Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 305+1 [1] times, shame on me. [1]: https://killedbygoogle.com/
I've long thought about why the tools we have operate on screenshots, and not the accessibility tree. To me the latter would have seemed like the obvious choice from the beginning (structured data), but yet, here we are…
>Like most sensible people with a reasonable sense of priorities, I do not carry a ruler with me wherever I go. Let me introduce to you: the IKEA paper tape measure, folded neatly in your wallet.
There's also hard data suggesting the perceived usability is higher when the user interface is aesthetic. So it goes both ways.
There should be a term for this. I semi-unironically trust content written in Computer Modern, even if I know it's insane.
What kind of project did you "remove all React"? Also, curious whether you ended up with vanilla Web Components, or fast-element/LitElement/others?
With the advent of OSS LLMs, it's "just" a matter of renting compute.
They can't be arsed to make consumer friendly software. Edge was amazing for about five minutes before it got enshittified. It took a world wide pandemic and thousands of businesses flocking to Zoom before Teams got…
It's just fun/sad reading about the concept of "swimmable cities" when you've taken it for granted all your life. Most cities with fjords or channels here, have "harbour baths" - essentially outdoor swimming facilities…
There's nothing regarding Google in the article, but it is specifically mentioned that Apple's back taxes are already in escrow.
Indeed would be interesting. Another one of the downsides of everything running on v8. It just feel it gives people the "wrong" impression, even if it helps (massively) with DX to run TS natively.
I just wish runtimes could take advantage of Typescript, and use type hints in performance improvements. Deno, and bun, currently do not, despite running Typescript "natively".
The phonebook capabilities of pretty much all Google alternatives suck. Google is currently the only search engine that actually works for local queries (i.e. phone repair in <local town>). Alternatives while probably…
The first rule in any software backed by a server, but especially multiplayer games is, you never trust the client. You could have a perfectly deterministic game where every action is validated on the server, be…
Every day, we get closer to what Ember.js did/does.
GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) is very real, and talked about a lot in the music industry. There are books, and papers studying this.
What validates the Content Validator? A Content Validator Validator?
I'm not deep in Swift, but this would make it seem a reimplementation of Foundation is open source: https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/tree/main
I don't understand why people act like this is a new way of working. Hundreds of ISO certifications require independent audit. Functionally this can be done in many ways, like source code access by human reviewers, or…
It's not quite a GUI, but I usually refer to https://alfg.dev/ffmpeg-commander/.
Some of these NN models are quite heavy, and I'd argue, overkill for bounded applications, like "just" segmenting people from a video stream. People have built simplistic naive bayes based models before NN's were…
What I miss the most is the request interceptor. Yes, I know I can copy requests/responses from my browser.
I think I'd vomit if the company whom I am loansharking from to pay a new washing machine (hypothetically), forces me to talk to a robot.
Don't most orgs already own Google Workspace, or MS365? I fail to see how MS Forms + Excel, or Google Forms + Sheets can't accomplish this (with the addition of common spreadsheet features). It's not to be snarky, but…
I'd love a modern non-SaaS MS Access equivalent, that just use files: https://stephango.com/file-over-app
