The absolute worst part of OS autocomplete in general is the myriad of apps which some-fn-how break typing wherever an autocompletion is available. I have an autocompletion for "aa" and it's triggered before I press space,

The funny part is how most OTAs are pretty awful with addons themselves. I know for a fact that certain OTAs will sell tickets at a loss hoping you trip up on one of their checkboxes, like the 15€ automatic checkin service many offer. I jus

I hate that the most common video container on the web does this too. Most non-"stream-ready" mp4 files lack even the basic information such as height/width until the file has completed loading.[1] [1]: https://

A lot of web "design" is about how it looks rather than how usable it is. At no point any stakeholder stops and actually uses the product, they scroll up and down, enjoy the pointless "scroll in" animations and say &quot

Safari has been releasing a lot more often than it used to. My personal gripe with Safari is how they decided to deal with extensions, forcing every developer through their hellish App Store submission experience.

Love it but no one would understand this. I bet most people would just be "stuck" in the "picked" state and not know how to exit it, with an item covering the screen. Something similar but less obtrusive would be to show

You're missing the point. Of course "the most expensive one" will cover it, but price alone should not be a differentiator.

> But it will always work Not at all. If you want to charge your phone, it might "always work", but if you want to use your monitor with USB hub and pass power to your MacBook, you're gonna have a hard time.

This is something governments should really try to tackle, but I'm afraid that their solution would be a government ID rather than proper guidance and rules for these behemoths. The way I see it resolved is for Google and Apple to link

What the f does "AI should pay taxes" even mean? These people drank their own cerebral fluid. Any company using AI is already paying taxes through their earnings.

I missed an unprotected international connection out of New York due to a weather 6-hour delay. Another passenger saw me crying on the phone with my father when I had to ask him to help me buy a new ticket back home. He (and another elderly

Oops. I really messed up. I should not have done that. I apologize. The temperature will not stop rising and I can't save you.

PayPal permanently blocked my account and all of its connected cards and bank accounts after I sent them my passport for some verification (I don't remember why). It was because a lifetime ago I had opened my PayPal account as a minor.

That "just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I'm not confident that this would prevent data loss and that it would act in a reasonable time scale.

You might not have opened any social media app lately. You need 10 seconds before you're sucked into the feed. Likes are a thing of the past, they just gather your interests by your reaction time on any content they show you. Hey yo

Not "missing" at all. Stuff like this has been available for a decade, both as library and as compile-time optimization (which is arguably better) One such example: https://github.com/developit/workerize-loade

Does your phone silently and reliably upload all the photos to your server? My guess you're conceding on that part. How's the offline app support? My full library (30k items) is available on my phone (not in high res). There are a

I don't find it hard to believe at all. Have you seen all the "240fps TVs" being sold for the past 15 years? They all apply some weird fake smoothing and people prefer them.

I reckon AWS is "free enough" for most of its users, but it's not as easy nor as safe for the common user.

No person calls it EcmaScript. They should just call it Jay Es and be done. "JavaScript" is an ugly name too.

I love reading this while my boss is pushing "redux everything" as the next step in our (React 17) codebase...

Chicken and egg problem. JSX is supported because it's popular. If React decides to push a new syntax I don't see why everyone wouldn't reasonably quickly adapt and support it.

Haven't used the dashboard in years. What's on it now might be more useful. The homepage for me should be set to Notifications. At any rate, the feed is still available and you can reach it via browser autocomplete. I open GitHub

Fonts are not generated as bitmaps, anyone who doesn't see how AI can and will be good at font generation is a fool. It wasn't long ago that we thought creativity and programming were safe from AI. Fonts are entirely within the

Have you seen the output of LLMs lately? It's not perfect, but I bet that with enough refinements they can create "art" just as well.

Because TypeScript is a (legacy) mess. There's effort towards "erasable syntax" but in practice not many really want to run anything more than basic TS in the browser, simply because you lose things like 'import _ from &

This is particularly useful when editing the top-level comment of a popular issue to specify the current status. Or when a peer opened a placeholder issue and you fill it up. Etc. If you actually use GitHub as a social network of sorts, the
