Totally different caching techniques. MPAs have a built in mechanism called back/forward cache. It works automatically on most sites, though some invalidate the cache. https://web.dev/articles/bfcache SPAs need

It's not uncommon on HN! We frequently have people chiming in as CEOs, insiders, and experts in various fields without much proof. Generally, it hasn't been a problem. Or at least I've not seen any examples of having wool

I tried Windsurf for the first time last week, and I had pretty mixed results. On the positive side, sometimes the tool would figure out exactly what I was doing, and it truly helped me. This was especially the case when when performing a

I've recently been learning about how fonts render based on subpixel layouts in monitor panels. Windows assumes that all panels use RGB layout, and their ClearType software will render fonts with that assumption in mind. Unfortunatel

It seems like the spec draft itself offers a much better example than the article. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-mixins-1/ I do think it's strange that using a wrapper like var() wasn't required here. Like fu

I used this same approach in a recent web app and it worked great. You can also use scrollbar-gutter: stable, which disables scrolling but maintains the preserved space to avoid content reflows.

Yep, as a user I didn't find it confusing at all. F-Droid is designed for and around adding custom repos. FUTO links to their own repo and it all works fine. I'd definitely consider this as being "available on F-Droid"

Complexity has to live somewhere. We use abstraction to better manage it, and keep our codebases scalable and manageable. Yes it's not as efficient as it would be if every single function call were carefully planned for and orchestra

I would say that it is structured complexity. Modifying a reactive variable is more complex than editing the DOM directly, true, but it minimizes the number of sources of truth. The developer no longer has to worry about keeping the on-pa

pnacl was an example of Google throwing away their homebrewed solution in favour of a common standard (Web Assembly). That seems like a strong argument that they don't push proprietary extensions.

Huh, look at that. I completely mixed them up too. Thankfully they have an article which "helpfully" clarifies things: > We’ve noticed that there’s been some confusion between our company, Codium (now Qodo (formerly Codium)),

It seems like their new name is literally "Qodo (formerly Codium)", parenthetical included. At first I thought they were just including it in the blog post for clarity, but they literally write it out that way a dozen times. It&

I remember Notch talking about the lighting calculations being one of the hardest parts to program, so I can understand that being a challenge. Mojang made large improvements to the lighting engine in 1.20, bringing it in line with the perf

The performance differences look pretty impressive from the benchmarks. I do notice that world generation and saving features are missing though, and these tend to be pretty expensive operations. Chunk gen especially can bring a weaker VP

Tools like Stable Diffusion didn't even exist when Palworld and its creature designs were being shown. Unless you have evidence they were somehow AI generated, it sounds like you're just spreading falsehoods.

Do you mean in Chrome? You can disable it from the settings. There should have been a prompt to review the features' settings when it was first introduced.

Didn't they do that like... six months ago? Thus why they partnered with the Internet Archive recently.

There's clearly advantages to writing a web app as an SPA, otherwise web devs wouldn't do it. The idea that web devs "don't care" (about what exactly?) really doesn't make any sense. Moving interactions to JSO

Did you click through to the video? Because the acceptance speech seemed to show the opposite of hubris to me. Specifically in owning up to the mistake, and using the award as a reminder to do better in the future.
