Related — I did a deep dive a couple years ago on emoji codepoints and how they're encoded in the Apple emoji font file, with the end goal of extracting the embedded images — https…

In the keynote Apple said the M1 Max should be comparable to the performance of an RTX 3080 Laptop (the footnote on the graph specified the comparison was against an MSI GE76 Raide…

No, it's available as a self-serve upgrade from the admin panel. Sales might be able to give discounts, but that's not very likely for an "enterprise" with 1 user :)

The AMEX SimplyCash card has 1.25% cash back. Still nothing compared to U.S. cards though, and pretty much only usable online

Electron is built with Chromium. It's usually behind by a few versions (though the team is really focusing now on getting things up to date), and there are differences and addition…

I agree they aren't universal, so it's not so useful for first-time users, but once you get to learn them I find they help a lot with scanning and recognition.

I don't love the design, but what bothers me more is that I disagree with many of the premises informing the decisions, for example: - Github tab icons are purely decorative - Beca…

I agree jQuery was very useful early on, especially since it abstracted cross-browser differences and APIs. However in my experience, a couple of things were key to creating a nega…
