I think it was Initrode. I used to watch it every day haha

I wrote my own because there wasn't one that did what I wanted. And why shouldn't I? We are hackers, yes?

I also missed the window, Apple didn't send any communication about it. I saw it mentioned in a comment online and when I contacted support they told me to pound sand.

I had the original AirPods Pro and they were really great until Apple nerfed them. Apparently the noise cancelling was too strong in some cases so they worsened everybody's. After that they started making ear-piercing squelching noises, rendering them useless. I guess they make a good paperweight and reminder to never buy noise-cancelling products from Apple.

I had a very similar story with T-Mobile! I couldn't get the account cancelled without going to the store and presenting ID in order to prove I was the customer because I had forgotten a made-up PIN. This was years ago and even this month they sent me a bill (for zero dollars, but still- why?!)

might want to check a history book, you may be surprised what the answer usually was.

Sounds like a home made Tailwind of your own

ever heard of The Black Swan? might be worth a read

Wouldn’t that be handled on your TV and/or streaming box? That’s how I control it, at least.

I built myself a SSG for React based on Vite as a build plugin. It is very simple, fits in one file, and the dev experience is almost exactly like having React Router but with SSG built in. Once a user configures the build plugin there's nothing left to worry about besides building a classic React website.

It absolutely cracks me up that this could've been easily avoided by choosing a unique name. Seems it is impossible for us to name a software after anything but an already-taken word! I am certainly guilty ha

wouldn't it be cool to have an open source (maybe even p2p/federated) version of GitHub?

I wonder how many centuries it will take before humans widely understand second-order effects. Mark my words, like the GDPR before it this will make the web worse for everyone.

The “engineers” live in another country and are paid fifty cents an hour.

this 100% is why it isn't mentioned. StandardJS is just a scam that nobody uses except new devs who get tricked by its pervasive marketing.

I really enjoy how that phrase is also an example of itself- such a great term!

Why? Are they insufferable otherwise? Or is it more that you find it unbearable to tolerate a different opinion? I'm so curious, about both of you. What part does he think was a hoax?

Tailwind. I see it as CSS in HTML/JSX class attributes.

In React, the HTML/JSX is embedded in JS. So I think it could be viewed as both!

i might be autistic, but i freakin loved CloudFormation templates. i replaced all the ad-hoc infrastructure in my company with it in less than a year, giving me the ability to spin up production-identical staging environments at-will! never really liked the CDK tho. dunno why

Unfortunately not, I used that advice for three brand-new purchased Honda’s: a Fit, a Cr-V, and an Odyssey Touring Elite Minivan. The CRV was the last Honda I will ever buy. Honda stuffed too many computers into the car and it would kill the battery after one day. This is when I was traveling for work, making the vehicle useless. Honda dealer said “that’s how they all are now, because of the electronics the battery dies every few days” and they even claimed that they go around charging up all the vehicles on the lot with a portable battery charger every day because of it! Absolutely a lemon brand now. These companies just have a huge disrespect for software and quality in technology.

NPM does require 2FA to publish. I would love a workaround! Isn't it funny that even here on HN, misinformation is constantly being spread?

OpenRouter works great! I wrote a coding agent CLI that uses it, new models get added all the time. You can check out the code here: https://github.com/nerds-with-keyboards/flite/blob/main/bin/...

I think clamshell mode was a killer of those models especially. I never ran mine closed and still use them for gaming to this day (since they still run Wintel). Not even a single key failed yet

Last week I built my own CLI coding agent tool using just nodejs and zero dependencies! It is a lot of fun to build, really, I think everyone should try it out

i guess we can all tell who works for ad-tech!

seriously though, some of us have been using the web longer than JS has existed, and it works fine without it.

i personally just updated my purpose-built (for SEO and other non-JS contexts) router for React, which now lets one curl a page and you can see all the text contents you want and even has low quality image placeholders. so you can view the whole page with no-JS. it really isn't very hard to support!

that's a great observation. previously to (finally) trying Tailwind for the first time, I would write utility CSS classes to handle those cases like a stack or grid and it worked great building alone. Unfortunately, CSS is really hard to do with others, especially in a big team. Classes always added instead of using the existing one, nothing ever cleaned up. Tailwind is nice in that you get all the power of CSS, just a bit more ergonomic of an API. Plus using it really is just using CSS, just with all the possible utility classes already made for you!

that said i do like to still use classes like "btn" to consolidate a bunch of styles. I think it was a mistake for TW devs to discourage that pattern for so long.

there's two types of workmanship, where one camp focuses on becoming more and more proficient with progressively more advanced tools and the other focuses on blasting through the piecework as quickly as possible. obviously the latter is much more common, but on a site such as this there still exist faint traces of the former.

so you don’t use websites?

Interestingly, not having a robots.txt pointing to a sitemap is considered an SEO error by tools like SEM Rush.

Are you using the cloud sync with Dexie? I built an app on it but it seems to have a hard time switching from local to cloud mode and vice versa. I’m not sure they ever thought people would want to but why bother making cloud set up calls for users that didn’t want it.
