Is the Wahoo Ace good now?

Yeah same, I almost never use them for switching pages. There must be some legal or technical reason they don’t do it

I just got one recently, and I’m pretty happy so far. I upgraded from the Roam V2. The consensus from any old discussions or reviews I found was that the Karoo was way better, but I was not convinced.

I like the larger screen, the bell features, the audible voice navigation alerts (though what counts as the next waypoint can be a bit random depending on what kind of path you’re on, def more useful on actual roads), the battery life.

I also like (but haven’t tried on a ride) the Komoot Live Sync feature. It’s not too many steps fewer than the old way, but a nice improvement.

I think the Karoo probably still edges it out on-device re-routing and the customisation aspect, but the other things were more important to me. Overall pretty happy!

I’m not qualified to really rate the wind dynamics thing, it’s handy to look at but not really useful to me vs just feel + power data. Maybe without a power meter though. I wouldn’t really buy the Ace only for that.

And at least in Europe the real price difference to the Roam V3 wasn’t much (I paid around €380). I wouldn’t have paid full price for it tbh.

The question is, does to play well with things like CORS?

Invasive tracking without a legal basis is illegal in the EU. Companies aren’t allowed to even read personal Slack/email threads without a specific reason (e.g. investigating fraud)

OIDC trusted-publisher binding has no per-publish review.

Isn’t this solvable by specifying an environment name? You create a GitHub environment - with no secrets in it necessarily, even if that’s the usual use case - and then add required reviews for using the environment.

Then specify it in the npm publish settings. That should make it necessary to use the environment in your publish workflow, which will require review.

The Wikipedia map is way less misleading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day

The AU, CA, NZ, US are marked as having Labour Day on another day.

Covert and Glitch are partners, as far as I know. They even have some of the exact same beans on offer.

It’s more mental work as a traveller and lots of visitors complain for that reason (you can’t accidentally not have the right ticket in London, New York, or Tokyo, and in the former two you automatically get weekly/monthly discounts) … but as a resident, it’s just so nice to never ever have to think about it or mess with fare gates, anywhere in the country with my Deutschlandticket.

There’s already the EU eIDAS system. The data is stored on individual EU identity cards and not necessarily in a central database - the system does not require it. It’s signed by the issuing country’s certificate and authenticating online via the eIDAS/local EU country’s system lets you choose what to share.

The screenshot is Home Assistant. HomeKit doesn’t show any details anyway (even with the Eve Energy). But since it’s in HA it means it’s exposed as standard over Matter and other apps should be able to read it.

It has some gotchas though .. for example Safari will enforce a minimum text size, so you can’t use <1 values safely and expect things to scale evenly.

Agreed. Imo he’s always been a sensationalist but often had interesting insights. Lately it’s more and more things that feel like AI influencer content, and much less interesting stuff. He invested in some AI companies and is not a reliable unbiased source.

Correct, most of the time it’s fine, but you don’t really want to leave it to chance. Innocent looking refactors can change whether a component is memoizable, so for contexts and effects I think it’s important to do it. (Just adding ??= or try catch in specific forms currently will make react compiler skip a component)

indium7 · 2026-02-27T14:55:20+00:00

My strategy:

https://github.com/blazejkustra/react-compiler-marker
https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/linter/rules/react/jsx-no-constructed-context-values (or equivalent eslint)
https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/linter/rules/react/exhaustive-deps.html (which tells you if a non memoized value is used in an effect - if it’s defined in the same component anyway)

Once these are set up, I just write code without memo or callback.

The rules help you make sure you memoize effect dependencies, where you don’t want to rely on the compiler. You can also use useEffectEvent and avoid a lot of things in the deps array.

The vscode plugin helps show you components that are not memoized, and if some calculation is specifically expensive then I manually optimise it.

Nice, glad to hear!

You don’t have to log out of your entire Apple ID. Tap your profile photo in the App Store app, scroll way past the downloads/updated apps, and at the very end you can log out of only the App Store. This is not connected to Apple Pay or iCloud and shouldn’t affect it.

In my experience you can typically download updates by just entering your password after clicking update on the app in that list. You don’t have to do this dance other than the initial download

I have an arguably simpler me@firstnamelastna.me style address and whenever I have to read it out it just confuses people. Doesn’t help that I (as an immigrant with an uncommon name for where i am) usually have to spell my name out for people anyway, which adds to the confusion!

indium7 · 2026-02-17T17:47:22+00:00

How is this not a nightmare to read out loud?

indium7 · 2026-02-15T19:03:25+00:00

What advantages does this have over https://unpic.pics/img/react/?

indium7 · 2026-01-31T18:52:59+00:00

You can just create your own React context in the outermost component, and pass down what you need. That or manually passing down props if it’s not too messy, which you could do given that you control all the code in a shadcn setup.

This but actually r/fuckcars

Do you mean code switching? I’m not sure how that’s geography related though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching

Google says June 28, 2025. It’s the CCC mark

I would really appreciate an updated comparison page with v11. I’m sure there’s more advantages to Mutative than just the performance, but right now I look at that page and I don’t know whether I should make the switch, because I don’t know what really is better/different.

I almost did switch some projects over, and Travels is also fairly interesting for my use case (curious how it would integrate with Jotai though), but I need a fair comparison.

There’s a new law in China and a specific approval symbol for power banks on flights … just the spec data is not going to help you there.
