This is really really important now that server side tracking is rolled out at the major Ad providers. Keeping up a block list of the custom domains every site uses to mask their tracking will lead to an unsustainable cat and mouse game.

We have one and have had one for years. It uses the OS's default design, which is familiar to users. Instead, we have had decades of people hacking together whatever is the trend of the day into a custom designed select-box, often prov

I've been doing front-end since the days of IE5 and I'd be rich if I had a penny for every time I've had to do a custom "select". It's a pain to use third-party libraries for this, but it _is_ a solved problem

We have had the same problem at my client now for the last couple of months, but from Facebook (using their IP ranges). They don’t even respect the 429 headers and the business is hesitant to outright ban them in case it impacts open graph

Helsinki, at least is an interesting place. Much like any other capital if you go to certain neighbourhoods you can see drug dealers, drug users (many which are living in shelters) - even in downtown. They kind of blend in, are part of the

No, but when you choose NextJS you're choosing a product and should evaluate the reasons for doing it. It's abstracting away a substantial amount of pain points in deploying and optimising react apps. The OP even talks about some

I hate to be blunt here but if you are complaining about 3min builds and 10s start-up times for a dev environment, you are looking at the wrong areas of optimisation.

I've used Darktable for quite a few years now, casually, because seriously I'm not paying 100+ euros a year as a casual to edit my photographs in lightroom. Darktable's flaw has _always_ been its UX as well as performance (at

Survival of the fittest? I really don't have a problem with this. Artistry is hard - not everyone can make it. 1000 plays is a failure - financially. It probably costs Spotify more to payout the transaction for such a low amount of pla

I think people have a short memory. It was not that long ago that you’d have to pay 10+e for an album, where most of that would go to the record labels. Now I can pay 10e a month and listen to almost every song ever made, and I’m not going
