My airtag in my luggage saved my ass last week. Was able to efficiently explain the issue to Delta & got my bag within 4 hours delivered straight to my hotel. I will not be travelling without one

TaskTXT (https://tasktxt.com/) looks to be a really interesting product in this space

The creator made a few videos on the motivation & implementation of it. He goes into such great detail in crafting subtle almost unnoticable animations in the app.

Why do you say that?

Honestly, one of the last people I'd have thought would have been profiled by the New Yorker. And Geoguessr is only one part of his channels charm. His channel reminds me of early Youtube, authentic & entertaining.

If you havent watched his "How to not travel through Europe" series, its what all travel shows should aspire to be. Truly unique

That definitely works if you have two functioning hands, and some may not. I would love a product like this.

I can't recommend the 99% spinoff podcast "According To Need" enough, really illustrates the situation well & humanizes the problem in a way that isnt done enough. https://99percentinvisible.org/need/

Time and time again I try to switch to Firefox. But it always seems to fall short (for me at least).

I rely too much on separate profiles to disconnect work-related browsing from personal browsing. Separate bookmarks, sessions, browser plugins, sync preferences etc...

A UI that's as powerful is literally all that is needed for me anyway. Its such a shame they've neglected the Profile Manager.

Good 99% episode on this style of house. Very hard to decorate and furnish https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/bubble-houses/

Yeah I have. Containers just didn't fit into my workflow unfortunately. I found it more difficult to separate bookmarks/plugins etc..

For example I dont need every plugin I use for work while I browse the web & vice-versa.

I just want profiles in Firefox to be as prominent a feature as it is in Google Chrome.

> In Ireland, the term "British Isles" is controversial, and there are objections to its usage. The Government of Ireland does not officially recognise the term, and its embassy in London discourages its use.

Despite the seemingly altruistic reason for wanting my email, I'm not willing to do so.

Perhaps you could make the download button still work without that requirement?

Switched to Fastmail in October of last year in an attempt to de-googlify myself.

It truly is no-nonsense but the speed of the UI blew me away. Opening an email was snappy, no obnoxious loading spinners; it was a huge breath of fresh air.

Its almost like I didn't realise that web email clients could be fast & that Gmail was "good enough".

It also in its (albeit) small way could push ISPs to get their act together. Perhaps thats a bit naive to say but if this sort technology is available, this will help push the boat forward in terms of underlying infrastructure.

On that point, I think the next innovation to come to front end development is to declaratively think about states using finite state machines & statecharts.

A concept that also has existed before, but with XState, I think a lot of developers will latch onto this paradigm.

The ability to think or plan a feature/apps states in the beginning rather than imperitavely or as an afterthought during development is really valuable. And perhaps if we're dealing with something more visual at the beginning, its easier to demonstrate what will happen if I click "X". and then it becomes easier to spec out & to involve PMs/designers and QA.

"That information was just resting in our servers"

If Apple had the appetite to let that M1 on the iPad run macOS I'd buy that in a second, just for the ability to develop.

The iPad is already so versatile, adding the ability to do my job or just to update a small side project every now and again (waiting at the airport etc).

I understand the hesitation in doing so, but its so frustrating. Given that the iPad now has a keyboard and mouse if you want it & a CPU that we know is fast, just unleash it!

Probably when * is doing something markedly better than Vite.

I'd love to move to Firefox, but I havent committed to fully because the Profiles and the corresponding switching mechanism in Chrome is just too good.

I don't want to use containers to manage the different work/personal profiles I have and the lack of easy way to toggle between the two (a keyboard shortcut) has been a deal-breaker every time I tried to switch.

The profile manager in Firefox is long overdue a revamp.

Really interested as to why its using Jest-like assertions rather than just Jest itself?

It is possible, for instance, to extend the runner with an extra set of matcher that are out there & available to Jest?

The "The War with Grandpa" episode will live in infamy

Does the EU law make exemptions for unfinished products? They're still providing you a product.

L'impératrice are fantastic! Melody's Echo Chamber are worth a listen too

Nothing released for a while. Nicolas Godin is releasing some solo stuff

If you wanted to build this with Apple Music, you'd need a $99 developers account for the privilege

I look forward to the day where people can improve upon their project based on gained knowledge without passive aggressive comments about the lack of back compat.

This is how software improves. You are not forced to upgrade to the next version.

I just dont see. Beatuiful is extremely subjective, so the title of this is inherently incorrect. And beautiful they may be, but they are not usable, consistent, or friendly. And the ones that are close to being good, have niggling issues like spacing between items, which drives me nuts
