Your [2] note about using website names in emails is an awesome but underrated benefit. I’ve been doing that with hey.com email at the moment. (Using a custom domain, any address that doesn’t have an inbox goes into the “catch all” box. I c

Yep, I’ve since learned that haha. When friends have a tolerance, they might not remember what no tolerance feels like.

Apple still grades their AppleTV boxes by local storage amounts. For 128GB it’s 150$. IMO that sort of weirdness positions it just a little too far from a chromecast/roku/fire stick for the average person wanting to escape their s

Also a Québec resident. I’m a bit of an idiot when it comes to weed so I relied on a friend and a SQDC guy to get me set up with edibles. Turns out 10mg was absolutely not a good starting dose for me. Had a pretty horrible night. (That resu

Haha, I wonder if we’re ever going to see a litigation over a EULA, where the service provider is trying to nullify some duty based on the fact they used AI to write the agreement which swapped Provider and User in a sentence. Great era to

This is always the thing people forget about the state of physical media post-VHS but pre-streaming. You still didn’t own it! You definitely owned a piece of plastic, but one with magic legal powers to grant you a revocable license to watch

Bleh. Race to the bottom continues. I’m surprised there isn’t a price cut Apple TV “stick”. Drop game support, low local storage, no Ethernet port, but leave 4K support. 4K support lets them charge the magic 2-digit HomePod mini price point

I think you’re making some assumptions there. Many consumer devices were reparable to at least some extent till relatively recently. Many phones used to have removable backplates and jellybean-part batteries because it’s cheaper to manufact

Part of me wishes they used the traditional American relative measurement unit: the football field. It’s 0.0319 football fields tall.

Congrats on the big post! Though I do think some of your ideals are worth challenging either because I think you're making an incorrect assumption or holding too close to some particular dogma, it's always good to hear people push

I think GP is talking about how, without the tailwind build step, you ship all of tailwind, which is unquestionably a lot of CSS that you aren't using. Maybe if you use a CDN, so hopefully the user might have a local cache of it from s

The details tag is a mainstay of the "You don't need JS" genre. Every time I see it mentioned in one of these, it's always presented like it's new, unknown, and maybe a bit secretive. "OoOOoOo, bet you would wr

There's tradeoffs with anything. Sending HTML over the wire has benefits you're dismissing like faster response times since responses are cacheable. (The benefit can easily exceed some microseconds, especially if we're measur

To add to this, step 1 would have to be "Normalize minimum wage across the economy". Currently tipped employees have a lower minimum wage, that must equal or exceed the country-wide minimum wage after tips are paid out. Employers

I've loved Victor Mono [0] Italic for this reason for years! I find prose much easier to read with some slight joined-up lettering, which I totally concede is a 100% personal. Worth a look as well though! [0] https://rubjo.g

The thing I'm curious to see is this font feature being used while typing. I feel like the characters kind of "jiggling" behind your cursor as you type is going to be kind of weird, no?

There has to be a vision for the future where 1) LLMs aren’t the down fall of humanity, ushering in the end of all creative output and 2) the panacea that releases us from the chains of all the mundane parts of life, allowing anyone to do a

I conceptualize Typescript as an advanced linter. The teams building the TS spec want Typescript concepts to map closely to the usually much-looser Javascript counterpart if it exists, so you get a weird syntax that makes promises the under

That’s true! But isn’t having that sort of access to your non-Microsoft email account a second order effect of the change to a OWA? A lot of users are being shown the “new outlook!” toggle and are trained to just assume updated = safer. The

Similar boat. Late 20s. I’ve missed out on so many opportunities due to my inability to focus and organize, and decades of being told “have you tried trying harder” left me with an anxiety that was stopping me from pursuing a medical soluti

I don't know how painful it would be, but I think I could adapt to a short delay of maybe 50-100ms where the shell won't respond to Return presses, only after accepting a completion. Just long enough ideally to make me re-read wha

Does anyone else feel a little weirded out by the "productization" of developer tools lately? I feel like I'm watching an ad. Maybe I'm just lame, but the "fresh product launch" energy just feels off for someth

I didn’t downvote but 5) we’re talking about pans, not diet. I am well aware that eggs aren’t health food and it comes off as condescending.
