Andrew F @aftd.dev · 30/06/2026Also Kavanaugh demonstrating the de facto bankruptcy of originalism: "Ah, well, we can make exceptions to the plain text of the Constitution because clearly people in 1868 didn't anticipate temporary visitors to America!" 000
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 30/06/2026I harbor a special disdain for Gorsuch here, who demonstrates awareness of what the administration is trying to do (and has already done) and why that's bad but just dances around it with a "ah but you didn't ask the question right". 100
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 27/06/2026There's a mini trend of boba (or boba-adjacent) tea shops using rectangular shaped containers that don't fit standard cup holders in cars, and I don't like it. 020
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 22/06/2026I threw together something similar for myself: geshido.com/slip-switch. Not in the dock but a slim rail / overlay to give me one-click access to notes and tasks. I've been pretty happy with it so far. 110
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 21/06/2026I was looking up the origin of the word "echo" and came across this and it's funny how this page design screams "I am authoritative and absolutely not an AI hallucination" www.cornellcollege.edu/classical_st... 100
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 30/04/2026My hot take is that bsky.app/profile/stec... labels should be on by default for everyone. 100
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 21/04/2026A little too much burrito filling but pretty tasty: Amylu chicken sausage, shredded cheese, avocados, red grape tomatoes, Calabrian chili #goodLunch 070
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 20/03/2026Futzin' with a little reminder / alarm clock UI with a non-linear slider. One of those things that feels conceptually nice but not sure yet if the extra confusion over a simple linear slider is worth it. #buildInPublic 041
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 10/03/2026AFAIK, toilet paper doesn't come via the Strait of Hormuz but ... you know, just in case. 020
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 06/01/2026An attempt at sombreroni, plus discard pile. Package said to precook for 6 minutes but most of the hats fell apart by then. I might try 4 minutes next time. 030
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 28/12/2025From the Wikipedia article on CA HSR. "We started building before we had a plan because otherwise the fed money goes away" is such an American dysfunction. 010
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 27/09/2025A specific thing I tried to make happen at Slack was doing side by side previews for previews like this. We actually shipped it! But it seems to have regressed at some point and probably got unshipped. 120
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 05/09/2025Sometimes you accidentally lose a pinned tab because you unintentionally navigate to a different site without opening a new tab. Tab Bag remembers the original pinned site, so you can quickly restore a pinned tab to its default 100
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 05/09/2025One annoyance with Chrome's pinned tabs is that they automatically launch when you start up your browser, eating up memory even if you don't open them. Tab Bag lets you pin tabs as a lightweight placeholder that doesn't launch the pinned site until you click on it. 3/5 100
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 05/09/2025Here it is syncing pinned tabs across windows. It's not quite the same as how Arc Favorites live across spaces (each window has its own instance), but it at least provides quick access. You can toggle it on and off per window too. 2/5 100
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 19/08/2025Kennedy Park in Hayward was one of my favorites growing up. Snack shop + not too far from restaurants. 010
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 06/08/2025Wait, is this a regional jump? Because you can definitely still get a pound of thigh meat in the SF Bay Area for $3.50 (or, more accurately, 2.5lb at $8.73). 000
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 08/07/2025Contrast this to the "historic" Murphy Ave. Part of it is yes, the street is closed off now, but also everything is smaller and closer together and it feels nice! 020
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 08/07/2025I will say that Sunnyvale hasn't quite nailed mixed use buildings. Like, the residential stuff is fine but the commercial space is just way too big? There's no reason a Melt needs to be this tall. 410
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 07/07/2025"The Cylons, a race of cybernetic machines, defeat nearly all of humanity with malware." "Ah, because they're AIs and thus really good at fucking up computers, right?" "..." "They fuck the computers, right?" 070
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 03/07/2025I mean, in the example making the rounds today, the guy actually listed multiple companies on his LinkedIn at the same time so ... ask about that? news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4444... 110
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 25/05/2025Pet peeve: Why do these water jug things always have the tap slightly above the bottom of the container, so you have to tip it to get the last bit of water? 110
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 14/05/2025I appreciate this feature a lot more when dealing with a show that likes to drop three episodes at once on you. 010
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 07/05/2025Some LLMs (like ChatGPT and Gemini) can trigger an old fashioned web search which they then summarize. The ask is that the UI show this as a separate step. In this example, Gemini cites a source but it doesn't tell me the search term (nor does it quote the actual relevant part of the source) 020
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 19/04/2025Our setup isn't very conducive to gardening, but kiddo came back from visiting grandparents one day with a bag full of strawberry plants so we made do. First weeks were rough because some animal kept digging them up, but they're doing alright now. 020
Andrew F @aftd.dev · 16/04/2025And here's Google Analytics abusing the "mandatory email" without an unsubscribe for marketing purposes. 030
