much like how there are only two hard problems in computer science, there are only two hard problems in graphic design: making sure things don’t look like dicks or swastikas
over-engineer :wordpress:
@samhenrigold I worked on a website once, where the designer made a minimalistic telescope icon for the “Our Vision” section of the “About us” page. It looked like a fleshlight.

i don't wanna be too hyperbolic but if your API throws an error but uses a 200 response code with a body like this: { i wish ill upon your extended family :)
Григорий Клюшников
VKontakte API does exactly this. It's very much decoupled from the HTTP layer to begin with. The status code is always 200. You can use either POST or GET with any API method. You can pass parameters in the query string, as x-www-form-urlencoded, or split them between the two. As long as they end up in $_REQUEST on the server, it doesn't care.

I remember explanations that some HTTP client libraries make it much harder to access the response body when the code isn't 200. They'd just return an error like "duh, your request failed".

college radio is seriously underrated. no ads, great discovery, typically a no-nonsense web stream you can dump into VLC with no fuss

i think we should play one (1) Slayyyter track for every member of congress and just see what happens

on a tangential note, i think it's wild how normani was like "okay here's one song. bye forever"

Didn’t really have a choice in the matter. Arguably preferable to getting towed.

i really like this nunjucks syntax because it's like someone said "what if we did ternary operators but made them not efficient at all?"

biggest lesson i've learned in my career has been to not fight against the platform you're designing for. if you're working on, say, a Mac app, go full throttle into Mac-ish-ness. Fighting platform conventions is a losing battle.

I'd totally spam this post with thousands of Like activities because I agree with it this much but I'm too lazy to code that. My version of it: if you're building a Mac app and you want a button, you are required to use an NSButton. You don't draw your own fucking buttons and then handle clicks on them by processing raw mouse events because your users will rightfully hate you for that.

@samhenrigold It feels like this is a sentiment that is both true and too dogmatic. Bucking platform standards have brought some really great features to the Mac. Tweetie was a great Mac app, but it had pull to refresh before the native scroll view even supported over scroll. We should respect platform conventions, but break them when it’s right for our users, business, etc.

between my biting commentary on a 2018 iphone model and now this killer Bobby Darin/80s McDonalds commercial reference, I’m feeling pretty good.

not SF specific but if you search up florists nearby, you can typically have them delivered AND get a much lower price compared to a middle man service like 1800flowers

i can't believe she'd say something like this. so sad.

there are so many ways to style a <blockquote> and I find that really exciting

as an aside, i cannot believe that's a thing i just typed in earnest. people my age are supposed to be in college right now, making terrible choices

mourning the lost art of dmg installer background images
Brad Ellis
@samhenrigold what?! Still going strong in so many installers! Maybe fewer people aren’t setting it these days? It’s not a frequently traveled feature of Finder. |
