Unfortunately, no. It allows you to select which photos an app has access to, and I doubt anybody uses it more than once because of how many taps it takes to include a new photo. Unless I'm missing something.

The Beach Boys, on a double bill with Chicago, Madison Square Garden Summer ‘75, were my first concert. No Brian, of course, but all the songs were his. So many amazing tunes! (Note: despite going with my dad, we got stoned out of our gourds from the pot those around us were smoking.)

You are surprised because you don’t quite conceive of how large of a footprint they have grown in the US healthcare system. All the boomers and genxers who used to be on MySpace are now on MyChart.

We have one story https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43175023 about a startup promising to identify factory workers giving, by management definition, less than 100% and yet CEOs can run multiple companies, take board seats, and oversee the American government. Of course the last one of those is so far adding huge value to all the others…

Something that I've often wished, as a primarily backend focused engineer, often without frontend support, is for designers or perhaps design engineers, to pretty much build Bootstrap themes. That would let me code to the Bootstrap docs (which are pretty good), while allowing us to brand or customise whatever we're working on. I've seen even contract designers push back on this idea, suggesting that doing such a thing is beneath them, and I've heard frontend engineers push back on using Bootstrap as the framework.

This has always struck me as odd. From my, admittedly naive, point of view, Bootstrap seems to be a reasonable framework for customisation. I've done this myself in personal projects. It just doesn't seem like others see it as a design system framework in that way. Few teams have capacity to develop their own design systems, but a Bootstrap theme seems to be most of the benefits with not a lot of effort. That said, I've never been particularly enthused with third party Bootstrap themes, they seem to have too much custom work and lock-in.

What am I missing? I've not used Tailwind, but it seems like perhaps the goal of Tailwind is to do something similar?

I, having decades of frontend development experience, asked this of my VP once. He said no designers would work for us if we did this.

Speaking of history podcasts, I've gone through Mike Duncan's Rome and Revolutions, the Fall of Civilizations, Dan Carlin's Hardcore Histories... any suggestions for more like this? I noticed there is a Byzantium history series that seemed interesting.

I joined the purchasing department at Prentice-Hall in 1988 and saw How to Use and Understand dBase III+, which we'd just published, on my boss's secretary's desk my first day. She so regretted letting me take that because my job was supposed to be Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets but I turned everything into Clipper apps after the first month. Clipper really made my career by turning me into a full-time developer (and not the contract analyst I was supposed to be...).

    const error = await updateName(newName);
Why would updateName return an error? Why not just throw an Error like JS/TS?

BillSaysThis · 9 months ago
updateName is a call to the backend/server to update the database...
