Yeah, IKEA isn't really a saint, few corporations are. But they've done a lot of technical optimisation as well that should contribute to their low pricing. Flatpacks, big production runs, design stuff to be cheap to produce. A wh

Yeah, I can imagine that if these things shake out well and I figure they should sell fine, IKEA will slowly add more and more software-driven stuff to their line-up. No idea if that means in-house software engineering, I imagine it wouldn&

Refreshing isn't it? Not familiar with IKEA's track record in electronics though. I've had mostly good experiences with the furniture (though price influences quality a lot). Bad experiences with their cheap wok pans. But gen

I got the impression from an earlier article that it is completely without Internet though. So more LAN of Things?

Had not visited techmeme before. Was surprised about the amount of detail in the headings for articles. The opposite of clickbait. I wonder how much that is editorial intent or just happy accidents of culture. Not familiar with the site at

Curious about this. Any clue why? Too much animation, heavy JS-use? Not familiar with how the framework does its stuff.

I assume that the hope is to get a bunch of people to drop by, discovery they like the food and come back another day when it isn't free. No idea if that actually works, probably for some.

AFAIK the VM creates a thread per core (by default) and schedules Processes across those threads and stuff. I'd say this might be possible to do with Web Workers. Sounds like it could be fun, probably a challenge to make it fast.

I would assume it is related to their widespread use of dark UI patterns and general attempts to get your to share e-mail-addresses of everyone you've ever communicated with. Constant badgering with new types of notification emails and

I'd say it depends on the framework a lot. Many frameworks deeply affect how the code is written and have very specific boilerplate, custom templating and such. And some frameworks simply offer means of doing some things in an easier,

From my reading Apple doesn't allow NFC for anything aside from Apple Pay. Severly limits the usefulness for me sadly. I'd say I encounter 50% iDevices.

Ah, you mean transcode to something the browser actually handles? I think that transcoding might be many variants of terribly slow though. I'm not sure drawing it to canvas frame by frame would be all that hard, VLC already does some k

Supported on tons of platforms, makes sense I guess. Linux has some variant for GTK as well if I recall correctly.

Appreciate the details. I'd love to do similar stuff but priorities, priorities, priorities. Was not aware that there are actually useful NFC stuff. Last time someone showed it to me it was pretty meh and I've heard that Android h

I'm trying to come up with examples of transactions we have that span multiple services but can't come up with any. We do group tightly related functionality in the same service if we can. So if they need to be updated strictly tr

Seems to me that every point is "well, it depends" and I didn't find it particularly convincing. I work in a microservice codebase with the realization that it might have been premature to what we needed but it does roughly l

Sweet lunacy, you make me envy your free time. How do you usually use the system? Automation? Remote control. I get what it can do, curious what you actually fo with it :)

I can understand someone thinking that this is a bait of some sort. I don't think it is a bait but it is sometimes hard to separate things that mirror common sentiments and feelings and things that are written to appeal to the stereoty

Well, Ionic doesn't use native UI which this seems to. Not convinced about JSON as dev environment though. Interesting regardless.

Javascript and as soon as possible WebAssembly, as I understand it. I think mobile is a secondary consideration in this at this point. Considering it is connected to the internet archival efforts and simply ensuring the survival of numerous

I'm curious how VLC usually draws inline UI elements, menu effects and such. If they need to be implemented separately per platform or if they just need to create an adapter for drawing the usual VLC UI.

It seems to me that they would use these HTML5 features and APIs to implement audio and the actual pixel output from the VLC codecs. But this would mean support for an incredible number of input formats. At least that is how I understand th
