- dado3212What makes you say that? This didn't read like AI slop to me.
- Unfortunately most of the benefit of this was undone by Apple's rollback of their family emoji rendering to just be shapes :/. Cool UX though!
- The font is rendering as nearly invisible. I'm guessing due to some incorrect dark mode styling?
- Did a similar deep dive for one of the posters for the cult classic movie Possession (1981). Just giving random phone numbers a call is incredibly effective, lots of people are happy to reminisce about old work and have great stories.
- I'm glad that PHP has adopted more and more from Hack, Facebook's once fork and now completely separate language - https://hacklang.org/. It was never going to replace it (Go's success separate from Google has astounded me to be honest) but it heavily influencing PHP's direction feels like the best of both worlds.
- I ended up doing this with Screen Time, but not knowing my own passcode. Having a partner or close friend is generally the approach I'd recommend, but you can also do this with iPhone Mirroring — I wrote up a how to guide in https://blog.alexbeals.com/posts/setting-an-unknown-screen-t....
- I did something very similar for Fitness SF in the Bay Area!
- FYI your Wix portfolio URL is broken.
- I don’t think it says anything useful for crawled but not indexed, unfortunately. My suspicion is that it’s almost always backlinks, but not totally sure.
- Related, but to whichever PM put the "AI Mode" on the far left side of the toolbar, thus breaking the muscle memory from clicking "All" to get back from "Images", I expect some thanks for unintentionally boosting your CTR metrics.

- I'm a big fan of sidenotes as a solution for this. If you're on desktop they'll pop out to the side and it's easy enough to glance over at them or stay focused on the main text without having to navigate around. On mobile that obviously doesn't work, but instead you can just have them open inline, so you don't have to deal with the annoying anchor link jump behavior and remembering where you were. And it's all doable with CSS and float, no Javascript!
Here's an example with a fair number of sidenotes:
- Recently, a lot of reverse engineering. I’ve been writing them up on my blog, so there’s a growing list of technical deep dives from this year: around Letterboxd with mitmproxy[0], iOS Shortcuts deeplinks[1], the QR codes for Fitness SF[2], and binary patching some non-open source code[3]. Hopefully followable even if you don’t have as much debugging or reverse engineering experience.

- I also handled these all the time as a kid in northern Oregon, literally hundreds in a day because they would hang out in a series of lakes nearby. Is there a non-poisonous rough-skinned newt variant? I find it impossible to believe that as a young kid I wouldn’t have licked my fingers after years of doing this.

- Neat, $17,500 is pretty good, I’m so used to these blog posts being for peanuts, or where companies fix the vulnerability but don’t pay out at all. Apple’s gotten better about this since 2019.
- A juvenile, just under a foot. Direct footage on YouTube here[0] if you don’t want to click through ads.
- Wrong title?
