There’s not a lot the opposition can do. Elections have consequences and now people are gonna have to live with it. People stayed home or decided to vote against their own interest. It’s not like there wasn’t a previous track record to compare. Selective amnesia is not an excuse.
> Elections have consequences and now people are gonna have to live with it.
yes they do, but it seems dems favorability are fading [0]
> People stayed home or decided to vote against their own interest.
it seems like the democrats standard mode of operation is to always wait for the opposition to screw up everything (2008, 2020) and then anoint some weak candidates (2016, 2020, 2024) and run on "we're better vote for us" and then get run over at the next election cause they didn't do much as expected (and their horrible messaging) [1]
the democrats need to clear out their decrepit leadership or its just gonna continue to slide worse and worse
I don’t disagree. But nobody should be surprised by everything that’s happening right now. Most people justified their vote by saying he’s either joking or it won’t happen to me or my loved ones and are getting buyers remorse now. There were two options and one was much worse than the other.
Frankly, the Democratic party epically and massively failed their constituency by first running a mummy and then attempting to run perhaps the most unlikable, unrelatable, disconnected candidate of my lifetime - that literally zero people voted for.
It's not the people's fault, it's the party's... the party thought everyone would just jump when told to do so.
How was Kamala Harris more disconnected than, say, Mitt Romney, a billionaire who said that half of voters believed they were victims and were mooching off the government?
Or for that matter, how is she less disconnected than Donald Trump, who bragged about being able to get away with sexually assaulting people because he's famous?
No message should have still won out against a message of hating everything about America, but here we are.
I agree that the Democrats are feckless, but still let's not forget which direction is up. (personally I think they're just coasting along and assuming they'll still be elites in whatever "new order" arises as long as they don't stick their heads up)
In the past I’ve been hesitant about Obsidian, but I tried this with my hugo site (hosted on AWS Amplify) and I’m liking the workflow. I like the fact that it creates a vault for my blog directory and the front matter is shown as properties that are easy to edit. Yes I can use VSCode for that, but I like the polished markdown editor. Or that I don’t have to copy/paste content. It’s not revolutionary but a good improvement to my workflow.
I don't disagree with you. Especially the native development limitations. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer here. You just have to adjust your expectations and learn to live with your choices.
Thanks!! I'm usually making this decision because I'm an older developer. I'd rather try making it on my own than having 25 year old manager micromanaging me. At this point, I'd rather switch careers than getting a traditional 9-to-5 development job.
I cycle close to 100 miles per week and a having a good Weather app makes a huge difference for planning my rides. I developed https://apolloweather.com/ after Apple announced it was shutting down Dark Sky.
For me the most important thing is not the accuracy but having easier access to certain metrics to make better decisions. Feels Like and wind are a priority for me. Also UV Index during summer (I live in Florida). I want to know the best days to ride. I also want to know if I should use a thermal base layer or leg warmers. I’m willing to accept some discomfort during the first hour if it will get warmer later. Some rain is acceptable when is warmer. No rain is acceptable when its cold.
Will I have a headwind on the way back? Then I should manage my energy better during the first half.
As long as I see the big picture quickly for the whole week, I’m Ok with accuracy being less than perfect.
I went with WeatherKit because it was easy to use. TBH I never paid too much attention to the accuracy since I care more about the big picture. I’ve used many weather apps since I started cycling and learned to live with it. I treat the one that I use at the moment as the source of truth.
This might be a bit of a stretch but I believe native mobile apps is what triggered complexity in web apps. The bar was raised and users were expecting performance and experience equal or better than native mobile apps.
What are your users saying? Especially mobile users. Are they expecting a native experience? Engineering decisions that sacrifice user experience usually don’t have a happy ending. As a native iOS developer the best feedback I can get is when somebody tells me that my app looks like it was developed by Apple. I like using vanilla controls as much as possible. But as previously mentioned its all about tradeoffs.
