Beyond a meme at this point

The idea here is great and I think it has a lot of legs but I think inherently people will have initial concerns with security.

Do you have plans to only allow reading mail from specific senders, and giving fine-grained control on the API side?

I would like to give this to an AI agent but only initially where I and my team can forward mail to the agent, and not give it the ability to draft and send emails on its own.

Yes we are adding for email/domain allow/blocklists. Same for fine-grained permissions.

Where do you configure the allowlists?

Funny thing to say considering the author of Datasette himself says it's accurate.

The title of the post isn't asking HN users a question

Looks like a question to me. Even has a little curly punctuation mark at the end.

> The title of the post isn't asking *HN users* a question

So everyone else then? Sounds like someone is just grumpy today.

The headline of the article is a rhetorical question, one that the article itself then answers in detail. It's a very common device.

Yes, it is a common clickbait tactic. Also, rhetorical questions, by definition, don't get answered. If it's rhetorical then the article content is pointless? I don't see why this bothers you all. Saved me a click so I appreciate the comment.

True, but most people will have clicked through to the HN comments without reading the actual article. So I suppose it's helpful for the comments to give a succinct answer to the question for the people who don't know.

OK.

The biggest contributor to this was jQuery Mobile. Surprisingly, the "ThemeRoller" is still up, despite the project being discontinued. Quite a fun trip down memory lane.

Don't laugh, but we still have a big software solution based on jQuery Mobile up and running, used daily by hundreds of users on tablets and smartphones, and getting new features every few weeks.

(yes, a successor is planned, but it will be a huge amount of work)

I kind of miss the days where building a mobile app was just plopping giant widgets on a screen, and we didn't need giant figma files and design languages.

I don't, however, miss dealing with the 300ms click delay.

What bothers me more is that those giant Figma files don't have anything special about the design anymore. Very often they're just using some uncanny-valley version of Material Design. Companies spend a lot of time reinventing almost the exact same wheel for almost no benefit at all. So much wasted potential.

Isn't that exactly what he did when live-streaming on X last year?

"This is 2015 Periscope code. Yeah, seems like we just need to improve it a bit."

In TDD spec is converted to behaviours that can be ran as automated tests so if the logic of the code changes, it breaks the spec and in turn the tests

Whereas documentation can (inevitably) go stale with no feedback or build failures

Grok did OK? (Grok 2 Mini Beta)

What kind of vegetable is the first 'l' made out of? It's like tiny chicken nuggets.

Expired cauliflower.

Looks a bit like cloudberries but not really. More like fried chicken

Grok just uses Flux, fyi

Not bad! I just tried with 4o and ChatGPT is still failing hard.

Have I just inadvertently invented a new benchmark!?

No. Had you asked for it to spell "strawberry", though...

> Not bad!

Well, it's not a great example of spelling "HELLO"...

Hey we would have been happy with a case insensitive but otherwise correct answer ...
