Here again you show lack of nuance.

Pro webflow developers use keyboard a lot. In fact with Webstudio we took the keyboard accessibility very seriously, still A LOT to improve.

Visual development is a mixture of mouse and keyboard. Some things are faster with the mouse, some with the keyboard.

The reason some people prefer mouse is not just that they are used to, even though it is true. Its because they know how to be efficient with it very well.

"code is like that but on steroids" - again it can be true in certain use cases, but there is a massive amount of use cases where this is not actually true.

Most of them are around layouts, styling and configuring components.
Visual development is basically declarative programming - its configuring things.

We are actually thinking deeply about the gap between typing and visually manipulating stuff at Webstudio and the plan is to allow a lot of the same UX patterns that you have with text-based coding: copy/pasting things like styles, box shadows, gradients, instances of components etc.

Ability to paste gradients is already there, box shadows comes soon. Writing component code inline will most likely come at some point as well. Linked CSS editor - similar to chrome dev tools for css is also planned.

As you can see there are ways to close the gap and when needed write code.

The most frustrating thing with code is the build tools, compilers etc. These days nobody writes just simple html and css, things are complex. So the benefits of writing code are often completely destroyed by the amount of complexity to deploy the site.
I can't even. So much wrong with this. Not even wrong.
> It was a very crappy experience to not be able to remark on a single thing to each other.

That was caused by your baby, not by the devices. 2 people in a small apartment together with their own devices watching what appears to them to be a movie-sized screen would definitely be something many people would like. No big device on the wall. No shaking the people in the apartment next door with your sub-woofer. And you can still comment to each other all you want. (Obviously the price will need to come down for that to be common.)
This is the crux of it. App Tracking and Transparency is advisory: when you decline tracking, it simply asks the app not to track. There's nothing to force them to comply other than Apple removing apps from the store. It's a similar story to when Apple banned using hardware UUIDs for tracking a few years ago. You still absolutely can do it, it's just that being caught doing so could get you banned from the store.
Don't worry, we're opening another pseudo day shelter in NoBo!
When the problem can never be resolved, you redefine the problem until you find a version of the problem with a good solution. So if the problem is that software is hard to estimate, which is hard, we redefine the problem to something like “I want to be able to ship something people want to buy, before we run out of money” or “I want to ship a game in time for Christmas” or “I want to reduce operating costs so we don’t drown in debt.”

Incidentally, the process of writing a software program is often the same process—redefining the problem until you find a problem with a good software solution, rather than finding a hard problem and throwing software at it until you die from exhaustion.
For years I would at times try different search engines when fed up with Google. Such as Duck Duck Go, Bing and others. They were always much worse than Google.

Kagi's search results are much better than anything else you can find right now. It was easy to just forget about Google.
I mean, I'm still running Paint Shop Pro 5 and Winamp on Windows 11 like I'm still in the late 90s.

Windows and Microsoft are the legendary backwards compatibility outlier in the software industry where essentially everyone else moves fast and breaks shit.
Well, if we want to be charitable;

- The GIL is a feature that adds value, and was added for a reason. (As explained elsewhere in discussion)

And, if we want to be a bit less charitable about it;

- The GIL is a feature, in much the same way training-wheels on your bike is a feature. :-)
> and if they get a large enough market share they can just start their own Reddit.

That assumes that Apollo is sufficiently profitable to host the necessary backend systems to support a reddit clone. This also means that they need to have moderators (and if they're volunteer moderates where back at the "reddit takes advantage of volunteer moderators" square). It also means that this instance would have the appropriate legal staff to be able to handle trademark disputes, DMCA claims, and assorted challenges to maintain itself in the face of trolls, unsavory content, and such.

The moat that Reddit has from such upstarts isn't that its hard to build an instance, or stand one up, or even maintaining a community there - but rather making sure that it stays up by following the assorted laws (GDPR, CDA, trademark, copyright, etc...) out while maintaining a sufficient income stream to pay the staff (and maintain advertisers if you're not going full subscription only).
Honestly I find most theaters’ a/v quality unimpressive. Old screens with remnants of thrown sodas, poorly tuned sound systems, etc. I am sure there are some brilliant theaters with Dolby vision + atmos.

My simple 5.1 system and not so simple qd-oled display is just SO much better for me than the theater.

BUT - my wife doesn’t really care. She’ll happily watch a movie on a laptop although she does say the theater sounds no better than home. I’d guess she’s closer to the norm than me.
Ah, well, I'm sure a real response from Reddit would be much more careful than I was to point to the costs of their infrastructure and away from all the work users do to generate content for free.
I like Basecamp’s “Shape Up” guide https://basecamp.com/shapeup
It's such a ridiculous theater. If a terrorist really wanted to bring down an airplane, nothing the TSA or the airports are currently doing will stop them. There's way too many holes.
I didn't say "just adopt". I said we already have an abundance of parentless kids in the world. Providing less friction in the adoption space sounds easier (and a hell of a lot less ethically gray) than making synthetic human embryos.
I think this is 'significant' due to a large volume of people who want Lemmy to be their reddit killer and replacer, regardless of the goals of the project itself.
It seems everyone has forgotten the point of writing your own tools.

It would take some serious effort making the gui usable for others, effort cleaning up my code for review and last but not least it should have at least some documentation. It even had buttons for functionality that either isn't implemented or behaves oddly but it is just for me, I can use it just fine.

Or say: I need a static phone app with a bunch of family recipes, an index, each one a shopping list and a start button that counts down for each task involved. It should have pictures of grandma, ideally with the dish. That I have to do that from a website is just silly. It should work for 1000 generations without payments or reviews and have access to nothing outside the app.

If you think the prison computer is a great platform to migrate all our things should you be entitled to an opinion? It seems like one doesn't want to have any? People need to experience more platform shitification or the platform ripped from under your feet. It just happens, everything starts out nice. Enough of that and you will see the point of languages or protocols that lack an all powerful ruler "protecting", even a benevolent a creative visionary may eventually make place for a simplistic money man.

haha, I accidentally pictured apple under Mitt Romney...
Interesting, but the author is still sounding it out. Highly recommend Stanford prof Jeffery Pfeffer's "Power: Why some people have it...." book. The essential idea is that each field has a weighted triad of Performance, Credentials, and Relationships. Elite networks typically index on the latter two, and ascendant networks index on the first and last.

I have spent a great deal of time in prestigious places, and I'm always sympathetic to the disappointment of people who have worked so hard to finally arrive there, only to be seated with me at the end of it after all their trouble. It's absurd.

I'd say, why network when you can conquer and prevail? Being climby just means being irritating to progressively more powerful people. There is always a cluster of people around the powerful who try to be gatekeepers and pretenders. Their esteem has no value outside mediocre aspirations. Sure, there are careers to be made as mendicants, but that's what banking and politics are for. Tech is for improving the lives of others and solving problems as an honest service. Unless you are finding customers to make something they want, networking is inferior with a weak upside, imo.
That's an equally bogus argument. "Mankind" isn't a singular entity with a unified will. Some people spending their mental capacity on adtech has nothing whatsoever with other people deciding to spend theirs on SETI (or not), and there's nothing wrong with people deciding to do adtech.
Do you know how they have that curtain on some airplanes to separate you from first class? It's kind of like that. It's probably the flight attendants want something they can pull across to keep you from coming up and bothering them.
thanks, this made it click a bit better.
Nah, it was overdue, and this provides an impetus to execute a purge which would have been hard to do before. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Apologies for going meta but: is something up with the ranking algorithm lately? I’m surprised that this fell to the second page so quickly given the number of points and recency of submission (there are older articles with less points above it, and it doesn’t strike me as a topic that would elicit a lot of flags)

What's sad was that the Apple line of computers was exactly this. Completely programmable. Completely usable. But was despised by Steve Jobs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_jug02JATc

I'm not saying that Steve Jobs wasn't successful, or wasn't a visionary, or didn't save Apple. I'm just saying, the Apple II shipped with AppleSoft Basic. The Mac had no such language or built in compiler.

I remember my friend back in college had an Apple IIc, and someone actually wrote a C compiler for it. He used it AFAIK all the way through college until the mid nineties, 12 years after it's original release date roughly in 1984.

What I miss about computers from this time is that the Apple IIc had a joystick port. When I was like 12 (1985ish) I discovered I could get a DB9 connector and got a CDs cell which acted like a light sensitive resistor. This allowed me to play games that needed only a X or Y axis movement just by hovering my hand over the sensor.

Edited to add:

To this day, I don't own an Apple computer. The mac's were just waaay too expensive. Around 1996/1997 after college, I enjoyed Unix style operating systems more than windows or mac, and promptly got a PC and ran linux on it when I got a full time job out of college. And linux back then installed a C compiler typically too!! Windows and mac did not.
That ~80% figure comes from an Epic argument. At that time Apple had argued the number was completely wrong and they were going to refute. I do not see any article online with an updated number, but it is almost certainly wrong. It is super annoying the tech bloggers never pestered Apple to reveal what they said they were going to.

Historically Apple always has adjusted the quality of the product to match desired 35% margins and price points. I would be very surprised if the App Store is any different, although they may have had issues ramping up to eat that much money. Apple gouges users... but they tend to gouge consistently. The other 65% likely includes costs like advertising, cloud services, editorials, legal, fraud costs, WWDC, corporate overhead and the like but it far more than just hosting and evaluation costs. They may be blowing it on Apple TV+ content though. Services is a tricky number to nail down.
Reader was impacting ad revenue on websites.
> watching a movie on an airplane

I'd like to know if Apple actually designed for that. Because having watched movies on a plane in a headset, I can tell you that when it does anything other than fly straight and level existing headsets get extremely confused. It also is a very low light environment once the lights go off so how well their camera based hand tracking works without light is also a question.
I've been critical of Webflow in the past for the same reasons, but having seen teams use it effectively I think there's more nuance here.

Namely, if you want to build a website then CSS layout is just the tip of the iceberg. If you write your own website you have to consider:

- HTML
- CSS selectors
- Deployment
- Team collaboration (probably)

Using a visual website builder allows people to learn only a bit of CSS and have the rest taken care of.
right, but the purpose of the news is not to tell you the future but to make you feel anxious about it and to push forward political agendas of the people who pay for it. i just pay as little attention as possible to any of this shit beyond entertainment value.

>The M1 Macs are amazing

This marketing campaign has to stop.

That ARM chip isn't "amazing", it's a pretty good ARM chip, which took a herculean effort to even bring to very very rough compatibility par with a standard x64 chip.

The x64 chips shopping now -- those are "amazing".
Google Music libraries were automatically migrated to YT Music, which honestly is a better product now. They didn't "kill" the functionality and didn't force you to migrate anywhere...
I don't necessarily agree with this, but let's roll with it — it doesn't change my prediction that in 10 years, 50% of people in commercial flights will be wearing a headset

Bees can communicate a kind of "map" to other bees, but they don't have anything like a proper language.

Google simply has no incentive to serve the customer who uses them for domain management. They make so much money from ads that they're far more concerned about their ad revenue than they are about money from paying customers.
The story in D4 is fantastic "for a video game". It's still a shitty video game story that wouldn't succeed in any other medium.
The market for flip phones isn't primarily the elderly or other people who want/need simplified interfaces. This means they're usually very low volume and have much less price competition. That, and most flip phones are just running android with a highly customized skin, which ups software development costs

People are happy with the way things are. Why are you trying to mess with their things? If they want to use a phone that’s restricted to a walled garden App Store, that’s none of your business.

Will you be taking responsibility if there are unforeseen consequences to side loading?

There plenty of other phones out there that allow side loading. Go use one of those if it’s that important to you.

I'm sure they will expand on gameplay but there's no indication they'll come close to scratching the surface of PoE's depth, and I don't think they're trying to. D4 is supposed to be a simpler game with a lower barrier to entry that is more accommodating to casual players. You can't get a whole lot out of PoE as a beginner without third-party resources, there's certainly a tradeoff to its many layers of complexity.

D3 and D4 are games made for people in their 30s who grew up playing D1 and D2 and now only have a couple of hours a day to play, and that's fine

The question of whether it's cool or unbearably dorky really has way less to do with any objective quality about it and more to do with uptake. If Apple mostly establishes themselves in the existing VR market (i.e. mostly a niche gaming device, with very scant general purpose use by an extremely small group of nerdy folks) it will be unbearably dorky regardless of how it looks objectively. If it's somewhat popular, even if (maybe even especially if) it's only popular among well-off people, then it will be considered cool.
I agree, it probably won't replace my home theater setup either. But I wonder if you and I will not be the majority?

Why not simply charge for the API, and let Apollo figure out a funding model that works for them. It could be subscription, it could be going with a different ad server.

Having Reddit need to do audits of clients (where the clients could do things like quietly reduce the number of ads you get if you've tipped $9.99 or more - or not serve ads if your ID is on this special list so that friends don't see the ads or use a developer special trial build) is impractical and would mean that its even more of a call of if the client is in compliance or not.

What's more, ads served by the API to a client that isn't controlled by Reddit are less valuable - Reddit would have less information about how much engagement they had with the ad.

>I do, I used to work for them.

How does that happen? Who in their right mind thinks to themselves "Maybe I should work for an obvious criminal entity". Did they at least pay well?

>I'm going to leave off the fallacy of using revenue as a primary proxy for business scale. See: Air Lease. A better comparator would probably be employee counts (they are similar).

What? Do you not understand that these are different metrics which measure different things? You measured size by evaluation, how can you accuse me of a fallacy?

This sure doesn’t look like a “rapid” reduction either https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-emissions-per-...

We’ve added 25% of ALL our Co2 emissions since 2010, and if current emissions remained flat we would add another 25% in ~15 years.

But sure, let’s focus on 1 variable and live in denial.

This is the correct answer, except for simplicity. Jeez Louise is AWS convoluted.
It's a reasonable policy if we're talking about a very niche hobby. If it's /r/news or /r/nfl where the name serves as a natural Schelling point, then it will attract power-hungry people who are able to indulge their drive to control others with a large natural constituency that continues to flow into to their subs without any awareness of its governance.
Webflow is so far ahead with CMS and now membership that it'll be hard for open source to catch up unless it moves significantly faster.

I think if this product integrates some kind of popular node CMS it might be able to compete. I might be wrong but it just looks like an front end editor similar to GrapeJS
When you go on strike there's two options when you leave the shop:

A - you close and lock the doors

B - you leave the doors wide open

Which of those is more ethical and responsible?

So, in that light, what do we think of the choice for mods who went on strike to lock down the subs until they return?
How many hijackings has this resulted in, though? The existing solution seems to be good enough.
> Tapping your own fingers to click. This was something I brought up to FB/Meta when I was working there, but they decided not to use it

that's a bit of a confusing thing to say because that is exactly how you "click" in Quest when using hand tracking. What's different is the eye tracking and I'm guessing how good the Apple headset is at recognising the tap. But tap is how it does it.

Introducing an exciting development from Microsoft! You can now conveniently purchase a wide range of replacement parts specifically designed for Surface devices. Imagine having the power to upgrade displays, batteries, and SSD drives with ease. This groundbreaking announcement, made on Wednesday, unveils Microsoft's dedication to empowering users through accessible DIY repair options. As part of their larger initiative, the Surface lineup, encompassing tablets and versatile 2-in-1 laptops, is now supported by this remarkable offering. Prepare to delve into a world where repair becomes a seamless and personalized experience!
It's a bad look, though, to be punitive in the face of protests.

If they had simply terminated the mods prior to this, well, they both wouldn't have actually had a problem to begin with, and could have easily chalked the whole thing up to a push to be more "open".
But wouldn’t you be happier if each and every component on the page paid the price of a full templating system?

No?

Oh yeah, I forgot that Web Components are a terrible idea that are only marginally successful because they can claim to be a “standard” when they’re not any more standard than any other JavaScript.
I might be in a 1% of engineers that believe in estimation.

Can you make a step plan for some deliverable? No? Then, sorry, it's not that planning is not possible, it is that you are simply not experienced enough. That's fine. There is something called skills, and you can go get them.

Have you made a plan? Great, then is there is some task in your plan that you can't estimate? In rare cases that might be inherently true, but in the majority of cases if you are senior enough any given task you're asked to do at Company A is going to be something similar to some task you've done in your prior experience and you can collect personal data on that.

A plan with per task estimates and you have an estimate for a deliverable. The next piece, and this is crucial, is you aim at and execute rigorously to the plan -- prioritizing as you go. If you do any "padding" for insurance, you DO NOT add arbitrary constants or double etc to your estimates. You add extra scope, ie tasks delivering real value, to your plan, but scope that can be cut, if needed, as part of your rigorous execution, en route, if you find in iterations that you're slipping.
