Thought the same. On a side note, the Sketch website is a hot mess. Love the Sketch product, but this... this is something.

You are missing the final key phase: everything gets crappier and we just accept it. There is no denying that LLMs are the future. But, much like the SEO optimized Internet and offshored goods, everything just sucks a little more.

Looks nice. Soft to walk on. Great for kids and pets. Fairly inexpensive to maintain. Never really understood why people don't like lawns TBH.

Also impractical simply b/c non-commercial mowers cannot cut long grass.

The explanation is a little more complicated and varies by sector but is far from unsubstantiated.

I certainly wouldn't argue with how anyone else raises their children, but I think it has been hugely beneficial to restrict access to technology early in my kids' lives. It can be introduced as they get older without worrying abo

Learned that the hard way with my kids. Google Family Link is awesome. Apple Screen Time is adequate.

I don't think everyone agrees.

I think most people (not devs/designers) view a laptop as something that costs around $750. That is why Windows still has a huge marketshare. Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, Microsoft all have laptops that have solid build quality, OLED screens

Yeah, hope it is a stepping off point for launching a better private insurance company as well.

I think it is Surface envy. The iPads are just not very capable in productivity scenarios and Macs are not very flexible. So, if you want a touchscreen device for leisure and a productive device work work, you end up with two machines with

Do they intend to attract US interest? When I see a country specific TLD, I automatically assume that the company is focused on a specific region.

Strongly disagree. I think there are certainly use cases around video and 3D design that performance is _the most important metric_. But, hardware performance has not been an issue for general computing or software development in a few yea

Apple on the desktop is not in a good space. If you take performance out of the equation, the new Pro laptops just look and feel years behind what Microsoft is doing with Windows 11 and the Surface. MacOS was really fantastic a few years

Same here. Except for the cable part. I really like Google TV but, I am not going to buy new hardware for it. Hulu is good enough, plus they have some good exclusives coming back.

This. But, I would extend it to say that if you are solo dev it may also make sense to just use base JS to get stuff out quicker. If you have a team, then frameworks start making more sense b/c it extends best practices farther into th

Very cool design. Matches well with the name. In my mind, Radicle invokes the design of the 90s (skids, grunge, hip-hop). This isn't quite that but it still works.

I love this stack. I recently added AWS SAM to the mix as well so that I can automate deployments. I have always wondered why Route 53 was so expensive relative to the other services. I have a collection of low traffic sites that I run fo

Exactly. Google enables these content farms making it more difficult for actual people to make money from their knowledge. It is a mess with an easy solution.
21.
by madoublet 6y ago
They certainly don't. They are a private company and can do whatever they want. But, Google was much better before content farms. You could find unique, original content by actual people. Google could easily fix this by devaluing s

Technical docs seem to be pretty safe for now. But, any popular search produces a lot of web farms: recipes, how-to articles, best of, etc.

by madoublet 6y ago
Google search is broken and it has fundamentally broken the web. Every search now is just pages and pages of content farms. If I can tell a content farm within a few seconds of loading a page, surely Google can as well. So, unless this new

My opinion comes strictly as an indy dev with very limited time and resources. So, any breaking change is frustrating.

I can't speak to React. But, both Vue and Angular have seen dramatic changes over the last few years.

Framework churn is real. I no longer recommend JS frameworks simply b/c the opinion of the framework developer drastically changes over time. So, you are constantly re-writing completely valid and working code to keep up with the late

I think what is not mentioned with any of the big SPA frameworks is the amount of time you invest in the churn between versions. After dealing with this in Angular for a number of years, I ended up going with stock JavaScript for my recent

I think it is just nostalgia for when the Internet was still young and interesting. Google made it easier and much faster to get to good, useful content. Now, it is just a mess. SEO/SEM folks beat Google. Now, no matter what you sea

I don't think the announcement has anything to do with the Surface lineup. I expect that to be around for awhile.

I recently shutdown my open source project (respondcms.com). I spent over 5 years building it and was able to scrape some revenue out of support contracts, installations, and theme sales (~$100-300 /month). But, I never got to the poi
