No one:
Me: Yep, just sitting here idly thinking about the overlap between the fields of science communication and developer relations

Just idly thinking about the fields of science communication and developer relations and how they compare with each other

Chrome for Android is very bad at allowing you to use the system password manager

MSFT words I have to unpack in every meeting:

  • "ask" == "request"
  • "inbox" == "include"
  • "double click" == "discuss in detail"
  • "learnings" == "lessons"
  • "delighter" == "feature" (apologies to Kano)

@slightlyoff "inbox", "double click", and "delighter" strike me as especially org-specific, but at least with the last one I had a chance of guessing the right meaning

Could you give examples of the first two?

@slightlyoff hard pass, nothankyou

I’m heading to Google I/O next week. My first big conference since 2019. Who else do I know that is going to be there?

On a somewhat related note, has anyone figured out how to save sessions on the I/O schedule this year? I can't find a way to build a schedule for myself.

@grigs I think I'm going. That is, if I don't keep forgetting about it 😅

IDK, man. Maybe testing on representative devices is actually too hard hard? But if you're gonna produce a "numbers every web developer should know" clout-farming thinkfluence feelpiece, maybe disambiguate compressed vs. uncompressed file sizes.

dotproto,
@dotproto@toot.cafe avatar

@slightlyoff Ahh, but that would mean you'd have to actually consider compression and it's role

Apple's done it again: they've created another amazing piece of hardware that would be a fantastic tool for writing software, and yet they still prohibit local development

So far main problem with working from a co-working space is the lack of nappable areas

I regret to report that there is no longer anywhere you can live to avoid the extreme effects of climate change.

@jennwrites congratulations, everyone, we did it 🙃

As I delve into yet another data analytics project, I'm wondering what static site generators folks are using these days?

Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules

Ruling: Thumbprint scan is like a "blood draw or fingerprint taken at booking."

@arstechnica I thought this was already settled law. The gov't (edit: specifically US) can't force you to give up knowledge, but they can force you to give up physical things (bank accounts, property, blood tests, etc.)

@danluu Speaking as a former game industry QA person, QA are generally treated pretty shitty but this is an all time low

Anyone know of a visual diff tool that lets you ignore specific lines or changes in a line? I'm looking for a nice way to remove noise from big diffs across tags in a repo

Can anyone think of a web platform API that accepts a string or array of strings as an argument?

I thought for sure this was a thing, but I'm drawing blanks

EDIT: Answered! https://hachyderm.io/@evilpie/112260613777599323

dotproto,
@dotproto@toot.cafe avatar

@evilpie Ohh, keypath! Thanks, now it's time to check the WebIDL for how that's defined

dotproto,
@dotproto@toot.cafe avatar

@lamplightdev Nah, that method has a variadic argument. I was looking for cases where the argument is basically a union type

Turns out createIndex on IndexedDB does what I was looking for: https://hachyderm.io/@evilpie/112260613777599323
