Oh wow, this is a little embarrassing. I will have to update the post to link to that. I promise I had not seen it when I created this, I did this on my own and came to the same conclusions!

Awesome resource! I wrote a blog post just last week that is very similar in nature to this, but about achieving a specific effect in SVGs: https://daniel.do/article/making-noisy-svgs/

The problem as I see it is that the internet gives businesses the ability to operate globally, but having to be in specific compliance with different laws from every single country (or group like EU) is really challenging and in some cases

I think this post comes from an honest place, but it's a really trite sentiment. And I think this idea that it puts forth that people can separate or partition themselves from their work is wishful thinking. It reminds me of that TV sh

I have written two blog posts that sort touch on this subject. The increase in screen pixel density has had a much larger impact on web design as a discipline than is commonly acknowledged. https://daniel.do/article/mak

The steps to pay with Apple Pay are you have to take out your phone, double click the button on the side, confirm you want to pay, have it scan your face or do a fingerprint scan, then hold the phone waiting for it to confirm "client s

I was last in the US in October and it seems like tap to pay has gone ubiquitous there. I live in Mexico and it's available on maybe 5% of credit card terminals I use

>I don't mean to diminish your negative experience, but it's not universal. I mean, there were enough complaints about the dispute process (both the outcomes and the slow timelines) that Apple forced a policy change around it:

My theory about the Apple Card: Goldman Sachs is not setup to be a direct consumer bank. This caused a lot of problems: * The ease of sign up / approval led to a lot of subprime approvals that might not have gone through with a more es

This was always what annoyed me about people who took this position before the changes. The goalpost was "Reddit is going to topple" - it turns out that the effect of these platforms is so strong that short of them literally going

I don't think this is Apple's plan. It's more that Apple has been developing in house modem technology for years (they bought Intel's modem division in 2019) because they are reliant on Qualcomm for them in iPhones. Once

Amazon has publicly changed course on this issue several times since the beginning of the pandemic. I am going to start linking this comment every time I see something like this on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37

FWIW the 2017 film Tangerine was shot on an iPhone 5S and I rewatched it recently and it at least looked okay to my non professional eyes. And that movie had a lot of night scenes too. I can only imagine how much the situation has improved.

I thought the magic system and world building of that series was so great, but it was so stymied by YA bullshit. The cliffhanger at the end of the first book had my eyes rolling out of my head. I love the Hugo awards, I am almost never disa

I never used 23 and me but I did use Lemonaid Health a few times several years ago and found out that apparently I too was affected by this hack in the form of an email telling me to reset my password - with no other information. Apparently

This is the perfect articulation of something I think about all the time. It is so much easier if you were in it while it was happening. I've been trying to write a blog post about this, and how to address the problem specifically for

That's what I'm going to move to. It's part of the learning process for me. I want to set the image to build when I push to my repository. I also think moving from npm to pnpm and leveraging caching will help. But the dockerf

I mean, I had a development flag where it wasn't serving real ads when I was in development mode and the copy I had installed on my own phone had the IAP active to remove ads. There is no chance I was clicking my own ads. The revenue f

This is an excellent blog post and the conclusion makes me feel sad. Because there are so many apps that I feel that way about. Where I just wish there was a version that was crap free. The amount of work that went into this is awe inspirin

Uh yeah, I'd say even 1 day in jail or prison is too much of a punishment for having TikTok installed on your phone. This is fucking bonkers.

I relate to this so hard. It can be really, really tough building software by yourself. I am planning on launching a much reduced version of something I have been working on soon just to get it out the door so I can iterate on it. Luckily I

I agree this is a pretty terrible look for Apple. And it's annoying as a consumer. I've noticed that these zero days almost always affect macOS and watchOS too. You can see that new versions of both have also dropped today: https
