What if mobile platforms (iOS, Android... ) changed the security/privacy policy so that apps had to request the “network access” permission, either whitelisting domains they want to talk to, or askingfor wildcard access? Most apps shou

Started again and finished the game this time, great experience! Wish it was way longer now haha, although it's already been quite a bit of procrastinating :)

This was really fun! Thanks for making it :) Got to a point where I overloaded a host and my system melted taking me back to the start, is that the end or should I try again to get past that?

Cookies are a lot safer for authentication than localStorage. The only problem with this change is persisting data for offline use, not authenticating the user.

An app called Pock replaces the touch bar with a custom one that I find a lot more useful - might work for you too

This. Passing a variable named $config, or options, settings... etc, to a function with no type definition is the recipe for unmaintainability.

Exactly this. Show me facts, what percentage of battery life will it save my _specific_ laptop compared to FF, how much faster will _my_ experience be. Is there anything that the dev tools will allow me to do that I can't with FF Devel

I did some freelance work for their University's Engineering Faculty in ~2014 and it was pretty cool, reading up on them here now I can see how their coop nature influenced their research, as a lot of it was about making sure that work

Mine's at https://aurbano.eu Started it years ago as a WordPress site, then Jekyll and now a Hugo generated blog. I really want to start spending more time putting things in there, for me if anything, as a living repository

I get the point, but I’d be afraid that non-technical users would be confused to the point of not even trying... You could obviously add some info message below or above, but people tend to be terrible at reading. Maybe if the 2FA input fie

I used to be a casual PC gamer, with a fairly good spec build. Then one day I played some VR games at a friend’s house on PSVR, which blew my mind - not only how much fun I had, but how much fun our non gamer friends had! After that my wife

Serious question - is there any reason why naming things with consecutive simple numbers isn't the best approach? WiFi 1, WiFi 2 ... MacBook Air 1, MacBook Air 2 ... MacOS 10, MacOS 11 I know some of these are already named this way, t

I think that in order to have a good discussion it would help if you could explain why public transport is slower in your case. Is the route longer because there isn't a line that goes straight from your home to your workplace? Is it b

Except Sonos doesn't actually want the old device back, they say that you should take it to a recycling center so they can take it apart or whatever they do with them [1] [1] https://twitter.com/secresDoge/status&#

Merry Christmas! HN is the place where I first discovered tons of people who seemed so similar to me..! I only wish to one day work surrounded by some of you :)

Not trying to just nitpick, but if we assume that the Google Maps use research and data from users when planning features then the feature you're after may actually not be very common. And your answer to someone asking "Why do you

Thanks! And good idea, I just updated it breaking that down a bit more :)

This was such a nice read! I've only ever written Java & JavaScript really, and Haskell is always at the top of the list of things I want to learn! When I got to the 7 line snippet at the end I was blown away by the elegance, and t

Agree! Awesome idea for a site, but should definitely tone down the animations + disable after the first time.

This is really awesome! How difficult would it be to extend it to generate other languages (e.g. Java, Kotlin, Node/typescript... )? If the effort isn't massive I would be up for helping out with that, as that would enable me to u

You've managed to put my feelings in words really accurately. I don't know if this is the best way to be, but it works remarkably well!

eBook formats can do that, but they may struggle with math notation - I haven't read any mathematical work on ebooks.

I've been using react-table [1] for a while and it works really well, supporting most of the UX patterns described here. For any use cases not supported it is often easy enough to extend, and the library is MIT licensed so you could al

You'd need to have a way to change your outgoing IP address. VPN providers probably deal with this all the time, so try reaching out to them asking for guidance.

The problem is that we went backwards in many ways... REST made it easier to define the API and to understand, but pretty much impossible to autogenerate a client for example. With a well made SOAP API you can autogenerate client code for i

So what is the alternative? I've used RPC, SOAP with autogenerated Java methods via CXF, and tons of REST APIs that are just "random" JSON objects. I agree with the author that REST is not as great as people seem to imply. Ye

That’s extremely well written! I’ve been struggling to document an open source platform I’ve built with some friends and colleagues [1] and this is finally giving me hope! [1] https://play.socialgorithm.org
