Luckin Coffee also opened a nearby location in the past few months. With inflation pushing costs up for companies like Starbucks, it’s nice to see cheaper options, though I can’t help wondering how they pull it off...

There’s a new store called Mixue that just opened in Koreatown, and people are lining up even in the rain. They sell $2 ice cream and very cheap coffee, and everything looks delicious.

It’s nice to be back to San Francisco, even if it’s just for a few days

A Republican recently said that Charlie Kirk would have been th "13th disciple" if he had lived during biblical times. That's not true—Charlie Kirk would have been Jesus Christ Himself.

I always enjoyed watching @mkbhd.com iPhone reviews before considering buying a phone but all we got this year is an unboxing video?

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

Fourth trip to India this year, to say bye to my grandma. Mornings are peaceful here

While you ponder how your app will adapt to the aesthetic on macOS, iOS, and other Apple platforms— Let @parakeet.co take care of your app icon (and any other in-app iconography you have). We’re really good at this. → parakeet.co

Apple should let users to limit network access to specific apps. I have this game that I love named offline games and they’re now starting to track so many things it’s becoming disturbing. Feels scary scammy

@gruber.foo Hello! I'm curious, do you have a Vision Pro and if so, do you still use it regularly? Thanks!

I wonder if we'll ever recover from the damage the Trump administration is doing to our country. 18F, for example, did only good things, in my opinion. Now, it's all lost.

I think the situation is different this time because the populist rage is directed against these elites. Who will restore the rule of law? Must it come from the MAGA movement, post Trump's presidency? Or do we need a populist rage against MAGA first, and then rethink who we are as a nation?

Stéphane Rangaya @stephane.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

What I’m now curious about is how, historically, the populist rage ended up handing back the “keys” it had stolen from the British to the very elites who wrote the Constitution. Could we apply a similar process in the future, or are the situations too different?

It seems the election of Biden gave us the illusion that the legalism of 1789 hadn’t retreated, that the rebellious spirit of 1776/2016 was just a brief, isolated moment in our history. But now that we know that’s not the case, I doubt we can simply return, in 2028, to how things were before

Hey Ed, I find your idea about Trump wanting to split the USA and America into two separate entities/concepts quite interesting. What resource would you recommend if I wanted to learn more about this idea? Thanks!

As a web developer, I think it will be challenging to build UIs that mimic this effect, especially if UI elements like buttons or the dock function this way, reflecting the colors of nearby elements without those elements being directly beneath them.

However, Apple seems to be moving toward a new paradigm, one where your device is not just a flat, horizontal surface but instead exists within a fully realized 3D world.

Stéphane Rangaya @stephane.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Most web UIs represent a 2D layering approach, where elements are stacked on top of each other, much like the original desktop metaphor of a computer.

Here, the color within the glass reflects the surrounding environment, creating a 3D, sideways reflection. This doesn’t resemble how glass interacts with objects placed on a table; rather, it mimics how glass behaves when objects are levitating, with content visible behind them.

Stéphane Rangaya @stephane.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

One thing I noticed in the WWDC 2025 material is how the glass effect works. Since the introduction of the translucent glass effect in iOS 18, we’ve used background blur to simulate this effect. However, the WWDC 2025 material is noticeably different.

Thank you for your service. 18F was one of my favorite thing about the US government

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

La France n’est pas loin du chaos politique que l’on a aux États-Unis depuis bientôt trois semaines. L’amateurisme, la haine du journalisme, les tendances fascistes. Ces signes sont déjà visible à l’extrême droite comme à l’extrême gauche française. Il reste deux ans pour changer de cap

I don't think it is wise to buy the AFEELA car. It's a partnership between Sony and Honda. Honda is in talks with Toyota for a merger. Both Honda and Toyota are making electric cars on their own
