FYI you can right-click and “copy as svg” for cross app pastes, or cmd+shift+c to copy as png.

I apprecate you joining in on the chaos! It was definitely WAY more attention than I was expecting. That's why I had encouraged people not to pay during the announcement post - I was more aiming to show off a side project rather than l

For me at least, it gave me the motivation to launch. I had been working on a Reddit-like platform for several years, and didn't really have pressure to launch. There was always "one more thing" to build. I was pretty stunned

This is one of my pet peeves about iOS as well. You’re able to customize and disable sounds of every noise the phone makes except the camera shutter. You can place the phone in silent mode to disable it, but doing so will obviously disabl

Satya probably offered the one resource they couldn’t buy at the scale/speed they need: GPUs. Both time on Azure’s cloud, as well as promise of some of the first Azure Maia 100 and Cobalt 100 chips.

No surprise there. Increased demand -> increased economies of scale over time. What I'm really curious about is if a new battery with increased density heavily disrupts this. If you double density, then naively you need half the bat

Love this. I do wonder how the bug fixes will affect speedrun attempts, and if people will start using this for speedrunning or if they'll stay on the prior version.

I found this to be pretty true while Living in Australia. I was always surprised at how cavalier doctors were about giving these out. I think it stems from two things - one is what they quoted in the article, that there's a "cultu

They're different things, though with an extremely simple component they might achieve a relatively similar goal. The downside of `is` is that you can only specify a single element to map to the component. An example of why you'd

I just wish you could allocate more than 4gb of memory to it. Limiting it to 32 bit addressing greatly reduces the applications of it for pro tools.

I'm really into what Australian startup Roev is doing in that space - they're doing exactly that: leveraging your electric car battery to do arbitrage on the grid. They're targeting larger more industrial/commercial flee

I'm actually on the opposite side of this. I wish there were more metered options available for data, especially for wireless options. I'd love to see an offering that has a low monthly connection fee (i.e. $1-5), along with a sen

I'm fine with them blocking adblockers now that they offer a no-ad paid tier. I think it's likely healthy for consumers to know they have to pay one way or another. What I'm really curious about though is whether competitors

From a marketing/product positioning perspective, I liked that Apple was focusing on performance per watt as their main selling metric. Yes it's fast and you can likely advertise on that alone, but the per-watt performance is just

There's a strong difference between styles and themes. Theming is quite easy with web components, as long as you have a semantic layer to your design tokens. Since custom properties do cascade, it's quite easy to automatically swi

I wrote all of non.io with vanilla webcomponents - it's a full SPA built on them. A few learnings I'll share with going beyond just a simple nested blog component: State management is still unanswered. You'll end up having to

It's fairly easy to choose between style isolation and no style isolation though. Just change the `this.shadow.innerHTML` in the render to `this.innerHTML`. The encapsulation aspect provides some really nice benefits in many scenarios,

Definitely a Stephenson issue. It's a meme for sure, but there is some truth in it. Nowadays when I re-read any of his old works, I tend to stop after getting about 80% through. That said, I do think that these incredibly complex narra

I'd love to see a machine learning model trained on the resulting data of this. It'd be crazy to see if it can effectively learn and generate realistic looking video as an output.

Very true! Nonetheless this approach would also break compatibility with `color-scheme`'s custom identifiers, which is just bad in general for CSS even for these small projects. The alternative proposal I put together here would allow

FWIW, I added a comment here around a simple but more flexible proposal, that allows for easy light/dark theming via this approach, but would at least scale (and would allow for color-scheme's custom identifier support to be usefu

I've done a LOT of dark mode work, to the point where I'd consider myself an expert here[1]. I'm not a fan of this. This solves one tiny aspect of the larger problem in a non-scalable way that will inevitably lead to bloat an
