    Best I can tell, it turned into Google Web Designer! I'm on the outside, but best I can tell: - You're thinking of a UI design tool called "Ninja" - Google purchased Motorola Mobil…

    Hit command-t for file > new > new window tab. Then if you want you can drag out the tab into a new window. Now you can view these both at once. Window tabs are weird but powerful.…

    I don't know about "working" but most recently it looks like AlterEgo has gotten closer to a shipping product and did a publicity launch ~a month ago.

    To give some more context, Fleming's job was an antibacterial researcher, and also molds were also previously known to have these properties. In some ways, the lucky part was other…

    I only have the "final" 13.5kb version to test against. It compresses very well: gzip: 6.95kb (98.9%) brotli: 5.99kb (99.0%)

    I was curious about this myself. I extracted the json for the "uncompressed" image: https://gist.github.com/jmfd/8dbb96fcd8a1ba1e8ad6e9167bd70ce... And then tried these commands ag…

    If you're on a retina display, I recommend adding this CSS so it uses nearest-neighbor interpolation for the scaling: img { image-rendering: pixelated !important; }

    Thanks for your work in developing this! Does Lexical have a feature to set arbitrary CSS on a particular selection range? I've been looking for a solution to do this since the Web…

    It wasn't in the above list, but Apple did completely remove PHP in Monterey.

    I made a revised icon that imho fits in better with the Big Sur's look and works at Dock sizes: https://twitter.com/jmfd/status/1417595485653635073

    I'd say the difference in HyperCard and Visual Basic is that they also define their runtime environment. The IDE can grow with the runtime. Writing tooling against a vast runtime l…

    It echoes a Confucius quote I like: “Learning without thinking is useless. Thinking without learning is dangerous.” (Analects 2:15)

    Note that we do have upgrade discounts available, and if you purchased v3 after Oct 14, 2017 it is a free upgrade to the corresponding v4 edition. https://tumult.com/hype/support/u…

    Apps did start doing this before, definitely. I always felt they were arrogant in assuming they deserved a spot in my Applications folder. I should be able to put the app wherever …

    I absolutely wondered the same thing when doing the update as the world isn't 2003 anymore. But I have found it useful even when doing modern web development as a quick playground …

    Exactly! The primary purpose of the `altool` for notarization is probably to do so in an automated manner, but it will not block while waiting for notarization. So to make this par…

    Yes, it is really just a different set of tradeoffs now. It isn't just notarization, it is also that notarization requires app hardening which has very strict rules. Shipping an ap…

    I've definitely seen apps that do provide instructions on how to do this; off the top of my head I know SwitchResX requires it for a lot of the features [1]. There was also the "va…

    Removing color from toolbar/sidebar icons and fixing all line weights reduces the personality of software as well as increasing usability cognition. Even with years of use, I still…

    Thanks! Apps back then also tried much more to adhere to the Mac HIG, and in doing so it was pretty easy to wind up with at least not an unattractive app. I assume you are referrin…

    I'd be remiss to not point out: the latest version of Tumult Hype [1] added vector shape animation, line drawing, and morphing. It uses SVG under the hood, though SVGs cannot be im…
