Tangentially related — on my website I track coffees I’ve enjoyed and show their origin on an interactive globe. https://farrant.me/coffees/ The tilt of the globe on that page chan…

https://farrant.me I’ve been having a lot of fun with the site in the last year-or-so. I’ve had a personal site for well over a decade now, but this is the iteration I like the mos…

Imagine being under siege and dropping pitch on someone. Give it 8-or-so years and they'll be in real trouble

Finally, a Hacker News comment I can relate to.

Sorry, those with disabilities don’t actually have the right to enjoy art. This article just isn’t for you. /s I hate how ableism is so prevalent on the web and amongst engineers. …

Sorry, I'm not sure I completely understand your question. Would you mind clarifying slightly please?

Unfortunately it doesn't look like that works. I've been testing periodically as new betas are released, but I'm still seeing this every time I try to AirDrop a .shortcut over. htt…
