"Sane" lol have you ever used it? It's only sane if you use it raw (i.e. ESM in, UMD out), but add plugins and suddenly you have a slower and less capable webpack with lengthy config. I'm generally a fan of Rich’s tools

I think none of what you said is necessarily true. Safari certainly delegates as much as possible, but other browsers have a lot of baggage that OSes don't necessarily support. PIP is just a floating window, they have existed without e

Nothing in the video is particularly egregious other than having to use your own hardware to do it. All those precautions are followed if you’re in a controlled test environment; Since they can’t control your home and computer, they must en

The events section reads like a horror story. I can’t imagine what that poor daughter could have gone through.

I love that Apple hasn’t been able to fix their Bluetooth bugs in forever. I always hope they’ll be fixed with the next OS version, maybe the next MacBook, maybe the next iPhone. Nope. My AirPods have regular issues and my Magic Mouse regul

Reality is that this is just Zuck yapping his mouth. Nobody cares nor will care about this, video calls will continue as they've always done, Second Life will stay niche, there's no AR until my phone makes me hallucinate. We got a

Yes. Everything you said is correct. Often startups sell at a loss, this is not news.

Sounds like whataboutism. They both suck. If you live in the west, you probably don’t want to be at the pity of two superpowers, so I don’t mind the current rhetoric against China anyway.

> Staleness is also meaningful on its own. It absolutely isn’t. Look at Mozilla’s bugzilla instead: You’ll find plenty of bugs open for years and eventually fixed. Plus, stale bots don’t take Reactions into consideration. Spend a week on

What’s the point of having an open/closed status if an unsolved bug is now “closed”? You might as well close Issues and use Discussions instead.

Stale bots sucks. You know what’s even worse? Bots that lock conversations after they’ve been closed by the owner. Like. What. The conversation is not over, you’re wrong, now I have to open a new issue.

Same here. As a consultant I often find large “enterprise-style” and I get paid to make them a tenth of the size and with much less redirection. Simple is better.

That’s their own fault. No one needs to “detect” random esoteric browsers. Once you have 4/5 detections you should be good. IE8’s UA hasn’t changed in forever, so you could just copy-paste one of the many regexes online and keep it unc

Because I believe it's bad advice. Web services are never "git and a $5 box", you must preserve them and keep them up to date. I can trust GitHub with my deploy secrets; Can you trust your $5 last-updated-in-2019 box? If you

Sounds like you never used Dropbox. DB lets you share files or folders with anyone, with read-only or write access, without wasting any time whatsoever with AWS config; With Dropdox you just need a right click. If you need backup, then use

Who needs vscode when you can just hand write it and scan it?

To charge high prices you have to be attractive. Old, overweight prostitutes can’t charge as much as models. As someone who used services in the past, I don’t understand why anyone would spend any money at all on those… but they do find cli

Fifteen years is a long time. I’m sure some HN users weren’t even born yet. Not everyone needs to care about everything all the time. I would complain about JS in PDF too, but I don’t have a voice anyway.

WordPress.org is just a vector to sell Jetpack and WordPress.com at this point. In the past decade they could have easily fixed a lot of key pains in WordPress, but on one side there are a bunch of amateurs WP users who just don't care

This looks pretty comprehensive and saves me from writing an article I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while. One core concept: Forget about “DPI” unless you’re printing or engineering monitors. You, designer, can’t decide how many pixe

Other than "momentary" blindness, it feels like some people don't look at their monitors three-dimensionally: It's just buttons and fields everywhere, there's no physical separation between them, there's no hie

Unless your site is made of 4 files/modules, you simply must bundle. ESM will download the files in series, as each dependency is discovered. Then compression doesn’t work as well as it will be per-file. Then of course you can’t tree-s
