I agree that iOS Safari's popularity is the only thing currently keeping the web an open market. But I'm not too concerned that this move will break that situation. Most iPhone users just use the stock browser and don't know

On the Internet, a new or rare term can suddenly start spreading like wildfire if it (a) is applicable to the topic everyone is suddenly talking about, and (b) perfectly captures something that people already recognise. It’s just life. It d

Not OP but self hosting isn’t all or nothing. I self host a few things but wouldn’t currently switch from GitHub because: it’s pretty cheap, it works well, its popularity adds some useful network effects, and Actions is a nice CI solution f

That is a fair point. I just am not sure his recent behaviour actually suggests he’s got a short attention span. I suspect he’s wanted to take over Twitter for a long time and is now rushing to carry out changes that he’s long planned. He m

By “in public discourse” you meant specifically within the direct replies to Musk’s own tweets?

Huh? I have seen the opposite, a huge outpouring of vitriol towards him on every platform I’ve seen.

Yeah he’s only seen like a handful of new space rocket designs through from conception to profitability, and he only created one major car company before moving onto other things. He can never stick to anything.

I bought a Remarkable 2 - the UI design wasn’t there for me yet and I only persisted with it for a few days, but I am a big believer in the product category and would certainly give the next one a try. However, I think it will be forever ni

If you know and like Rails and ActiveRecord especially, then one possibility, which I intend to try on my next thing, is to build an API-only Rails app (JSON only; no HTML views) and a separate Next.js app that uses the Rails app as its bac

Rails also has a whole model/database thing going on. Next.js is just front end focused and has always left it up to the user to decide about data persistence. So to answer the original question, an equivalent would be Next+Database, a

Yes but do cables contribute a significant amount of waste in general, worthy of being specifically regulated? I actually don’t know either way, so it would be nice to see some data.

Interesting about the springs, I didn’t know that. In practice though, the opposite to everything you say seems to be true based on using many (many) of both connectors over the years. I’ve had a couple of disasters with USB-C ports breakin

Your case sounds a bit extreme (perhaps it has an element of nocebo through overthinking it?), but I do share this problem to an extent. If you like ambient music, I love Brian Eno’s ‘Reflection’ album and use it for a similar purpose as no
