The thing that really got me to start thinking twice about jQuery, much more than the youmightnotneed... website, was this performance test for selectors — https://jsperf.com/getelementbyid-vs-queryselector/25

My time in the Peace Corps had a profound influence on my social skills/life. While I would not have said I was necessarily lonely, I was certainly rather anti-social and had a lot of trouble expressing myself to people. Aside from the

Just a small aside re: kids being underfoot -- our little 1.5yo loves to spend time with us in the kitchen and always wants to be in on the action on the counter. This was problematic until we built him a little tower[0] to climb up and see

I haven't run in to any problems, but I also haven't been using the phone exclusively so my experience is very limited. It would be interesting to know exactly which apps are affected by that though...

That's fair. That is most of what is on my regular phone, but I also think sometimes about how very little I use those things. My primary apps are Firefox, Mail, SeaFile, KeePass, HERE We Go, and Telegram. Those account for surely 95%

I recently looked at this while reviving a trusty old Samsung S4, but ultimately just went with Enhanced LOS and no gapps. F-Droid has pretty much everything I really need. It’s kind of amazing how well supported this stuff is by the commun

This is a Show HN. I’m sure the poster would greatly appreciate feedback from someone with experience like yours, not an advertisement for your own service.

Looks like this has improved a lot since I used it a few years ago. That documentation even seems a bit outdated -- the new monorepo is here: https://github.com/mozilla/fxa . I eventually abandoned it when I was cutting

Not OSM, but I have been using HERE[0] with success for a while (if only to diversify off of Google products). Curious to know if anyone has done more research/has an opinion on their platform. [0] https://wego.here.com&#x2F

Unfortunately I don’t have any deep insight on big PBS’s plans in that respect. I do know some major changes are coming to their OTT apps, but PBS has been tight lipped about it. KIDS is funny, they are basically a (well staffed) separate e

Yeah, in this case they spare no expense with the upgrades. It's really cool to see and learn about but probably not realistic for anyone not ready to invest a lot of money. As much I love TOH, I do wish they would take on more &quot

I 100% agree that it is somewhat unfair, but I don't think it is entirely so. I had this on mind, for example, because a few weeks ago a co-worker had to leave work early one day because she had a terrible migraine that wouldn't g

This is almost entirely unrelated to the topic, but it's interesting to read these musing on addiction from a person who benefits (for now, at least) from a coffee business. As I read this I actually wondered at a few points if it was

It really is a question of your willingness to accept a lower wage for work you want to do. I am 34 and have been doing web development professionally since I was 19. I have always and still do love it. I suspect that is at least partially

Tangentially, I wonder if anyone here knows of communities that have cropped up around car hacking. If my next car will basically be a big computer on wheels, I'll be just as interested in the hackability of it as any other electronics
