What capabilities do you need that current web browsers don't satisfy? I hear this argument quite a bit with Safari bashing. While Apple does seem to favor the "native" approach, I also use Mobile Safari exclusively for my ow

half joking: https://www.windowmaker.org the laptop battery life issue is a real thing -- I kicked the can by getting an M1 MacBook Pro instead of a Framework for my most recent upgrade.

At a previous job they were moving away from Blazor (which bummed me out, I love the philosophy) because every time they deployed it broke sessions/disconnected all active users.

The tech contributions are fungible, to be honest. Sure, they're popular because ~Facebook~ Meta is a giant company, but if they disappeared overnight, other equally good solutions would soon take their place.

This is my anecdotal experience too. There's a (non-sequential) human thread that connects all my work experience. Ironically the exception was my very first development job, which was a blind application.

> Parts can be loaded via separate calls Just makes me think of my bank's site, which shows a few seconds of "loading" animations on each section of the page. Maybe if the main content loaded quickly and ancillary content

Yeah, the last supported OS upgrade for iPhones really makes them dog slow. (no idea if this is actually the last for the 12 series)

Why would they share it? To counteract employees complaining endlessly about it, presumably.

If you went to McDonalds and had to drink Coke just to walk in the door.

Yeah and it tanked pretty hard, IIRC

It took me ~2 years after graduation to find a development job, which was from a "can you code HTML by hand?" classified on craigslist.

Haha I used to explain the complexity of a previous employer's tech stack that way: they had all these devs and they needed to do _something_!

Yeah, I really loved the clarity of the 2x2 product matrix Apple had immediately after Jobs' return: 2 desktops, 2 laptops, one "consumer" and one "pro." Of course there were configuration variations within those br

300 feet is a fairly significant distance. I would personally "jaywalk" rather than go 600 feet (there and back) out of my way.

There's a major intersection about a mile from where I live, which unfortunately is next to public schools/local library/etc. The other day I was in my car waiting for the light when I saw a young girl on a scooter push into

Always loved Blizzard games back in the day because I could play with my Mac-owning friends.

Heck, Google mostly shows "AI Summaries" and ads -- you'd be lucky to get traffic from 'em now!

I think I pay around $100/year for my dirt cheap self-hosted stuff. So I mean you _can_ do it yourself, but $20 is pretty reasonable.

Back in the day you could sometimes get hosting from your ISP. You might see URLs like `www.isp.com/~username` as examples of this.

Came here to recommend this. A viable option, at least until Republicans completely defund public libraries.

I'd prefer not to download 2MB of JavaScript and feel my phone get uncomfortably hot just to fill out your online form.

SSR doesn't mean "no JavaScript." See "progressive enhancement."

ironic that the benefit of using web tech (platform abstractions) can be totally negated by such a small footgun, which then requires insane knowledge of the browser rendering pipeline to solve

Why? Seems like a good idea, relying on the LLM to write for you won’t develop your skills, but using it as an editor is a good middle ground. Also there’s no shame in saying an LLM is “better” than you at a task.
