1Password in Firefox unlocking the desktop app caught my eye. I'm on Mac and have to unlock 1Password in Firefox completely separately from the desktop Mac app.

Exactly this. Apple has spent decades drilling a message into third-party developers: Update your apps regularly or get left behind. Everyone who develops for one of their platforms is just used to running that treadmill. An ARM transition

This is cool. I just shipped an app using Svelte [1] and I liked working with the framework. I would be interested to work with it more. My app replaces Safari's new tab page with a wallpaper and weather widget. Obviously performance i

We’re talking about Firefox language settings. Politely fuck off and advocate for a racially pure ethnostate somewhere else.

Woof. Getting thrown to private equity vultures is an ignominious fate for two foundational Internet companies. But they do few useful things any more, so now they’ll be picked clean.

Completely agree! Something I realized lately is if you don’t ha e soft skills, it literally makes you worse at coding. I always knew you needed them to be a good employee, but it wasn’t until I worked with a “senior” without an ounce of so

Yes and yes. It's essential to my daily browsing, to the point it sucks to wipe my own data while developing. Text-based sites like (most news orgs, blogs) work just fine. Blocking JS even disables the paywall for some. The sites that

Hello, HN! I got tired of seeing so many ads, paywalls and newsletter popups in Safari, so I built a simple JavaScript blocker. Add any site to JavaSnipt and it can't load external JS files. Best of all, you can set blocking on a per-d

I really, really wish Apple would update Safari for uBlock Origin. I’m about to publish a Safari extension (a NoScript equivalent) and the content blocking APIs are so limited. iOS is even worse than the Mac, too. On iOS AFAIK you can’t eve

Absolutely. If a developer can only cash in on a big-number new version, that incentivizes holding back features to sell the new version. It just does. I understand the frustration with subscription pricing, but it's a business model t

As someone with no nostalgia for the PSX/N64, it's hard not to look back on that as an entire generation of ugly graphics. SNES pixel art has aged beautifully, Cloud's polygons have not. That's not even counting the many

I’m at the point now where I won’t code without an IDE. Automatic imports, code completion, running a linter on save, nice git diff displays, finding all usages of a function - this stuff makes my life so much easier.

My wife is vegan and let me try her Impossible Burger at a local chain. I am not vegan so she wanted to know how accurate the taste was. It tasted exactly like a frozen burger you'd cook on your backyard grill.

My mom had a touch-capable phone with a resistive touchscreen and hated it. Her fingernails were not huge or anything but they were long enough she had to press with the pad of her finger, not the tip, and it crippled her accuracy.

Yeah, it shows a lack of self-awareness to complain about employees' entitlement and then wish they'd work more, without any talk of extra compensation. Seems a bit entitled to expect other human beings to sacrifice their weeken
