Awesome (as usual) video from Science Click youtu.be/7KYwi2F5Ce4?si…. The story of color spaces, physical and psychological intricacies of color perception, and invention of the totally new color

Very good thread. With sync engines you get a lot of new creative ways to make UI better. For exapmple cache top 1000 things from your db to make search instant most if the time

New blog post alert! I implemented Custom Mutators on the server for Zero in Ruby on Rails. Then turned those learnings into a general purpose walk through anyone could follow for any language.

Aaron Boodman Matt Drizzle ORM That’s why I love it though! The Swiss precision of category theory layered on the most Californian surfer dude of a runtime

This. And how process is replacing the vision. Everyone thinks that if you’re gonna follow some 🌈magic framework🌈 it will help you build an amazing product, you’re gonna figure it out in the process. Nope. Vision first, process doesn’t matter.

The ability to offload grunt work to AI is the biggest improvement in my workflow. For example, with ‘git worktree’ it is very easy to let Claude fix all the little typescript errors after main implementation is done while I am doing something else

Multiple times per day now I have the feeling of "I cannot believe how amazing Claude is". But it doesn't make me feel *worried* for my job, it makes me feel *enabled*. I cannot believe how fast I can move now. And it's not in the places you expect. Claude doesn't make me *much*

Still can't believe that we (not me but Evil Martians) do our own ruby conference sfruby.com! I just learned some details, and it's so cool. A crazy amount of work and attention from the guys

You never know what you will find in css nowadays. There will soon be a way to style and animate the caret drafts.csswg.org/css-ui/#the-in… caret-shape is experimental in 140 chrome (and 124 opera 🤔). developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

🚨 I'm hiring backend devs (I mean, Evil Martians are hiring 👽): evilmartians.com/careers/ruby-b… tl;dr programming polyglots w/ Ruby in their blood; performance experts (databases!); open source addicts; "managers of one"; EN and RU speaking; remote worldwide*

I love stories about products that didn’t find market fit right away but became iconic later. When the Roland 808 drum machine was released, mainstream musicians didn’t appreciate its “ugly” synthetic sound, and the company didn’t make any money from it.

Here's something interesting about cache eviction - instead of tracking the exact LRU (Least Recently Used) item, we can just pick two random items and evict the older one. This is called "2-random," and it works surprisingly well. The idea is simple. When we need to evict

Fix the News published 38 editions of their newsletter this year, "featuring 1,932 stories from 170 countries, and what we found was that while the headlines kept insisting on collapse, the data ... kept showing stubborn progress." buff.ly/2Jeoldi #ShareGoodNewsToo

That comes from a lack of an underlying system beneath the UI. When designing the UI for HTTPie, we built a whole system that dictates which items and icons should appear in a given context for a particular entity.

If profiling feels useless in complex apps (systems), maybe that’s not because nothing can be done. But because we’re still looking from the wrong perspective. medium.com/@rdvornov/why-…

releasing a fun little library today, on-zero it makes Zero feel more like Rails

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at
