I think if you're trying to browse sites like cnn or huff post it doesn't matter. It's really when you get into the metaweb and find developers trying to push the browsing experience you really yearn for more since non-chromi

wouldn't you expect though; if the experience got so bad, that you'd have a sort of 'hard-fork' like we see happening all the time in the crypto space; with devs moving to whatever platform is best? That would have just

It just depends on how far you're trying to push these browsers. Chrome has a lot of crazy cutting edge APIs which allow amazing developer and therefore user experiences. For example, IntersectionObserver, which allows developers to kn

I can see how this is creating a monoculture on the web which could have some really negative implications going forward. However, chromium is open source; so I don't really think this is comparable to the IE days. Also, as a web dev w

Thank you kindly! The site you have attached is also rocket speed! CMS's like shopify offer great value, and are a great starting place even for technical folks. However I think the lack of prioritization they've placed on the per

I think initiatives like the guy this one is taking is incredible, and these types of initiatives are a necessary risk in piecing the city back together. However, there is so much external risk in throwing capital into projects like these.

Tangental, but it's frustrating creating a website and optimizing it for performance down to the bone; and then having 'mission critical' plugins totally rip the potential performance gains to shreds. My ecommerce site [0] (b

I'm surprised no one is suggesting a basic revisiting of first principles. How optimized is your nutrition? Are you exercising frequently, and getting plenty of regularly scheduled, high quality sleep? Anecdotally, I know that when I s

But let’s say for example your phone and your computer are clients, and your computer has latest version of your data. When you open your phone, if your computer is not on the internet, you won’t be able to get latest. So, would this be pra

Does the paper also talk about proper dosages if one wants to supplement with these vitamins? I know it says 4000 UI for vitamin D but don't see any mention for dosages of vitamin K.

Awesome, would love to see your product! Which subreddits are you involved in? I like the idea of those resources being a sense of community for you—but for me they feel like kind of the opposite—mostly akin to anonymously shouting into a h

Well, to put it in context, Soylent Green was written in 1973 and felt like a very real concern given the political and social unrest of the time. I tend to think that this is just a sign that humans like to think in terms of superlatives.

Kind of ironic given that safari continues to lag behind in the context of implementing web APIs. Heck, they still don't even support IntersectionObserver, which was introduced in like 2014. I really do share the sentiment of others in

Wow, the original youtube homepage(1) is particularly terrible, even in comparison to other websites from that era. Especially the "I'm a male seeking everyone between 18 and 45" fields for the search box. Sounds like a datin
