It's difficult to turn your phone off if you have a spouse or children or other dependents who you can't drop communication with for hours at a time. But it's helpful to strip it down to the essentials so it doesn't doub

This was the first time I'd heard that gotcha question. I just threw it at Opus 5: None — a bass in water is a fish, and fish are notoriously bad at music. The instrument version plays four strings as standard (five and

Not officially, but I did add the ability to drop shared pins on the map for your friends. I also had that in mind, some of the most fun or wild moments have been on the street.

I'll be flying to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival in a couple of days, and I've been putting together a much better app than the official one. It builds the full catalog of shows as a sqlite database and syncs it to your phone s

Funny how at this point election fraud is a bipartisan issue, everyone seems to believe it's happening or will happen!

Running a performance profile in Chrome doesn't back this up for me, and looking at the loop it looks like it maintains an active `Set<JellyComponent>()` of which components to update, and clears them out when they stop moving. A

Do you have reduced motion enabled? That disables all the effects.

I'd imagine that it's them doing something they earnestly want to do, but trying to lampshade something that they believe people will perceive of them or be judgmental about. Like most self-deprecating humor, people often want to

> The makers of both iOS and Android treat the ability to "bookmark" a web URL onto your home screen as a power user feature that requires navigating through complex, technical-sounding menus. Not the case on many Android brows

Funny, when I saw "FM" and "FF" I interpreted it as "Family Male" and "Family Female." But Father and Mother are those characters gender swapped!

Hard to say "entirely" when you also have a movement of people and non-profits who are also pushing for more regulation.

Good call, attribution shows up on desktop but it gets covered by the search on mobile. I'll be sure to nudge that up. Thanks!

I have been going regularly to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and their app is always terrible. Connectivity is very spotty since the city is swarmed with way more people than usual and the older buildings can kill your signal. So I've

As someone who used to pride myself on being able to make complex graphical designs a reality, it has definitely put me into a little bit of an identity crisis. But ultimately I think it just pushes you to find the things that are still har

I'm glad to see more positive takes on client-side rendering. Unless SEO and crawlability are important for your site, server side rendering is such an overprescribed solution. If I put my tin-foil hat on, I'd say it gets a lot of

Art is often made from clever use of things that were not intended to make art. Let them have fun.

Many websites have looping or scroll-triggered animations, or play gifs / videos that a static image wouldn't capture.

You are relying on the wrong people to be able to understand that nuanced distinction.

The author touches on this in the last section, but I'd reframe this a different way. The natural conclusion for a company who wants to funnel you to the app is, "the web version is a-OK? Let's make the web version worse.&quo

I cannot get apps on my iPhone from anywhere else but the App Store. While they are dominant, Valve isn't locking anyone in even on their own hardware.

I'm willing to bet that many people produce code with Claude code that you would not be able to distinguish from a skilled human. Every tool has its uses and misuses. Edit: just noticed the username.

As a home owner in Austin, I want my friends to be able to afford homes too and not feel like they have to move to have a yard and a family. Bring on the new construction.

> AWS doesn’t charge you in mysterious ways. It charges you in specific, predictable ways that nobody taught you to look for. That’s a knowledge gap. The purpose of this post is to shed some light on this. Or it's a UX gap. If this

Reading what they're offering, the stand-out to me is making publishing the applications easy for others on your team to use. That would he a pain point for non technical users.

Most organizations I've set Sentry up for tunnel the traffic through their own domain, since many blocking extensions block sentry requeats by default. Their own docs recommend it as well. All that to say, it's not trivial to full

Pessimism is not a uniquely American viewpoint. "South Korea is second from bottom on our list in terms of the proportion of people saying their country “is heading in the right direction”, with only 15% stating so. A similar sentiment

I can't speak to your use case, but for past projects I've not only wanted to share types but actual logic. For instance, if you want instantaneous validation on the frontend, while applying the same logic on the backend with subm
