Some of these are from 2023. Have any of their graduated proposals shipped into a browser? I'm trying to get a sense of their visible wins so far.



Isn’t popover kinda useless without a position api of the popover element? Most of the time you want to create a ‚better‘ title. But the hard part is not something like the popover it‘s the positioning (can’t do middle at the end of screen even if the others are middle since it would cut stuff or add temporary scrollbars usw.?)

Edit: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/anchor-positioning-api?hl=... this one


Chrome pulling ahead of everyone else.

It's kind of scary that Chrome is so far ahead in web standards. It's almost as if web standards are designed to give Chrome the edge.


There are web standards and then there are web standards.

There are some that Chrome just scribbles on a napkin, throws them into standards committees, and immediately releases even if the napkin cannot even be read by anyone. Because this benefits one or other group inside Google. See basically all hardware APIs.

With others Chrome sometimes just barges ahead even if the final shape of the standard isn't fully agreed on. YOLO. The links above are quite telling. Many of those have the following disclaimer: "This feature is experimental. Use caution before using in production."


Yeah, it's unilateral strong arming.

Google is a horrible steward of the supposed open web. They treat it like it's their kingdom. It more or less is.


An unmaintainable mess in 10 to 20 years.


CommandFor just made it's way into Chrome


In the US? Ally offers savings accounts with great rates (usually 50% off prime, so currently 4.25%) and in my experience is a fantastic bank. Way better than credit unions I’ve banked with. https://www.ally.com/bank/online-savings-account/


Hilariously, Ally used to be GM’s finance division.


People who are into shoes (e.g., sneakerheads) do clean their soles.


Yup! Mozilla uses this very structure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation


Even better example is IKEA.


Wait, what?


Try OrbStack. Should be much better on battery life.


OrbStack is awesome, but fair warning, its disk image does NOT play nice with backups.


Thanks for the tip. On Colima now, will give that a try when I get a chance.


I second this. Night and day.


I wonder if the sports/talent agent model could work here.


You could also use https://nextdns.io. It’s basically pi-hole in the cloud.


I pay $20/yr for their service it’s so good, and I can turn on/off quickly per-device when I need normal dns to work, instead of having to ssh and tweak pi-hole or whatever across the whole network


I've switched from Mosh to Eternal Terminal (https://eternalterminal.dev) because of its excellent native scrolling support.


Eternal Terminal pitches itself as entirely superior to Mosh, but also describes itself as using TCP (Mosh uses UDP). I'm curious how that can actually cover the use cases Mosh provides?

Mosh using UDP means that as a connectionless protocol, your end points can move (eg: from WiFi to LTE, or vice-versa), and beyond a small hiccup, your connections remain alive and well.


ET adds a layer between application and TCP sockets that persists connections. https://eternalterminal.dev/howitworks has more.

If you are mostly on unreliable and high-latency connections, mosh will likely feel better, but with no native scrollback.


To add on to that, I use iTerm2 with tmux control mode which combines a native UI frontend with a tmux backend on a remote server, meaning I can spawn new native tabs, windows, or panes and they're all tracked by the remote so I can reconnect to all of them at once if I disconnect.

I keep one laptop at home and one laptop at work and can seamlessly switch between the two without having to manage my active sessions at all. If I open a new tab at work and go home for the day it'll be there on my laptop at home.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but just to answer the question. https://elonsbrokenpromises.com and https://elonmusk.today have examples of promises Elon has made that have not come to pass.


Superb! Thank you! This is exactly what I was after. Reading now.

Edit: The first one:

“Short via long dated put options” …

Is it not a conflict of interest for someone who is shorting Tesla to maintain an “elonmusklies.com” website? Or is the disclosure of their short position enough to excuse their bias?

Continuing to read …


Do you realize that claims about how the future will unfold are speculative? Why is Elon held to such an impossibly high standard when he makes obviously-speculative projections about what he thinks will happen in the future? Everyone knows he's over-ambitious and over-optimistic about deadlines, but why are we framing that "failure to accurately predict the future" or "failure to estimate a correct timeline" as broken promises and lies? What if we held all of us engineers, tech managers, etc, to the same impossibly high standard?

You may not have a dog in this fight, but these two websites are a little dishonest about how they frame things. Also there's a clear conflict of interest, because they're disclosing a short interest in the stock.


> Why is Elon held to such an impossibly high standard when he makes obviously-speculative projections about what he thinks will happen in the future?

It's because he actually makes these projections while all the other CEOs are tight lipped. Elon is also right on Twitter, loud and center. It takes rational thinking to understand that what he says are speculative projections.


I mean I get that, and personally I think it would be in his best interest to, uh... speak less, sometimes. But IMO that's a very different criticism.
