agos··on Suits Are Better Tech Than Modern Clothes
A tailored suit and shirt costs an order of magnitude more than a pair of jeans and a t shirt, so yeah, no shit?
agos··on How our vibe coded website looks like a designer made it
There’s a nice Apple session from this year’s WWDC about this where they suggest using the new resizing feature of the simulator (born to support the foldable iPhone) to have a “drawer” for all the controls and tools to fine tune your UX. I’ll be stealing that for the web as well
agos··on Unknown number of Texas voter registrations went unprocessed due to DPS error
do people regularly get purged from voting registries in France?
agos··on Unknown number of Texas voter registrations went unprocessed due to DPS error
voter fraud around here is mostly people buying votes, not so much having people registered who didn't have the requirements
agos··on Unknown number of Texas voter registrations went unprocessed due to DPS error
my country (Italy) is also full of immigrants, but it's not a huge problem.

Once I turned 18 I was automatically enrolled in the voting registries, as was everybody else once they got the requirements (18 years, citizenship, no pending penal law issues, etc). While there have been small scale issues, I've never heard of tens of thousands of people purged erroneously from the registries (while it is a regular occurrence in the USA), and no one I know has ever had to do something to be eligible to vote once they had the requirements. I'm sure it happens that people for whatever reason are not automatically registered, but it's not a common occurrence at all.

> given the importance of the vote, why would you not want these simple procedures to ensure that voting is done only by those allowed to

because these simple procedures are not necessary to achieve that objective

agos··on Nobody Asked for a Crab Chair
multiple articles talk about it climbing chairs, but there's no video of that - is it really capable of doing so?

guy has been CEO for like 3 weeks, this is not his decision. Let's see how he does
agos··on What Is RLCD? The Secret Behind Jev
not overcalling, it’s rife with claudisms
agos··on Unknown number of Texas voter registrations went unprocessed due to DPS error
the entire concept of "voter registration" (and associated shenanigans) is so alien to my European brain that I fail to see any reason why the richest country in the world does things this way other than voter suppression. What am I missing?
agos··on Six-year-old breaks women's world Rubik's Cube record [video]
"affirmative action" has been in use since the early 60s, are you that old?
agos··on Six-year-old breaks women's world Rubik's Cube record [video]
that's a debate as old as affirmative action policies, which have existed since a long time. Calling them "actually discrimination" is a bit reductive

come on, you can do better than hurl insults at fellow programmers
agos··on Data Protection Commission fines Google €403M over processing of location data
Fines like these are not an absolution though
agos··on Sex, AI, and the Apocalypse
For those out of the loop like me, what is the “everything” they were right about? Is there like a list?
agos··on The most important product decision is what you don't build
that's why timeboxing is such a powerful choice. You decide you ship on date x, and the scope of the work adapts to the time available, instead of the opposite
agos··on The most important product decision is what you don't build
truly, but you seldom have full control over the input of that pipeline
agos··on AI Safety Is Mostly a Sex Cult
is your comment satire/irony? I can't tell

Hey sorry to be the debugging guy in the comments, but maybe your network issues could be related to iCloud relay? I’ve had similar issues

Not even the version explicitly designed to run better?

hallucinations are not wrong answers, that's why we use a different term

I don't know if they changed it since your comment, but it's all just text to me
agos··on We got admin access to Baseten's production GitHub
see, non-generational companies often miss the chance to turn penetration testing into a marketing opportunity
agos··on The CSS Zen Garden dream, finally shipped
tables are a very logical way of organizing _tabular_ content. they're a terrible tool for layout, accessibility wise

Apple maps still has the globe!
agos··on The UN challenges five centuries of cartography
I was under the impression that they had a globe only when zoomed out, then transitions to web Mercator as you zoom in. Is it not the case? FYI Apple Maps also shows a globe

it was also terrible, but in a different way

> The performance gains in native compared to RN (new architecture) are minimal for normal UIs (except games)

And yet most apps feels distinctly different than native.

> The most valuable feature which RN have is OTA updates, this has been a game changer for us and many fast moving companies. Ability to release and iterate at light speed. On native you are on the mercy of the app stores for review

That's the real killer feature

> Silos of bugs on native - When you go native you might encounter bugs which appear only on either platform.

This still very much happens with RN on anything bigger than a toy app

> The project management of native teams is not always in sync - The teams often drift apart bevy iOS team might need 2 weeks just to make the app compatible with the new iPhone Fold (Duo) or Android team might encountered a blocker. Keeping them in sync for new features is really hard.

Speaking of which, what is the iPhone Duo support situation of RN right now?

I wonder how it is possible that Fastly deployed a canary node and did not notice it was only responding 502s until PyPI alerted them
