you know what we want.

I have mixed feelings on urbit. I think it's a really interesting idea, but it's implementation is too obscure and complex. I do, however, sympathize with their goal and appreciate the UI design of this new web app. I struggle to

Good critique. I agree about control flow and memoization. I tend to run into issues every now and then with memoization and hook "dependencies", but I'm getting better at it. I think 1, 2 and 3 aren't really great argum

I really like the idea proposed here of <Spacer /> components. I always thought it was weird to assign a margin to elements of a list to achieve spacing. To maintain proper spacing it's often best to either make the top and

I use Insomnia as well. There's a few Postman features I miss, but I like that it's slightly less heavy, and I like the Insomnia UI a lot better. They've been responsive to my feedback over email, and I think they have the ri

I commented about this in a different thread about the same topic earlier today, but I'll post here as well. I can understand Apple's decision to do this, as there's a lot that can be improved about offline storage on the web

Off topic, but how is this experience using the Surface Pro X as a PWA machine? Does Windows / PWAs work well in tablet form? I was thinking of switching to a similar setup and using it essentially as you describe. Seems like it could

I have mixed feelings about Solid. I really love the ideas behind it, and having Tim Berners-Lee (big name in tech) at the helm is a huge plus. However, I have some trouble with some of the technical choices, like RDF/Turtle. Given tha

My approach to this is pretty simple. For existing systems, don't refactor from one to the other unnecessarily. If you do decide to refractor, do it in small steps, one piece at a time. There are huge advantages to both patterns. For n

Not sure why there's so much negativity in this thread. Thanks for spending the time to improve this. I love that KDE can show notifications from my phone via KDE Connect. It's not without its problems (the design could improve, a

I'm not sure if the pun was intended, but if not, it would've made an excellent joke.

Not to hijack the comments section, but a little while ago I made a small VM for educational purposes in C. Heavily commented ANSI C with example programs and documentation. I figure it might be of interest to others in this thread. https:
