PWAs can capture links, but support is fragmented across OSes and platforms. I tested all platforms and wrote about my findings in my new article "The state of link capturing in PWAs" Read if for free on Medium 👇

Chuck Palahniuk, oof

Warnings are beautiful. Vike has 183 of them ✨ For all kinds of things, ranging from small paper cuts to important performance issues.

Really enjoyed this article on how Notion is using SQlite in the browser and the challenge of supporting multiple tabs. This stuff is tricky, cool to see it happening at scale! Notion article: notion.com/blog/how-we-sped-… Relevant Github Discussion: github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sql…

Excited to finally start self-hosting a GPU server for Adblock Podcast. Finished the new “rack” today!

Why do desktop apps think this is OK? If I launched an app, it means I need to do something with that app. It is _the_ worst time for you to update. It's been updating for over a minute. Forget it, I'll just use the website. This is another reason why the web wins.

This story about SpaceX engineers transporting a rocket from Texas to Florida is insanely hardcore

Shout out to hugeicons.com, great source of free SVG icons. I used to use heroicons.com from the Tailwind team, but keep finding myself swapping them out for the hugeicons equivalents

I have great news! I was wrong on the Internet! In my Jan 2023 cargo airship post, I wrongly assumed airships would be limited to trucking-level per-ton-km revenues. It turns out airships can actually BEAT 747 freight service times. This means revenues and margins can be MUCH higher. @JimCoutre figured this out and has started @ShipByAirship to usher in the new transoceanic cargo airship era. I'm thrilled to be a part of this journey not only as a supportive poaster but also as a pre-seed investor. Airship Industries will deliver cargo faster than today's air freight service with 75 percent fewer emissions and with far fewer opportunities for theft and delay. Please join me in congratulating Jim on the launch and in celebrating our glorious airship-filled future. elidourado.com/p/airship-ind…

I’ve been using Claude AI daily for a couple weeks now and I continue to be impressed. Such a great conversation partner about solar, wine making, Typescript, and all sorts of other things I need guidance on

Always blows my mind when I wake up from a power nap a couple seconds before my phone alarm goes off. Guess there’s some unconscious part of my brain that’s just counting down the seconds..

Oof, for some reason I thought I could fork unjs/perfect-debounce and add a "maxWait" feature at 4pm on a Friday. Leading edges, trailing edges, so much to keep in your head! Hoping I can eventually do it though. It's the only async debouncer out there AFAIK.

I've spent YEARS trying to debug styles on popups and dropdowns that close themselves every time I click the devtools now chrome devtools has "emulate a focused page" to fix that

I feel like a large amount of GDP is locked up because it is difficult for person A to very conveniently pay 5 cents to person B. Current high fixed costs per transaction force each of them to be of high enough amounts, which results in business models with purchase bundles, subscriptions, ad-based, etc., instead of simply pay-as-you-go. As an example, I'd like my computer to auto-pay 5 cents to the article/blog that I just read but I can't, and I think we're worse for it. In a capitalist system, transactions between entities are the gradient signal of the economy. Because our pipes don't support low magnitude terms in the sums, the gradients are not flowing properly through the system. I'm not familiar enough with payments to have an idea of specific solutions, but I expect we'd see a lot of positive 2nd / 3rd order effects if the gradients were allowed to flow properly, frictionlessly and with much higher resolution.

*UPDATED* (and still true) When you build "luxury" new apartments in big numbers, the influx of supply puts downward pressure on rents at all price points -- even in the lowest-priced Class C rentals. Here's evidence of that happening right now: There are 21 U.S. markets where Class C rents are falling at least 4% YoY. What is the common denominator? You guessed it: Supply. Of those, all but one have supply expansion rates ABOVE the U.S. average. There's no demand issue in any of these 12 markets. They're all among the absorption leaders nationally -- places like Austin, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Raleigh/Durham, Atlanta, Tampa, Dallas, Charlotte, Orlando, etc. But they all have a lot of new supply. Simply put: Supply is doing what it's supposed to do when we build A LOT of apartments. It's a process academics call "filtering." New pricey apartments are pulling up higher-income renters out of moderately priced Class B units, which in turn cut rents to lure Class C renters, and on down the line it goes. Less anyone still in doubt, here's another factoid: Where are Class C rents growing most? You guessed it (I hope!) -- in markets with little new supply. Class C rent growth topped 4% in 22 of the nation's 150 largest metro areas, and nearly all of them have limited new apartment supply. Most new construction tends to be Class A "luxury" because that's what pencils out due to high cost of everything from land to labor to materials to impact fees to insurance to taxes, etc. So critics will say: "We don't need more luxury apartments!" Yes, you do. Because when you build "luxury" apartments at scale, you will put downward pressure on rents at all price points. Spread the word.
