I'm not an American, I've only ever been to NYC once in 2014, and I was only 8 when 9/11 happened, but somehow, seeing that skyline with those two towers still in it, evokes the feeling of simpler, friendlier times. Even thou

For me personally, IPv6 still feels like something that only exists in datacenters. I've had it for ages on my servers, but never in my life have I seen a home internet connection that supports it. I'm always surprised to see that

> First, ad blockers running in the browser are simply more effective. On my phone I do both: I use AdGuard DNS to block ads system-wide, and Vivaldi's built-in ad blocker to block those ads that still slip through.

There's no such thing as "healthy aging". Aging is deterioration. It's unhealthy by its very nature.

It's been getting better lately. That's the thing with these kinds of projects that aim to run vast libraries of preexisting software — they're crap for a long, long time, until suddenly there's enough compatibility that

Of course. Also TV ads would usually be shown during programs that the advertiser's target audience is most likely to be watching. Like ads for toys between cartoons. That's all fine, you can do the same on the internet without ha

The entire previous history of humanity we only had non-targeted ads in newspapers, on billboards, and on TV and radio, and everyone was ok with that. But suddenly, on the internet, it's somehow "not possible" to have adverti

These paid offerings should include not only an ad-free experience, but also getting rid of all the dark patterns and other manipulative crap Meta loves doing in their apps and services. You know, preferences that actually stick forever,

Sometimes you just can't achieve something with public APIs. Especially on Apple OSes, they love making genuinely useful APIs private for no good reason while heavily using them in their own apps. Of course, if you use a private API,

If anyone is curious what happens if you open that website from a Russian IP: > Russian IPs are blocked here, due to your unjust and unprovoked War against Ukraine. You are responsible for the rape, kidnap and massacre of innocent civili

My immediate thought was that the battery packs would be a convenient source of replacement batteries for these iPhones, because otherwise genuine Apple parts are notoriously hard to obtain.

IIRC initially this was proposed so the runtime (i.e. the browser) could expose its APIs directly to wasm code, without the need for JS wrappers.

I generally agree with you, but if you only care about technical perfection, it can happen that something is "technically perfect", but insufferable to use. For example, I'm sure many of the common command-line utilities are

I once worked on a VK mini app with one guy. He was building the app itself, I did the backend. He just recently started learning web development, having never done any programming before. So I'm ready for him to test my backend, I tel

As someone still building websites mostly like it's 2010, it's funny to look at these discussions. "How do we abstract away browser APIs" — but what if you just do not ? What if you use them directly? What if you don&#x

Screens in such museums would work nicely to augment physical exhibits. So, instead of signs and such, not as the main event.

Probably a good thing then that I've never had TikTok and avoid even opening reels in Instagram, shorts on YouTube and clips in VK, unless someone sent me one.

Not Java, thankfully! Libraries containing 1-2 trivial classes do exist, but they're an exception rather than a rule. Might be that the process of publishing to Maven Central is just convoluted enough to deter the kinds of people who w

Then the question becomes, why do developers of larger libraries import someone else's module for every little trivial thing?

You can freely exchange Russian rubles to US dollars and back. Many people I know travel like that.

What about international travelers who don't have an internationally accepted payment card because their home country was mostly isolated from the banking system in a mostly futile attempt to punish its government?
