I’m shopping for anything EV other than a Tesla now. There are many options now, but Tesla is still way ahead with the power train. Most competitors aren’t at the same place on range & performance…

Us too! They fixed a door handle and now the interior door panel falls off. They fixed a flash storage issue with the touchscreen and now it leaks some kind of sticky sealant everywhere. I’m scared to…

Podcasts have been a godsend for me. I can’t lay in silence, either, because then my mind just races. But with a podcast you can just close your eyes and listen. It almost takes me back to my parents …

Documentation and the go templating language. I just don’t find it readable. Here’s an example from the docs {{ if (and (or (isset .Params "title") (isset .Params "caption")) (…

To your point of video conferences between offices and teams... I think the worst possible setup is a zoom conference that's a hybrid of remote and in-person attendees. It's where video conf…

Well don’t frame it as a right, think in terms of desired outcome. If a user relapses, does removing their housing help in recovery?

Even worse, my Dad met us for brunch and overstayed his allotted time in one of these systems by 8 minutes. Would be ok if they billed him the same rate perhaps, but they "fined" him $80 for…

I mean, I just don’t think you should have to have Django for a simple website. Astro is an alternative to those backend frameworks. It’s a backend framework itself in many ways.

I agree. I’m glad they are contacting a lawyer. I’ll always buy electric cars now but I’ll never buy another Tesla. Love the powertrain, dislike the cheap car parts wrapped around it & hate the c…

The “Don’t stand on the steps” poster sure looks like the other passenger threw him from the train. But resisting throwing out other passengers is also good advice.

On what services? I’m not an iOS dev, but I just haven’t been hit with this on apple services as a user.

I think the shock to the industry was that the outside, not the inside, is what made this computer successful. People forget how it launched a complete craze of transparent plastics. Vacuums, kitchen …

Also: I think every project / saas service should be required to have a footer haiku: javascript fatigue:
longing for a hypertext
already in hand

Congrats on the GitHub program! Very cool. I just had a fresh read of the docs and htmx is refreshingly, gloriously simple--such a breath of fresh air. So natural, self-documenting, and well thought o…

What a grumpy comment. - Two of the best developers I know are completely self-taught. - I'd argue there have been so many front-end frameworks not for the sake of novelty because the web platfor…

When I did college in the mid-90s, the American Advertising Federation had not yet green-lighted digital projectors. (Which was ok, because the resolution and brightness at the time was pretty terribl…

I think you need a bit more info about this project before being so pessimistic. It's far from a done deal, but I've followed this project for a while and it has unique characteristics that …

Remember when Zoom was silently installing hidden web servers on Macs?[1] This vulnerability allowed any website to forcibly join a user to a Zoom call, with their video camera activated, without the …

Question: what’s a use case for generating so many images in a batch at scale?

And his cup backwards

Years ago I worked for a company in a huge windowless, wall-less open plan building that was supposed to be fun because they put a slide in it. You had to have headphones on to think. Looking back it …

It’s not a meme. Battery electric powertrains are heavier than ICE + fuel equivalents.

Hear me out because I thought I HATED tailwind, but have come to reconsider. What got me to convert to using Tailwind on projects (after a lot of reluctance) was styling variants. How to handle edge c…

Adding even MORE to the insult is this part from the article: "many agencies will simply remove pedestrian facilities to reduce the cost of compliance". I see that so often: having to cross …

This is the first thing I thought of, too! Just amazing.

I love your Berlin site! It’s so clean, useful, and informative. May I ask how the revenue works? I just like that it’s not polluted with ads.

"Whether you want to build a note-taking application for mobile devices, an automated testing environment, or demo a live WooCommerce store on your site – Playground will support you." The l…

I’m not sure you could implement the same level of functionality in less JavaScript using React or even Svelte. So you’re talking more about the shape of the API than amount of code.

I don’t get it. They didn’t want a static site generator so they wrote a static site generator.
