“Super Mario was based on an Italian man I saw die in an accident on a construction site. I thought to myself, ‘What if that man had been killed by a gorilla, rather than negligence?’ - Shigeru Miyamoto
Happy Mario day!
Cool! Can you share a weird “just for Harry” thing about it?
I ate the new McDonalds “Big Arch” product and it was…fine?…but absolutely not worth $9.36 (sandwich only, SoCal price). I now sympathize with their CEO a bit more.
Simon, have you ever done a deep dive into pressure testing? I do this with my iOS coding plug-in/MCP with good results. www.reddit.com/r/axiomdev/c...
“Hey, they’re copying our plagiarism machine!” 🙃
Cool! You could use Axiom to create the iOS app. 😊 charleswiltgen.github.io/Axiom/

Apple’s Peter Hoddie: “Do you want us to knife the baby?” (referring to killing QuickTime for Windows)
Microsoft's Christopher Phillips: “Yes, we're talking about knifing the baby”.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.
We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

"I'm havin a breakdown," says one crudely-drawn stick figure to another. "You'll be OK," says the second. The first stick figure exclaims, "AGGHHH", and collapses. His head and outstretched arms and legs spell out the letters O-K.

It's like, how much more dark could this be? And the answer is none. None more dark.
This is absurd, bordering on a Bitcoin-level grift. If you’re looking for evidence that the AI bubble is on the cusp of bursting, here’s Exhibit A.
Our President is less and less woke every day.
Mike Johnson simply doesn’t know. Why would he?
Loved this, thanks for resurfacing it @rands.bsky.social.
Sure, they’re used on Safari as well, and I’ve personally never used a PWA that didn’t work on Safari. My point is that Firefox and Safari having slightly less complete support for PWAs than Chrome is not why PWAs are failing.
So, for browser makers, investment in PWA support remains a bet on an unlikely future. Even so, Apple’s PWA support is quite good (pwascore.com), and based on Safari Technology Preview, is about to become even better. Anyone not rooting for that is anti-web.
The simpler and more obvious truth is that nobody likes PWAs. It’s not like they’re used on non-Apple platforms. Developers aren’t making them, sites aren’t promoting them, and consumers don’t even know they exist.
My friend, is Apple’s incomplete support for the *shorthand* representation of CSS properties which control the appearance of decorative lines on text the best you can do? Surely there are better smoking guns.
