Similar experience here. I have a Series 4, and charge it on an evening when I'm not doing much for about 30/40 mins and it's good for another 24 hours. The new sleep tracking feature asks for 30% battery life before being en

Well yes, to your knowledge Rosenstein... Asana really isn’t that great. It offers no framework and very little structure in which to organise tasks. I’ve worked at two companies that used Asana and it was a major source of frustration at

Typescript - defining interfaces before doing any work is like visual planning. Adding it to old projects highlights a lot of unknown issues. VSCode - right click a keyword > go to definition made me more comfortable navigating code writ

“They use Chromium and JavaScript for the Dragon 2 flight interface.“ This is the most interesting part for me being a web dev! How likely do you think this is?

If I understand correctly you can still do that, just the underlying component will be adding/removing a CSS class instead of injecting the actual styles. I usually use the classnames library to help with this but obviously not a requi

The whole CSS in JS thing is so backwards. I use React a lot and I love it, but styles stay in a css file structured using BEM. It works.

This feels a bit confusing to me (what should I be searching for?) and it does appear to require a signup to access any of the content: "You need to log in to get the answer."

I recently repaired the logic board on my 2013 MacBook Air by baking it in the oven to reflow the solder. I thought I was being trolled when I first came across the advice on a forum but it worked! However the fix only lasted around 2 weeks

I have an (unpopular) iOS app that consumes the Dark Sky API. Recently it hit number 7 in the weather category, despite only having had 2 downloads in the previous 23 days. I thought that was rather peculiar at the time and wondered if Appl

Migrating from JavaScript to Typescript and declaring interfaces for classes and data structures forced me to put more thought into each piece before I start implementing. Now I’ve cleaned up a lot of old code I didn’t have much visibility
