It's the kind of thing that looks cool in demos, but is annoying when you have to put up with it everyday. I usually have all animations on my phones turned off. I turned them on yesterday to test something and I'm already getting

Didn't he start that campaign at a conference for WordPress developers funded by WP engine? I don't have any insight into what they did or didn't contribute, but it seems their obligation was zero and their level was quite a

I don't disagree but it's not like I can turn back time. That said, it does seem that brain plasticity is better for older people than commonly thought, so never write off learning. It takes longer, but you might balance that by h

It's funny though how different people respond to learning music theory differently. I started on guitar when I was 19. I played for a long time at campfire level. When my kids started learning music I also learnt a lot, and now I know

I was interested in this because it happened the last time I returned to NZ, but I hadn't seen it before. There are several approved methods and it depends on the airline. The method that doesn't involve spraying with you onboard

Her actions don't come across as those of a conspiracy theorist. The article actually doesn't go much into her personal situation or life story. Her job was getting kids involved in a sport. Is that an area we really need to force

wt is a useful little tool for helping with git worktrees: https://github.com/timvw/wt I use it's config to copy in some non-repo config and then hooks to start an agent doing analysis.

A small typescript util rewritten into rust is going to look so similar that I don't think this will be a problem. As the parent commenter said, maybe not for a larger project. But rust semantics are really close to typescript for the

More likely a second hand book store in Newtown is an old and draughty building. Running a heater in there would be the same as running one outdoors. Or she just gets cold. My daughter wears those kind of gloves all winter regardless of how

Reading her Wikipedia page, she's given huge amounts to all kinds of charities. Easy to get swept up in the whole pro/anti conversation, but even the one charity that specifically serves women only rape victims is doing good thing

Yes I expect they started digging those missile bunkers 2000 years ago knowing that one day someone, somewhere, would invent something they could launch at passing ships.

I read it as 1873 to 1877 for North America and most of Europe, but contining until 1879 in France and the UK.

Living space per person has tripled since the 1950s for Americans. House sizes have gone up and family sizes down. I do notice that new houses seem to be built to maximize house size and leave little for the garden. I assume most people wan

They haven't made any more moves in that direction since the store appeared. If anything, it's use seems to have declined since then. For awhile I would download a few apps from there, but when I did a fresh install this year I di

I didn't really understand your comment. More than 50% of Americans poll as supporting Ukraine, with something like an even split between too much, too little, and enough, meaning sentiment is generally weighted that the US should be i

I made https://newsagents.app and I ended up using the extract API from kagi and falling back to cloudflares browser API for problem pages. That looks to be more cost efficient than firecrawl, but I could run this and get more e

They didn't take anything, they just sell it hosted. And surely they only got 50% of the market share by doing a better job of it? I also note they have some contributions, for example they seem to be the developers of faustjs.org so t

I'm not sure we know what people want though. After terrorist attacks politicians seem to decide what people want, tell people what they want, but rarely, if ever, offer a referendum on the subject. And on this alone they also get bipa

I've made my own bread for many years now. Every other day I make a loaf. Whenever I do buy one, even from a nice bakery, I'm disappointed and my kids hassle me to make it instead of buying. It's not really relevant to the st

It makes sense though for the price to fall (in relation to inflation) when the general public got into gaming though. The cost of development is unchanged whether you sell 10,000 or 1 million. Which is my argument against the microtransact

Didn't they hold a referendum on an alternative voting system and it failed? I'd moved away by that time, but I seem to remember they basically chose a bad and confusing system to make sure it didn't pass. MMP seems to work v

Every job is the means to an end really. But if people are taking jobs at your employer and then feel unmotivated and are trying to get a new job elsewhere as soon as they can, doesn't that point to your employment situation being part
