there's a cool background to Dali's Temptation of St. Anthony.

In 1946, 11 surrealist painters were asked to submit a painting to be used in a film (Albert Lewin's "The Private Affairs of Bel Ami"). Among the contestants were Max Ernst (who won), Leonora Carrington, Dalì, Stanley Spencer, Dorothea Tanning. Among the judges was Marcel Duchamp. The painting is then shown in color - the only color scene in an otherwise black and white movie.

I think the reason why they specifically wanted the temptation of Saint Anthony had to do with censorship, but sadly I can't remember the details


That would be the third photo editing software that I like that Apple discontinues and I would very much not like it

to be fair, a lot of lessons about date/time API came way after that year

Some, yes, but if you looked at what was common outside of C programs this was antiquated even then. A SQL developer didn’t have to apply offsets and had better primitives for date math.

you have to consider the existence of PlainDate which is a Date without both a Time and a TimeZone

also: there is a certain popular library for web app development that is based on diffing state between renders based on object equality

directives sort of kinda work if you squint the eyes, but only as a crutch and only if you can't/don't want to change the API.

> Or they could go all in on internal modules, like how you can import `node:fs` now. They could include corrected versions of globals like `import Date from 'browser:date';`

This is what happened here, only the API changed as well


it's very sad that in Europe we have laws to guarantee "open banking" but in practice it's only B2B

one way to go around this is to use apps like Toshl which connect to banks (it is far from perfect but usable) and then if you are unhappy with the app you can use their API to sync with your own system

it's part of the Material Design 3 branding, for some reason. The original thread for the launch of the design system [1] is full of people baffled by Google making a cursor that lags

Look at all the rubes who can't understand that a lagging mouse cursor is an integral part of Google's Molasses-Forward Design Language Initiative.


I just checked Material Design 3, as I use a lot of it in projects, and it still uses Roboto font for everything, so they're not even dogfooding the Sans font there yet, but they'll make us suffer their cursor :)


there was definitely a time when iOS App Store did not have ads
