There is a big problem in that the purple is much less visible when it appears on top of your own piece vs. a free square. I would suggest instead to color code it red when one of your own pieces is being attacked.
There is no need to show the squares your pieces are attacking IMO (yellow heatmap)
Why not take this further to count up the simple point value of attacking/defending pieces, so e.g. a pawn that is attacked by a pawn but defended by a pawn won't show red, whereas an attacked but undefended knight would show '-3 redness'.
Also if this was just briefly 'flashed' after the opponents move, or after you reopen a browser tab, it might serve as a nice reminder of the positional situation without interfering with regular/plain board visualisation, and without making the player reliant on it.
It’s still a “fancy” or too niche a phone. It neither has the reach, nor the supply chain backbone. By the time it reaches critical operational/business mass phone landscape would have had changed. Just like it’ll happen with frame.work.
You'll really need to come with some backup of your claims.
Because it simply isn't true. FP has been around for 10 years now, making phones, learning, scaling up. They sold close to a million phones every year since 2020 (last year over 1100000 phones). And while a million phones isn't much compared to iPhones or Pixels, it's bigger than many other small phone companies (Chinese or not).
They've been diversifying with headphones, and earbuds. And with t he last edition, they finally felt confident with supply chains to guarantee spare parts for decades to come.
I've never been able to do this as there's usually 1-2 hours of cleanup to do after bed time. And directly after bed time I have very little will left to do housework so instead the cleanup gets delayed til 9/10pm. (3 kids) Rinse repeat :(
Including the kid in the chores from as early as he possibly could has been a huge win for us. At 6 he can now handle stuff like simple food preparation, emptying the dishwasher and folding his own clothes pretty much unsupervised. That saves a lot of time on the evening clean up.
It depends on the kids, the ages, and the phase of the moon - but I've had good success making a daily habit of "kids, time to pack up" half an hour before their bedtime routine.
We go together through the house and find good places for everything, figure out what they want to do with in-progress activities, etc.
When I started this practice, it took three people and twenty minutes to do five minutes worth of cleaning, but the kids get faster as they learn (a skill they might find useful in their own home, one day).
Decentralisation in that you'd preferentially download 'web' content via your friends. Every house has an always-on server and networking hardware to enable selected local connections (long range WiFi?) across town with no reliance on an ISP.
Think Wikipedia content living in tens of millions of locations around the world, with updates being pushed out with versioning and flagging if your extended network lacks consensus on a change.
has always served me better than blame.
It can better jump file boundaries and find e.g. prior code that the code in question was copied from.
I've always thought though that we need better conflict resolution that is code aware. And also better changeset specification, e.g. if a commit is equivalent to a s/foo/bar/ then this information should be included in the commit, or if a function signature has changed, then record that fact, rather than the dumb line by line diffs.
This is wonderful. I’ve often fantasised about unifying the command line and the desktop into a single UI paradigm and this project could just give me a realistic shot at trying it out.
Another idea: instead of having Photoshop/Excel etc. clones, have a document centric rather than application centric UI and allow features to be installable when they are needed (micro-apps?). E.g. Gaussian blur or spellchecking could be things you’d add from a microapp directory which would add an extra button to your interface for images and documents respectively.. you’ll build up a personalised interface and ‘own’ it, rather than being presented with a sea of unknown buttons/menu-items.
My night time wakings have a very clear and strong association with those periods of time when I’m working on my side-project/startup. The bbc article mentions ‘meditating on your dreams’ as an activity for this time, however I’m likely to have a mind racing with all permutations of technical problems that I’ve evidently not managed to clear from my brain. Does anyone have experience-based advice on whether it’s better to try to do a few hours work at 3am vs. getting out of the bed and e.g. reading fiction (which I believe is the best advice to break the cycle of negative association that can build up if you are lying in bed awake and annoyed)
Personally I find that trying to work at 3am is a bad idea. The backlighting (no matter how much blue-light filtering you have) will wake you up, and even if you solve the problems that are keeping you awake now, you're almost guaranteed to get back in bed with new ones to be thinking about.
