Sony broke the Canon/Nikon duopoly of professional, digital cameras. They put out a mid-level mirrorless camera and rode it out. Today, I see Sony kits everywhere like on sidelines, press pools, and studios. But I'm not a Sony inv

This is a skill I learned as a coffee shop supervisor and youth camp counselor, and now I really practice it on Slack with half-interested product owners. - Always describe tasks in the positive. (Never describe tasks in the negative.) - DO

It seems like the wrong tool for the job to me, but I was curious and thought about it a little: After initial page load, a service worker could intercept all the HTMX app's AJAX requests, but it could only work with what's alread

Waymo cancels cars when they are unable to get to you in a reasonable time. The service will not resend a car automatically, so the user needs to babysit the app until they’re actually in the car. I’ve seen this twice in the last week. In P
