Seems to be magically working now. Probably some weirdness with GitHub gist URLs.

This looks awesome, unfortunately my attempts to use it result in showing some kind of placeholder blue image with a yellow and black corner, despite it appearing correctly in the list of available widgets. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.

I worked on an ad attribution service for a AAA games company and sold my soul in the process. It was neat maintaining a service that had 130m+ hits a day though, never had to deal with scaling like that since. Even neater was it was just two instances in production. Vertical scaling all the way!

Looks like they've claimed Brian Lovin's work as their own, judging by this commit:

I found graphics programming impenetrable until I found https://learnopengl.com. Going through the articles there was enough for me to feel comfortable working in all the other graphics APIs, even Vulkan.

From what I've seen, standards need to be picked up by browser vendors for them to become established.

Usually one vendor will implement it behind a flag, and if it gains traction then other vendors will follow suit before it becomes a generally available feature.

Looks like supporting an enctype of application/json was proposed, but never went anywhere.

I've noticed it puts people on the defensive when I put 'just' in a sentence, even though I have no intent to disparage others with my words, so I make an effort to avoid using that word at all in any business setting. I've found it goes over much better when framing suggestions as 'Maybe you could try..." than 'Just do...'.

I've set up a Legacy Contact with my Apple ID, since that provides access to all of my data, with a close friend in the event of my death. It was fairly easy to set everything up and I just had to provide their email address and send them a document produced after the setup was complete.

It's definitely given me peace of mind, as I wouldn't want them to be in a situation where my entire digital life was lost to them. They would also then be able to close all of my accounts and notify others of my passing.

I never much point in them as a kid. I'm left handed and I found it harder to use left handed scissors in my left hand than using right handed scissors in my right hand.

I'd love to see something like constraint layouts in pure CSS. It's an incredibly powerful tool when building user interfaces.

I was really excited to see GSS (http://gss.github.io), however at the time it was far too slow to be usable in real projects.

This is a really neat concept. Fairly simple, but great execution. I'm digging the camera roll feature.

I like it a lot. My main annoyance is when you have tons of bookmarks like I do the list freaks out and takes a good 5 seconds to fix itself. They're doing great work though, can't be easy trying to maintain parity with Safari while adding web extension support.

Currently Orion since that gets me Safari + Ublock Origin. It's a little janky at the moment, but it's nice having Ublock back.

One option may be to investigate migrating rather than continuing to wait on Stripe's lack of customer service. When I was investigating Stripe Connect alternatives I found Square to be a good option. It was easy to migrate our billing code over and it acts essentially the same. The only key difference is the end user would access their own Square dashboard and manage their funds, rather than it all being managed by you.

I've used GitUp for years: https://gitup.co

Free, open source, and has really nice keyboard navigation / shortcuts.

I had an issue yesterday where Comcast forced me to go through their chatbot before I could speak to a human. That drove me crazy, because what I wanted to do I couldn't do on their website at all.

There needs to be some kind of escape hatch where you can get through to a real person. Companies that do stuff like this just make me want to stop dealing with them altogether.

From what I've seen, it's a common convention with game development to do non-blocking networking and update your network state every tick of your update loop.

It fits in nicely with how everything else works in your game loop, and means you don't need to deal with marshalling data to/from a dedicated thread.

Reminds me of when I interviewed for an internship at Fidessa in London back in 2011-ish. I remember the team lead talking about an in-house programming language they used called FidessaC which used a mixture of C and SQL syntax.

Seems like a lot of the banking world like to invent their own tech stacks.

Hopefully they ship outside of the US at some point.

I like the way you think

Shame it's not shipping to the UK yet. Hopefully it does soon.

I worked for AB a few years back and it was easily the worst job I've ever had. Incredibly toxic work culture, and frequent gaslighting by managers. I'll never work for a big games company again after that experience.

It's always been the case for me that it'll update everything I have installed, and won't let me proceed with installing a package until that finishes. No idea why, but it's obnoxious enough to make me never want to use it again.

I was a long time homebrew user, but I found as time went on it got increasingly frustrating to use. The one thing that kept biting me was it wanting to update itself and all installed packages each time you install a new package. Having to wait 20 minutes for LLVM to recompile itself just so you can install wget is not fun.

I use MacPorts now, since it gets out of your way. It's up to you when you choose to update its index or your packages, which is much more user friendly in my opinion.

I had a non-compete at a previous employer that prevented me working in tech altogether for a year after quitting. Fortunately I managed to get out of that when they made me redundant. I doubt it'd stand up in court, but it's pretty shocking all the same.

I find it interesting they compiled SpiderMonkey to WASM to run JS in its interpreter mode when it already has iOS support built-in via the interpreter. I would've thought all of the performance enhancements could be done without involving WASM at all. As far as I'm aware the only reason why Firefox for iOS doesn't use SpiderMonkey is App Store restrictions.

I've rented many flats and not a single one has had a dishwasher. I wish my current flat had one, washing dishes is the chore I hate the most.

Nice! Glad to hear that's finally been fixed

Only annoyance for me with Carthage is needing to strip architectures out of the built frameworks in order for the app to be validated when uploading to App Store Connect. It's an awesome solution though, and much better than CocoaPods.
