So don't use them in a context where they require close scrutiny?

I agree - but everyone seems to believe that their web site is actually an application.

I viscerally dislike manually arranging windows. Have you investigated auto tiling? Also how well does this work on smaller screens? My preferred ergonomic posture is slumped on the sofa with a laptop on my belly.

It's a non-zero switching cost for me. Every site that doesn't work in Firefox is a pain to use and I mostly don't bother.

I made a joke: > Prior to his seminal work Turing published a lesser known 1935 paper: "On Caffeine with an Application to the Anfangsverzögerungsproblem" I think it might be a little too niche.

I think the reason you're getting so many comments on this aspect of it is because a lot of people on HN have been through several rounds of the browser wars and many care deeply about keeping the web vendor neutral (especially in term

Or misconceptions about what it even is. I didn't realise it was a javascript library.

Yes - I don't understand the "Chrome" part at all. I presumed it was a Chrome extension but it doesn't seem to be.

If I wasn't in bed on my phone I would disagree at length and in great detail with this. Have you met any 7 year olds? Have you taught any beginners to do computer stuff?

The main effect of slow rollouts on me is that I never use the feature. It goes like this. 1. There's a service I use sporadically or used to use 2. They announce a new feature that might potentially mean I'll start using it again

Not only is there code but they've actually pinned version numbers in their requirements.txt! Truly an outlier ;)

I'm more interested in this for other form factors that use ARM - headsets in particular.

What part? It's confusingly explained but this sounds like how nearly every other language behaves.

> Importing the requirements.txt into the pyproject.toml is not a good idea as uv gets itself in a twist with all the low-level dependencies that exist in the requirements.txt. Can you explain? I wonder if you mean "requirements.tx

> These are security considerations for all server rendered pages Well - "server rendered" to my ears primarily means plain html generated on the server using Perl, Python, PHP, CGI or whatever. I presume you mean "server

Fewer accounts - yes. "Carrying on" - well, maybe. But the way you've phrased it implies a bit more and you should probably clarify.

Which is both true and also missing the point.

It's possible to be a reasonable, thoughtful person and disagree with aspects of what you just wrote. Personally I dislike being morally steamrollered on complex, nuanced topics.

Poor defaults, preferences and the prevalence of bad taste. There's examples that don't do this but they are harder to find (and prompt for)

That's a false dichotomy. There's a huge range of applications that fall between "just a demo" and "must be reliably correct". They are just harder to productize for a broad market.

It's even stranger than that. I can go from full awareness of the nature and limitations of LLMs one minute, the treating it like an almost sentient oracle the next. It's constant struggle to remain aware of what it really is und

I think OP is questioning whether these are optimizations or whether they are just redundant. I don't know the answer - I don't use React personally.

Your point would have been more persuasive if you'd eased off on the caps lock.

I'm from the UK and I'm curious what you would expect chilli powder to be? Over here it's always just chillis.

"Computer" used to mean the job done by a human being. We chose to use the meaning to refer to machines that did similar tasks. Nobody quibbles about it any more. Words can mean more than one thing. And sometimes the new meaning i

I don't think they were denying thermodynamics. Merely denying that it trumps economics.
