I think that’s a feature. Not a bug.

I see where you're coming from, but I think it's less the fact that they _can_ use an LLM to do this and more that they can't guarantee anybody else has exercised equal diligence with their code or equal experience with browser engines.

It's not unreasonable to feel conflicted about this, but at the same time, I wonder if they're starting to burn out on code review.

From the flip side, 10 years in, I've been getting really into art.

It's not cheap, but it's easier to do my job with the thought that I have art this week and next week and maybe I'll get to teach it someday too.

It feels healthy to not let your work control your life after retirement. There's so much else out there to do.

An engraving pen on glass? Why not get some sheet glass and a stick of color. Write it directly onto the glass _in glass_

I used to work on bikes professionally, and this was the first place we went for help. Even today, it's one of the clearest resources out there

It isn't entirely that.

Somewhat, sure.

It's also managers who tell you you're being laid off, but good news, not for three months. And, oh, by the way, if you leave early no severance.

And why are you being laid off?

Your duties are being offshored.

_You_ aren't being offshored because they need three people to replace you, but your duties are.

Ostensibly this saves money.

It's named 4.0.0-alpha1. Just add the 1 and the link works

You tell that to everybody with a glioblastoma.

Go ahead, tell them the aggressive mass in their brain, the thing that shortened whatever potential life expectancy they had to, at best, single digit years, isn’t a guaranteed death sentence.

They’ll be so comforted by the idea that maybe their already shortened life expectancy will be further reduced by a car accident or some idiot with a knife.

Of course they're misleading. What did the doctor tell us when my mom was diagnosed? Don't do research, do not trust Dr. Google, Dr. Google lies. At best, Dr. Google is behind the times.

The specifics of your case will strongly affect what happens to you. And even for cancers that are a guaranteed death sentence, survival has increased significantly in recent years.

And go see the demos! Or watch their YouTube channel!

Assuming you aren't looking for an exact millimeter-for-millimeter version of the spiral condenser, I bet you could find someone to make it in the US quite easily.

It's still one of the major glassblowing countries. In fact, if you remember when folks were worried about those two quartz mines in Spruce Pine, NC that are the only place with pure enough quartz for chips? That's also the home of Spruce Pine Batch, one of the big glass suppliers in America.

Ironically with glass itself, it's the ones that take less time that tend to be better.

Especially any borosilicate glass with a hard edge

You might notice that this link isn't from Corning. It's from the Corning Museum of Glass' excellent library

Narvar's tracking emails are mostly-image

And on the one hand, it's cool as hell to see your email update itself to show tracking progress

On the other hand, just send me a new email. It's fine, I promise.

Regarding your comment about the notion of semantic HTML - I think HTML lacks an easily found ground-up course or series or articles or whatnot about how you get there.

MDN talks about when a specific element is appropriate, but it doesn’t really help you discover those elements that might be relevant.

There’s a lot of politics happening to us in real life right now too

I'll be honest, I think LAX's traffic is better than SFO's. It feels like there's a lot less spaghetti at LAX, the shortcuts are reasonable, and you don't have separate international and domestic loops.

It's a fascinating edge case, but also feels like a silly choice of company name for this exact reason.

What other systems are going to shut you out for your choice of company name?
