Exactly. "If a person can drive a Honda, how well can he drive a Mazda?". Duh, just as well as Honda. And just like the natural languages, the more you know, the easier it gets. > All the concepts were familiar, and the s

Well, not so sure about "quite recent one". Take e.g. parallax of the stars. It took a few hundred years to finally detect it.

If HN were to be believed five years ago SDC should have been everywhere by now.

People complaining about Safari also seem not to know how much it brought when first iPhone was released. Canvas, CSS animations, etc.

PWAs are useless.

And which company is that? (I know you mean Apple, but Apple has iPhone and iPad, and that's it.)

You cannot learn without learning. And yes, that means some memorisation.

We could not end Earth's ability to support life even if we tried our best at it.

For me as a user it adds a lot of value.

"most of us"? [citation needed]

Because people still think that CSS is something beneath their dignity and not worth learning.

I respect the research. That's a different thing than having any confidence in the models created. I also do not think that methodology is flawed, but that it does not produce reliable results (yet) because of the enormous complexity i

The models are useless. Or very useful: you can choose any you like to prove a point.

The only thing worse than climate change is the number of misanthropes.

No. No matter if you have wide-angle lens or the telephoto lens, you still need to cover the whole sensor with the image and the distance from the last glass element of the lens to the focal plane does not differ that much.

Because it is a big claim. And there are many different kinds of photographs you can take in many different situations, so something what is an advantage in one situation is a disadvantage in another. Computational photography can overcome

There is some good cheap glass, but I am not aware of any good $100 glass. I also assume that 6mpix camera has to be quite old, and that means that computational photography in iPhone 12 wrt dynamic range will be vastly superior. In any ca

Yep. They teach maths, they teach reading. That should be enough to do taxes.

It is very sad that this "cost-benefit" calculation ends up ruining the web. Devs too lazy to learn the basics and doing everything with React and a gazzilion of libs, nobody caring about accessibility, nobody caring about the url

No, it is because the idea that everything must be build using web tech is dragging them down.

Yes, make Chrome the next IE. I wonder whther things that "do not work on Safari" are alredy Chrome specific.

I see this comparison often and it is wrong. Imagine if every driver is suddenly forced to take a breathalizer test every time before driving, even if they never had a DUI case.

Why so? Or are you mixing up asymptomatic with presymptomatic, as many do? It is clear that latter do indeed play a big role in spreading infection, but the science is not so clear on the former. Likely that asymptomatic do not spread it.

Moving goalposts is not a concern either. CSS and Javascript are concerns, becaus HTML is of content/structure, CSS is for styling and JS is for behaviour. Of course somewhere along the road devs thought that HTML and CSS are to primit

I also worked at two companies like this. Both rank as #1 and #2 best places to work. A bunch of very competent people.

It's about time for developers to start to think about user experience. "Makes it easier for the user and harder for the database" needs to be reborn.
