playing with an idea to "decompose" uis... but then the question is how to recompose them into something else

I’ve never actually used it, but maybe HyperCard?

HyperTalk is dynamic, but I’d imagine with the restrictions of both the target audience and the times a lot was declarative and much more simple

GitHub - alvaromontoro/CSS-Flags: A collection of flags coded with CSS and a single HTML element A collection of flags coded with CSS and a single HTML element - alvaromontoro/CSS-Flags

A collection of national flags coded in CSS (using a single HTML element for each flag)

Still on iOS 17 and Sonoma (macOS 14)

Sometimes I upgrade right away, sometimes until bugfixes or certain features make it to minor versions

This will be the first time I care so little about upgrade I actually make it to the next WWDC on old versions

Iveman are PREGNANT??

We all knew Sam Altman is gay but tbh I didn’t see this wedding announcement coming

Everyone knows PRs are for CI

And tbh CI is sometimes just a long pause so you have time to think about what you’ve done

also had to look, and its so fun to see these early comments on that first PR setting all the plumbing up (:

oh, very cool, never noticed!

there might be value in sharing/teaching about the specifics of react-server. one thing that helped react really click back in the day was some post that talked about the specifics of implementing a renderer

I didn't write a renderer, but it made everything concrete

IMO they were all super helpful. "JSX Over The Wire" and "What Does 'use client' Do?" resonated with me

I wonder if confusion comes from React having transcended the client, but no "react-server" or "react-build" package existing. I can imagine people think this is *external* to react in a way

I want coding AI to live in a second cursor on my editor —like Google Docs— doing things like this

AI on your editor's sidebar is great an all, but what I really want is ai that will see me writing a prop name and immediately destructure it from my props arg for me

my brother has been troubleshooting his PC (freezes at login screen) for almost 2 hours

second time this year a Windows update breaks his computer to be unusable. you can't disable updates.

say what you will about macOS nowadays, Snow Leopard nostalgia, etc at least it's not this

started happening all of a sudden yesterday

it’s a lambda ambigram

straight from the future, this man man is ahead of his time 😄

@danabra.mov on the front page of HN again with another banger nice

Tesla AI via Twitter: You drive with eyes and a brain, not a suite of sensors Our cars do the same

Cameras vs sensors is a false dichotomy

The best self driving tech was invented 200 years ago. It’s called rails 🛤️

I've learned a ton.

Whenever I have a crazy idea, an itch to try X, or wonder how one could do Y, I have projects where I can try them

A lot of content online about shipping, producing, sharing, growing, selling...

Nah. I build for me, my growth and enjoyment. That's fine too 🙂

A few years ago I was using a DAW and thought— I want to build a DAW

While building it felt limited by state management and thought, I want to build a state library

While building it I felt limited by the language and thought, I want to write a compiler

Haven't really finished any (lmao), BUT...

Same thing with Mexico (city, state, country) 😄

In our case, since it extends to the country, we’re all Mexicans (country), some are Mexicanese (state), and some Mexique (Spanish “Mexiqueño”, city)

Hubble captures the spiral galaxy NGC 2841, 46 million light-years away in Ursa Major. Its bright core, dust lanes, and blue stars stand out, but fewer emission nebulae suggest lower star formation. Fiery young stars likely cleared the remaining gas. Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble, WFC3 Team

On the one hand, we shouldn’t compare public lights from a time when they were a luxury, vs now, when every corner of every street has one

On the other, I very much agree the quest for replaceability and profitability has destroyed the personality of our physical environment

✅ rich
✅ were Mexico
✅ 40% Hispanic
✅ high-tech

One might be red and the other blue but they’ve got plenty in common ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brief “oh fuck” bc I forgot about the blackout, but then I remembered I don’t live in the USA anymore

Is this some sort of PTSD? Oof

I... I need this

In Mexico our main leftist party was created in 2014.

Some claimed the previous leftist party was colluded with the right, and that’s why they were so ineffective

Wouldn’t you know it, after this new leftist party was made, the old one announced an alliance with the right to try to defeat it lmao

I think we’ve forgotten the “vibe” and values of the old web, and we only imagine web (even the open web!) through the lens of centralized/siloed applications

I’m hopeful ideas outside these frameworks will come back with time 🙏
