I don't think how Vibe Coding changes things for marketers gets talked about enough. So much of marketing used to be rationed, begging for engineering resources to get things done. Now you can hop in your IDE and ask your LLM to make the changes and see them done within the same hour. I run the @QAwithIto blog and have: - Designed & shipped my own custom floating social share buttons just how I want them - Fixed a bug with our custom HackerNews share button so it turns into an upvote button after someone submits the post - Added custom URLs and image widths to post images as new fields in San… LLMs Related

If you’re seeing incorrect tints for your navigation items on the Duo’s external screen, it’s likely a bug. The tintColor for the UINavigationBar is ignored. A workaround is to set the tintColor on the UINavigationController’s view. Related
Another surprise: the closed (external screen) view has navigation on the right. But it can also be on the left in the side-by-side layout: Related

Their words
Freedom of navigation is a global public good, and public goods decay the instant their provider is revealed to be unwilling to pay for them.

I made this floating-scrollbar #CSS demo as the result of a discussion we had in today’s Front-End Study Hall: https://codepen.io/editor/meyerweb/pen/01a0b0bd-0100-750d-8c24-745f6318896d I don’t know if it’s actually a good idea to do something like this (probably not), and it has a few styling limitations (no drop shadows or glows), but it was interesting to try to hit a design brief with clipping paths and the relatively new `shape()` value.

I know what that means for the French people. What happens thousands of miles away always ends up affecting our daily lives. So I am taking action to reduce tensions, secure our supplies, and ease the pressure on prices. After my discussions with the Iraqi Prime Minister earlier this week, I spoke today with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the Emir of Qatar. The priority: restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for the…

We will continue working with our partners for safe, free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and for stability in the Middle East. We all have a stake in this. Related

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/117117221397911074 After hearing feedback from people struggling with #Mastodon’s layout and navigation for a long time I’m really looking forward to these changes. And I’m really impressed with the work @imanijoy has put into researching user needs with surveys, interviews, and round tables. I feel like the community has never been so represented in the design process before. The screenshots are marked “in progress” for a reason though—it’s a process. Related

There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm is a mind-bending psychological thriller about a secret agency tasked with fighting dangerous "antimemes"—ideas that refuse to be remembered. Plenty of stories start with a clever high-concept premise and just let it play out. This one pushes its premise to extremes I never imagined possible, ratcheting up an astonishing amount of tension along the way.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
