Congratulations on the work. Some nits/notes: - Browser history seems to go in a circle (at least in Chrome); try use the browser's native "back" arrow a few times after clicking through the link you shared from HN. - Tr

Are there any resources out there that anyone can recommend for learning testing in the way the author describes? In-the-trenches experience (especially "good" or "doing it right" experience) can be hard to come by; and

Maybe cursive in a "Comic Sans in the default 'cursive' fallback font on Windows" kind of way.

Absolutely right. I even find that 300ms in UI animations is still too long, but like TFA says, it depends on how often that piece of UI is used. Great Raycast example.

Hey, my first "career" was also in theater! Strong agreement. I can confirm for other readers that the day I realized this --- "Oh, rejection means nothing!" --- was a weird day. It takes a weight off. And it is true acr

That would be the media query; sort of a long-hand way. I learned about the color function for settings the vars from the article, never saw those in use before.

DevTools in Firefox and Chrome both have a `prefers-color-scheme` override built in, no extension required.

Thanks for posting. I was just using Worldtimebuddy[0] yesterday to get times for about 15 different cities and order them. A single view in WTB caps out at 10 or so locations, so I had to manually manage them. This is a much nicer/mor

I also made pretty heavy use of plugins to manage PCs, NPCs, encounters, items (!!), custom tables, maps, and setting details in a single campaign. Led to a lot of bug reports for the D&D-specific plugins, but Dataview worked like a cha

Hey, thanks for the reply. Big fan of your work! Cheers.

Have you ever tried the Dataview plugin? It allows inline blocks in the `key:: value` format, as well as frontmatter-based data (sort of what Bases are doing) and probably even more.

Wow, I remember when this feature was planned/announced. It's great to see first class support for the Dataview-type workflows. I hope the API has support to allow extensions---I see that it is on the Roadmap[0]. I'm particul

GitHub recommended this repo as trending. It's essentially a bunch of Markdown files with prompts to copy to "jailbreak" various LLMs from many providers (with some older ones too, an interesting quasi-archive). I'm curi

I have tried Math Academy after seeing a post here a few years ago (I think it was to Justin's blog? --- he's referred to early on in TFA). Echoing what others say: it was very cool, went quickly at first, but within a few weeks,

I can say that it's definitely working on me! I hadn't heard of Krea before, and this is a great introduction to your work. Thanks for sharing it.

> I see so many people loving Gibson and crediting him for inventing the genre whole cloth, but of course he didn't! None of us write anything without standing on the shoulders of those who came before, building on the works and ide

Off-topic-ish, do you have any solarpunk media (books, movie, whatever) you can recommend? I won't even take a crack at trying to understand all of the time/reality things happening in the Jackpot trilogy.

I think I'm misunderstanding you; Gibson doesn't live in California. I took the quote as Gibson believing that nobody at all can imagine the past as it was , objectively, but only their own personal past, colored as it is by al

Long, but a good read, though I started skimming around the (broken?) [IMG] tags. Great history and clarification of the source of what "we" imagine as cyberpunk and what that means. Reading this in the context of recent discussio
