   I just spent the week playing with Swift for the first time in a while. I hadn't seen Perfect yet, but that looks neat! A couple ideas I wanted to try: * Twilio messaging app. * Minimalist browser (no JS or CSS) maybe rendering HTML in

   Well, the first page[1] I tested it on worked fine, whereas pricep.in seemed to fail. Also, I didn't need to create an account or install an extension. [1] https://www.lowes.ca/routers/dewalt-dwp611pk-125-hp-variab

   I took an Uber home from the train station last week and it was less than $15. I'm not sure how much a taxi would've been, probably at least $25. I don't feel good about it. How can someone provide good service if they'r

    I decided to use TypeScript for my latest project for similar reasons. I'm barely using any TypeScriot features. I just wanted a simpler build system.

    Is WebAssembly going to solve anything though? Most of what I've read about it is that it will be an accessory to JavaScript. Things like databases, video encoding, 3D rendering, etc.. Will we really be interfacing with the DOM APIs in

    The past two days there has been a badge on my calendar icon on the dock. I'll go in and see a new event in inbox but the badge stays.. Such a tiny thing, yet so infuriating.

    What about all the `unwraps`? I have nightmares from last time I tried to get into Rust and it was unwrapping everything all the way down.

    Not only was it too much, it was of low quality. I very rarely went to any Zellers and ended up having a negative association with those I did. When they turned into Targets I still avoided them, never actually stepping foot in any Target s

    I've started something like that too. Instead of a templating engine I am just providing a jsfiddle-esque interface that smashes all the parts together with a bit of magic on top to get tracking and forms.

    I switched from Mailbox to Inbox a few months ago. Glad I did! There is no desktop app, and the settings aren't as customizable but the bundling feature makes up for that.
