The iPhone Messages app on iOS 26 gets a bunch of new filtering features, primarily targeted around dealing with spam and junk texts. But it also gets some filters that are generally useful too. For the first time, iMessage has a dedicated Drafts folder. This filters the conversation list to show only threads where you have a partly-written message. These new capabilities are exposed through a new filter button found at the top-right of the screen. This menu includes common sections like Messa

A gentle introduction to anchor positioning

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-18 22:18:55

Anchor positioning allows you to place an element on the page based on where another element is. It makes it easier to create responsive menus and tooltips with less code using only CSS. Here’s how it works. Let’s say you have an avatar in your nav, like this: When you click the avatar, you want a menu to appear right below it. The clicking interaction can be handled with just CSS using the Popover API. But once you click, where does your menu show up? Figuring this out typically requires som

Add the Tesla Diner to the List of Elon Musk Projects That Fail to Deliver on Promises

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-11-25 03:55:31

You are not going to believe this, because there is absolutely zero precedent for it happening; it appears Elon Musk has overpromised on something. It has only been two weeks since the Tesla Diner, a charging station and restaurant with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, and it is already significantly narrowing down its menu offerings, according to a report from Eater. In classic diner fashion, the restaurant offered a robust menu when it first opened, but it is down to just five sandwiches, two si

The Tesla Diner Is Already Falling Apart Under Mismanagement

Tesla, a company known for making electric vehicles that regularly malfunction and fall apart, is apparently faring no better at operating a working restaurant. Between its amply peeved neighbors, a woman being brained by a patio covering on its opening week, and protests against owner Elon Musk's other activities, the Tesla diner was already drawing all the wrong kind of attention — and then, it seemingly halved its menu out of nowhere. As Eater reports, Musk's foray into food service now has

Very nice I'm a minimalist by nature and typically keep both my menu bar and Dock hidden. That said, I still like having the clock visible at all times. I've tried various widgets in the past to solve this, but none really did the trick—until now. This app nails it. I can still see the clock and date exactly where I want them, and when I move the cursor to the menu bar, the app tucks neatly underneath, just as it should. The customization options are also thoughtfully designed. Bravo!
