Haptic trackpads are the secret sauce that make MacBooks so pleasant to use. You probably want one.

what's interesting to me about Cluely is that they had one of the smartest programmers I know there doing really cool stuff with React... and then they got laid off when the core team moved to New York

I think this is organic. I've observed the exact same thing over the last week: I tried Google Antigravity and really liked it when I was using my Claude quota. I ran out of Claude quota and tried Gemini 3.1 Pro and it was comparatively terrible at using the tools provided by the IDE. (but it's a useful model in the browser for chat)

A framework laptop is very nice, and definitely has a lot of upsides, but it can't match screen, keyboard, trackpad, camera, or speaker quality with a MacBook Pro, not to mention the battery life.

My biggest problem with Thorium was lack of updates, so I hope Helium is able to remain consistent with updates. Congrats on the launch, cobalt crew!

A lot of podcast apps have a server for crawling the RSS feeds for you.

Gruber seemed like an Apple sycophant for a while because his values and tastes aligned very closely with Apple's (though he still criticized them from time to time). Now, Apple is drifting away from those values and tastes and so Gruber and others in that sphere of Apple blogs are coming down harder on Apple, especially after Alan Dye made such a mess with "Liquid Glass".

This is why at work the only required rule for commit messages is that they include the story number, so we can very easily find at least the general reason for a change from git blame.

Having to use such a terrible hack to change scroll speed on GNOME is my least favorite thing about it.

Have you ever actually used Siri?

Beeper fixed their other iMessage bridge service last night by rotating device serial numbers on their server farm, so I would guess this would work? To my knowledge the pypush library itself isn't broken.

Developer edition is dark mode by default and updates way more often than standard Firefox.

Besides that I'm not really sure.

The author has a short paragraph at the end about Glicko.

While I wouldn't personally use them, that appears to be the point of all three of the services he listed.

This is using the same library as Fig for autocomplete, but cross -platform and without requiring an account.

I think because of your banner at the top, your header bar is being pushed on top of your page content, at least on mobile.

That makes more sense. Your original sentence was unclear.

I see no mention here of unions or anything similar

I think it's more a warning that you're never going to be able to find a standup time that's the most efficient for every attendee

I like the general idea, but I don't know if this could ever be implemented, much less in a clean way
