I read this and thought “no, the iPads still have them right?”. I went to check my new iPad and... sure enough, it’s gone. I didn’t even notice. It’s one of those little moments when you take a step back and realise how much things have cha

Oh wow thank you for that referral this looks -amazing- and I have exactly the same use case as you.

You see it as a video viewer but plenty of people use it as a general media (including music) player. If you’ve got 100 songs queued up, then keeping track of a playlist is definitely necessary.

Might be interesting/feasible to build a GitPrime competitor and sell it for far less, making it approachable to much smaller businesses or teams. Since the data comes from git one assumes the analysis can be done asynchronously in the

This is so strange to read about. I’ve worn my QC35 (and QC25 before them) almost every day for about 8-10 hours a day, for years, and not once have I experienced any kind of discomfort related to their use. I’m on the completely opposite c

There's a big difference, though; they're not all connected. Each team is its own separate entity. A team with 10 people might pay Slack $100/mo, and all be in the UK. Those people and that Slack team's database doesn&#x

A Slack team is a self-contained unit, however, if I understand correctly. It -should- be easily horizontally scalable (please correct me if I'm wrong). Each team could have its own database, its own app servers running on whatever reg

Perhaps I'm just not aware how things work in companies of Slack's size, but... what do you think $4M/mo is spent on, for what essentially amounts to a chat app? I realise there a lot of extras in Slack (attachments cost S3 s

You choose closed source and you get different early adopters. You don't get the same early adopters that try out every new open source project, and that's OK because you're not trying to run an open source project, you'

Amusingly, I suppose that war, and the urge to beat the Soviet Union, is what even got people to the moon in the first place. Without it, I sincerely believe we still wouldn't have been there. If the Cold War was still raging and Russi

I didn't say that it should, only that no-audio videos behaving like GIFs seems like a good idea for bandwidth. Otherwise people will just use GIFs.

by moreira 8y ago
The same reason a GIF begins playing if you can't see it. As mentioned, video without audio is being used as a GIF replacement; it makes sense for it to behave the same way.

We're talking about different pages - one is the page with the blog post about this 339 bytes of responsive CSS (it's 2+MB). The other is the demo page with 339 bytes of CSS + the web font. The former is what the parent was talkin

It used to warn you. IE6, I believe, used to say "you're about to leave a secure site", or something along those lines. But the world was different then, and HTTPS wasn't as common as it is today. I strongly suspect that

Bear in mind, the parent is talking about the page where this article is posted, not the CSS itself or the font.

There’s a streamer, Fitzyhere, who has gone from playing SC2 (RTS) at a competitive level, to becoming one of the best players in Overwatch (FPS). So, it does happen, but you’re right in that the skills are not easily transferable. The only

Are you saying the browser you use is such a part of your personal identity that you feel personally insulted when people talk about it negatively? Why do you feel that way?

Publish it with lower-res versions of the pictures, perhaps clickable if someone really wants the higher-res version. The no-frills, no-JS, no-bloat reading experience is still useful even if your content is mostly picture-centric.

I’m not even thinking about if Facebook is ruining democracy. I just don’t like the company and I don’t want to use their products. Should be straightforward, but isn’t - to the point that you’re even ignoring your own opinion and using it

Not sure where you live but in the UK it certainly does seem like -everyone- from all walks has WhatsApp and would rather talk there. Obviously texts and phone calls are available, and I do not use WhatsApp because it’s Facebook; my comment

That compatibility with different browsers is a big enough issue in 2019 to stop you from using Firefox is just a sad reminder of how far we’ve fallen. Used to be that we actually cared about stuff being usable across browsers, after what w

WhatsApp having been bought out by Facebook is a big pain. It's the defacto messenger for cross iOS/Android communication (at least where I live), and it's harder and harder to say "no I don't Facebook".

They don't need to grandfather anything - it's similar to the GDPR in the sense that you can give companies time to prepare, and then it comes into force. Prepare the law, give companies 3-5 years to prepare, and after that, anyth
