Cant wait for the pixel 4. No doubt this will be put to use.

Anyone else think this is on purpose? Now they can remove all third party sellers from their platform and cite a trust & safety risk. They've been neglecting sellers on the platform for a decade. Why else would the API be absolutely ancient? A huge change is coming.

Anybody can claim a trademark (TM symbol), but only those who have registered it with USPTO can claim the (R) for registered trademark.

Once you claim something as a trademark, you own it. You don't officially need to file anything. HOWEVER, if you end up in court against someone with a registered trademark, you'll likely lose unless you can establish "prior art". Prior art means you've used the trademark in commerce prior to the date they did.

It's hard to make money as a directory service with Google and Apple Maps around. The shadier they get, the bigger of a sign it is that they're in trouble financially, I would think.

I've been using sendinblue with good success. This author could have used sendinblue and still been in the free plan if he spaced out his newsletter (max 300 emails a day for free).

Even the first paid plan at $25 lets you send 40k a month, which is pretty solid. And they have transactional as well as mailing list support.

Wasn't there a political expectation that if we produced our own oil, the price would drop? That was false from the start because we're a part of OPEC, right?

I've long encouraged my friends to go to trade schools instead.

Indeed, thumbs up. This should be a post of its own.

I wrote a very similar article back in 2007. Nice to see how the process has aged. This was the number 1 article on CenterNetworks until it's founder passed away a few years ago. (RIP Allen Stern)

This is more about UX than UI, though. I skimmed it at first before actually reading it and had the same thought, expecting some big visual wow. But the meat is in the explanation. This looks like a fantastic experience.

Um. Yes, please.

I use Colloquy on the mac.

Interesting.

How does this affect GDPR? Are we using & monetizing customers' bandwidth without their permission?

Dilly dilly.

I'm sharing the Firefox link on Facebook right now. Not a huge deal but I guess I haven't advocated for it yet.

It's closed source, though. The whole codebase is obscure to them. Using it would be obscurity.

My frustration is that this is the only industry I know of that makes you perform a pre-hiring test. Can you imagine if a construction worker had 1 hour to assemble a dog house as proof that he can build?

Oh god, I hope not. My webarchived geocities from 1997 is cringy enough. I don't need to remember what I was saying on EFNet in 1993.

>They're doing this in the open through the W3C WICG process [1]. They're not doing this as they see fit.

They launched the draft on the 2nd and implemented the tag on the 10th. I'd hardly call that going through the open process. That's a move to save face.

SQL has been great. Relational data is greater.

I absolutely hate working with graphQL, and document stores are a non-starter for projects with any decent amount of data.

But paypal takes a fee, so it isn't free.

And now Microsoft is becoming a crowd favorite.

This must be the dystopian future we were warned about.

I came here to say exactly this. Once I got tired of sad music, my brain was tired of being sad. I could gradually improve my mood by shifting the music I was listening to.

Fascinating that I'm not the only one who does this. This must be a thing.

Thankfully I only deal with depression occasionally now, but this trick worked great for me.

This is awesome.

What would it take to determine which brand (skittles, m&ms etc) and which sub-brand (tropical / peanut, etc) and how many calories are on the table?

In my head, you would determine the relative color difference of each piece to determine the brand, but I'm not 100% clear on how that kind of ai works.

I've always wanted to write an app that can take a picture of a poured out bag of skittles or M&Ms and not only count how much of each color, but use the relative color difference to tell you what brand (skittles/m&m) or sub-brand (regular, tropical, peanut, etc) and how many calories are on the table.

No reason, no monetary plan.

RIP Google Wave -- you were ahead of your time.

Unfortunately no iOS in this household to try it out so best of luck to the new Wave. :)

I fought hard for that as well among friends and colleagues. Here's my take on it:

* I view vue/react/etc as a sort of polyfill for webcomponents.

* I also look at JSX and Vue templating as just that -- programmatic templates that serve as a guideline for the HTML they create.

That's what lets me sleep at night.

I would think that, but I had a solid 3 years where I didn't work for anyone or have a routine and it went by just as fast, if not faster.

Chalk it up to SEO if you need to make a business case for it.

As a frontend developer, do I need this? And why?

Or is this more for the heavy lifting and backend uses of JS?

Canonical was unfocused, and the new CEO shelved it.

And yes, I do believe it's possible.
