We are actually kind of agreeing. Let me change my words a little bit then.

The barrier to entry was significantly lowered through electronics. I was making music on Fruity loops when I was 12 years old. It was shit, but I had everything I needed in a single program. Becoming a producer however is extremely difficult.

The same will happen with AI. The barrier of entry to making something nice will be even lower. But mastering the AI tools, and really using it and combining it with musical knowledge will be extremely hard.

And those people will rise to the top of creating new musical genres, with the inclusion of AI.

I used this technique in a project I'm working on extensively. This works great for server-side rendered projects, because you can just combine the HTML inside and the custom-tag in a partial, and re-use this partial like a default component.

A nice advantage is also that it will auto-execute code when you include components in the DOM through the connectedCallback() function. No need to do manual stuff, or wait for onDOMContentLoaded.

BUT when you go more advanced, like intra-component communication, or nested component structures, it starts to become a bit troublesome. Or you'll dream of some reactive templating or other advanced features, and you'll check out what LIT-components are doing...

I feel that in most simple cases doing vanilla enhancements on some .js-something classes are is even easier that using this technique. No need for a custom-element. Just go back to the jQuery days. :)

Not that much difference. You used to have to gather 4 musicians to form a band, pay for recording studio, record an lp, and tour to get your music out. This took years to get that sort of creativity out. Now you make a song on your laptop with some existing samples, and release it to SoundCloud. So it takes much less technical and theoretical knowledge to create a song than 70 years ago. This is just an extension of this. You will have loads of people making subpar music with AI, but you will also have incredible innovators using that technology to form new music genres. Happens each time we get a new tool. PEOPLE will use AI. AI alone can’t set up a nice production, or play on festivals. :)

You could have said the same thing about a synthesizer. Look how that revolutionised music. AI is just another tool. This is just the beginning. People will use these tools in extremely creative ways.

Photopea did this, and on web

What are the reasons for your recommendations? One problem I might see is that it is even harder to spot a typo with this font.

Nobody said anyone was horrible. It's just that if a group is very dominantly male or female, you feel a bit like an outcast when you are the other sex joining in. Even if they are super welcoming, it's still feels a bit weird.

Also, each sex tends to have a bit of a difference preference on how a meeting-space should be. For example: Most of my male friends tend to hang out in garages/sheds some of the time. Never seen a woman choosing a those locations.

If I'd start a non-profit organisation, I could ask the government for grants probably.

Maybe start a system where people could lend their devices to the space, so they could earn some money on them long term. Depending of the initial cost of a device, I'd pay 10EUR-20EUR every time I'd use a special device. 10% of the profit goes to the makerspace, 90% to the device-lender. With 50-100 uses, you'd start making money. I could see something like this work.

What a great (and much healthier alternative) to pubs. I live in a small house in a small city, and one thing I don't like about it is that I have no place to put bigger machines, like a table-saw, CNC router, plot-machine, etc... I'd love to have a place where I can learn woodworking, painting,... from the local community.

Maybe I should try to set something like this up. :)

You're one of the few. Most "pro"-users I know immediately go for 3rd party applications like Rectangle do have a better window-management setup. I never understood how Apple thinks this kind of window management is still OK. It's one of those stupid little Apple quirks like not adding calculator on iOS for so long.

While I don't really like it myself, Tailwind is a good CSS framework for the age of component-based application design, where your JS / CSS / HTML lives in a single file, and your application-design won't change that heavily.

But when you want to redesign a whole site after the fact, or if you want to keep your component library logic & templates, and port it to a new system, Tailwind might be more trouble than it's worth.

It's just that... Atomic CSS has its benefits, BEM has its benefits, etc etc etc.

As a webdesigner myself I kind of disagree. Simple content per screen just works better for the example they gave. It’s easier to visually parse. Their condensed version has a lot of multi column layouts which I really dislike.

High content density works for desktop applications, but not for what’s basically a brochure website.

It's not people's behaviour. It's the state of public transport. Lots of delays, dirty seats, crowded spaces, weird smells, hard noises, jerky movements etc etc etc. I'd be okay if the state would ban cars, and put all that money into extremely well thought out public transport. But that won't happen.

Yes, to a certain degree. But now we are in an obesity epidemic. It is just as bad as people smoking in the previous generations. Loads of people are MORBIDLY obese.

WebComponents are still very much alive. :) And LitHtml is a very nice wrapper around them.

Opal without the software is not great at all. Very bad lighting. They should’ve had much better firmware instead of software imho.

The camera is good, but the execution is extremely un-Apple to me. It looks really not slick from a hardware stand of point. They don’t even have an official mount. Just put a good (AI) camera in the laptop.

I worked for 4 years intensively with RXJS. I love the concept, but it quickly becomes a mess in readability when trying to merge different data sources.

Indeed. Here is a very lightweight demo I did with this: https://pipodoro.vercel.app

Of course, we will be studying their every move. Enormous amounts of money will be spent on new devices specifically to study them.

Even very very small amounts of these pose a risk to our health. And because they never break down, they keep building up in the environment. They are everywhere, in your drinking water, in the soil where you plant your vegetables, …

https://squoosh.app/ Web app that has much better encoders.

MacOs has VoiceOver built-in, which is free. The web is also quite accessible by default. I worked for the a11y branch of a big webapp, px fonts and such are not that big of a problem.

Haha, I love the “My IDE is so sluggish, it must be doing important stuff”. It really isn’t. IntelliJ is just horribly laggish. VSCode, an electron (!) app with 100 plugins isn’t even that slow.

Photopea is also a great ‘alternative’. Free, online, and written by one guy. Quite amazing feat. https://www.photopea.com/

Depends on person, the game mechanics and the hardware. Oculus Quest 2 is very nice HW for its price. Shame you are locked in with a mandatory FB account.

I still use pinboard.in Just a single guy programming it, and asking a small fee. No ads. No extra stupid features. The web like it should be IMHO.

Couldn't have described it better!

A good test for me was this: ask someone to close their eyes and visualize an apple. Ask them what they experience. Some only 'see' the concept. Some only outlines. Some see black and white. Some see colors. Some see very specific things, like the brand. Some experience an entire scene, with smells and all.
