Hilariously this is a single Finder window. The left border is showing the rows for files in the center pane.

Icons bleeding through border transparently

Transparent border bleed through should be a life sentence.

I’m not a fan of smart home stuff in general — but can’t imagine what smarts a toilet could possibly posses. I sure hope there’s no camera, microphone or speaker.

macOS Tahoe system preferences pane with "Reduce transparency" enabled but multiple transparent elements making it difficult to read top of list elements after scrolling due to bleed through.

Steve jobs would never.

YouTube video by David Hoffman President Nixon Appealed To The Jerks

“He sent a message to jerks all over the country, their hour had arrived. Enough of this idealism. Enough of the Kennedy uplift. We’re going to have our day. The day of the jerk. The silent majority, which is the apotheosis of jerkhood.”

Change my mind.

Sorry some people are jerks. The rest of us still think you’re great.

iTunes Match subscription screen in iTunes Store. $24.99/year for unlimited streaming of your music.

Did you know Apple still sells "iTunes Match"? Unlimited streaming / storage of songs from your local collection to your devices and ad-free iTunes radio for $25/yr.

The unchanged button design hints how little Apple cares about it but unlike Google Play Music (2011-2020) it's still chugging along.

Me: Searches Spotify for an artist, navigates to the album view and listens to an entire album start to finish.

Spotify: Great! Now let's autoplay a different album from five years prior and make it impossible to disable this behavior.

WATF.
I miss rdio.

Holy shit windows+x is my Windows PowerTool of the week.

Easy access to windows functions with the keyboard or a single click. Yes please.

Apparently it's called the "Windows Power Users Menu" or just the WinX menu and can alternately be accessed by right clicking on the Start button. Who knew?

It's actually always off by one.
"1-1 of 2" should be "1-1 of 1" I guess?
Either way awkward and in need of design help.

Node Version Manager (nvm) is slow, so slow you shouldn't use it locally. The init script adds a 900ms delay to spawning a new terminal (zsh on macOS). Usually shell scripts are "fast enough" but each call to awk, sed, grep is a new process and each command substitution "$(foo)" forks. It adds up.

Guess nobody at GitHub has ever managed to catch up with their notifications. Showing "1/0 of 1" is definitely the opposite of an inbox zero celebration 🎉.

Gotta love that it's impossible to report content (spam, etc) on GitHub via Mobile. The GitHub app redirects to mobile safari, but the green "Submit" button is helpfully covered by an overflowing footer.

20. A Reality Check ◆ Wi-Fi will never fully compete with wired Ethernet: Ethernet uses a dedicated full-duplex channel for every device, so each connected device individually obtains the maximum speed this then becomes a potential capacity multiplier. Whereas Wi-Fi uses a shared half-duplex channel, where all devices connected SHARE a single common maximum speed. ◆ You get what you pay for: Most dirt-cheap inexpensive routers and access points <$50 will have performance throughput limitations. Don't expect top level sustained performance like 80% of PHY from an entry level router/AP. So keep this in mind when looking for new equipment. But if you don't need top level performance right next to the router you are OK with only a couple hundred Mbps max, then a cheap router could be a great value, for you. 21. Recommendations Wi-Fi Certified LogoBe very critical: There is no point in replacing your router/AP if PHY speeds to/from your wireless devices do NOT improve by at least some reasonable amount. So, be very critical. Take note of client PHY speeds [§4] and throughput speed tests [§D] before and after an upgrade. If you see an improvement in speeds you wanted, great, job accomplished! However, if not, then you have to ask the serious question: Did you just spend a bunch of money and not get the benefit/improvement you needed/wanted? When updating a router, verify that client device PHY speeds and throughput speed tests actually increase, especially for devices 'at range'. When buying a new router, what features do you need to best support 1 Gbps throughput wirelessly?

If you're a nerd shopping for a WiFi device I found an excellent resource: www.wiisfi.com. (Wi Is Fi?) It's more detailed than you need, but I found their Recommendations section much more actionable than TheWireCutter saying "Buy one these three devices we tried 14 months ago, trust us." #wiisfi

Look ma, I'm on the YouTubes.

Someone once told me: it’s just like `cp` and it stuck.

I wish this was AI, but it’s just a poorly designed watch.

Today our GitHub Actions runner provider had a big outage. I was able to migrate us back to GitHub Hosted Runners, then a couple hours later migrate again to namespace.so.

A stunning example of the power of platform APIs and the competitive ecosystems they can enable.
