PHP 6 was never released ;) Got stuck in development hell and they went straight to 7.

I have the same feedback. Very creative and fun game but it’s giving me flashbacks to years of looking for mismatched curly braces and parentheses in code.

There’s a great app called Bartender that does this. I’ve been using it for over 10 years. Very stable.

2 people (one claims he voted for Trump in 2016)

Also a small number of people who have actually “attacked” Teslas

That’s unfortunate since the Rogue is pretty awful in terms of build quality. Popular in the US though

According to many economists, this is a major reason why the tariffs won’t work.

Ah interesting—I understand the aversion to seeing his name (especially right now). But I prefer to always show the name of the current president. Can you think of any _other_ way I could mitigate this?

Good call! This is until inauguration, which is technically when the president’s term ends

Great suggestion. And decline the inevitable decision to sacrifice or hinder open-source functionality to bolster your cloud ambitions.

You can look at Gatsby for a lesson here. They prioritized their team building the cloud offering and prioritized Gatsby Cloud for features that everyone was asking for like incremental builds, allowing Next to gain a foothold.

Then they sold to Netlify which has fully killed it. Will never forgive Netlify for that.

Can confirm—I made a smart chess set like this years back by soldering Hall effect sensors and wires manually to a wood board for 64 squares. Every new soldered connection feels exponential—totally makes sense they didn’t do it this way. I would’ve probably done 4 4x4 PCBs instead so a single damaged PCB could be swapped out.

Most Tesla protests have been peaceful. There have been THOUSANDS of them the past few months in cities across the US. You’re cherry-picking the violent ones that get much louder reporting.

I highly recommend using Alfred. I’ve been using it since before Spotlight came out, tried and then disabled Spotlight, and went back to Alfred. It’s extremely configurable but highly usable out of the box. Sort of like creating your own CLI shortcuts to open files, apps, copy things to the clipboard, etc.

Exactly. Tesla has also ultimately provided him with the funding he’s used to threaten US politicians with funding their opponents in upcoming primaries if they fail to fall in line. Tesla is where most of this money comes from.

He’s spent time taking credit for Tesla’s successes. He doesn’t get to separate his personality from the company when it’s suddenly convenient to do so.

On my Subaru the “full auto” HVAC mode automatically switches it to outside air. So I never use it, because I inhale more exhaust and pollen. Pretty bad design for an otherwise well-designed car.

What’s also terrible is when someone adds “PULL” in standalone adhesive letters on one side of a glass door. There’s no backing on it and our brains can easily read the word “PULL” even when it’s backwards, so if I read it first I will pull from the push side.

Hey HN!

I had this idea the other night and decided to put it together this morning.

My motivations were to give myself an easy way to check how long is left in Trump’s presidency while providing myself (and others) with some inspirational quotes to encourage those of us who need it to “hang in there”.

This was really fun to make; I got to flex some creative design skills I haven’t used in a long time. And it was a good opportunity to create a completely skeuomorphic design, which I haven’t done in many years. The stack is a basic Next.js static site with a handful of NPM packages like `react-countup` and `date-fns`, deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Believe me, many of us wish we were on the metric system.

I do a lot of large carpentry projects for fun and wood is produced in inch and foot dimensions—and the most common “beam”, a 2x4, is actually 1.5”x3.5”. You can buy “dimensional lumber” that’s actually 2”x4”, but that’s rare and expensive to find. So putting two 2x4s together doesn’t even make a 4x4 (you end up with 3”x3.5”; a 4x4 is 3.5”x3.5”).

Anyways, as I’m doing calculations I’m measuring things like 5/8” or 9/16” and then adding or subtracting large fractions in my head. It’s absolutely stupid.

Let alone converting between different units makes most people unable to imagine the relative size of things in distance, weight, or volume. I really believe the US education system would benefit if we switched to metric. It almost happened in the 1970s.

It’s possible. But if he thinks his company will benefit (like by launching the things into Space) then he probably won’t. Sad that this is where we are. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Thanks for the recommendation; I’ll check it out!

I love that this podcast only comes every two weeks. Some (like Software Engineering Daily) are far too often so I either feel the paradox of choice or that I’m missing out.

I don’t believe this to be true at all; very early-stage startups could have a CTO who is doing much of the coding to get things off the ground.

Also, Fractional CTOs are a thing ;) Some companies can benefit from a CTO who is not full-time: for example, many medium-sized publishers. The CTO role and its functions are still necessary even if the company cannot afford to hire a full-time CTO or would rather commit that budget elsewhere.

You won’t be penalized by Google based purely on it being a region- or country-level TLD. However, if you are trying to attract users outside of the EU, they may be less likely to click when they see the .eu TLD. Clickthrough rate on the SERP is a major signal to Google on how to rank a result for a given query.

> No surprise there, considering the original design of HTML was for presenting information, not for interactive applications.

Even in this we’re just HTML displaying information, there’s effectively this second application (Google Translate) changing the structure of the original application’s XML, which would still break display (or XPATHs) in a “normal HTML presenting information” scenario.

It requires you to sign into an account though.

There’s a poison called Rat-X that only affects rodents. It will affect squirrels though.

Bitcoin is so far now from being used as cash. It WAS our best shot.

The Trump administration has stated that the CDC and other public health organizations cannot release any data or statements without first running them through the organization. So these public health orgs and the general public have not been communicating like they should during such a disaster. It’s insane and because of this we’re only at the tip of the bird flu iceberg.

Send help. Most of us didn’t sign up for this.

Super interesting! So the idea is more complex words normally have more syllables, right?

I would just kill the scrollbar styling if it’s breaking the site in common browsers. Styling the scrollbar is absolutely a nice-to-have—more important to have people able to read the content. Otherwise, what’s the point?

Even stainless steel ;)
