How does all this interact with html minification? IIRC you can't nest p tags but you can nest li, so does browser just make assumptions about your intent. Is it not better to state your intent as clearly as possible if not for a brows

Hi y'all, today I'm sharing Jot, an offline, source available note taking and personal assistant app. You can read all about it in the blog post. This is definitely an app geared towards privacy and free expression. The main quest

Btw, these social media giants curate content wayyyy more than you'd expect. TikTok curates it's trends and gets it's biggest influencers to engage first. Pinterest seeded it's network with a few noteworthy creators. Eve

Popularity aside, I have been feeling lately that cross-platform and familiarity are reducing in importance. LLMs make it easy to pick up something new. Maybe "right tool for the job" will win more often over "familiarity&quo

This honestly. I honestly think this is so easily solved at the OS/browser level. Apple already does parental controls. Just pass 'Can view adult content' and 'can watch ads' from there to the browser. Don't ev

I'd just describe this job market as competitive and every company appears to be looking for some specific persona now. Believe it or not you could thrive in this job market. For you, I'd say you'll have figure out what you

Fair, but you could throw away numbers more easily in this situation due to data breaches. You could also "update trusted parties" with a new improved scheme overall.

Another solution - drop numeric phone numbers all together and switch to alphanumeric or verified contact only. With numeric, sequential phone numbers you can just robocall all the numbers until you find a victim. Making the search space si

The biggest midwit vibe is throwing everything out when the pendulum swings to no process mode and then adding a whole bunch of process/methodology when that doesn't work. This is 4 year cycle tied to economic conditions Moderatio

Step 1: The main folks you should convince to get onboard are actually the designers. The argument I've seen work pretty well is "having a consistent design means your designer don't need to QA quite as often and it raises th

There are likely ways to have your cake and eat it too. Rather than replace the existing system, consider augmenting it with your own and then eventually, over time replace the existing system. Showing short term and long term wins concurre

At this point GLTF seems pretty darn good and seems broadly usable. It embeds the mesh, textures, animations right in a single file. It can represent a single model or a scene. I also has a binary format. 3d need not be so complicated! We&

I think people forget, it's literally your money. Yea it's theoretically subsidized but the amount of money you put into the system over 40 years is probably more than you'll ever get out of it. - You pay roughly 1-2% of your

Hmmmm interesting. I can see a use case for like a drone or small robot to have one of these attached to add details all over the place. Ok you've convinced me it's cool lol

The size of the printing mechanism is an innovation for sure, but I think after you add up all the other components to make a functioning printer you end up at nearly the same size: a resin vat, space to print, various leveling mechanisms,

The form factor here is cool, but as someone whose been resin printing a bunch lately, the pitch to carry it around in your pocket sounds questionable. 1. Where are you going to store the resin? It isn't good to touch it. Are they also

This is awesome and much needed. Keep going, forget the overly pedantic folks, the vision is great and early results are exciting.

Complexity is a great reason to implement something like this in-house. It's probably better to understand (and fully control) the sharding and transaction mechanism than to trust a third party with such a core piece of infra. As compa

Now seems a good time to point out, the wheel has literally been reinvented over and over again. The wheels of yesterday were terrible. Each version gets better. It's fine, reinvent away folks :)

About 7 years ago now I'd say I had an identity crisis. Startup life is rough whether you're working for someone or on your own. I've done both. I wanted to find work life balance but that stressed me out more. Ultimately, Ji

Finding the right abstraction is hard. To me in seems clear Next is tuned for Vercel Now. If you build in a compatible way it works great, it's a nice "serverless" setup for serving pages. There's a whole range of use ca

Another insidious thing in Next: their middleware is completely sandboxed and you can't use any standard Node functionality. It doesn't matter if you're using vercel now or not, and there's no way to disable this. This i

I think so much of the commentary misses the point. Goals drive focus, they help folks say no and ask "how does project x help get more sign-ups?". If nothing else it's a communication tool. If you want to get another team to

My only advice is, just play around, and try different things. Freelance for a while and charge terribly low amounts of money. Partner up with different types of people on ventures - yea this requires trust and you will get grifted from tim

This was me - made websites for my band, friends bands, made ticketing website for promoter friend, made websites for custom gear companies, ended up in a events startup then to the moon. Yes CS degree happened in the middle of all that too

At this point, I'd pay for iMessage on Android. There's a lot of conversations android users are not a part of because of iMessage.

I'd say yes, I'm seeing big consumer companies switch to it from native these days. If you're just getting started I highly recommend expo. I wrote an article on building a game using it over say unity not too long ago https

Ceramic pans these days seem like a pretty great option - non stick and non toxic. Only trade off is lower heat. I use ceramic mainly then switch to cast iron for high heat
