   I’m ready for Apple to swipe the basic idea and roll it into the next version of macOS. Gels nicely with the spatial widget work they do on visionOS. Deprecate stage manager while you’re on it.

    Please test your websites in Safari. Almost all of your iOS users use it by default, and the desktop experience is pretty close to the mobile experience, so testing is easy. That scroll effect is jank city for me (yeah yeah works fine in Ch

    Wow: the Sinclair ZX81 launched in the UK in 1981 for around £49.95 as a kit (£50) and £69.95 assembled, making it incredibly cheap, and later in the US as the Timex Sinclair 1000 for $99.95 (kit) or $149.95 (assembled) Cheap for a 1980s co

    I maintain a few rails apps and Claude Code has written 95% of the code for the last 4 months. I deploy regularly. I make my own PRs then have Copilot review them. Sometimes it finds criticisms, and I copy and paste that chunk of critique i

    That depends. We got one paid for by the seller of our house and in the first year it paid for an HVAC repair and plumber. I renewed it once for $600/year and wound up getting our refrigerator replaced in-kind, probably a $1500-2000 ma
