i don't have phone problems, but I do think there is a non-arbitrary worthiness scale to things I do for fun. In the long term, I think I benefit more and feel better about myself for spending time learning something or creating someth

It doesn't matter to me what bullshit semantics theoretical excuse there is, for practical purposes it means that UTF-8 is insufficient for displaying any human language, especially if you want chinese and japanese in the same document

it was an example of them pushing proprietary extensions and eventually removing them again. If I start beating you and then eventually someone calms down and I stop, it's not an example of me not beating you

if you want a really old example, pnacl. If you want a slightly recent one, FLoC. Not saying those are the best examples, they are just what comes to my head first. I don't really keep up super closely.

I'm actually far more concerned with the other thing I mentioned, just like on old versions of windows, safari updates are coupled to iOS updates. So if your phone doesn't get any more updates, or you just don't want them, yo

not on iOS which is more relevant since you can't even install other engines

Just to (mostly) preempt this because the exact same discussion is had every time this sentiment comes up: Isn't safari the new IE? Answer: They both are like IE, for different reasons: Chrome: Pushes proprietary extensions onto the we

and on iOS they should still use the old logo for one additional year

those are numitrons, they use tungsten filament, whereas nixie tubes work by neon glow discharge

yes, IN-16 contain mercury. You want nixie tubes with mercury, especially for a clock, since it significantly prolongs their lifespan
166.
by asddubs 2y ago
They are highly specialized items under a small production run, not too surprising

container queries have a very obvious chicken and egg problem if used a certain way: If this container is less than 30px wide, make its content 60px wide. Otherwise make it 20px wide. Now that container exists in a quantum state of being bo

Again, not true. There's many services like the internet archive that do not operate to make a profit. Lots of open source also fits this bill. The absolutism of the quote is just overly cynical. On the other hand, if the company is VC

I don't really like that quote. Many services you do pay for still treat you like an asset to make money off. And many services that are free, like the internet archive for example, are not.

That post seems to be about forking open source plugins which cost money. From what I can tell they did fork this plugin but are not offering its premium features for free. Just to preempt people arguing with me, please note that this comme
