Huge as compared to? Yep, on HN you will get a sizeable proportion of those interested. The world is not HN though.

Maybe that's because this demand is much lower than you imagine? Nobody cares about open source.

That's a lot of hacking to display Flash on iPad :)

Yes it tells the story. Does it help to understand the history of the code? Not necessary. I care most about what, when and where came from, not some fiction around that.

Why not $100k instead of $3k, for the job you did not get because of GMail?

I wonder how the 13x13 or 21x21 match would go. IIRC AlphaGo was tuned to 19x19 board.

And the result is they share the majority of the code and do not share the gazillion of tweaks for each plafrom, thus negating any advantage gained?

Probably huge the same way the 3D TV became huge.

Care to name a few of those things? Besides that A LOT of the new things in HTML5 standard first appeared on Safari (and mobile, for that).

with the latest webdev trends it is extremely unlikely this will improve any time soon. There was a time (~10-15) years ago when separation of concenrs and accessibility did matter, now it is just a js frameworks bloodbath.

It would be nice if guy stuck to coherent argument. Meanwhile he talks about "monarch enforcing a 30% tax.", about iOS developers barely making any money. Ok, so where are the numbers, how much money did he make with his "in

Can you tell more what exactly superfluous data is Apple gathering?

No. Also, Chrome's engine comes from the same roots as Safari's.

You'd be amazed how many bugs are found and being fixed for closed source software. Especially when people are paid to do it.

Yes, they value convenient tools they need more than some imaginary freedom they have no use for.

Don't tell me what to do and I won't tell you where to go. Democracy has nothing to do with open-source software and I will recommend the best tool for the job, open or closed source, thank you very much. OTOH maybe fewer peopel t

Yes, because free software does not mean a shit. Unless you hand assemble your devices, compiler, verify every line of code before compiling it and only then install it.

JS fatiques starts where web pages (not web apps) start to depend on thousands of kilobytes of javascript. Now the default thinking is along the lines "I am starting a new project, I will use angular", instead of some analysis wha

As it was said on BBC today: you can go into any kitchen and make yourself a cup of tea. Good luck with AI doing that.

Alice: first toss: head. Second toss: head. She can take that second toss as the begining of the new sequence and if she gets tail on the third toss she is done. In Bob's case, if he gets tail on the second toss, that toss no longer co

You may think long and hard about the meaning of the word "backdoor". A hint: it does not mean "any possible way to get access".

If your are optimizing for the development, you ar doing it wrong. So sad to see years of effort on making web more accessible thrown out of the window. How do react/angular/whatever sites work with assistive technologies like JAW

yes, API takes strings, but it calls native DOM at the end anyway, so I still don't get what's your point.

> You could argue that the API is bad for allowing HTML strings as arguments That is exactly what I’m arguing, yes. And how native DOM helps there?
