Maybe this is Dirigiblocks.

This is pretty widely held misconception. Today's chemical and mineral sunscreens both primarily operate through UV absorption rather than reflection: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250718-which-kind-of-su...

The show has an excellent sci-fi mystery at the core of it that keeps me going. It feels thoroughly designed in a way many television mysteries don’t, especially long running ones.

The #relatable office antics angle is certainly important towards the sci-fi mystery being told, but it’s definitely oversold IMO. Almost as if the main thing people liked about Twin Peaks were the romance subplots.

rot13 hint, pretty involved hint that doesn't literally say the answer but is one step away

10 was difficult in a different way than the prior puzzles, and honestly was a little chilling once I figured it out. Good luck, I'm sure you can get it!

I love the 38” 1600p format so much, it’s both wide and tall while still feeling like it’s a single monitor. I’ve heard though from friends in the industry that it’s not long for this world :(

In the US anyway, they're legally required to give you your prescription (SPH, CYL, prism, etc). However, PD and other ocular measurements aren't classified as part of a prescription.

I don't have a ton of Xcode experience, but from what I've touched, while it does feel good to use in terms of a "native" experience, as an IDE it feels lacking. Even basic things like the text editing experience feels limited compared to other IDEs (e.g. why is there still no auto-formatting built in? why can't I duplicate a line without having to use pseudo-Emacs movements?)

That's cool, didn't know that Apple didn't try to somehow shoehorn threads into SMS (like they currently do extremely poorly with tapbacks and stickers)

You only see the colors on messages you send. OP is implying that you wouldn’t know what “color” the conversation is unless you’re actively replying to the spammer.

I want to note that Vue provides official instructions on how to use it without build tools [1], and lots of folks who have written posts on how to use React without tooling as well [2]. I agree that they're ultimately designed to be used with tooling, but it's not a blanket requirement.

I imagine they use Twitter as RSS.

What about Rust? Rust doesn’t go as in-depth as Haskell when it comes to modeling effects in the type system, but it still has a relatively complex type system on top of dealing with the borrow checker (which is almost as joked about as Monads at this point). Even with that difficulty, Rust seems to be a lot more successful than Haskell, and has existed for far less time.

If it’s because Rust is still mostly imperative, then you could look to Clojure or even Scala—less complicated when it comes to types, but also (usually) much less imperative. Both I feel are more popular than Haskell.

If you want to be uncomfortable in a safe environment, the level right after the one depicted in the GIF zooms out as you describe.

If anyone gets to one of those levels and is unable to play due to the visual effect, you can hit 7 on your keyboard and it switches to an alternate view. I think this actually works on all levels, kind of an interesting feature.

Apple also says apps aren't allowed to use notifications for advertising (3.1.7 Advertising) but routinely uses notifications to advertise Apple Music, Apple TV, and their other various Apple+ services ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In California (I assume other states have similar) the trick is to wait long enough such that it becomes unclaimed property. At that point, Google will surrender your 85 dollars to the state government and you can fill out some paperwork to collect it.

Like 3/4s of my algorithmic feed are music content, so

- People talking about music they heard recently and enjoy, and often featuring much smaller/unknown artists than I've ever heard of elsewhere. It is biased towards indie rock and a small spectrum of electronic music though.

- Those small artists uploading their music, sometimes with a Tiktok-meme-friendly video accompanying it, or just a recording of them performing it

- Artists and producers explaining how they make their music, and offering composition or production tips. Much like Medium blogspam from first-year programmers a lot of this advice is pretty awful, but there is good stuff that manages to poke through.

The other fourth is a mix of popular content and a decent assortment of the terminally-online irony-poisoned content creators you see everywhere. You already know if you like that stuff.

Even more motivation to give it a shot! Certainly you can’t do any worse ;)

As someone who was on the original five guys /v/ threads the idea that GG wasn’t born out of harassing Zoe Quinn is absolutely ridiculous.

Loop is the right word for me. I’ll suddenly get stuck in a loop of subdividing a cube into smaller cubes over and over, or squaring a number over over. Never accurately, just…visually? It’s happened to me twice, both times when I was quite sick. It’s absolutely terrifying and feels like my mind is broken beyond repair. I’m getting upset just thinking about it.

iirc there was an iPod-style app on the Apple App Store for a bit around a year ago, but it was shortly after taken down. I don’t know if the developer came out with an official statement, but I imagine Apple had some copyright grievances.

It did have haptic feedback on the wheel which was cool, although I think this web implementation actually does a better job of nailing the motion and feel of the click wheel itself.

And given what kinds of products and services the vast majority of startups out there provide, even "impact" is questionable.

For example, Analogue Pocket, the 200 USD Game Boy hardware emulator that sold out in minutes: https://www.analogue.co/pocket

Folks can argue about the coffee quality as much as they want, but this why I love the Starbucks reserve roastery in Seattle. Decent chairs you can sit in for hours on end, and they blast AC in the summer. Noisy though.

>So he’s already flubbed this once before

To my understanding he has never worked for Dorico in any capacity. He did the usability testing independently for the sake of his video essay, not in order to actually guide work.

That, or buy a nicer coffee maker.

Aren’t there NFT marketplaces built on top of (minorly esoteric) proof-of-stake block chains now? If they’re even going to humor the environmental cost, why not just use one those? Am I missing anything?

AFAIK there are no Matrix clients with voice channels.
