I have a music player PWA published on Android[0]. It works pretty good, my users are happy (rated 4.5 stars), and I haven't encountered any significant issues with it. For the file system access API, only the origin private file syste

It's reasonable because users typically run more than one OS: - phone - home desktop/laptop device - tablet - workstation These are not powered by a single OS, yet users want apps that run on all their devices. That's a big r

PWA install experience is nice and easy on desktop, you're right. But to be clear, the author is saying that on mobile, especially on iOS, PWA capabilities are crippled. I say this with some authority, having worked on Microsoft's

For folks uninformed about Israel's judicial reforms, the short of it is Israel doesn't have a constitution, resulting[0] in decades-long ambiguity about the powers granted to the judicial and legislative branches of government. W

I love Lit! Easy, fast, super lightweight as it's a thin layer over standards-based web components. Using it for all my side projects, as well as stuff at work. Server-side rendering is still a missing piece. But overall, I'm very

Chromium-based browsers have -webkit-box-reflect [0], which does some of the things that element() does. Specifically, it does reflections of elements. That's really the big use case for -moz-element IMO. [0]: https://develo

What's the answer to making WordPress sites faster? I too have tried better hardware, CDNs, plugins like WP Super Cache, and others means of optimizing. Very little impact. Is the problem PHP? I'm thinking of trying one of those p

Thrill of the Fight is such an amazing game. It's fun but it's also an intense workout, especially if you crank up the difficulty level. I've purchased fitness games for the Quest, and while I enjoy them, they don't give

Many non-technical users look for apps in the App Store. That said, it's possible to package progressive web apps (PWAs) for listing in app stores: PWABuilder[0]. Disclaimer: I've worked on PWABuilder. [0]: https://www.

Wouldn't this apply to email with POP and SMTP? And yet, users have clearly distinguished between good (Gmail, Hey) and bad (AOL, Yahoo) clients.

I think it's too new. HTTP/3 has only recently been standardized, and Web Transport is built atop that. New tech, not many users yet. I suspect we'll see many web games utilize this in the near future.

Thinking about this a bit more, I realized that Duolingo, the language learning app, does exactly this. It breaks up a large task, learning a language, into smaller bite-sized chunks. It rewards users with coins that can be used to do power

Thinking out loud here...is it possible to use the same patterns for good? Like, infinite scroll, bite-sized chunk UI, etc. that trick our minds into reading a full book?

I don't deny that Cache API was usable from HTTP/2 push. I'm responding to your question asking whether Chrome will obsolete the Cache API because it was usable from HTTP/2 server push. My answer is no, of course not, be

Certainly not. Cache API is a useful API that can enable faster web apps by skipping network calls altogether. It also enables offline-capable web apps. I regularly use this API to speed up my web apps -- both personal and professional. I r

You misunderstand my meaning. By "accidental", I don't mean the quarrel was accidental. We mean the death of the unborn child was accidental. (Even more, the text may not imply death of the child, but rather, premature birth.

by judah 4y ago
Not quite. The text in question deals with either manslaughter (accidental death) or premature birth. Both are distinguishable from murder, the deliberate taking of a life. And this is why the punishment is not capital.
117.
by judah 4y ago
No. In the Hebrew Bible, Exodus 21, a man who inadvertently causes either a miscarriage or premature birth (the wording is uncertain) is liable for punishment by fine. How much more so someone who deliberately kills an unborn child? The ear

Yes, and if I wasn't working my career, I could probably homeschool. When my wife and I had kids, she wanted to quit her job as a nurse and be a stay-at-home mom. We agreed this was a good solution, even though she's not cut out t
