Yeah I'm guessing the TLD was the main signal, based on other comments linking to a thread about "Pinggy", who was also using a .online. The fact that Namecheap is giving them out for free means they probably are more scammy

I think they could get pretty far with a PWA, but there are legitimate arguments to go native. For use cases like podcasts, where users can download them ahead of time, it seems like Safari limits storage to 1GB [0]. Plus playing background

I would write him off less if he had shipped even one thing during those 5 weeks he spent at Twitter when he promised to "fix search".

Wikidata is a separate project, specifically for structured data in the form of semantic triples [0]. It's essentially the open-source version of Google's KnowledgeGraph; both sourced a lot of their initial data from Metaweb'

Does that logic apply only when the claimed cut is over 100%? If I advertise that my store "cut prices by 50%" but the prices are actually only 33% lower (which is the same as undoing a 50% price hike), would it be pedantic to cal

The web platform on your device needs to be locked to a specific version because the OS stopped being updated. Once the OS stops being updated, you're supposed to buy a new device. You shouldn't be allowed to use an old device wit

Web3 is dead, because the VC valuation multiplier switched from "blockchain-native" to having an "AI story", so startups don't have to pretend to care about data-sovereignty anymore. Developers want to use Postgres,

People assume programmers have the same motivations as luddites but "smashing the autolooms" presumably requires firebombing a whole bunch of datacenters, whereas it's pretty easy to download and run an open-source Chinese au

Hi, good premise overall, but there are just a lot of little things that are off. - It only counts as "fucking with tabindex" if you give it a value that's not 0 or -1. You should give that specific disclaimer, because there

> JavaScript date objects are 1 indexed for years and days, but 0 indexed for months. I don't disagree that months should be 1-indexed, but I would not make that assumption solely based on days/years being 1-indexed, since 0-in

I think he probably removed it because some people get so mad about chatbots that they miss the point of the article. It's probably for the best; I'm neutral on the chatbot thing but I do wish he could have found a way to leave in

I think it's more like "I started exercising with a trainer and then realized I don't actually need to be paying the trainer all that money, because the exercise was the important part".

In that case it's the same as a reset-password flow. In both cases it's good advice not to click the link unless you initiated the request. But with the auth token in the link, you don't need to login again, so the advice is

I've been critical of blockchain in the past because of the lack of use cases, but I've gotta say crypto functions pretty well as an underlying bug bounty system. This probably could have been a much more insidious and well hidden

It's not the most pro free speech platform, Elon deboosts and prevents users from liking any post with the word 'cis'.

No I think ATProto is "built this way". The firehose is just the output of the Relay. If Bluesky wanted to shut off the firehose, they would have to make changes to ATProto or stop conforming to ATProto. I understand that Bluesky&

Running a PDS server for yourself and a few friends is not very expensive afaik, but there's also not much benefit to doing so, because the point of the PDS is to have a clean separation between your own data and the rest of the networ

Messenger is also the only one of Meta's apps that I still use regularly and I was pleasantly surprised with their decision to roll out E2E encryption by default. https://about.fb.com/news/2023/12/default

I've never signed up for the X developer program, so I'm not bound by these terms. But I did download an archive of my data last week. Do I have implicit permission to use that data (~150k liked tweets) to train AI models? Or is t

Flutter doesn't really need any special configs either. Going by platforms, I think most developers would rather target Windows + Android + Linux over Apple Vision.

What exactly is the advantage of Swift UI over Flutter? Maybe it's slightly more efficient since Flutter does its own rendering, but in my experience I've never run into issues with performance. And I think everything should be we

I don't think that's true. There are a lot of people on Twitter who keep accidentally clicking that annoying button that Elon attached to every single tweet.

Cool game! Ran into a weird bug on puzzle 2 where adding a `flex-flow` property and then deleting it also seems to unset the `flex-direction` property on the underlying element. Probably should be disallowed under the no-mixing-shorthand ru

I didn't read JS The Good Parts until it was well outdated, and I was glad to see that a lot of the sharp edges that Crockford lists have largely been eliminated. The book was written circa ES3, so some problematic features were remove
