I had a mini panic attack when I refreshed a waiting PR and was suddenly logged out. I take all the suggested precautions with my GitHub account, so while my mind did wander to the worst case, I figured it was just a weird cookie interactio

I love this idea! One of the main use cases I would like to see would be sharing a direct link to a collection. It would be nice to be able to build a collection and link directly to just that collection. Additionally, having the ability to

It's my understanding that RemoteFX is only available in Windows Server and Windows 10 Pro for Workstations.

I was a little disappointed to see that there wasn't a discussion of how Netflix provides (or doesn't!) a high-fidelity visual experience. I imagine certain artists require fluid-motion and previews without visual artifacting, so

Check out Flutter Folio [1], built in partnership with Google. Right-click is actually disabled, so you can't even open the "Create account" link in a new tab, nor can I right click an input to autofill with my password manag

As long as the old Google Pay app still does NFC payments, I'll keep using it. I was also pretty salty that the new Google Pay app was marked as "early release" so you couldn't leave a review on the Google Play Store. Th

I hope it's CanvasKit because if those interactions are also broken in the HTML renderer that's even worse!

Flutter for Web feels like such a wild step backwards in terms of functionality that I'm not sure the benefits it brings are worth it. I just tried a few samples, and basic interactions like selecting text, saving images, and opening l

This is what the right-click menu looks like in Firefox on macOS [1]. Compared to the right-click menu from Safari on the same machine [2], you can see several differences. The most notable one is that the Firefox menu is not theme-aware, r

If you open your browser's network panel, you can see the secret sauce here: GitHub's API. Each time you open a file, the UI makes a request to GitHub's API for the content. That's why it's dramatically faster than

The #1 reason I end up cloning a repo and opening it in VS Code is to perform search, so it's a bummer search doesn't work. I'd even give up on the "1s" bit if I could open a full-text searchable version of the repo

As an owner of the Z27, I can confidently say that for most people, a 27in 1440p monitor is a better choice over a 4K monitor in the same size. You'd likely need to increase the render scale on a 4K monitor at that size, resulting in a

There currently is no public date for the deprecation of Manifest v2 extensions, so I think you'll be fine with uBlock Origin for a while to come.

Firefox's engineers have done a remarkable job at trying to mimic the native context menu as much as possible, but it's not a 100% match (as evidenced by your discovery that it doesn't support dark mode). There have also been

Buying a device is currently the only legal option considering that Microsoft is only licensing Windows on ARM to OEMs. That being said you can find older Snapdragon 835 laptops on eBay and such for pretty cheap. I was able to buy one for $

I'm going to disagree with ARM here: it's not quite yet time to get excited about Windows on ARM. The app support just isn't there yet, and the emulation is not nearly as good as the emulation on macOS. I've been trackin

I'm really curious in getting my hands on the Nokia N9, just to explore the UI and UX of Meego. Unfortunately the devices on eBay are going for prices outside of my budget since I suspect my exploration will last all of half an hour. I

To be honest I just wanted to see a more descriptive title specifically to avoid the tired, unproductive discussion of "what is open source".

by dstaley 6y ago
Could we change the title to more clearly reflect that this is a license change from a permissive to a restrictive licence? Maybe "Mapbox GL JS v2 no longer uses a permissive license"? I initially thought by the title that Mapbox

I truly hope that Matrix+Gitter becomes the defacto standard when it comes to chat for open source communities. I think Discord is a bit ahead in terms of UX and features, but Matrix is catching up fast. I noticed that Element recently adde
