I just checked again (on mobile). It does show the sign-in prompt (was just less obtrusive on desktop). It doesn't show app prompts or cookie prompts.

A BAT plugin for FF sounds like a brilliant way for Brave to build a broader community of users.

I had the opposite take on the same product decisions. As a long-time Chrome user, I have a set of useful extensions that have become a part of my daily browsing experience. I found converting to Brave an easy transition since everything I’

The backing services factor doesn't mean that you should expect to be able to hot-swap database types. Rather, it means you should be able to "dependency inject" a compatible database into your app. Say your app is designed t

A lot of folks run into exactly those issues when they try to make fast multiplayer/multi-user. It’s less useful out of the context of the presentation, but maybe this could help with your project: https://www.slideshare.net

I agree with you but I’d phrase it differently. Perhaps that neither monitoring nor sms is “sexy,” but that you could reasonably hack together a monitoring MVP over a weekend but not a telephony MVP. There’s a natural barrier from the under

An unmarried minimum-wage worker working 40 hours/week will net about $1,085/month, so $60 would consume 11% of their biweekly paycheck. I don't know about you, but dropping 11% of my paycheck on a membership card would certa

I was a front-end developer during the AS2 -> AS3 -> Flex era. These days, I've been messing with Web Components (via LitElement) and the similarities with Flex/MXML are uncanny.

I had the very same experience and also sold my house because of it. The previous owners had sold it to me without disclosing the issue, but for the same reason (we disclosed it to our buyers). The part of the article that resonated with me
