I'm curious about everyone's opinion on writing "by hand" with a stylus on tablets like the Remarkable, Kindle Scribe, iPad+Pencil, etc. I like sketching and outlining with pencil …

> For an LLM, words are the source, and any meaning is just a byproduct that falls out by accident. Recently, I've been thinking a lot about context and whether an LLM actually cre…

If OpenAI and Anthropic eventually become public companies with trillion-dollar valuations, it will be interesting to see if their company ethos remains the same. With that much pu…

The Flash era was the most fun I ever had as a developer. Flash was so ahead of its time, and it still feels like we're slowly crawling back after 20 years. Tools like Rive are hel…

Director was such a fun app for creating CD-ROM content back in the day! I still have fond memories of learning the Lingo scripting language inside Director to make interactive "mu…

That would be great! I usually search and end up on YouTube. Most videos for specific features are longer than needed when you only need to see how to do something quickly.

I recently dropped my cable service (cut-the-cord) after significant price increases over the past two years and switched to a few streaming providers. My household just doesn't wa…

Blender has such a rich and amazing history! I used it for some hobby projects many years ago, but the UI was very complex and the learning curve was high. Recent versions have gre…

Sure. We're focusing first on converting everything to plain Markdown and using a Git repo to manage the content. Writers can use whatever Markdown tool they prefer for this. (I'm …

> “As we continue to execute on our FY24 plan, we need to also evolve how we work and what we prioritize so we can deliver on the key initiatives we’ve identified that will have an…

We're in the same boat. I brought Confluence into our org almost a decade ago — it was the best collaborative wiki tool at the time. Over time the price has increased while the qua…

Maybe Apple should consider dev editions for MacOS that allows more customization during setup. MacOS is still heavily used by web and mobile developers, so I'm sure this would be …

Interesting thesis. When used as intended, web analytics should be only one input to an overall strategy -- not the sole driver for all decisions. But I can see how an organization…

Duplo's were the go-to toy in my house for years. The larger size makes it much easier to find pieces in "the big box of Lego" than standard Lego's. Duplo and Lego, in general, hav…

I completely agree! I loved working with Flash back in the day; it was an empowering tool for me as a developer with little animation experience. It packed so much power into one t…

How did you organize the new box? Did you use a specific type of organizer? I have a few scattered boxes of cables, wires, and parts that I need to reduce into one "usable" contain…

In addition to all the great new features, Livewire is now a first-party Laravel package! You can review a summary of the new features here: https://laravel-news.com/livewire-v3-be…

This is both fascinating and sad. It does feel somewhat reminiscent to the state of HTML (pre-HTML5) before W3C and WHATWG agreed to work together on the development of HTML5. I su…

Good points! As someone who uses both ORM and raw SQL (I actually really like SQL as language) I sympathize with both sides of this debate. I prefer the readability of ORM in my mo…

The books sounds very interesting. I never worked with LlamaIndex and now I'm intrigued by the possibilities!

I agree. The allure of working from anywhere at any time is enticing, but not the reality for most. Everyone ultimately has a boss — whether an employer, manager, shareholder, clie…

Great point! Ignoring some of its flaws (proprietary, upfront download, etc.), Flash ushered in an explosion of creativity, motion and fun and was way ahead of its time. My first w…

I agree! Good design is hard and these basic rules make sense for most designs. It's better to stick to them unless you are certain about your reasons otherwise. These days, I tend…

For those on Microsoft 365 (by choice or via your company), have you tried or adopted Microsoft Bookings [1]? I noticed that Bookings shares some of the core features of Calendly, …
