The worst technology I've encountered in recent years is: Other People's AirPod. When paired with a windows PC or older Mac, Airpods use an older or lower quality audio codec that sounds pretty poor for those hearing you speak. Ca

It's not useful - it's not supposed it be. Rather, it's a fun little exercise to better understand how TypeScript works.

Some great material here, but I think the real cause of inflation is due to the strain of trying to read on a page with too much animation.

I assumed this was a "more native" port of Meld to macOS, as it has been available for Mac for a while. I've been using the version installed via `brew`. It appears this is the same version (the page says "Homebrew now i

So many animations, huge blocking ads, and scrolling videos. The reading experience on the Bloomberg.com site was so poor that I lost my retirement savings.

I have airless tires in the same bucket as flying-cars and video-phones (things that sort of exist, but are always just around the corner from being widely adopted). (I realize that video-phones are kind of widely adopted now via Zoom/

The Notion blog has had some quality posts, but it seems to be missing an RSS feed. You can subscribe via email (no thanks), and I realize there are some good ways to turn an email subscription into a feed (Feedbin.com handles this nicely).

I always assumed that the green help links color was intentionally differentiated from regular blue web links to clearly imply that they remain within the "Help" universe. The timeline might undermine my assumption.

A similar concept is explored in the sci-fi novel Hole, by Brandon Q. Morris. I'd give it a 3/5 - fun read, not a classic. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43566986-the-hole

Nicely done. I like this approach and rationale. I've taken a similar approach to custom CSS for sites, but have never taking the time to abstract it as is done here. While I liked the overview on the home page, it took me a bit to fin

I'm wearing one right now. I agree this is a handy feature. It has two down-sides: 1. Muting the mic involves touching/moving the mic, so you make some noise when trying to discretely mute/unmute. 2. It mutes, but doesn'

A standalone hardware mute switch for Zoom/etc calls so you can prominently and reliably see your mic mute status, and quickly and easily flip it on and off. (I know there are a few do-it-yourself options for these, but I'd much r

An option like this adds time and complexity to all other interface changes, so removing the option could save development and testing time in the long run.

I suspect there's a kind of selection bias in a discussion like this. People who care about this feature are motivated to comment. People who don't care aren't. Interface variations have a cost as a complexity multiplier, add

Yes! As a person raising kids in "the Western way", we ARE weird. Obviously, this is a broad oversimplification, but I do think the way we manage our kids time and limit their freedom is problematic. That said, I think many of the

I applaud any effort to improve communication within a team, and haven't tried this specifically, so take my criticism with a grain of salt. My concern with this approach is that it relies on us to be self-aware of our idiosyncrasies a

How did you implement the scrolling such that it feels smooth/fast/native, but scrolls in one row/column steps (so you never see half a row)? CSS Scroll Snap? Nicely done.
