I think iOS safari already breaks bottom bars by having phone controls show up when a user taps near the bottom.

This blog post shows how not to use AI. The author would have been unlikely to write such a uselessly redundant conclusion if they had to type it themselves.

Edit: I like the post, but it didn't need to be padded with fluff.

What does CLP stand for? It is not immediately obvious to me from the page.

Can you remove the annoying "give me your email" popup? It's preemptive enshittification.

This is impressive and mirrors a lot of thoughts I have had about the future of backend frameworks. I love the focus on local development for things like pub/sub.

FYI, the redirect to /login breaks the back button on Firefox for Android and probably other browsers. Had to hold back and go to a history entry to escape.

An old timer I worked with during my first internship called these kinds of issues "the law of coincidental failures" and I took it to heart.

I try a lot of obvious things when debugging to ascertain the truth. Like, does undoing my entire change fix the bug?

I use it for programming and math. When I started using kagi almost 2 years ago, I had to go back to Google occasionally. Now I basically never go back to Google search.

I took a class psychology class on learning that was superb.

It taught how to memorize stuff: spaced repetition and semantic encoding. Spaced repetition is reviewing the thing at increasingly spaced intervals of time. Semantic encoding is coming up with connections to the idea. The wilder the better as that tends to be memorable.

The class taught some strategies for creativity such as use of analogies and trying to combine disparate ideas.

The class also taught cognitive biased, like loss aversion.

This class was life changing. It was also easy because the teacher applied the best practices she was teaching.

I would say something like that class is the basis for teaching people how to think.

Can't you choose to only use apps on Apple's app store?
