please don't spread misinformation - abusing long live socket connections is what drain the battery - having one open and managing it in sane manner is quite battery efficient. Google brainwashed everyone to force them to use their pus

If you are not born into wealth you shouldn't be controlled by it - you should be able to get "free" education (tax based) so you wouldn't end up with a collar on your neck when you finish your studies and you should be

All more joy that I took the plunge and went JS-off by default with a couple of exceptions. Majority of the web works just fine, if not better.

For me, highlighting all occurrences and ctrl/cmd+g (next) is enough. Jetbrains idea does the highlight in scrollbar but I don't find it useful.

So - instead of doing a little work on your part you are forcing others (in most cases people that you DO WANT to communicate with) to jump through the hoops so they can communicate with your? In most likely event they will give up on the a

Am I so weird that I don't have problem with my e-mail box? I don't receive spam (gmail, but recently all mail providers got really great at it and even if I do receive some spam is quite sporadic). I don't receive newsletter

The problem with AMP is... it forces JS just to push less data and focus on content while the solution would be... to simply use less junk on the website. IMHO this could be done with limiting what is allowed on the website.

This doesn't remove the problem, only shift it to different place. From the local perspective: "I always eat breakfast at 8am!" - two people can communicate when they eat (or do whatever). When you move to different country i

OK, dumb question - do all applications need push communication? Apart from IMs (and maybe e-mail) I would say that everything else should rather do pull than push. And Google is doing virtually that, with enforcing push via their services

So... awful and bloated Java code (with javadocs, why?!) compared to short counter-examples from Clojure. IMHO quite terrible way to compare the two…

But do we really need "push providers"? The problem is (IMHO) that app developers don't know how to use the connection efficiently causing the radio to wake up constantly (IDLE socket connection has very low battery impact).

And... what problem do they solve? They create an application which you have to download over-and-over again instead of providing downloadable application which starts quickly. Then there is a boatload of problems (how to store data, how to
