As for similar products i think Komp from NoIsolation is pretty identical for the use case you’re talking about.

It asks you what your coworkers are working on and whether the thing you are working on are your boss’ number one priority?

No, but Codex wouldn’t have asked you those questions either

>If ChatGPT could be bound to a power button long-press, then I'd cease to use Siri for this use case

This should be possible, go to Settings->Action Button->Controls and search for ChatGPT

I’m unsure if the same applies to older macbook screens, but I’ve found that polarized sunglasses help alot with reducing glare and the marks/dust on the retina screen. Combined with the HDR hacks you mentioned above I can sit in sun with sunglasses and still keep dark mode on while coding

I will note that Bower’s last non-hotfix release was 8 years ago :)

Here's a version that keeps closer to the original text while fixing the main typos:

Very happy with https://supermaven.com. Switched to it from Copilot, and it's faster and has a much better understanding of what I'm trying to do. I think it uses a git diff + some other stuff that it feeds into the context window that makes it so that when I'm working on a new feature, when i’m creating say the 3rd it understands what I'm going to write even if the file is empty.

Extremely happy with supabase here, it has mostly eliminated the need for a backend, letting me just focus on making valuable stuff for my users. I also ended up making my entire app realtime just because it was easier

Norway! I think it’s somewhat similar in the nearby countries, but I don’t know for sure. You’re not even allowed to add the ticketmaster fee to your reseller price, so it’s techincally cheaper to buy it second-hand

hyldmo — Sat, 23 Sep 2023 21:49:01 +0000

I’m not going to speak on how this could be hard to implement in other countries, but in my country selling a ticket above the price it was bought for is illegal, and as a result (maybe there is other factors in in play but) it’s basically a non-issue here

As a way too make that easier, maybe it would be nice to support a user-specified set of timestamps? Say recipe A: 0:00-7:46, recipe B: 7:47-15:33 and so on

I feel like people often forget the alternative, which is opening a component and have to read 200 lines of css (possibly spread out over several files)

I have an extension in VS Code that tracks time spent coding, and sends me a weekly summary. While I’m unsure how accurate the time algorithm is, on my “home office with no meetings” days it says I get around 5 hours of code time, which sounds about accurate. Interestingly it claims the the global average is 52 minutes, which I can definitely get on days with many interruptions.

Another way too look at it: Do you prefer backend, frontend, and databases to be separate teams, or should each team have ownership over their own backend, frontend, and db?

Meanwhile, I get so much spam on my hotmail account (from obvious spam addresses too) that I’ve had to switch to gmail. It seems both the false positive and false negative rate is sky-high.

I'm a hundred percent certain that 1 is what Spotify does. It seems every release they remove or hide features that I use occasionally (e.g. clicking on the currently playing album picture to reveal the active playlist). It's extremely frustrating that since power users now are in a minority they are completely ignored. At the first release like this they basically said "This new version has a lot less features, but you can vote on which ones we will add back!". They added none of the ones that got votes, and eventually removed the feature voting system altogether.

I feel like we will have successful no-code tools at the same time as we stop having lawsuits, when we have laws that have zero loop holes and correctly specifies how to handle 100% of edge cases. In other words, probably never.
