One of my favorite components from the open source web components library Shoelace is the QR code generator: https://shoelace.style/components/qr-code …

If I remember right, Best Buy used to run NextStep

Window shade was a brilliant feature!

I hate to say it but their minimum configs feel like a pricing scam. Like the price of a hotel room before taxes & fees. Even store employees will tell you that you really have to go one level up.

Apple isn't unintelligent. They know what a horrible look this is and the press + government scrutiny it will generate. Thirty percent of all Patreon donations made on iOS is revenue so tiny it&#…

Having owned a Tesla for over ten years now, I’ve lived the real pain of being at the mercy of the manufacturer who can completely change how your car works overnight. Annoying in Figma, dangerous in …

From the article: “the researchers believe their approach will continue to reduce the cost of solar and also make it the most sustainable form of renewable energy.”

Yes but the screens are responsive and work on mobile—wasn’t expecting that.

I think AI is close to the point where synthetic users will be indistinguishable from real ones. To mitigate the techniques above and elsewhere in this thread, I think Apple will quickly move towards …

In trying to find a use case for AI, this ad actually sets up the worst possible scenario. All I can think of now is Sydney getting flooded with AI generated fan mail and trying to adjust spam filters…

That's the one! Thanks!

Also the other way around: text to speech. We're at the point where I can finally listen to computer generated voice for extended periods of time without fatigue. There was a project mentioned he…

I feel like messaging around trust is completely missing. Think of hiring a human assistant with this level of access to your life—someone who knows everything about you and can act and speak on your …

Was anyone else surprised how little disruption they personally experienced? I had braced for impact that weekend. But all my flights were perfectly on time, all my banking worked, providers worked, a…

I agree with this advice. But know there’s always an expert somewhere who says something when it comes to parenting. Most parents really are trying their best with the skills they have. Hang in there.

For sure. May just include rocket mockups now on any client work just to have a very comprehensive branding package.

I think Figma is fairly interested in lofi mockups too thus Figjam. Their components aren’t code exactly but I think that’s because they will ultimately directly output / sync full components to …

I am a parent, youngest now 13. Could I do it all again, would absolutely have this approach. Note she’s not anti-tech but pro childhood & the time & space & innocence you need to develop …

Interesting. I would have never thought that trail making apps would be the lion's share of revenue of this group. For password managers, however, I'm a big believer that those shouldn'…

I definitely support your goal: take all the public domain e-books and create audio versions for them. I think the "on-demand" approach is kinda brilliant. Once a book is requested, how long…

Nonsense. You also have a card holder agreement with the credit card issuer and as you know they can already decide to stop conducting business with a certain merchant. So they absolutely have power i…

It should really be federally mandated that card issuers maintain a webpage with all your recurring subscriptions and give you one-click access to cancel.

Anything delivered as a subscription that does not have correlating employee and infrastructure expenses for the business is just a trick to get you to overpay & support an otherwise unprofitable …

Most egregious thing I’ve recently discovered is the partnerships with the card issuer so that if you cancel a card, the subscriptions can automatically follow you to the new CC number.

This... isn't that. Changes made in the visual editor are translated into code and submitted to your project as a GH pull request for review. So from a project / software perspective, it loo…

I honestly can’t think of two people I’d less like to hear predictions from. Sorry to be negative.

Somehow I hate that more.

They have not yet started doing any training on user content and I applaud them for that. (They've only used public community files so far.) However, they are headed that way to support advanced …
