“Hyperbole isn’t the worst crime. Men suffer more from imagining too little than too much.” —The Greatest Showman

Just encountered my first public API I want to use that is GraphQL only. 👎 If you care about your third-party ecosystem, please do not do this. #DX #API

Ooo Fitbit Versa 2 announced $FIT https://www.producthunt.com/posts/fitbit-versa-2

Finished “Orange is the New Black” just now. Such a well acted, thought provoking series.

Yay! I have been able to lend to 58 of the 77 countries Kiva operates in—and there are no loans available in the remaining countries at the moment.

Answer: in tsconfig.json, add compilerOptions.lib = ["es2018"]

The lack of `"dom"` will remove `window` globals.

I want to use `node-fetch` because Node.js annoyingly does not have `fetch`, but TypeScript keeps complaining `fetch` was also declared in lib.dom.d.ts. This is a Node.js-only app, which does not have DOM. How do I fix this other than renaming the import? #nodejs

Using an Apple Card backed by Goldman Sachs—who admitted “serious misconduct” and was fined $5B for its role in the 2008 financial crisis—is the tech equivalent of rolling coal.

Does anyone else have to turn their Wi-Fi off and on after reconnecting to a network from sleep in order to actually connect? Both my personal and work MacBook Pro laptops have this problem on most Wi-Fi networks.

Inspired by Mozilla’s anti tracking policy, Apple wrote its own WebKit Tracking Prevention Policy for Safari. It’s good. #privacy https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention-policy/

I spoke Swedish in my dream for the first time after about 8 months of daily app practice. I only said one sentence: “Jag är vegetarian.”

CSS Grid is such a beautiful abstraction. In less than 3 hours of studying it, I am creating magazine layouts on the Web my yearbook teacher in high school would be proud of.

Pssttt… The best perk of an ACM.org membership is its access to O’Reilly Learning (fka Safari Books Online). ACM costs $75 for your first year, much less than O’Reilly Learning. Be sure to sign up with your personal email address.

The brain drain at npm continues to concern me. I keep wondering why its board of directors does not intervene.

Yarn won’t save us because it uses npm’s registry.

Entropic seems promising, but I think a better effort would be to bring Deno’s URL-based module loading to Node. 🤔

The only way leaf blowers could get louder is if Dyson makes one.

My best 2019 tech conference talk idea is just a jeremiad of things I like that aren’t popular but should be.

2019 might be the first year since 2013 I don’t speak at a conference. 2018–2019 have been rebuilding years professionally. I don’t have anything insightful to say about them yet. Not a big enough audience interested in my thoughts on Firefox extensions or FitbitOS watchfaces.
