I grew up with an Apple Lisa, PowerBook 145 and 180 and later 180c, and then a Macintosh 638CD. Windows 95's release was during a pretty dark period for me as a Mac user. System 7 was pretty unstable and crashed frequently. I don'

I really loved this era of computing. I really want to go grab a Performa 6400 and load up Bryce and Metrowerks.

Here's one for you, Doug. My condolences. https://chat.openai.com/share/dbd59c92-696b-45d3-8097-c09a23...

It's one car, so I don't want to pretend like it's every car, but certainly Tesla has earned a reputation at poor quality control. It seems obvious to me they optimize for factory output even at the cost of delivering a corre

Here’s the real problem. Apple will never intentionally prolong upgrade cycles for expensive laptops by offering you a cheaper device that can “do everything.” The iPad was conceived as a media consumption device, sitting between a phone an

He killed OpenDoc, too! XD

Frustrating. I’ve put on literally no muscle mass at my VR gym. Frankly even when deadlifting supposedly 1,000 pounds, I felt nothing and immediately fell over backwards.

Anyone remember an extension for System 7 that put Oscar the Grouch in your trash can? “I love it because it’s trash!”

It's an old project. Probably just don't worry about it. :)

Agreed, really bizarre. Confusing because most people have never heard of Retool. Potentially misleading because to some it implies either a relationship or a very icky gimmick.

I am personally grateful to your contributions and talks, Rich. Thank you for everything so far.

Are you really constantly amazed? iPhone user here. I don’t see my phone as a status symbol. I just like it much better. If you like Android better, that’s cool too.

"Not getting 100%" is a bit of a straw man argument. "Less than half" is significant, particularly when the CEO (to his credit) is calling it out as something that must improve. And it matters to balance the existing nar

As they say, it's not the tool, it's how the tool is used. After reading this, I cannot understand how this is better or even different from Slack. If people are disorganized, allow themselves to be distracted, distract others, st

I understand this reaction, but you're missing the point. It's precisely that the rendering engine is not what drives value; it's what you build on top of that sediment layer.

I love Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView. A drawback is the size of the community, and as a function of that, availability of libraries for various things. It is not bad. It is also not great. That said, the community itself deserves high marks

For what it’s worth, I left Fly because of this crap. At first my Fly machine web app had intermittent connection issues to a new production PG machine. Then my PG machine died. Hard. I lost all data. A restart didn’t work - it could not re

Yes, this. It's tough when you've already played your "we messed up but we're making it right" card, and then you continue to not have it right.

I could not agree more. When I read this my immediate thought was — all that money, and none spent on product marketing or copywriting. Oof.

Don't get me started with Fly — especially postgres machines. In my experience, a really nice idea with poor support and unreliable infrastructure.

There are emissions in refinement, production, and charging. But if a vehicle runs on a battery, those lifecycle emissions can be improved as we did with the fleet itself. It decouples the car’s energy source from what the manufacturing pr

We're using it in production and really like it. We're very intent on removing as much React/JavaScript as possible (given the user experience we want to build). On another note, +1 to Phoenix LiveView if that stack can work

And as many of us have observed, the key isn't just the app or UI, it's that there are people there. With Threads, people are indeed there. Like it or not I think this means Bluesky is dead-on-didn't-arrive. Is it any surpris

I've been using Tailwind since its release. I think it is fantastic and I'm so grateful for it. We're also happy customers of TailwindUI. I just launched a new product and we could not have gotten to market as quickly without

I’m building a tiny little product for trail runners and cyclists in Python 3.10 (Flask) at https://www.outandback.com . Python has been a lot of fun to pick up (I rely heavily on pandas and some ML libraries so it felt like the

That would a very misleading choice. .astro files are not .ts or .tsx. Similar to .vue files, they have their own structure that needs to be interpreted.

A stock is a contract. Can you have a contract when money isn’t exchanged? Or, can you a price change (from $0.01 to $0.00) when presumably there’s no more liquidity? I’m going with no, a stock cannot go to zero.

This. The media is flawed. Journalists are flawed. The Verge in particular has some atrocious coverage of tech. But the problem with Elon is that in his world, we must rely on him for true information. As if the direct source is inherently

I assume the new CEO will hold Twitter’s tech leader responsible.

The iPad has been mostly uninteresting since its release for anything more than consumption or sending emails. And now with the MacBook Air, I’m happily selling my iPad Pro and never looking back. To paraphrase Logan Roy: these are not seri
