Grocery Outlet S-1 7 years ago

In my family I always volunteer to go to Grocery Outlet. I have an optimized route throughout the store so I can check every shelf for anything new.

The solution to “too much RSS” is the same for Twitter. Unsubscribe/unfollow. Twitter does not require you to follow someone to interact with them. I follow relatively few people directly yet I have themed lists following other accounts. If I want local news I check my local list.

Twitter works quite well in this regard vs. Facebook where you need to be “friends” to interact.

The huge benefit will be when this is used in conjunction with the self parking system. You drive up to the front of your house, get out, and the car drives itself into the garage and plugs itself in.

I've done the same. The coupon code box screams, "You're a sucker if you don't have a code to put in here."

I go searching for a code. I find a few great ones that have expired but nothing active right now. Now I can continue my purchase and feel like a chump or abandon my cart. The latter usually wins.

I'd much rather use features that are consistent and that I am familiar with on my device (zooming in Mobile Safari) than every Tom, Dick, and Harry deciding how they are going to cripple their site because User Agent =~ /Mobile/.

.mail app 14 years ago

This seemingly minor preference is what makes Mail.app useable.

Technically done-in-a-long-weekend (last Thanksgiving).

I'm attempting to turn it into a side-project to justify buying a Retina MacBook Pro, so I dusted it off, recorded the video, and updated a few bits.

I posted this elsewhere in the comments: "There are quite a few long message services. Most (if not all) are plain text. Prolifi.cc allows styling via Markdown, images, etc. More of a proper article post and less wall of text."

Less than that. Tumblr has it's own followers/following/social network. This does nothing more than "attach" a blog post to a tweet. apitaru put it quite well elsewhere in the comments.

Twitter has three permission levels: Read Only, Read and Write, and Read, Write, and Direct Messages.

In order to have it Tweet on your behalf it needs Read and Write permissions. Along with that comes all the other permissions. If I could exclude it I would.
