Yes, exactly. Starbucks doesn't serve coffee as much as warm (or cold) milkshakes. And with items like the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino they aren't even pretending anymore.

I think this undersells how easy it is to disengage attention when you are actively driving. The task of driving (especially your commute route) is very mundane.

A projection is always a messy mix of what you know at the time combined with your own emotional temperament and wiring. I think the big debate on Elon is if he's a serial liar or a serial optimi…

Actually, they clarify just below that while they are kidding on the guidance, the acquisition is of course real. Hard to announce new news on April 1, especially with humor included.

I feel this is April Fools. Perhaps this line gives it away: "As of today, we’re changing our name to Meowgun and focusing entirely on streamlining communication between cats and their owners.&qu…

To be fair, education in the US is very broken.

Figma would be impressive as a desktop app, but it’s even more impressive delivered through a browser. Just amazing engineering. I am continually amazed with how performant, reliable, and fast that br…

Pricing is a part of it, sure, but the real reason I think is that Sketch was designed from the group up to be a tool for creating digital UI. Without the clutter and legacy of Adobe Illustrator /…

I think that the cost of the phone is financed really helps here, too. It hides (mostly) that you are purchasing ~$1k worth of equipment.

I posted this because I want to use Chrome less, but it's still required for some work applications (Google Meet / Coda.io). This allows me to leave my default as Safari but open meeting lin…

I think we are seeing big changes in the platform that actually make it a very exciting time to be a web developer. - Much better tooling & testing - Excellent editors like VSCode - Javascript ES6…

Articles say science unproven. Thunder notably creates similar shockwave. It’s in the category of who knows but cheap enough to atempt anyway.

Do you know if registered globally = pre-loaded or are they only loaded as encountered / needed? Just wondering if you have to be careful how many components you put in that directory. Not for pu…

This cycle blankets every new technology as a misstep that we’ll revert back from. The real cycle is that we continually test new ideas and new approaches, learn their strengths and weakness, and ulti…

Google Maps always nags me to login to improve my experience. I hate that; hate the idea of one more entity collecting info on my daily patterns and travels.

I think it depends on use case, of course. Gmail, Google Slides, or Figma would be poor MPAs I’d say.

This is spot on. The illusion doesn't have to be prefect, just convincing. Huge convenience factor to automation of communications like calls and emails, but it does break the simple mental contr…

All ideas I think have a scale where they perform best. Some ideas do require starting capital of $10m or more to really work--VC there may be the best option. However, I've seen too many compani…

Your toothbrush certainly does not need an app. But what's the game, I wonder, for the dental insurance company? I mean, _why_ do they want your data? Aggregate data on habits? The chance to shap…

Is this just a new type of monotony though? Look at the sites in these two rows from the Brutalist Websites collection (1 & 2 below). My favorite of the entire set is the ZK/U site, as it has…

Will never forget the launch event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ

Thanks for the honest admission! Totally agree. I really feel the fragile mystery of floats and they way they operated is what drove so much adoption for CSS frameworks. It's true today that you …

Aside from the better look, it seems like the build quality has made significant advancements too, yeah? (I've yet to sit in a Model 3.) The Model S squeaks and rattles like a 1980s Oldsmobile!

This common comment is funny to me because I _like_ Tesla's design sensibilities for their interiors. I'll be the first to say the fit, finish, and materials could all be better, but what th…

Rail can arrive and depart at predictable times. That’s insanely important in a transportation system. Buses (at least those without dedicated right of way) are dependent on traffic conditions. I’ve r…

18 years. I’m damn fast realizing design in code but will always be faster in visual media. I imagine your designs aren’t that complex? Simple pages do code up quick.

I'm still waiting for the generation of tools that are native to the medium—fluid, responsive, interactive, and aware of the final context for the design. So we don't start with static mocku…

Just to set record clear, vue components can be written in pure JS or using JSX, in addition to the template files.

Leaving Facebook has honestly made me a happier guy. (I left my account active, but I've removed the apps from my phone and I only visit the site about once every three months to message someone …
