side note: I still think it is hilarious that the American iPhone 14 contains a completely useless block of plastic where the SIM slot would be in international versions
still think the ulterior motive of Apple removing the headphone jack was so they could keep it in their pants and instantly guarantee a successful iPhone by bringing it back later once the general public quits giving a fuck about anything else
selling AirPods was just a bonus
one of the best easy hacks you can do to make your home nicer is motion sensing lights in the bathroom.
it’s cheap/easy and anything else immediately feels prehistoric!!
Our new repo screen was a total accident! Early on I just threw some repetitive commands in a <pre> to help me quickly create new repos, for testing. After a few weeks we were like... hmm... maybe everyone could use this? Almost 16 years later and it's still the same:
Given the amount of interest a tweet showing a photo of an empty cycle lane got, I thought it's a good time to bust out this one again.
Cycle lanes and footpath don't appear congested as they (mostly) allow people to move through quickly and efficiently.
Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/…
Here's a video of it in action. Workbench helps you ramp up on how Stripe's underlying objects wire together, and will help devs build better integrations, faster!
We're looking for devs to help us beta test! Sign up here: https://workbench.stripe.dev
As a company of developers, building for developers, we care *a lot* about developer tools.
So we built Workbench—a first-of-its-kind dev tool that lets you look under the hood to understand, debug, and grow your Stripe integration. twitter.com/stripe/status/…
has been working on Workbench, our dev experience for the last few months! It's a context-aware tool available *everywhere* in the Stripe dashboard.
Being able to inspect any object on the page and view its underlying JSON structure is *incredibly* powerful ✨
Was it rad as hell? Yes! Will I absolutely try one? Yes! I’m just very skeptical we’ll all own face goggles and use them more than fleetingly, for now.
There’s some really amazing things going on with the Vision Pro—and beautiful hardware— but some large social hurdles to clear as well. It felt very dystopian!
I don’t really see what would make me truly want/need to get it. I want to use my phone/screens less, not more.
…I’m skeptical of the premise in general. Apple’s demo was “killer” use cases like…browsing the web? Calling people? Watching movies? And always alone.
Definitely feels like Apple Watch launch where they went wide and found a use case as they iterated—fitness, not fashion.
Having thought about the Apple Vision Pro announcement for a while I’m both excited and…not.
It’s a marriage of a bunch of amazing technologies in only a way Apple could to make happen, and looks like an amazing experience that nails great UX for a mixed reality world.
But…
very funny for Apple to release Mental Health Emotional Wellness OS features and then also a computer you wear on your face to watch ted lasso at the beach
just...so...SO many of the use cases Apple is showing off here involve a single person watching a lot of flat things in 3D space
and the primary pitch is "what if the screen was huge and always in front of your face and also pressing on your sinuses"
1. Fails to make mobile app for years
2. Buys an indie third party app to make their app
3. Fails to monetize with ads
4. Fails to make their app decent
Reddit: The problem is not us, it's third party clients. Let's turn that accidental success into a failure too.
Just got off a call with Reddit about the API and new pricing. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts.
