I'm curious that the $150 ones has a barometer and compass, while the $225 one doesn't in favour of a heart rate monitor. Given that they're specifically saying you shouldn't use it as a sports watch, what use is an HRM,

NextJS for a SSR app, or Vite for a create-react-app style SPA. Vite has been great for the whole web-dev ecosystem, since it's super easy to configure, and very pluggable, so most frameworks are built around it now. That means you can

Huh, it's super cool they have a built-in way of extending to support missing engine features!

Minecraft Bedrock uses React + a "web-like platform" (I assume this means they've just implemented the bits they needed) for their UI: https://github.com/Mojang/ore-ui

Looks like they're implementing this, which is also used by Cloudflare Turnstile: https://privacypass.github.io/ The standard has also been published as RFC9578: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9

Ooh this is interesting. Theoretically these could still be associated with my account right? Since you need to use my session token to generate these privacy tokens. Is there a technical explainer somewhere with instructions for setting th

To be fair, privacy policies are worthless. They could have a squeaky clean privacy policy and still collect data on you illegally. I did request a copy of all my data under the relevant consumer law for where I live, and it looked like the

But then it becomes a question of where exactly draw the line? And if you're going to do that, why not just charge per search so that you're not wasting money on searches you aren't using? Now you just have metered billing. W

As I understand it, they aggregate and re-rank results from Google, Bing, Yandex, Brave, (more?), plus their own index.

I've been super impressed by Android Studio overall - it works way better than any other platform-specific fork of a popular editor I've used (looking at you, Arduino). XCode is a waste of my time - it's slow, buggy, and the

I really love this! I've seen it in action a couple times in the wild, and it's super cool seeing how the site's design has evolved over time. It also has the benefit of forcing you to keep your URIs stable. Cool URIs don&#x2

Because it's built-in as an extra feature to a watch that you were already gonna buy. Garmin watches can measure blood oxygen, but not many people use the feature because it drains the battery quickly. Samsung watches can do a single l

It would be nice if the author also compared different runtimes (e.g. NodeJS vs Deno, or cpython vs pypy) and core language engines (e.g. v8 vs spider monkey vs JavaScript core)

I guess eventually it's a trade-off between doing heavy lifting yourself and paying a little more compute and bandwidth, or offloading it to clients and wasting more energy but at lower cost to the developer. I think there are environm

Apparently Thunderbird are working on reviving Firefox Send and adding encryption. Overall Thunderbird seem to be doing white well from themselves since rejoining Mozilla: >$8m in donations last year I think.

Yup the cuts across the public sector are far-reaching. I work in research and we're finding it a lot harder to get govt grants (from GNS specifically, but I hear it's the same in other fields of research)

Whenever I need to touch XCode or Android Studio, I'm reminded how lucky web devs are now that almost everything has converged around Vite (death stare at NextJS). Everything Just Works(tm). Simple plugin system to integrate anything.
