Claude Design was/is absolutely brilliant. The embedded skill in work and code is capable but the experience of Claude design was so much cleaner.

Sorry, curious non-native speaker here. Which accent? And which telling patterns made you think of it?

I loved them and I placed them a lot in my designs — if you also include my love for em dashes you can well understand that I feel my own character has become a clanker…
Re:Cloudflare Quick Tunnels on Friday September 18, 2026 @02:24PM (#49758227)
I still remember when ngrok came out. The experience was more or less the same.

It’s interesting that 10 (more?) years later the product has not evolved and, apparently, hasn’t found a way to finance itself without removing the pure free tunneling option.

Only working on the magic system itself, unfortunately making the game around the mechanics is not something I enjoy, so I have been implementing different approaches with some minimal debugging UI. Did not reach the need for an actual game engine
I’ve been tinkering with a game engine where magic is made of first principles for a very long time. Cannot wait to see the gameplay and mechanics here!

OOT, but this website design is fabulous, the only thing is the font size just a bit too small. That header sticky effect on mobile is chef’s kiss
Got goose bumps, exactly as the first time reading this. Thanks for sharing
Re:Surface Tension of Software on Sunday December 14, 2025 @04:52AM (#46261968)
While the reasoning holds generally, that specific example is wrong. The type the author presents is not the “User Profile” but a “User Profile Load Resource” (or something in those terms).

When you actually design interfaces you discover that there are way more states to keep in mind when implementing asynchronous loading.

1. There’s an initial state, where fetching has not happened yet

2. There may be initial cached (stale or not) data

3. Once loaded the data could be revalidated / refreshed

So the assumption that you either are loading XOR have data XOR have an error does not hold. You could have data, an error from the last revalidation, and be loading (revalidating).

As good as a script element with type application/json.

The output looks terribly similar to what sci-fi movies envisioned as 3D reconstruction of scenes. It is absolutely awesome. Now, if we could project them in 3D… :)

A lot of calculations may happen on the client. And the server may be written in JavaScript.

I think you got it wrong. Now is a namespace for functions that retrieve the actual values, such as Now.instant()

Since the dissertation by Ken Thompson about compiler trustability was quoted today, I thought it would be a good idea to bring this short novel back from the archive. Loved it years ago and still is very enjoyable.

Re:Building a dynamic Canvas rendering engine using JSX on Friday March 15, 2024 @04:58PM (#39720649)
I think a custom renderer for react would much more powerful. Currently JSX is just used as syntax sugar. Wasn’t some react ink project that more or less made this?
Re:Nerdy internals of an Apple text editor on Wednesday March 06, 2024 @11:38AM (#39617709)
Let’s say you have a rich text where you want to highlight all occurrences of some token or syntax. When you have tree data structures you cannot use regexps or a simple parsers, since the full text may be split in different nodes.

With attributes strings it’s trivial, you just need to move attributes accordingly and to normalize stuff at the end.

Re:Nerdy internals of an Apple text editor on Tuesday March 05, 2024 @03:48PM (#39608991)
In the era of DOM documents (see notion, gitbook) I very often resort to attributed strings to do magic stuff with text parsing and manipulation. It’s such an elegant structure and I don’t understand why is so unknown.

Incredible article btw

Re:String Prism on Thursday February 01, 2024 @05:00AM (#39214331)
The UI breaks pretty easily with a “zalgo” amount of diacritics.

That said, very interesting. A cool tool to have in your belt.
