I’m an avid bash user for the same fear of incompatibility. But how does that work in practice? I mean- if I use Fish shell interactiveley, how does that affect shell scripts? I presume they would still be run via bash (#!/bin/bas

The TOR browser (based on FF) has this implemented for some time now. It resizes the window by a large (I think 50px) grid instead of single pixels. That way the window sizes are adjustable by the user, but still less unique than pixel adju

His goal on keeping RAM low is probably for growing to thousands and millions of customers. And he’s right- right now it would look like RAM is cheap, but when you start having much users, it adds up. There is a line between premature optim

Yup, I change iPhones every 4 years as a luxury - could easilly go every 5 years. It’s an Android (lack of) updates problem.

Yes, it would work if you implement the schema correctly: among the standard value types there are also counter types. See for example https://automerge.org/docs/types/counters/

The argument on performance comes from the idea that theoretically the rules are applied in order. So the browser has built in stylesheet of 8px, and after that a margin of 0 is calculated. (And after that, some more specific margin in the

I like the idea, but I think it will not change the world. Filesystems have already been reduced to storage mechanisms for systems not people. People just don’t organize files anymore. And that’s a good thing. Most employees in relativley f

I’ve been researching this: original idea is that the 5G signals are “de-sensing” the Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) on airplanes that receive the radar signals from the airport. The 5G C-band is 3.7-3.98GHz; The global aeronautical band

Thanks for sharing! I too miss small projects just for the fun of it. The FOV/FOV+Z technique is one I remember learning from early 90s computer magazines. They would have code snippets for QBASIC with various neat programs. We’d then

Google calls the shots on what the web does and does not do via the majority browser - Chrome. I wouldn't consider AMP any more dangerous than Chrome in this argument. There were other problems with AMP.

There is another comment in this thread about how “Microsoft has put lipstick on a pig and hasn’t made what the users actally need”. Quite opposite - we can be sure that Microsoft have focused on what features to develop for Win11 based on

If you add the website to homescreen (make it an “app”) then the 7 day storage limit does not apply. This makes total sense to me, and I’m happy Facebook can’t store tracking data in my Safari for longer than 7 days.

If the average user doesn't even understand what updates are, he's better off in the Play Store anyway. Why force F-Droid on him?

I must confess I did something similar a long time ago, when hard drive space was expensive. I converted all my 4MP photos to 1024x768 - that was the biggest screen resolution imaginable at the time on the "huge" 17" monitors

True, millimeter wave bands, introduced in 5G, don't go as far as 4G. But those bands are in the 5G standard additionally to the lower bands similar to 4G, and are beneficial in places like busy airports, train stations and urban are

They use php-fpm pools where each website gets it's own uid:gid and the php process runs as that user. Then standard linux file permissions so you can only access your own uid files. To access web assets from nginx/apache, they ad

Great article. While CSS grid is very powerful, maybe I'm not seeing the full picture in the examples: aren't the examples possible with just p { margin: 0 auto; max-width: 65ch } ? What does grid bring here?

I noticed the same thing last week on AWS - no requirement for 2FA when disabling 2FA on root account. Seemed strange, but I guess they figure requiring 2FA once more doesn’t add enough security..

Given the news this has made, I sure hope browser vendors don't overreact with blocking this too hard: I genuinely have a use-case for this. We have an internal company wide business app, that works in any browser. The usual create-rea
