Thanks for sharing; it looks like this has trouble with certain kinds of images. Here's likely the most representative example: Original: https://imgur.com/a/NrEXfua BG removed: https://imgur.com/a

In case you didn't know: Coherence is almost entirely improv - there was no script, and it was shot in just 5 days. I don't tell people before they watch it, because you can't tell. The cast each got a notecard each day of sh

Probably a worthwhile addendum that they had a "restructuring" in May, laying off 15% of their staff, ~400 people, and their CEO stepped down. They've yet to find a replacement CEO, still running under interim leadership.

If an incompetent bad actor wrote a book about web development best practices, without any knowledge of the frontend, even a layperson would quickly realize it was nonsense. An LLM writing the same would instead create a plausible but wron

Knowing who the proponents are is reasonable and unrelated to that concept.

Ad hominem is a fallacious argument, but this is journalism, not an argument. In journalism, providing background is a good thing.

Of course. It's explaining who the organization is that is filing it. That's basic journalism, right? It would seem a huge oversight to not mention it.

To call America First Legal "Trump-aligned" is putting it mildly, and it would be incredible not to mention it: > Stephen Miller, the former senior advisor to president Donald Trump, is the organization's founder and pres

Same company. It's a shopping app, with one of its tabs instead embedding the more sensitive pharmacy ecom side. This skipped $millions in build out, but we were perplexed when no one used it. CAPTCHA was on for this large company beca

Users are punished if Google is unaware of them. I built an iOS app for a major brand but the web view would load with no cookies in a sandbox, and we realized after roll out that all users were needing to solve 10+ hard CAPTCHA challenge

Flash game sites were still huge and popular after Adobe’s purchase, so clearly it did not kill it. If you mean something like that the acquisition started the death… that’s a hard position to argue against, since it’s subjective. Perhaps y

Gobs of e-commerce apparel companies are now using AI product photos too. My friend works for one such company. It’s outrageous as it’s a complete fabrication of the garment’s fit on a model, how a piece of furniture looks in a space, etc.

It is illegal to close a store for unionizing. It can be devilishly hard to prove that’s the case, but if the workers do, the NLRB has the power to force a store to reopen .

Internet pro tip, for ultimate space efficiency don’t keep any images on your server. Instead, have StableDiffusion generate images from alt text on each page load and serve as data URIs. Checkmate, high storage costs!

This is quite good, so as a fellow frontend person I'll give some deeper notes, including accessibility. 1. There is perceptible lag when sorting. 2. Sortable headers are interactive yet are `div` elements: they can't be focused o
