Perhaps the AI boom will encourage / subsidize(?) native development in a way? If it can be made more approachable, then maybe it would become more prevalent...

Isn't Edge slightly more efficient than Chrome on Windows? Maybe it's changed, but that's always been what everyone has said.

I really only enjoyed Windows Media Player for its visualizations. I found that VLC could get close, but not quite an exact match (most likely due to licensing); there's something quite entrancing about them, and how they'd move i

I imagine that the database for the online file association service for Windows XP has been lost to time, but for those who remember it: was it any good? It seems like quite a good idea now -- if I remember correctly, Windows as of current

Many thanks for your link to the article, it was a very interesting read; fascinating to learn how glycerol interacts with lithium salts...

A browser engine maintained by AI with less human oversight sounds like a recipe for disaster.

v8 does have a sandbox feature for running untrusted scripts, and it's quite good. There's also Node's VM module.

I recall them actually marking Microsoft emails as spam. Not sure if that's even changed.

I assume Google are very hesitant to add additional permissions, and any additions get very carefully thought about. Having too many prompts can lead to popup blindness, which defeats the entire purposr of the permission system in the fir

It was never going to be perfect. I suspect the goal with things like these is to add additional friction to the process, to make it much harder for the general population to bypass them.

Ehh, who cares what the snobs think? Drink what you like! I've been experimenting with coffee for like 2 years, and have found myself really enjoying dark roasted stuff (as well as lighter stuff!) The truth is, you can get a really f

There are definitely speciality shops that sell dark roasts like you might want. One in the UK, Rave, sells the most amazing Italian-style blend with robusta mixed in. It's not fruity at all, just pure dark roasty flavour (yes, I&#x2

You can actually see what users have told Claude to add to the site, too[0]. The person continuously trying to add hash computation features for the course of 20 minutes provides a very unique entertainment :) [0]: https://monit

Some friction is probably wise. I remember them introducing the requirement to individually allow each app you're installing things from. The question is, how much more friction will they add? I suspect they will add prompts per ins

You don't really need more packages. There's definitely a culture of creating ridiculously small packages, though. If you spend enough time in the ecosystem, you'll begin to realise that a select few are very well known fo

In 2021, they published a post[0] about how they used web components, alongside a library called Calalyst. It seemed like quite a nice system. I've still seen include-fragment elements in the HTML, so I assume they still use it. [0]:

Ahh! They're really cool; kinda miss them from Google Photos. I'm hoping Immich will implement something similar at some point.

They don't seem to like generators either, which is even stranger. Why block the usage of features which might be useful in some cases?

I'm sure that's how the popular html5shim used to work, too. I remember looking at the source out of curiosity.

It always seems a shame when naturally clever people are assumed to have autism, or when their cleverness is attributed to it. Why can't someone just be intelligent without labels?

To be pedantic, assuming the fuel is used in a combustion engine, there will always be a percentage of the fuel wasted as heat energy. This depends on the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine and various other conditions, of course.

I'm not sure if this still holds true, but I recall a time when you had to use them to create error boundaries. Of course, plenty of third-party hooks were made to bridge the gap.
