#WWDC25 thoughts thread: First up, not sure how accessible or easy to read this new design language will be. Past experience with transparency oriented stuff in macOS is not giving me a lot of hope.
It's wild to me that Waymo is always more expensive than Uber or Lyft, has a longer waiting time, and still hundreds of thousands of people use the service. Can't imagine this would ever happen in Bangalore for any service.
After using public transit for two weeks in Tokyo, it is painfully clear how slow the BART and Muni fare gates are.
Just went through the TTP immigration gate and it was super quick and smooth! All it took was scanning my passport, boarding pass, and index fingerprint. Immediate question that comes to mind: what happens if any of those scans fail? Fall back to the regular talk-to-a-person immigration method?
Woke up thinking about sand and sand timers, and it took me a good ten minutes to realize I was thinking of an hourglass ⏳
@cynthiadunlop.bsky.social just saw your comment on Ask HN about your book! could i please get a copy? 🙏🏼🫣
Every time I’m in SF 🌁 I randomly bump into friends from Bangalore, on the road, in a park, outside a cafe. Every. Single. Time. And that’s beautiful.
The new electrified Caltrain is so good! Super smooth, so quiet, and free high speed wifi — hard to believe you're not in a European train ⚡
Bit disappointing that peak outdoor brightness on the MacBook Pro has stayed at 1000 nits for many years now
I cannot stress enough just how incredible the 16 Pro camera system is. This is straight off the camera, zero edits.
Salesforce may have acquired it, but Slack continues to be occasionally cute.

Can't think of a better word to hate than "degrowth" given how much it is misused all the time
Jokes are NP-Complete for me; I can recognize a good joke instantly, but it takes me an inordinately long time to generate my own.

A lovely read on the origins and future of the humble pour-over coffee: worksinprogress.co/issue/how-po... TIL espresso was invented as a time-saving measure! ☕️
How pour-over coffee got good - Works in Progress
Pour-over coffee has long been popular with coffee enthusiasts, but it frustrated coffee shops because it takes so long to make. That’s changing.

I am looking for opportunities in Europe. If you're hiring for senior Android/KMP roles, let's get in touch. In industry for 13+ years (mostly in Android), working with KMP for ~6 years, led KMP in my current org with 200+ m users. Will need Visa and relocation support.
This never-ending rainfall without any thunder is reminding me of my time Fuji Rock 2019. Cyclonic rainfall is not normal in the center of the Deccan plateau.
I wrote a blog post that's really just an excuse to trick you into watching @worrydream.com's Inventing on Principle talk
The pursuit of fast feedback loops in Android development
There's something magical about having a direct connection to what we're building

19 minutes of your weekend deserves to go to this talk. No words, loved every minute!
Cabel Sasser@cabel.panic.com · 2y agoI gave a talk at the final XOXO conference. At first, I thought I'd revisit my first talk from ten years ago. But it turned into something different. Something about life, and art, and… McDonalds? 19 minutes. Try to go in without spoilers and watch until the end. 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df_K...
