Since everyone is an expert on UI design this week, here’re my takes: 1. If floating panels are here for “more space”, why do they extend to full height even when there’s no content? I made a website. it's called "one million checkboxes dot com". it has one million checkboxes on it. checking a box checks it for everyone. that's it. have fun!

@eieio I had a nice pattern going. Full width, 10 rows tall, diagonal lines every 3 spaces. Was adding an 11th row when others found my spot.  @eieio Even when jumping to a random checkbox over 20000, someone unchecks what you check. If you ever wondered what Github would feel like if it was faster, you can try: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot (repo just for example)  @nikitonsky @romanzolotarev Might depend where you are. For me in Australia GitHub is faster. In one of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s dungeons, players can come across a Haskell programmer calmly petting a monad   I think this sign should exist in two variations, so it can be matched with arrows when needed

  #syncthing is a really good file-synchronisation tool. I've been using it for years and it's done it job well without feature creep or any crap. It's even got a user-friendly interface for setting up synced directories. If you're not familiar, I highly recommend this article by @nikitonsky: Oh, I love user stories framework. Yes, as I user, I WANT to enter my phone, create an account, scan a QR code. You know, all the typical things most users want @nikitonsky ah, the quarterly international gathering of mouse pointer meta discussion enthusiasts New post is out!

@nikitonsky This is fantastic! I've been planning to write a local-first time tracker using exactly this approach. I always thought I missed a major downside because no one else talked about it. The only one I can think of is the extra storage space required. I think that can even be reduced by storing the state outside of the sync folder.  @nikitonsky might be interesting but couldn't read it due to moving cursors. Your site is not accessible 😔 https://web.dev/learn/accessibility/motion Watch me merging a branch in Humble UI that I’ve been playing with since January in... next four days! Or not  @nikitonsky could you take a look at this? I think it’s a very cool If you open youtube video today, leave it overnight and click continue next day, it will do full reload before playing. What’s the idea here? They do daily code rollouts and yesterday’s code can’t play today’s video? Or what?

@nikitonsky I’m sure it’s signature expiration for the video segments, but no idea why they need to do a full reload instead of just refreshing them and continuing to play.  @nikitonsky I seem to recall that Twitter behaved that way. Re-visit a tab, page reloads. Probably increases some vanity metric. 🤷 @nikitonsky maybe a variation of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27117777 (to put a cap on both the quantity and type of "drift" across the whole pipeline) This is the framing Apple wants to sell for their decision to withhold features from the EU, and blogs are parroting it. In reality, Apple is purposefully withholding these features from the EU, either because Apple are being retaliatory against EU customers for the existence of the DMA, or because Apple (with full knowledge of the DMA for years) refused to build these features in compliance with it. Apple chose to harm their products in the EU. The DMA didn't. This framing is marketing.

 @stevestreza The correct wording is "Apple won't be releasing these features in the EU because they refuse to comply with local legislation". But hey, propaganda outlets don't make money by publishing objective news. @stevestreza @zilahu I think it’s more of the case what has been written here: https://spyglass.org/no-ai-for-you-eu/  @stevestreza Are these the same people not caring about Apple caving to China’s demand and restrictions? |
