MacOS has a frustrating tendency to depend on external utilities for basic functions, but I've found Maccy to be as good as if not better than Windows clipboard manager. You can summon it with a keybinding or click on an icon in the menubar. It's really good and one of the first things I install on Mac.

Facebook does (or at least used to when I left it a few years ago) this too. They give you a huge dump of your data and photos, with an html file to help you navigate it better.

To offer a differing experience, I've been working in Angular for a couple of years now and personally like it quite a bit. I don't like frontend frameworks in general, but given the choice I prefer Angular over React.

Move fast, break things, pretend to be sorry about breaking things, move fast away from the broken things, keep at it as long as there's someone else left holding the bag.

Ten years later this company, its product, the money that went into it, and most evidence of its existence barring this post and another article covering it, seems to have vanished into the aether.

The author of course seems to be doing fine at some VC firm. Just so you know what kind of behaviors Silicon Valley rewards.

The problem is that most of the time a "QR Code Menu" means a QR code pointing to a PDF hosted on Google Drive or alike, a digitized version of a paper menu which was never meant to be read on tiny phone screens and is a pain to read with no reflow. You have to squint at your screen to figure out what you want, and then the rest of the process is the same, someone comes down and takes your order.

What you presumably mean by "QR Code Menu" is a QR code pointing to a website where the content is optimized for screens and perhaps interactive, allowing you to order from your table without involving wait staff and thus streamlining the entire ordering process for you and the restaurant.

This has always been such a misguided little thing.

Print out as many menus as you have tables, laminate them and use them for years.

or,

If you're going QR code, go all the way. Specific QR code for each table that links to a site that lets me order for my table from my phone itself. Don't link to a bloody PDF that doesn't reflow ffs.

Seems like it's treating each individual message as a new thread?

I got guns in my head and they won't go

Spirits in my head and they won't go, I been looking at the sky 'cause it's gettin' me high...

what song is that?

As an AI language model, I cannot determine which song you are referring to without context or further information. Could you please provide me with more details or lyrics related to the song?
