As someone who travels a lot, SMS based app stuff is one of the most annoying common problems. It’s easy to find a way to get internet anywhere, but getting an sms message at a phone number is way harder (or easy but expensive); bonus point

JavaScript driven SPA is fine as long as everyone remembers that the entire and only point at the end of the day is to create HTML.

That’s why you send them the link to the prototype, which opens in their browser, not the figma link. That’s like half the point of prototyping software vs graphic design / illustration software! Non-designers want to see “the site” op

Garmin watches can be used this way, but it’s not quite as easy; you can even mount the watch as a USB drive and access a lot of the data that way if you want. I did hit one issue once with maps on my fénix 7 where I had to plug it in to a

I disagree slightly; I think there’s an important thing here which was a little bit glossed over in the article. The original code established a pattern and left space for where and how to add code to handle edge cases, when they arose, whe

And the parent comment said “47% wasted power … extra second … would offset half of that” and 47% of four seconds is about two, half of that is one second, so I’d say that was shockingly accurate, wow!

But based on this it seems like the right comparison is between a three year old iPhone and a brand new mid-level android because they’ll last you the same amount of time, and three year old iPhones aren’t very expensive (though it depends

That seems kind of odd, my iPhone 12 Pro has zero issues with things like that and it’s three years old. I did upgrade a few weeks ago because the iPhone 15 cameras are amazing and I care a lot about that but I honestly had zero performance

You can’t “fix” a leak, you have to revoke the involved secrets. Editing / deleting the answer is irrelevant.

There are several states where you can form an LLC without making your information public. In New Mexico you don’t even need to tell the state. I can’t tell if you’re talking about the US though, if you’re referring to other countries it ma

Macs manage memory and swap in a way that makes them feel much more responsive when you have a lot of common applications open at once (or something like a lot of browser tabs at once), but if you’re literally doing a single task that uses

I think a large part of the black background choice was to hide the missing bodies; any light past chest level is going to push this into uncanny valley pretty fast because the modeling ends at the chest like talking Greek busts. Totally ag

What do you mean by there by default? There are a lot of ways you could send a valid response without including that header or tag, any policies are not one-size-fits all and could be different. Maybe you’re using a full-stack framework whi

All those points equally apply to web apps and that’s exactly why web apps are becoming the default starting point for any new product.

How would you make the GUI work well over SSH, unless you mean having the GUI installed on the client device and only connecting to the host over SSH? A huge part of why I keep my workflow 100% terminal / TUI is because I know I can us

What the parent comment is saying is that you can connect via usb and access the data that way. Of course, the easiest way to see the raw data is to write a python script to plot it, so it’s not exactly the most user friendly, but it’s tech

Even better than that, while some of them can sync over wifi directly, most of them sync over Bluetooth, to your app which must be logged in, which does nothing except use the phone’s internet connection to upload the data to garmin, and th

I built a CMS backed by it to build sites that are mostly data, but have a few text blocks and images, so since all the data entry was in Airtable anyway, moving the rest of the content there made sense and now lots of small dev tasks can b

And it was worth it to give up the $4-5k / month instead of going to an employer without a COI policy and keeping the dual income streams?

The vim equivalent of that is visual mode, eg `vwd` which is exactly the same structure as you’re saying you want from kakoune. So vim is verb-noun for simple things, but if you want, you can use visual mode if you’re doing something more c

Sublime with first-party, all-annoyances-smoothed-over LSP support would be an amazing product.

I paid for it (and merge) even after I started using neovim full time, because I used it for years to learn to code before I got a paid job. Their license terms were kind enough to let me do that, so I honored the spirit of it and paid them

If you had to, you could go from typescript to JavaScript overnight in a large project, whereas no similar escape hatch exists for C#. As for the frontend, you have to have so JavaScript somewhere, it’s unavoidable, so typescript is just a

I think it’s a lot like Excel and databases; in a way excel is often used as a sort of a “no-code” database. There will always be use cases for the real thing, and there will always be people who reach for the easy option, and a lot of them

Depends on where you are, in a lot of the world a new sim is a few dollars from any convenience store on every corner, whereas I have no idea where I’d have to go to even talk to someone about an eSIM.

React is a little bit painful and massive overkill for web forms actually (compared to other approaches). It’s the fighting with it that’s the issue; my experience is that a lot of devs go in to “force this stupid framework to work” mode an

That’s not totally true though. React, used correctly, lets you use and share a mental model where you have clearly defined the minimum complete information required to display any state of the app, and separately you have a set of simple f
