Strada is just a standardized communication layer between native code and your Turbo web app. Turbo native is the native wrapper for the web app and that has been available for years and is used by a bunch of apps.
The bathroom hand drier they invented is/was cool. No heat and knocking the water off with a faster jet of air by pushing it through a smaller hole was a decent improvement.
I prefer a simple paper towel dispenser or if you want to be more sustainable one with a reusable cloth towel "ribbon". But yeah the Dyson driers are better than the heated blowers.
I remember seeing studies showing how unhealthy it is because germs are spread in the air when using it. I assume this is the case with competition too and not Dyson specific.
Hi, I'm the author. I made this itch-scratcher for myself and now I'm seeing if people want, or even understand it.
I have 3 calendars (personal and 2 work ones) and I often find myself copying events between them. Copying holiday between them.. flights.. early starts etc for the people who look at my calendars (family and colleagues). Keeping these events in sync is occasionally super annoying.
This lets you sync events between them..
Only Google calendars for now. I'd probably tackle Microsoft calendars next if people actually use it.
>you are all whining about: the organic results have icons and the ad says "Ad" instead.
You're being condescending but appear to have missed the point. The "Ad" text in Google's results is in the exact same position and is effectively the same pixel dimensions as the favicon.
It's cleverly designed and placed to resemble a favicon, to give the over-all layout more uniformity between ads and organic results.
As a user, I want less uniformity between ads and organic results, not more.
DDG is hiding the "Ad" label on their shopping carousel, with unreadable #888 light grey text. That part is worse than Google's darker #666 (and longer word) "Sponsored".
The screenshot doesn't show any Ad links in the text list results (unless the ads are wholly unlabeled).
One could argue the words surrounding the carousel on DGG ("Shopping" and "Ad") are slightly more transparent than Google's "Sponsored" heading, but that's splitting hairs I guess.
In either case, I find both carousels pretty obvious in their intent. Maybe it's because the prices are being shown? I think more sophisticated internet users are trained to know that when you see a $xx.xx price on the internet, along with a link to purchase the item, there's probably some kind of commercial relationship happening behind the scenes.
These days, whenever I see a product mentioned anywhere on the web with links to purchase it, I default to assuming it's an affiliate link.
Well.. the DuckDuckGo and Google implementations are a little different but on both sites the ads are designed to blend into the organic results. If we weren't talking about the icon we could talk about the background colour, font, text colour, layout, URL in green etc. I don't begrudge DuckDuckGo, they have a very large competitor on their hands and wish them a lot of luck.
An official party social media account changing it's branding to masquarade as a fact checking service during a televised debate? The intent to mislead is clear.
If this is predicting electric bikes that can keep up with the current speed of the roads, I don't think it sounds meaningfully different from light motorcycles in terms of infrastructure. The vulnerability of the traveller sounds the same. But perhaps the lighter vehicle and environmental benefit will help it reach a critical mass where change will happen..
I think we're generally headed for slower roads in built up areas. It's the cheapest option. 15mph roads will probably be safe enough for cyclists and I personally believe stopping distances have got to come down a lot if we're ever going to let the robots drive cars in towns.
> This one remains the most important principle and it’s not without reason. Well paid focus groups have shown that the very first thing a user wants to do when visiting your web site in their web browser is to install a mobile application.
I tried to move from Chrome's profiles to Firefox's container tabs. I prefer Chrome's take on it where sessions are shared across all tabs in a window rather than across similarly styled tabs in the same window.
.. I just went to find the github issue for other people with a similar need[0] and found someone has posted a link to an extension called sticky containers. A new tab opens in the same container of the last one. It's actually pretty close to what I'm after..
Firefox has always had profiles, very much acting like Chrome's, but for some reason they didn't make it easy to use. Navigate to:
about:profiles
Now you can have multiple windows, each window with its own profile and the profile determines everything, from the browser's history to the extensions installed.
I have tried them but it wasn't simple to use multiple profiles at once, nor was it obvious which profile you were using. I felt as though Firefox was discouraging their use. Are you using them?
I now do the "about:profiles" thing I mentioned. I don't know why they aren't exposing Profiles in the UI in an intuitive manner, makes no sense. For my day to day use, I think Multi-Account Containers are better though.
