This may have been handwaved in the past, because config files don't take that much storage. But Sequoia and up have strict management of background agents in "Settings / Login Ite…

We need to talk about two use-cases separately: CSS for design systems is fine. You can define a .button[data-variant=”primary”]. It’s intuitive, performant, makes sense. CSS for a…

I agree that all of this is bikeshedding, but the cascade complaint is actually real. It's so common, that there is an expensive runtime package, `tailwind-merge`, that is used by …

Are you suggesting to style the tag name directly? Because that would create chaos in a codebase. is for semantics. It's possible that other design system components need the same …

When I walk around my increasingly billboard-infested hometown. I observe that almost every ad actually nudges me in some way: whether I should switch internet providers, whether m…

Standard practice in every decent frontend framework has been to create a component, that wraps the without rendering its own dom node. This avoids the typical downsides of inherit…

1. You can download & install PWAs for offline use too. 2. This isn't true for apps anymore. Server driven ui is a thing. 3. JS runs locally. You can inspect the network traffic mo…

Whenever I'm bored, I go to the ant-design site to see how long it takes to find the first gross accessibility violation. This time it was the dropdown just above the fold, which w…

It's a combination of two things that never should have been normalized: - Steam forces game updates, even for single player games. - terrible delta updates. Baldurs Gate 3 had 8 p…

I wonder what you're doing that you need to type it so often. I almost never use it in application code (outside of tests and generic utilities). There are some techniques that are…

Depends on the app, but mostly they're better than in the past.

> I would have no idea, but I could discover the answer with a little bit of exploration and a good understanding of how UIs are supposed to work. I don't get this. Many things lik…

This is a side-project by the team behind Bear, a notes app with the least annoying ~~wysiwyg markdown editor~~. Least annoying rich text editor. It took them ~4 years to ship this…

Thx, I'll switch to that. Somehow "everywhere" works on my phone but not my watch.

"Siri, lights out everywhere" - "okay, which room". "Siri, start a stopwatch" - runs the App "Stopwatch" without starting it Such errors happen maybe 50% of the time. You can never…

If you view it like that, any argument against openness could be made in the name of privacy. With that interpretation, the Mac is terrible for privacy as you could just chose to i…

Whatever describes the change better. Sometimes the issue is easier to describe "fix: car steers in slalom". Where the solution would have been subtle interaction between 3 differe…

yep. I'm on the fence about types generally, but "fix:" saves/standardizes a bunch of phrases like "fix an issue where", "prevent" or having to invert the message by describing the…

Maybe it's a me-thing, but when I see the creators of a system I trust basically deprecate it, then I try to re-evaluate my viewpoint. Also, when I read the post a few years back, …

Interesting that you still stand by that, even after Apple moved to the exact same model with Swift UI. Narrowmindedly worrying about syntactical differences is contributing nothin…

I don't want that. I don't want to care about screen readers (unfortunately I have to). I want a system where I can pick well-defined rules and then css can style it, screen reader…

It seems obvious that they plan to eventually drop VSCode. I'd be willing to take them up on that offer. Their agent window is genuinely better as a starting point. What annoys me …

You're conflating correctly targeted ads and useful information. If you sell gambling ads to an addicted gambler, the gambler doesn't get useful information. Niche interests might …

Textbook marketing speak: “Don't you want more relevant ads?”. It assumes that “ads” = useful information, but that's rare at best. Most ads focus on stealing your attention and cr…
