The thing that killed them for me was the evolution from this simple style that hn still uses to every post being a mini bio for the poster, with tagline and links. But even this objection seems ridiculously dated now.

I had my final pebble hardware failure just before they stopped trading. I'll give it a miss.

I definitely do for something I want to write myself, that behaves like an app, but has zero entry barrier. I am adding PWA best practices to everything I do now "just in case", still not quite sure if it's going anywhere, maybe it is only me. I wanted a "packing reminder" on my phone so I made https://paulypopex.gitlab.io/holiday-reminder/# and it works for me.

what3words has appeared twice recently as a news story on bbc.co.uk
I'd not heard of plus.codes even though now I realise I'd seen them on google maps listings

agreed, nephew got his pebble steel replaced no questions for serious screen issues. I have minor screen issues occasionally though have had mine for a couple of years. Might try for a replacement. Might they send me a fitbit now instead..?

package.json makes so much sense to me, npm has spoiled me also

even simpler open your browser console and just start typing, I've found new ideas by letting the autocomplete there guide me

I use Lightwaverf in the UK, replacing the switches with their dimmers. They do have limitations (can't query the state and mostly doesn't work with led bulbs) but the form factor is good.

they're ramping up the availability at the moment, adafruit has them I think http://whereismypizero.com/ - some places only have them as part of a kit admittedly, but I managed to buy one on its own.
I'm confident availability is getting easier, and the new version has a camera slot too.

pretty negative, reminds me of fuckedcompany.com back in about 2000 - that made it into a game, you could bet on which dotcom bubble companies were going to fail.

looks like it supports standard watch straps so knock yourself out

after the initial batch all manufacturing resource was supposedly moved to the pi 3 so they're still tricky to come by. I'm sure they'll be back though. There's an interview in https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/issues/43/ that explains this I think.
I have one pi zero and (like 99% of raspberry pis - or is it raspberries pi? - in the wild) I have not done anything useful with it yet.

Holiday Extras | Kent coast, UK | ONSITE | Full-Time | £40-60k
LOADS of tech vacancies http://join.holidayextras.co.uk/vacancies/ Particularly of interest here would be Full Stack Developer. Mostly work is js / node but "In no particular order, we have used the following technologies over the last few years: PHP, Java, Javascript, NodeJS, Ruby, Coffeescript, Python, Cordova/Phonegap, Backbone, React and will continue to always use the best technologies for the purposes of our work" Partly on site but everyone works partly remote, the company is very remote friendly. Good luck, say you heard it from me...

I have exactly the same! I understood it to be down to network issues, maybe that'll be solved with on board wifi?
