Did you try previewing this website on a mobile device? On my phone, I’m noticing some layout issues. The hamburger menu up top also doesn’t seem to work. It would also be nice if we could demo the app without signing up.

Otherwise, I’m impressed you pulled this off after learning how to code for 3 months. Keep it up! :)

The other issue with having so many features is that some of these features may become harder to discover, especially if users have to sift through congested user interfaces.

Here’s the list of changes: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/13971691

Something like this might be useful for road trips

‘Meditations’ is one of my favorite books. I revisit it almost yearly and each time I find new nuggets of wisdom. While videos like this may be useful for some people, I do think it’s worth reading the book on your own to form your own interpretation of it, especially since it isn’t a very long. If you like audiobooks I recommend the audiobook recording by Duncan Steen and George Long.

I agree. I've noticed the other heuristic that works is "wordiness". Content generated by AI tends to be verbose. But, as you suggested, it might just be a matter of time until this heuristic also no longer becomes obsolete.

As platforms become flooded with AI-generated garbage, I wonder how people will be able to find meaningful content. Are there going to be a new set of AI tools for content curation? It just seems like this will only spark a new AI-driven arms race.

Surprised to see another cycle of layovers happening here. What’s going on in the industry?

Excited to see how this develops! I'm hoping that they share more examples of how this works in the near future.

1) UI Design. I’d love to learn how to build apps that are aesthetically pleasing.

2) Computers. This year I’m making an effort to work through the NAND to Tetris course. I’ve always wanted to learn how computers work from the ground up.

3) Spanish. I had a strong start learning Spanish this year but haven’t been as consistent. I’m aiming to become conversationally fluent next year.

As for SSGs, Eleventy and Astro are popular options. I’ve been using SvelteKit for my blog.

For hosting, many providers offer free tiers. You could check out Netlify or Vercel.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I’ve thought about buying a Tesla for years now but stories like this have dissuaded me. I would have hoped that issues such as these would have been resolved by now. But, I’m glad that the other auto makers are starting to finally bring some competition in the EV market.

Thanks for sharing this link! These are a lovely set of photographs.

I found the book Practical UI (https://www.practical-ui.com) useful for learning practical design tips. I still reference it from time to time in my work.

I like using the shadcn/ui library: https://ui.shadcn.com

These are my favorites for this year.

Fiction:

"Wool" and "Shift" (by Hugh Howey) - Fell in love with this series when the TV show debuted on Apple TV. I just had to read the book to find out what happens next. Still need to read the third book in the series.

Non-Fiction:

Algorithms to Live By (Brian Christian and Tom Griffith) - An interesting take on how to apply algorithms to regular day-to-day living.

Crucial Conversations (Kerry Patterson et. al) - A good primer on how to have difficult conversations

The Effective Engineer (Edmond Lau) - This book provided me a good framework on how to be more effective at prioritizing my work.

Programming Phoenix LiveView (Bruce A. Tate and Sophie DeBenedetto) - I found this very helpful for getting acquainted with Phoenix and LiveView.

Looks like the Gemini Ultra might be a solid competitor to GPT4. Can’t wait to try it out!

Things 3 for task management. No subscriptions and it isn’t bloated with too many features like other todo apps.

There’s also ProWritingAid. You can buy a lifetime license if you don’t want another subscription.
