I also found dndkit and built a very complex/robust drag and drop form builder with it. It gave me nice abstractions for custom collision detection without worrying about the browser implementation. Highly recommended.

This is how you ruin remote work for everyone. Remote work is about trust.

Congrats on shipping Christos, Damien, and Nodar! I really like this idea. I have this problem at my company.

Two questions:

First, we’re using Postgres and some of our tables use JSON. Would Synth be able to generate realistic JSON? Sometimes this is configuration (which would need to be straight copied) and other times it would be data (which would need to keep the same keys but have generated values). Is this use case supported?

Second, I’m concerned about giving Synth access to my data as much of it is sensitive. I understand that you need access to production data to offer the service. What can you tell me about your data security to help me feel more comfortable? (i.e. What kind of data would you have stored on your end? How does the CLI work? etc)

Congrats again and good luck!

I’ve seen worse

Just popping in to recommend Kyle Simpson’s “You Don’t Know JS” series. He breaks down “this” and other potentially confusing JS concepts in an easy-to-understand way. https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/READM...

I’ve struggled with this for years and missed important events as a result.

I went to the doctor and got a small prescription of anxiety medication and it helped me tremendously. I take a small dose once I get in my seat on the plane.

It doesn’t make me drowsy or feel very different but the extreme levels of terror that I felt before don’t affect me now. I still have to be calm and rational as I’m preparing for my flight but the fear is completely manageable now.

I’ve even taken flights without any medication since and feel so much more at peace. I would have never believed that would be possible before medication.

Your mileage may vary but it has given me my ability (and desire!) to travel back.

I appreciate being able to read the words the way they were spoken. It doesn’t seem inherently wrong or awkward to me.

I had the same thought as I was reading the article. My experience living in Houston for a decade was that no one assigned any special meaning to "out" and "over".

Thanks. That clip is the confirmation I’ve been looking for since the live stream ended. I agree that it’s still an amazing achievement!

This looks really interesting! What’s the primary use case for this? I read the README and didn’t see any discussion about why this was made.

I really enjoyed this piece. We don't use .dev on my team so it allowed me to read it as purely educational. And it really was informative and surprisingly entertaining!

Ditto.

Connecting is far and away the biggest pain I've had with my AirPods. I don't have a problem with their charge (despite using them all day) or with them falling out or getting lost.

I bought them to remove the hassle of the cables getting knotted and caught on things and, on that front, it's been amazing. I frequently forget I have them in my ears at all. I even fell asleep wearing them the other night and woke up to them still securely in my ears.

If Apple could just improve the connecting and disconnecting experience, I would be absolutely thrilled.

I also highly recommend Kyle Simpson’s “You Don’t Know JS” series. Very very good.

All I could think about was Russ Hanneman.

> interestingly Google doesn’t seem to be eager to provide info on how many megapixels the sensor has.

Whenever it showed shots from the camera POV in the promo video, it looked like the pictures would be pretty low res.

Ryan Peterson was on the Startup School Radio. Seems like a really nice guy. I’m happy for them!

I've never seen an isochronic map before. Those are legit!

I used https://germ.io for a looong time. It's a really good implementation of this idea.

Yup. That's the trade I guess :)

I tend to leave a pretty decent amount of money in my Venmo account. I consider it my "play" money. Usually, I have my buddy use his reward credit card and I Venmo my part of the bill (mutually beneficial). Having a card would make things a lot simpler for me.

What is the browser support for web components? I worry that tools like this are only targeting the last two versions of the major vendors.

I really enjoyed this article and the one about the ambient notification cube! Well-written. It's nice to hear someone else talk about how hard it it to stay consistent with worthwhile projects while maintaining a day job. Congrats on sticking it out!

I use Insomnia everyday. Thank you for making it! I shared it with my coworkers and described it as the REST client I would make if I were to make a REST client. Happy to hear it's working out for you :)

I just heard about the "Million Dollar Homepage" for the first time last week. Would this idea (or one like it) work today? Making a million dollars for something so bizarre, fun, and straightforward sounds amazing. Can anyone reference other attempts at similar ideas?

I've had a similar experience. I've loved the team I work for, the projects I've built, and the opportunity to have impact. I would not be as happy somewhere else.

The tracks were surprising until I thought about all the idiots I encounter on regulars roads. Then it made perfect sense.

100%.

The UI is insanely difficult to use. I frequently find myself wondering how to do the most basic tasks.

If it weren't for Halo, I'd be gone a long time ago.

"Start Small, Stay Small" is a great book that really goes into detail about this. Highly recommend it!

The page about technology says, "Our sensors observe that the cyclist has extended their left arm. Detecting the cyclist's hand signal, our software predicts that the cyclist will move to the left side of the lane." This suggests to me that they're trying to deal with situations like the ones you've brought up.

I'm all about Chillstep. Repetitive beats and sparse lyrics helps me focus like a champ. I've converted several coworkers to it over the years.
