Use mermaid quite often. It's best for simple flow charts, git flows, etc, but where applicable it is great.

It is especially nice combined with mkdocs and the mermaid plugin when doing documentation.

Lit 3.0 3 years ago

Not directly right? LIT is based off of WIZ or something like that from google iirc?

Maybe I'm wrong here.

Check out best-buy. They are offering $100 more on lots of pixel trade-ins than the google or fi store.

Pixel 8 Pro 3 years ago

do they offer the watch as a free rider where you are?

Because ... that's worth 12% and then some.

Apple has had some equally frustrating and embarrassing misses in their time. No manufacturer is 100%.

Pixel 8 Pro 3 years ago

I am biased, as I've had every pro/xl but the Pixel6 and the google nexus phone's prior to that.

With that being said i've only had questionable build quality on 2 occasions. The Huawei 6p which was covered under a recall, and the Panda Pixel 2XL where there was some lamination issues.

That being said, the build quality and materials (mostly) really stepped up initially in the Pixel 4, and then noticeably again in the P7. They are quite nice. I don't really find them lacking in quality, fit, or finish these days.

Killed by Google 3 years ago

This is the distinction that people often fail to make or care about when lazily lobbing hate at anything new google creates.

Agreed. While I like my school getting some pub on HN, it's not the original source.

"switched to"? There's no full switch to anything.

Webp has been around for over a decade. AVIF will probably get adoption as a faster rate in my estimation.

Not used Codespaces, but gitpod.io.

What you end up cobbling together to really create a fully fledged environment ends up being what the yaml does for you in a consistent manner.

Also, getting off of "DOCKER", and specifically "docker desktop" and its magic, is beneficial.

Break? I don't agree.

Change, sure. We've had browserify, parcel, rollup, webpack. Then the next wave hit with snowpack, esbuild, vite, lasso, turbopack etc.

There's a few that have hung around like rollup and webpack, but there's definitely a constant feel of chasing the dragon when it comes to js bundlers/builds, if not JS tooling as a whole.

SvelteKit 1.0 4 years ago

the backend svelte (node) can actually make calls to the separate api server and render a 'fuller' page to the client on page load.

I believe this is what is meant.

Trust is arguably the most expensive thing in society.

For those looking for a fun read about trust read some Francis Fukuyama.

I have built a social advertising marketplace in another life. It is RIPE with fraud that can be quite difficult to slow or truly stop.

Hard disagree.

You may want a THING, but you don't know about a particular brand or style of said THING. Just by making you aware of them can be a win win.

Say you've been researching "THINGS" for a couple weeks and narrowed it down to 2 brands. An Ad pops for a brand you'd never heard of. Naturally you check it out, only to find out its better than either of the options you were previously considering.

For sure people say that. They don't differentiate between pay and free google. It's just google.

So yea, the meme-machine will just dismiss it as 'lol it will be cancelled in a year because google'.

But Stadia might be 1 of 1 ..maybe 2 or 3 pay services they've ever cancelled.
