Anyone doing Vanilla DOM APIs in TypeScript? How are you typing event.target and event.currentTarget. Something like this? Let me know if you read these. type FormSubmitEvent = Event This was acutally a good time where I preferred type over interface, since I couldn't nest extends, I'd have to mix and match like this: I bet you are gonna try get me for not alt texting this! int

Firefox dev tools always complains if you dont have a favicon. (I think Chrome silences this).

Quick lil fix if you want to silence the error. I often find myself using this instead of having to add another file to little HTML demos. Welp, I made this into a Web Service. fav.farm

Just pop <link rel="icon" href="fav.farm🚜" /> into your HTML to get an emoji favicon back. HTML Showing a fav icon set with <link rel="icon"

My wife’s MBP wont get past this login.

SMC/PR reset did nothing

It kernel panics after about 2 mins of waiting
Files are accessible via recovery mode

First aid finds nothing on main drive, but “unable to in mount” on the “- data” version of the HDD

Ideas? I also tried to reinstall osx, it gets stuck on “23 mins left” and never progresses at all

I wanted a little utility to check my webcam before jumping on a call as photobooth crops my camera.

Then I went down the rabbit hole of detecting multiple cameras and displaying them all. Pretty fun! Its online at hair.wesbos.com - might not work on mobile, or if you deny access to a single camera.

👇 Thread. Mentioning 47 developers you like isn't helping anyone and just fills everyone's mentions with "omg thank u, honoured". We had this back in the day with "10 devs to follow" blog posts. Send a DM or email - I love those!

(muting convos only works for future mentions) and please don't sweat it if you have done this 😃 I know lots of people do this with only good intentions!

Tried out Rev.ai for @syntaxfm transcripts. It's much better than Google's speech-to-text. Still not good enough, but hopeful for the future!

Our next step is to automate the ordering of these transcripts via a github action. Image @syntaxfm Tried out Otter.ai - it's better at detecting harder words, but not as good at detecting when Scott ends talking and I start.

If it did a better job at switching between speakers, I'd almost say it's at the level where we could use it. Image

🔥 Took a look at the Air Pods pro website. Some interesting stats about a media-heavy site:

(apple.com/ca/airpods-pro/) 70 megs once fully loaded
1500+ jpgs, most loaded after page load

Has anyone (first hand and fixed) dealt with Safari blocking cookies from a backend server because of this setting? It’s blocking the login cookies from my frontend to my backend So an update on this, HUGE help from @luisrudge in pinning this down.

If I run the app on my own domain, it works 100%

frontend.myapp.com / backend.myapp.com

If I run on now.sh

frontend777.now.sh
backend777.now.sh

cookie is blocked
