The $1 hotdogs at Riverfront Stadium were a lot better than the $7 dogs at Great American Ballpark.

I see it as a negative. Too many games are lost because a reliever gives up a couple fly ball outs and the Manfred Man comes round to score. I’d rather see ties than these fake wins.

I think Steve would’ve packed it in and retired if he was still around today.

Client-side validation is a progressive enhancement. You always have server-side validation. The validation in the browser exists to provide additional feedback that lets users have realtime feedback about their input.

I have no trouble reading but writing kanji has become a problem. I never need to do it and I can’t remember how to write kanji I have no trouble reading.

It’s Japanese people too, to a lesser degree. My own Japanese wife has to pause to remember how to write something every now and then.

I don’t see anything about side control in this post. 3/10.

I’ve lived in Nagoya for 20 years and Kyoto’s unbearable to visit anymore. I loved it twenty years ago but I have no interest in wading through the tourists from overseas.

My first Mac was before the Apple Store. Got it at a CompUSA Apple department. Still a magical experience to see a bunch of Macs gathered together in the same place.

Kyoto’s probably as bad as Barcelona for overtourism. It’s hard to enjoy Kyoto anymore. Japanese people are just too reserved to protest.

Oh good. Another thing named “Bento”.

I use Soulver with a file for each month’s expenses as well as a file for overall assets and liabilities. If you already have that app, it’s a great solution. It supports (global) variables and has natural language support.

It’s not plain text, but it feels like plain text.

The wording on the site/blog was confusing. The homepage says "Download Beta" and the blog says "purchase". Sure enough, when you click "Download Beta" you're asked to pay $10.

Yeah, I’m not gonna go back on a desktop later.

Elly De La Cruz mashed two 400+ plus bombs to dead center with a torpedo bat today. Whatever helps the Reds hit homers I’m fine with.

I threw away all my personal productivity crap a couple years ago and still get the same amount of stuff done. I just converted the fiddling time into free time.

> The core issue, however, is the inability to participate in the actual craft. Design decisions are buried in React components with cryptic expressions like flex items-center shadow-lg p-6 hover:bg-gray-50 dark:bg-gray-800 py-[calc(theme(spacing[2.5])-1px)]. This might make sense for JavaScript engineers, but it's an insult to systematic design.

This is Tailwind nonsense—not JavaScript.

Agreed. Definitely feels like a workplace-only project.

Is it any worse than Singles Day?

I’m holding out for the one written for immortals.

If you want to maintain state across navigations and share that state with a server it’s the best we’ve got.

This is only going to get worse. There are a number of services in Japan that let you pick up part time jobs on short notice. These workers don’t know what they’re doing a lot of the time and their mistakes are going to frustrate customers more.

If you sign out and view a user you can see their posts so I never saw the point of hiding them from logged in but blocked users.

The rise of Bun, Deno, and other not-Node environments will help this out.

JSR also does a good job of indicating what packages work where—if it gains traction.

Building apps at work with Qwik and Cloudflare and has been smooth sailing.

Next.js on anything other than Vercel was always dicey.

Fire up the Animus.

I was ready to enter my credit card number but there's no shipping to Japan.

I’ve had it since I was a kid too. Only notice it in small closed rooms. If I’m outside I don’t hear it.

It’s a slightly different methodology, but Git Patch Stack has worked well for us over the past year. The CLI is a huge help.

I think this is more of a “ain’t this interesting?” sort of thing.

Yeah, it’s why Basecamp doesn’t keep a backlog. Anything important will come up again.
