We still have to provide a way for people that don’t have (smart) phones, but I would absolutely implement asking the phone instead of a 3rd party when available.

We don’t gain anything from asking a 3rd party. In fact it costs money per request.

It is, but it’s difficult. I am down visiting New Zealand and 3 times I have flown domestically here and there no ID check. I buy a ticket online, check in online, and scan a barcode at the gate. Is New Zealand an exception, or do a lot of countries not require an ID for domestic flights, and the US is the exception?

I don't think this is specifically a react problem. The problem is that people don't want to learn what modern CSS can do, or write it themselves (see Tailwind), and most new frameworks make it easy to just sidestep that with div soup.

Some of us _like_ CSS, and try to use as much of it when possible, but I feel like we are few and far between. I use react to manage the state of my app, but that doesn't mean I have to make a 27 div component to style an input.

The big problem is trying to convince the rest of the team that they should learn and use CSS.

I couldn't quite go for the 60%, but I have friends with the UHK60 and I really liked it as a keyboard.

I popped for the 80 as soon as the shipping times caught up to real time. It's a fantastic keyboard. I haven't gotten any of the clusters for it yet, but I'm very happy with my purchase.

I cannot express just how much I _dont_ want twitch to just start playing some random fucking stream when I open it.

Whose brain dead idea was this?

macOS has an accessibility feature where you can hold ctrl (or something) and use the scroll wheel to zoom the entire screen in.

Not quite the same, but works really well for not breaking any layouts because it just scales the entire display out of the viewable area.

My outcome was the shutdown of Apollo, rather than the blackout. I no longer read Reddit on my phone. (Except for a link or two clicked from something else, but even then I go to `old.reddit` instead to read the comments). That was really where I wasted the most time on it.

It’s kind of a relief. I think I was too “lazy” to stop on my own because Apollo was so comfortable to use.

There is an “eslint-recommended” rule set. (And a matching one for typescript-eslint).

I recommend those as they seem to be the least intrusive while giving a lot of sane defaults.

Yeah, I've been getting more and more collecting for stuff I'm doing with the circuit network that I don't want to do again.

Trying to find a clean way to organize them and have it available in all the games, maybe just checking them into github is the way to go.

The install is completely portable on its own, so my solution is that I just have 10 or so copies of the game installed, with a folder of renamed shortcuts based on the modpack they run.

What does your launcher do?

I think that’s not really relevant. Not every company can afford to have the best developers that can do everything. And not every developer wants to struggle through a new language for (unknown time) writing a tool (or anything) that could be done in an hour in a language they’re familiar with instead.

A lot of common screwdrivers can turn Philips head screws enough to get the job done.

Pairing With GPT-4 3 years ago

I’m not a junior developer, but there are plenty of things that i know I don’t know.

I also prefer to learn by doing, and chatgpt gives me enough support in the places I’m lacking to make It much easier for me to learn about what’s going on. Infinitely patient, and just a few keystrokes away whenever I need it.

Honestly, this is why I think the branding that Microsoft is using for all of this, "CoPilot", is spot on.

I'm using this not to replace my work, but to enhance it. It's like having a mid-level developer sitting next to me that knows enough about everything to push me in the right direction.

Pretty much every CSS framework I've ever seen (and certainly every CSS-in-JS solution I've ever seen) has as its underlying premise "we know you hate CSS, and want to avoid thinking about it as much as possible". For people like me (and perhaps you) who actually like CSS, our reaction is "why would I ever want to use something that abstracts away the power and flexibility of a thing I enjoy using?"

I don't find this to be the case with styled-components. To me styled components feels just like writing CSS (which I like), but with a slightly obscure variable syntax (if I need a prop or theme value).

I'd like to be able to tell mobile Safari to just ignore that setting

Mobile Safari does ignore this setting. You have to go out of your way with stopping touch events on mobile safari to prevent zooming.

Sometimes this is problematic for sites using "small" (< 16px) fonts for input fields because that will cause mobile safari to zoom in to show the input field whether you want it to or not.

I’ve been using BloomRPC for the past year, but it’s definitely got a few rough spots.

Very excited to try this out.

I have slightly the opposite problem. My AirPods are too eager to reconnect to my Mac.

If I’m in a phone call with someone, on my phone, using my AirPods, and my Mac decided to play a single alert for whatever reason (slack, mail, text, whatever) the AirPods IMMEDIATELY connect to the Mac to play that one single notification, and leave me trying to shout across my house to my phone to tell the other person to hold on.

Super frustrating.
