App devs: does this *really* need to be a native app?

Surprised face! Cuuute

Yes. I feel this strongly. My words are mine or they’re nothing.

I love how “Iraan” is pronounced, “Ira Anne”.

My parents took me to get my hearing tested at age 7. My hearing was fine; I just wasn’t interested in what they were saying. I do find that I have an audio processing delay of some kind. I have to “replay” the words in my head a few times.

I read today that Truman’s attempt to follow other postwar governments to create national healthcare systems was stymied by Dixiecrats who couldn’t bear the thought of racially integrated healthcare.

I say nationalize all the HC insurers.

I’ve seen this curséd image before; I didn’t think it could get weirder. I was wrong.

That, and some config for the Contentful Images API CDN in the image component would be 👌

I work there, let me know if you’d like to talk to someone in product or a solution architect. Thanks Matt! I got to see the Google IDX team roll out an Astro site, would love to see more of it with our customers.

Wrote about this on LI today. Matt, can you help me understand Content Layers a bit, as it relates to a headless CMS like Contentful? Is it a new model for data sources, or for different kinds of APIs that are perhaps less structured?

Would you say this is also a result of Congressional deadlock and abdication of power over the years? So few eras of getting things done since like the 90s.

I mean, healthcare coverage is for sure broken in this country. But the best ways to fix it for the most number of people ain’t this. ACA was kneecapped by R’s preventing the big cost savings.

M4A & nationalization would help, if the courage existed.

Love it! Josh, did you explore any techniques to get some noise or a bump map of any sort to add some texture to the frosted glass? I can think of a few approaches but haven’t tested them recently.

1877/78. I think there are some key differences but history rhymes.

Perceived lack of control over workers and status. And yeah, the empty, expensive physical offices. People doing actual work love it of course.

Awesome, I’m always needing tools like this.

I don’t recall that episode! 🤯

Would you say that DS9 got the balance better?
November 26, 2024 at 8:38 PM
I really can’t abide these long seasons either to find out what happens. I do not have time for that.

You reminded me one thing I loved about Trek: you can watch a single episode and go on about your life! 🛸

Done. Marc, consider adding a domain alias to your Bsky config, maybe under democracydocket.com or a personal domain. It might help a tad. I did it this week and it wasn’t too hard.

Awesome. Customers shouldn’t have to double-process images if they have a CDN.
November 22, 2024 at 7:20 PM
Can this work with image CDNs to let them generate the assets, and reference them in the srcset?
