Genuine question, what happened to Apple TV to make it a complete disaster? I feel like I probably missed something. (There's no good way to ask that without sounding like a fanboy, sorry haha. I just genuinely don't know.)

On the LLM idea, if you could group reports by issue (by parsing the user provided input and whatever context you save from the page screenshot into some embedding) and then only escalate things when several different IPs have reported a si

I love the UI concept. Being able to point at a broken thing rather than try to uniquely describe the position/state/path to a broken thing is smart! Hooooever, "bug" could be a bit ambiguous to a lot of people. Looks li

Here's the license text: https://www.modular.com/legal/community There isn't actually much detail. It seems a lot of restrictions lead to "contact us".

I do think other tech gets unfairly bound up with jquery in these sorts of posts. It makes it feel more like nostalgia than a real recommendation. Jquery isn’t going to make anything easier today. It’s definitely contemporary with this age

I mean, the phrase isn't "Don't reinvent A wheel". I do feel like it's good advice as-is! To me, "reinvent" implies starting from nothing (inventing), again: If you can learn from why THE wheel is the way

I do sort of miss bower [0] for this reason. It was really just a way to download javascript and plunk it into your application. It was standard practice to check all of your vendor dependencies into SCM. [1] Of course a good chunk of it wa

I think that would be really neat for small scale web publishing, but making it a subset of browser standards could be a really difficult sell to the people making browsers. While it's easier to build a browser to a subset of such a ma

I really like Ruby, I do sort of wish it could focus on it's own identity a bit. Some new features feel almost prescribed from other languages? Like, RBS and Namespaces specifically... they don't really fit the model of Ruby exact

Use whatever you feel most effective in. I would say Ruby is around much more than you might expect by the sounds of it. (The usual big names touted on the Rails homepage + many start ups + agency products) though it's definitely over

So one interesting thing I find myself doing if I'm not taking my ADHD meds on a given day, is day dreaming way more. I tend to lose focus and run around in my own mind even if I'm doing something that's __supposed__ to be st

Some sort of escape room backbone software that links together all of the hardware according to a script is such a neat idea. It would be so cool to have something like Twine [0] to build out the story graphically, where input/output i

That sort of makes me wonder if the best form of censoring would be solid black shape, THEN passing it through some diffusion image generation step to infill the black square. It will be obvious that it's fake, but it'll make dete

I really like big deskpads. The bigger the better. Having a big calendar/grid paper sheet right under your keyboard makes it so much more likely for me to pre-plan things because I can sketch faster than I can type. Here's an idea

Another example of this sort of interface is office phones. When someone knows their phone well, they can speed through a hold, page to another desk, then transer to them, without even looking at the keypad. I have a feeling that sort of &q

It might have changed since I last had to deal with this (I hope!) but excel, at least ~5 years ago, was storing cell contents as they appear in the function box in the UI. As in, `1,23` is 1 and 23/100 when read in fr-CA, and this wou

Probably MM/DD (2 Jan) vs DD/MM (1 Feb) since Excel uses it's current locale for parsing. (=SUM in en-US, =SOMME in fr-CA for example... making any SaaS app in Canada that exports xlsx files is always rough.)
