> On multiple occasions a family member's employees (or they, themselves) have had a DD delivery driver cut to the front of the line, interrupt the cashier, and shove their phone in their face. No words, no anything, just "here is the code/screen/whatever I need to show you to pick up the order". DD doesn't let stores rate delivery drivers so there isn't any recourse.

That's exactly what it's like in NYC. They just walk up with their huge backpacks straight to the front skipping everyone, turn around bumping people, show their phone, then stand RIGHT in the front as-if no one else exists. It's awful.

I'd love to contribute to a no-delivery store. Pickup or dine-in only.

Edit: Might have to re-think Pickup because that would just become a loophole for delivery. Maybe orders have to be placed in-store for to go.

I was ready to not like this because yet another AI slop tool, but it's actually pretty neat.

i dont think functions belong there at all. i'd actually be pretty disappointed if they added them.

How do you get 1 day of usage with Astra?

I create a lot, but I can make a full month with Astra on the current Pro plan. What are you doing to spend that much?

What do you build?

Who are your clients?

I'd always been amazed over the years by how many people didn't even attempt CSS. They looked at it like an after thought. Reminds me of a favorite Archer quote: "I thought we skipped that step.", "Skipped a step... in bomb defusal...?"

they probably weight documentation higher

Can't ride my horse and buggy in the city anymore.

For real. It's always a headscratcher when I see these weird takes against it.

Amazon has been working with Anthropic which at the very least will create a much more comprehensive Alexa.

> expensive talking fidget spinners

Like Alexa, Siri, and Hey Google? Which are used A LOT and will only be used more when they're natural, smarter, and conversational?

Always a strange take.

Hopefully React and Tailwind usage will fall off

> much investment and little return, and no obvious large-scale product-market fit, much less a superintelligence.

I'm always blown away when I see comments like this.

It just makes me think the people that say this either work for a competitor or simply haven't used their products.

The things that OpenAI and similar companies have created are literally revolutionary. It's insane. Pretending it's "little return" is a very strange opinion.

> we need more mainstream vehicles challenging the boring design "norms"

I'd argue that we need to start treating cars like the utilitarian objects they are and stop associating our personalities with them.

It's unfortunate how many people misunderstand CSS today and how web applications should be structured.

Articles like this make me sad.

I really can't believe anyone bought one of these devices. It looked terrible right out of the gate.

The sheep/ram was my favorite. Purple horns

Woof. Lots of strong opinions and misinformation in this thread.

Not surprising since it's just an Android app

But it shouldn't be :(

Their manifest v3 enforcements on third-party extensions are problematic. I was trying to update one of my extensions recently that used a Google library (ironically) and had trouble finding a way to allow cousin libraries to be loaded.

It still hasn't been updated because of this.

Correct

Especially since it was a refactoring, it's generally better to handle those in stages if you're working with a team.

There are lot of ways/patterns for solving the same problem... but tearing apart an existing interface being used by others isn't a good start.

The best part about abstraction is that you can modify the underpinnings to be more flexible without hurting the rest. A good step would be to create more flexible math functions underneath, like you're saying, and leave the rest alone.

Afterwards, there can be deeper conversations with the team about how they want the interfaces to communicate to provide an obvious facade but an abstract implementation.

I also made one a week or two ago. This one will swap out the video with an embedded player which generally skips ads.

Job interviews like this are terrible. It's a shame he's put so many people through it.

I think a lot of it is the major influx of people that joined the industry in the mid-2010s that never had to write code before. They started on fancy UIs so that's what they know.

It bummed me out when modern browsers started supporting mistakes in code; like when Chrome would interpret incorrect markup and fix it for you.

It's unbelievable to me that anyone uses or supports Tailwind. I feel like the internet has taken crazy pills.
