    JavaScript driven SPA is fine as long as everyone remembers that the entire and only point at the end of the day is to create HTML.

    That’s why you send them the link to the prototype, which opens in their browser, not the figma link. That’s like half the point of prototyping software vs graphic design / illustr…

    Garmin watches can be used this way, but it’s not quite as easy; you can even mount the watch as a USB drive and access a lot of the data that way if you want. I did hit one issue …

    I disagree slightly; I think there’s an important thing here which was a little bit glossed over in the article. The original code established a pattern and left space for where an…

    And the parent comment said “47% wasted power … extra second … would offset half of that” and 47% of four seconds is about two, half of that is one second, so I’d say that was shoc…

    But based on this it seems like the right comparison is between a three year old iPhone and a brand new mid-level android because they’ll last you the same amount of time, and thre…

    That seems kind of odd, my iPhone 12 Pro has zero issues with things like that and it’s three years old. I did upgrade a few weeks ago because the iPhone 15 cameras are amazing and…

    You can’t “fix” a leak, you have to revoke the involved secrets. Editing / deleting the answer is irrelevant.

    They didn’t, they were passing by, and eventually headed to an area with coverage.

    There are several states where you can form an LLC without making your information public. In New Mexico you don’t even need to tell the state. I can’t tell if you’re talking about…

    Macs manage memory and swap in a way that makes them feel much more responsive when you have a lot of common applications open at once (or something like a lot of browser tabs at o…

    I think a large part of the black background choice was to hide the missing bodies; any light past chest level is going to push this into uncanny valley pretty fast because the mod…

    What do you mean by there by default? There are a lot of ways you could send a valid response without including that header or tag, any policies are not one-size-fits all and could…

    I think that’s more or less what this project is working towards: https://hyper.is

    How would you make the GUI work well over SSH, unless you mean having the GUI installed on the client device and only connecting to the host over SSH? A huge part of why I keep my …

    What the parent comment is saying is that you can connect via usb and access the data that way. Of course, the easiest way to see the raw data is to write a python script to plot i…

    Even better than that, while some of them can sync over wifi directly, most of them sync over Bluetooth, to your app which must be logged in, which does nothing except use the phon…

    I built a CMS backed by it to build sites that are mostly data, but have a few text blocks and images, so since all the data entry was in Airtable anyway, moving the rest of the co…

    I paid for it (and merge) even after I started using neovim full time, because I used it for years to learn to code before I got a paid job. Their license terms were kind enough to…
