i was expecting when i click pick, that a "place" button would appear on each other item, or i could click on a row

OR possibly highlighting the spots between rows either with a line, or "place"

i think that's a much more intuitive & reliable ui, and would be an improvement on drag n drop. or a supplement to it

I was expecting that the line item would move with my mouse movement, not with my scroll.

That's a great idea actually. I'd have to find a way to highlight the possible landing spots.

(i do like innovating on this btw)

here's a basic CSS starting point

    :has(.pnp-picked) .pnp-item:not(.pnp-picked):not(:last-child)::after {
        content: "[place]";
    }

honestly both the react haters & the htmx haters are wrong on this

if you care about have a solid UI, you should learn everything

you should learn css, react, svelte, vue, rails, tailwind, html

if you don't and you say you actually care about your UI, your opinion is actually irrelevant

    const body = JSON.stringify({
        model: "gpt-4.1-mini",
        messages: [{ role: "user", content: "hii" }]
    });

    const r = t.fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}`
        },
        body
    });

    const json = JSON.parse(r.body);

.. no async? i wonder how they are doing this & how they plan on more js interop

i want this to be true, however i am not confident

no, social media did not kill it :facepalm:

mass de-regulation, tax avoidance, effective end of anti-trust killed it

social media was just the tool-of-the-day to break democracy

I agree. I also challenge readers to watch TV broadcasts from politicians speaking in 70s, 80s and even 90s. You won't even believe your ears. But, the slow takeover of the world by international conglomerates buying up everything else, merging and bankrupting competition just doesn't seem to be on anyones mind with any power to deal with it. An acquaintance works at one of these Frankensteins monsters and there is a hodge podge of internal systems. It's hard to believe how many companies they have bought up over the decades.

"There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime."

when are we going to finally give up on the concept of the app store?

it is not efficient, it doesn't incentivize high quality products, and the web proves that security / safety can be done in an open way.

> the web proves that security / safety can be done in an open way

A) the web is full of phishing and other scams, as well as tons of low quality garbage

B) the web achieves this security model by limiting applications to a browser sandbox, which imposes restrictions on what the software can do. This is a non starter for many native apps.

Apple killed the idea of PWAs being viable, similar to killing Flash. 20 years of vendor lock on will make mentality hard to change.

.. or enforcing & updating anti-monopoly policies

This case is more of a "lead a horse to water" situation. Even if Apple fully opened up PWAs there'd only be a small trickle of them as people developed to norms.

Its still worth pursuing. Hut the effects may not be what we desire.

this is all true, especially for those of us who make no where near that much

Which is most of us. I'm paid well, and I feel fortunate for the privilege. But even my bills (healthcare, housing, etc.) are bonkers lately, and I live in a sleepy suburb. My health insurance will be much worse next year, and I probably need surgery, so that'll be nice and expensive. Meanwhile, we blew billions on an acquisition and laid off a lot of good senior talent. My colleagues and my friends.

I don't think people here truly understand how much people are struggling, even other software developers. I think everyone here thinks every other programmer pulls six figures working at a FAANG, but it's not true. Except now, capital is out for blood, and the Palo Alto is the only place with some fat left to trim.

i remember making the switch from atom to vscode felt so cold

i can’t explain what, it wasn’t just the colour scheme

atom was objectively worse on performance and a few other things i forget, but it felt so good to use

Easy now, I think it's pretty easy to see that he's talking about "three decades" generally, a decade in his own experience and two or more generalized out. You can know about things that you don't directly experience.

I gave it a pass for those decades being in "recent memory" even if the experience wasn't first hand.

holy shit that automatic colour scheme example is amazing

also didn't know about the more options in color-mix, it worked 90% of the time in a project i was using, but looked terrible a few times. I think with a different colour space and some adjustments to the specific colours it might have been fine? will definitely try it again, because its such a massive win when it works
