Very interesting topic, but this LLM structure is instant anthema I just have to stop reading once I smell it.

I'm managing context with codex inside VSCode using different threads. I'm trying to figure out if there are use cases where I'd rather be in this app.

My biggest gripes with the Airtable API for a small project that has a couple of tables with > 100 rows were around pagination and joining the data between the tables which was super slow.

It's a UGC map of Murals and Street Art. I pay ~$60/mo for image hosting fees via Imgix.

> The GA4 data model is also completely different from the GA Universal data model

Which is an abstraction that tries to handle old GA use-cases and the Segment/Amplitude style use-cases but does neither well.

Here some of the sites that have gotten traction in my SERPs lately that I can't stand

They are all scraping Stack Overflow / Github in some fashion

This is going to standardize headless/SPA Shopify builds. Agencies were selling unknowing merchants on the newest hype and then ended up handcuffed to the agency and no internal tech talent. If an agency is not using Hydrogen (within a reasonable timeframe) I would have to look really closely at why.

Something I implemented recently is using rel="preload" to start getting font files before the css file asks for them. Definitely made a difference for me.

For better or worse I care deeply about my lighthouse scores, and I've been tempted by the "evil tips" in the article. I try my best to control my results by using both Pagespeed Insights[1] and WebpageTest[2].

That being said my worst scores are always the result of a reliance on third party tools like Zendesk - which is why I'm so excited about efforts to load third party scripts outside the main thread like partytown[3]

Tim Draper is a major SV personality and an early investor in Theranos lending it legitimacy.

In the world of cron tools I particularly like https://github.com/alseambusher/crontab-ui for a simple GUI to manage my crons - would be interested to hear if there are other handy packages in the space to check out

I'm a Sublime devotee and have been anxiously awaiting this release and the support for Apple silicon. In my unsophisticated benchmarking, 100% worth the wait.

With the same projects open, ST4 is using about half the memory of rosetta ST3.

The time to index my projects went from about 5 minutes to under a minute.

Searching across large projects is instantaneous.

The Squoosh folks are in here so I just want to say thank you it is a fantastic piece of software

As someone who both

- believes in the importance of accessibility and actively responds to real accessibility issues

- has reviewed many ADA lawsuits filed against websites (specifically companies of varying sizes with sites that are ecommerce enabled)

the law needs to be adapted or a landmark case needs to set precedent because right now it's a terrible environment with no real way to avoid speculative lawsuits from ambulance chasing firms.

Love Notion, but the sidebar navigation issue kills me! Notion forces a refresh to update all the time and it collapses all navigation trees.

Also hate the favicon changing since I have notes about third parties and I set the page icon to the logo of the third party.

yeah what the hell this just went off the rails at the end

I very much appreciate the author's approach, and giving a sober perspective on GraphQL. Working within the Shopify ecosystem, they have invested heavily in GraphQL and I don't like the UX, nor do I find the reasoning to promote it over REST particularly convincing. It has been much more difficult to grok GraphQL over REST and I don't think I'm alone.

There are likely specific use cases where GraphQL > REST but the barrier to entry is so much higher that I think you'll continue to see the interest wane[1] unless something dramatic changes

Great article! Another nice resource for picking colors in data visualizations is from Stephen Few: http://www.perceptualedge.com/articles/visual_business_intel...

The tab won't go away, but it will trigger a fresh http request (and thus any input in a form will disappear), I believe the behavior is the same on iOS for iPhone.

When I lived in the bay area I always said the biggest hikes in cost of living were the rent (obviously) and the haircuts (surprisingly!)

> The grad might be a customer contact collecting and organizing customer issues before presenting them to internal subject matter experts, and then presenting those findings back to the client

This might describe how technical consulting is done at big firms where the output is a product, but when the output is strategic documents... this is grunt work done by the front line analysts with a generic playbook. There is no "behind the scenes" strategy work like there is for dev. Maybe there is a lower analyst or intern that doesn't interface with the customer.

as a heavy desktop IG web user, this is a weird UX thing that bugs the crap out of me

This is insane! You could kind of see Epic ripping this off and browsing a Reddit museum with your Fortnite character. It reminds me of Playstation Home too.. but the fact it's so easy to jump in really alters how this could work.

I tried writing a breakdown of image formatting for the web (specifically ecommerce) that mostly focused on JPG vs PNG. It's still WIP but if anyone wants to check it out or has feedback please reach out. It's specifically not blogspam, more of a working document that I hope to be able to share with clients: https://aloagency.com/blog/preparing-images-for-web

The combination of headers, ripped images, scroll jacking, and that it is posted from the source give this article a very blog spammy feel, optimized for that exact google search.

The iPhone 6s continues to be the best piece of hardware I've ever owned. I imagine folks with an SE feel similarly.

You did a great job explaining that in the article, and I'm not trying to muck up the conversation with a generic swat down. Just specifically interested in that particular result. Also it's likely your hard work gets reblogged into "5 things you MUST do to improve SEO!"

Awesome post. My main issue is with the BBB reference data... to me that smells like correlation not causation. It implies a level of detail and effort spent on the page. I have a hard time believing that the reference to BBB itself serves to improve rankings...

One benefit of using a VPN was that Netflix provided shows with far more subtitle options in regions outside the USA. I never understood why if the subtitles existed for a particular language that they wouldn't be present in the USA version of Netflix. For example, now that you can't use a VPN with Netflix I haven't been able to access German subtitles from the USA. Is there a way around this?

Of my list, which I'm still parsing, I'm seeing a TON of local car dealerships and realtors. What I really wish is I could see the supplier that's selling my data to these folks who are 100% not running their own Facebook ad campaigns. Actually - I might reach out to the car dealerships and try to figure out what agencies they are using.
