I haven't, but I'm willing to bet whatever is causing the lag is a solvable issue. Even with loads of cash and time, no one has been able to make an Electron app tolerable.

That's a good sign it's not going to hog memory and randomly lag doing simple things. Leave the cookie-cutter "polished" UI to websites, I prefer my desktop applications have some character.

I am a man and I've never had pockets that can hold a phone bigger than my old 4S, and every phone since the 4S is much bigger than the 4S. But I don't want pockets to change, I want phones to get smaller again. Remember when maki

After reading the comments about the article here, I'm not concerned about being overzealous. Seems like it's doing quite a nice job. I haven't needed or wanted to unblock anything it covers so far.

They offer some kind of website hosting? I can't tell because the entire logrocket.com domain is blocked by "Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list" which I have enabled through uBlock Origin. Not sure if I turned on that l

One of my earliest memories of professional programming was talking to another dev, many years my senior in experience, about a "deprecated" API. They insisted the word was "depreciated". I didn't push it for the co

My solution to that was to RD into a Mac Mini. It was good enough to fulfill my obligations, then I got away from iOS development completely.

There was a single year where my primary machine was a Mac because I had to do some iOS work. Since I did't want the hassle of dealing with multiple machines every day, I went with a MacBook. As soon as I realized this was exactly what

It's best to just not go to those sites. Never whitelist, it defeats the whole purpose if you care one bit about tracking. If I come across enough links to a site that does that, I add them to my url blacklist, so I never see them agai

"Can you imagine how the world would work if this was the norm?" It think this is normal through electronic communication. It can be used in rapid form, but it's natural for there to be a long delay too. I prefer email and te

"but how many will still build web applications for helping perform tax audits for lawyers?" Maybe we're better off without that software. Or maybe its useful enough that a group of IRS agents and lawyers would still be willi

Ad/tracker block lists, yes, totally worth the effort because we have to fight against people that want to use our own machines against us. For the cookie notice, we're all on the same side, so we can make it easier for everyone.

I have a Wells Fargo auto loan. Their site is separate from the main Wells Fargo site. They have no animations (not even spinners) and basic web forms. The site feels so fast compared to other sites it's jarring. I often feel the need

I actually came back here to add that same idea, but why does jurisdiction matter? I was thinking a single tag like "legally-required-readonly-notification-container", for any notice that doesn't require user action for the p

Another useless attempt at reducing tracking I wish would be banished from the web. The amount of pollution in web standards; official, legal, or accidental; is becoming just as annoying as the annoying things they're trying to fix.

I figured, but maintaining that is such a waste of human life and parsing the list is a waste of my CPU time. Since no one on either side of the fence wants the notices to exist, web developers could just use a de facto standard element cla

HA, this made it to the front page right as I was composing this Ask HN submission about picking a de facto standard element CSS class so that ad blockers could just start including a simple rule to get rid of them: https://news.

A few years ago I opened my breezeway door, accidentally scared a rabbit and it ran right in front of a car :( Now, if I see an animal and what I'm about to do is going to startle it, I try to position myself, or wait until they'r

You choose the unit, just keep it at 14 per week. 2 shelves a day for me.

I'll wipe my phone right now if it's possible, but last I remember, it wasn't possible to get to the homescreen without logging in to a Google account, unless you use a custom ROM. I already have F-Droid and the only Google a

I highly suggest RSS my fellow elder. We haven't much time left. Rechecking bookmarks for new content and trying to remember if we've already watch something is a time-leech we cannot afford to feed.
