How does all this interact with html minification? IIRC you can't nest p tags but you can nest li, so does browser just make assumptions about your intent. Is it not better to stat…

Hi y'all, today I'm sharing Jot, an offline, source available note taking and personal assistant app. You can read all about it in the blog post. This is definitely an app geared t…

Btw, these social media giants curate content wayyyy more than you'd expect. TikTok curates it's trends and gets it's biggest influencers to engage first. Pinterest seeded it's net…

Popularity aside, I have been feeling lately that cross-platform and familiarity are reducing in importance. LLMs make it easy to pick up something new. Maybe "right tool for the j…

This honestly. I honestly think this is so easily solved at the OS/browser level. Apple already does parental controls. Just pass 'Can view adult content' and 'can watch ads' from …

I'd just describe this job market as competitive and every company appears to be looking for some specific persona now. Believe it or not you could thrive in this job market. For y…

Fair, but you could throw away numbers more easily in this situation due to data breaches. You could also "update trusted parties" with a new improved scheme overall.

Another solution - drop numeric phone numbers all together and switch to alphanumeric or verified contact only. With numeric, sequential phone numbers you can just robocall all the…

The biggest midwit vibe is throwing everything out when the pendulum swings to no process mode and then adding a whole bunch of process/methodology when that doesn't work. This is …

Step 1: The main folks you should convince to get onboard are actually the designers. The argument I've seen work pretty well is "having a consistent design means your designer don…

There are likely ways to have your cake and eat it too. Rather than replace the existing system, consider augmenting it with your own and then eventually, over time replace the exi…

At this point GLTF seems pretty darn good and seems broadly usable. It embeds the mesh, textures, animations right in a single file. It can represent a single model or a scene. I a…

I think people forget, it's literally your money. Yea it's theoretically subsidized but the amount of money you put into the system over 40 years is probably more than you'll ever …

Hmmmm interesting. I can see a use case for like a drone or small robot to have one of these attached to add details all over the place. Ok you've convinced me it's cool lol

The size of the printing mechanism is an innovation for sure, but I think after you add up all the other components to make a functioning printer you end up at nearly the same size…

The form factor here is cool, but as someone whose been resin printing a bunch lately, the pitch to carry it around in your pocket sounds questionable. 1. Where are you going to st…

This is awesome and much needed. Keep going, forget the overly pedantic folks, the vision is great and early results are exciting.

Complexity is a great reason to implement something like this in-house. It's probably better to understand (and fully control) the sharding and transaction mechanism than to trust …

Now seems a good time to point out, the wheel has literally been reinvented over and over again. The wheels of yesterday were terrible. Each version gets better. It's fine, reinven…

About 7 years ago now I'd say I had an identity crisis. Startup life is rough whether you're working for someone or on your own. I've done both. I wanted to find work life balance …

Finding the right abstraction is hard. To me in seems clear Next is tuned for Vercel Now. If you build in a compatible way it works great, it's a nice "serverless" setup for servin…

Another insidious thing in Next: their middleware is completely sandboxed and you can't use any standard Node functionality. It doesn't matter if you're using vercel now or not, an…

I think so much of the commentary misses the point. Goals drive focus, they help folks say no and ask "how does project x help get more sign-ups?". If nothing else it's a communica…
