I like to save the best / most interesting links I come across as I browse the web. It can come in handy to pull up a blog post I read a while ago or remember some new sass product…

This might be of interest: RFC 8984 JSCalendar: A JSON Representation of Calendar Data https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8984.html

It seems like the ideal approach would be "proving" syntax proposals by implementing them in a preprocessor first and then later trying to standardize the syntax if it gains tracti…

After thinking about this for a while, I think they've been making the right move. However, I'd like to see: - Xcode, Final Cut Pro, and other pro apps with full feature-sets desig…

I've been using GNU Stow (with Git) for the past month to sync some of my dotfiles between two laptops (Mac and Linux). It took 10 minutes to get comfortable with it and it works w…

I'm in the process of the same switch. I've liked Standard Notes. It's really nice that it's open source and encrypted. However I ran into some instances of cross-device conflictin…

Looks great. I'd love something like this. I assume it charges over USB-C? Any chance we can get a video of the laptop in-use, and maybe a few shots of it next to other popular lap…

Thanks for your contribution and outreach! SWR has been really helpful for us at work.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing! My dream platform: 1. Single binary install on nodes, and easy to join them into a cluster. 2. Resources defined as JSON with comments in a…

I have a Mastodon account. I just tried visiting the local timeline of a different instance, as recommended, and I have to say it was a much more engaging experience than I had had…

This is Aw-some.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info!

I should be clear my interest is theoretical. I haven't run into any practical issues with "crates.io" and it's been working great for me. I think the way Go and ES Modules (Deno /…

Steve, thanks for all your work on Rust! I'd like to understand more about the arguments for and against a URL-based module naming / resolution approach. Could you point me to any …

This has me feeling excited for something new and interesting. I'll be watching on Monday.

Off-topic, but I read the title as "Supported on Linux distributions including but not limited to Windows". Microsoft, you know what we want.

I have mixed feelings on urbit. I think it's a really interesting idea, but it's implementation is too obscure and complex. I do, however, sympathize with their goal and appreciate…

Good critique. I agree about control flow and memoization. I tend to run into issues every now and then with memoization and hook "dependencies", but I'm getting better at it. I th…

I really like the idea proposed here of components. I always thought it was weird to assign a margin to elements of a list to achieve spacing. To maintain proper spacing it's often…

I use Insomnia as well. There's a few Postman features I miss, but I like that it's slightly less heavy, and I like the Insomnia UI a lot better. They've been responsive to my feed…

I commented about this in a different thread about the same topic earlier today, but I'll post here as well. I can understand Apple's decision to do this, as there's a lot that can…

Off topic, but how is this experience using the Surface Pro X as a PWA machine? Does Windows / PWAs work well in tablet form? I was thinking of switching to a similar setup and usi…

This is a serious problem for modern web experiences. "After seven days of Safari use without the user interacting with a webpage on website.example, all of website.example’s non-c…

I have mixed feelings about Solid. I really love the ideas behind it, and having Tim Berners-Lee (big name in tech) at the helm is a huge plus. However, I have some trouble with so…

Both OpenGL shader code and on-device ML can be done in React Native. However, you likely won't reach full native performance today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HYnrdKEVMU htt…
