United States Mint to Release Commemorative $1 Steve Jobs Coin

usmint.gov/news/press-releases/united-states-mint-releases-2026-american-innovation-one-dollar-coin-program-designs

I’m not really into commemorative coins, and I have to say I suspect Steve Jobs wasn’t either, but it’s a nice little recognition. No mention of it from the Mint, but the $1 value of the coin is the same as the salary Jobs drew from Apple.

Should form labels be wrapped or separate?

Should form labels be wrapped or separate?

James Edwards notes that wrapping a form input in a label event like this has a significant downside:
<label>Name <input type="text"></label>

It turns out both Dragon Naturally Speaking for Windows and Voice Control for macOS and iOS fail to understand this relationship!

You need to use the explicit <label for="element_id"> syntax to ensure those screen readers correctly understand the relationship between label and form field. You can still nest the input inside the label if you like:

<label for="idField">Name
  <input id="idField" type="text">
</label>

Planetary Rings

If you don't know where you are on Earth, the angle of satellite dishes can help constrain your latitude. If some of them are pointing straight up, you're probably near the Equator, right under the ring.

Quoting Barry Zhang

Skills actually came out of a prototype I built demonstrating that Claude Code is a general-purpose agent :-)

It was a natural conclusion once we realized that bash + filesystem were all we needed
