   You could put “real cameras” in this category. It’s pretty satisfying to use a dedicated camera which prevents you from slipping into Instagram or email.

   Give it some time—Marco just radically re-architected the app and is in the process of iterating the UI rapidly. He just added the ability to swipe in the main card again for example.

   I feel like this is less of an issue than people fear. I use a Robot, and the heat retention is totally sufficient even without preheating.

   I’ve heard the exact opposite advice (keep the drives running to reduce wear from power cycling). Not sure what to believe, but I like having my ZFS NAS running so it can regularly run scrubs and check the data. FWIW, I’ve run my 4 drive sy

   Sure thing! On the pure digital download side, take a close look at what Gumroad [0] is doing. Also check out Sellfy [1], which is also sort of a Shopify replacement. In terms of lead magnets, you might check out Podia [2], which supports l

   I've wanted to build this exact thing so many times—nicely done! I haven't dug into the details too much, but does it support digital downloads? That and "lead magnet" downloads are two things that would help a lot of st

    Ah yes, we will need ships for the coming US/China war where both sides agree to confine the conflict to the water.

    This doesn't really seem like a copilot, but it's still cool! It reminds me of the plugins for Glyphs [0], which allow font designers to speed up their process. [0]: https://glyphsapp.com/features#plug-ins

    I’ve been asking this question for literally 20 years and still haven’t come up with any answer. I’d love to support it, but… why?

    I have not heard anything about SSD issues from my friends in the IT department who service hundreds of laptops… Personally I’m still running an M1 MacBook Air which has been bulletproof for almost 4 years now. Before that I ran a 12” MacBo

    You'll see this occasionally when you print out a value that contains optionals in the console. But in 10 years of writing Swift code, I've never had any reason to interact with the underlying enum case values. I'm not sure w

    Had the same experience with function calling—we get much better results simply asking for JSON. With simple schemas (basically dictionaries), gpt-4 and 4o are basically bulletproof.

    I've built many, many single-file HTML web apps over the years, mostly for internal use. So on that level, I love this! However, not to be a buzzkill, but I feel like if you're spiritually aligned with this concept, you should jus

    Especially when it looks like a fairly unremarkable mix of megacap stocks. Pure marketing.

    I wonder if this will lead to greater emphasis on targeting. If you can't prove that they clicked the ad, at least you want to be in front of the right people.

    It was 100% an above-board trade. Xerox at that point had poured an ocean of money into PARC and hadn't really seen any return on it. I don't think they would have seen it as an IP transfer, because it wasn't. Apple didn&#x27

    You're right of course—another way to put it is that Xerox got the chance to make a $1M investment in pre-IPO Apple.

    If you read a bit about it, you'll understand that Apple did not copy the Alto—they did something that was actually way harder. They created a better version of what the Alto was attempting to do, and got it to run on lower-grade hardw

    This is such a frustrating misunderstanding of the history, and the history is fascinating. Xerox invited Apple to tour PARC in exchange for $1M worth of pre-IPO Apple stock, which today would be worth [checks notes] more than that. There w

    It can even vary within the city—in Chicago there's an extra tax on the F&B industry to support Navy Pier, with very specific boundaries.

    Yeah there's a lot of nuance state-to-state, like Illinois charging for certain digital services.

    Not a complete answer to your question, but Mermaid is a plain-text diagram format which, while far from perfect, is supported by Github. So if you're looking to include a simple chart in your Readme or Markdown docs, it's a good
