Social networks put engagement before everything else and alienate their products. I moved away from Facebook to Instagram when it stopped being about my friends, and did the same when Instagram tried too hard to be TikTok. And I like these

Similar experience here. I thought with about 10 years of experience working on the web, and 5 of those working on large React projects, I could finally be more picky with my next role. I was wrong, I'm struggling more now than as a ju

Counterpoint to your counterpoint, most projects have 3 to 5 different font sizes and using rem units is a negligible effort. As long as some people or accessibility tools change the base font-size then it's worth using them.

Thank you for the read. The idea of an OS supplanted by an AI is fascinating. > "everything must be controlled by me, not by you" Right, the end goal I had in mind for "the everything app" is the control of the softwa

What does the path to success look like for "the everything app"? I can't picture it. So far it looks like they're acting like a FAANG in a "fake it til you make it" move to try to attract money. But not only d

This resonates with me more and more as I age. I like seeing items that have been worn out over time. It's a testament of their sturdiness, their story. A shot in the dark, but a few years back I saw a Twitter thread of someone who wan

Related: Does anyone know why Hacker News is so... rudimentary? It doesn't have pagination and lacks accessibility features. I understand why it's kept simple but for a tech related forum it's suprisingly clunky.

> increase the number of quinoa packets to two. That seems so convoluted, what about "Add two quinoa packs". I have to disagree with the calendar example as well. Natural language is already great at many use cases. For example

Front end developer here. Been looking for a new role since February, and I have to say it's more difficult than I expected. Compared to 2019, last time I switched jobs, I'm getting fewer interviews and fewer proposals from recrui

Sometimes rules are poorly written, outdated or straight up mistaken. I doubt the original intent of the rule was to disallow GitHub as a collaboration tool since it's the largest coding collaboration tool out there. It's even its

Rules are inherently subject to interpretation. I actually learned the opposite of what you're preaching in school. I struggled to shorten a report to meet requirements. A friend of mine was 10 pages over the limit and went on to win a

It's funny to see. The same thing that's happening with iMessage happened with Blackberry messenger over a decade ago. The major difference is that we now have huge data plans and a handful of great messaging apps to choose from.

I think so too. It makes me wonder why they don't update all their apps to look like W7 or Windows 10 instead of changing their design language with every release. I'm sure there are some technical reasons there, but I suspect it&

Anecdotes don't add much to the discussion, I could truthfully write the exact opposite, I have no medical expertise whatsoever though: I would say the vaccine injection wasn't behind the blood clots. I choose to have it. Guess wh

I had the same with my previous MBP, I had the machine for ten years and had to purchase two new power bricks along the way. Thankfully the new cables are nicely braided and replaceable without buying an entire new brick.

Thanks for the heads-up, this is pretty bad indeed. There's truly no escaping the fight between convenience and privacy. Sigh

There's the hypocrisy other posts are mentioning, as well as a general Musk fatigue. But on top of all that, there's the feeling he ruined a place a lot of people liked. It's like if your favourite local restaurant got replac

Unfortunately I have a similar experience with FF on Android. A more jittery experience and a bigger batter drain than Chrome, even without any extensions installed. I'll plug my main mobile browser which is now Samsung's internet

I realize "incel" is a loaded word but I didn't mean to trash the author. Simply, I feel like he's coming at the issue from the perspective that men-women relationships are transactional. I think that's wrong, and t

This article and the comments remind me of what I used to think as a sheltered teenager before I actually got to hang out with women and realized they're just other humans. I'd venture to say that what women are looking for is def

Behind the scientific lingo, I'm getting incel vibes from this. Trying to summarize the behavior of half the world population is pointless. Different women look for different things in their partners. For any woman who likes a dark hai

About 40 on desktop, spread around 4 windows. Less than 30 on mobile. Samsung's browsers lets me customize its interface. I added the "close tab" button there. It has kept my tab count in check.

This isn't weight loss advice but I've been eating unhealthy for most of my 20s. I felt alright for the most part with some very occasional stomach ache or acid reflux if I didn't sleep enough. In the past couple of years I p

Similar experience here. I can watch it for 5 minutes and then it starts showing me slight variations of the same stuff. Plus a lot of plain bad content in the mix. The only thing I enjoy about it is that I can see clips from longer format

Genuine question: what would you recommend using? Both companies I worked for in the early 2010's ended up recreating their own (subpar) implementations of what React does. While I do agree the bar to get started on the web is too high

Good point, it's definitely not universal. Maybe it's more fair to think of it in terms of priority. I don't expect a smaller team to test on many versions, but the bigger the team and the more users they have, the more dilig

I don't think it's worth testing on old versions of Chrome and Firefox since they're updated automatically. iOS Safari on the other hand, can't be updated on older phones since it's tied to iOS updates. This makes a

I don't have the ability to downvote, but you're making a bold claim with no arguments yourself. It's strangely worded as well. I'd assume this is why you're getting downvoted. Calling people silly because you'
