What about the STUN, ICE etc stuff? Saying “you just open a connection” is only part of the story.

Not sure I agree with the conclusion here. If you're an Apple fan then you're predisposed to see every new release as a groundbreaking collection of work by people who love what they do. To me both iOS and Android look pretty simi

I haven’t really dug into React since Hooks were announced and... wow. Am I reading correctly that you use useCallback to avoid redefining your callback function over and over again? The surface level ergonomics of JSC and the VDOM are grea

Well yes, you've just invented an outrageous scenario then talked about how outrageous it is. You asked: "Is it that much to ask that you find the least offensive way to serve your user?" So, suppose UPS is not doing anything

> Is it that much to ask that you find the least offensive way to serve your user? Up until now there’s been no way the user has been offended because they haven’t known it’s happening. So there’s no real incentive to do it when you focu

It’s for two factor auth tokens. When I fill in a password it copies my two factor code to the clipboard, then ~30 seconds later it restores the original clipboard content. All pretty silly all things considered but I can’t think of an easi

Yes and no: they still allowed developers to do it for a very long time. I remember years ago when a social app was chastised for uploading your entire contact book to their servers without asking, because at the time there was no permissio

I actually wouldn’t be at all opposed to Apple charging, say, $30 for an iOS14 upgrade on an iPhone 6S. Seems like a fair trade off to me.

The term “Apple Silicon” is for very few people, really. How many people who purchase a MacBook know what “x86” is? Almost none. I suspect Apple don’t want the name to be all that memorable because they don’t want a large segment of their c

So the current administration botches the response to a pandemic but the media is blame because they politicized it? Healthcare is a political issue. Pretty much everything is a political issue. To pretend otherwise is to bury your head i

FWIW one of the reasons this has become relevant again is because the next version of Safari supports WebP. The article's discussion of AVIF is interesting but you're not going to be able to use it on the web any time soon. I&#x27

I’m sorry, but to me what you just described is a sales pitch. I consider it vitally important to see through them even evaluating technical decisions.

Why does it need to be compared to any OS? One of the reasons I switched to Mac was the OS X was far more stable than Windows. I still want a stable OS.

I don't understand why anyone would care about this. What difference could it possibly make? Are fewer people going to buy ARM Macbooks because the execs sounded a little wooden?

As a (not quite so new) parent I really want a coworking space that's a five minute walk from my apartment. That way I can do school dropoffs and pickups so much more easily. In my dreams expanded remote work means lots more coworking

I think there’s a difference: I too enjoy conversation with people who think differently than myself and with whom I disagree. But a self described contrarian may well hold those opinions simply because they are contrary, not because it’s s

IIRC SystemJS can be used without any transpilation at runtime. ESM cannot (unless natively supported of course, like it is in browsers)

I’m never one for developer hero worship, but I feel safe assuming that Ryan Dahl’s development abilities are not the issue here.

Deno is made by the guy who made Node. So no change in notoriety there.

by untog 6y ago
This is talking about the internal Deno code. The user facing side will still support TypeScript, though you’re also free to not use it if you want.

I guess you didn't read close enough? It says that it is "not expected to immediately affect anyone already in the United States". If that means existing visa holders currently outside of the US won't be allowed to retur

The answer here is to actually fix the system with compassion rather than suspend it and harm everyone using it. I'm not unbiased: I'm a former H1B visa holder and wasn't underpaid at all. I promise you we exist! It's no

I think the answer is simply that Google is massive and sometimes competes with itself. Android’s Instant Apps, announced a few years ago (seemingly to go nowhere?) seemed like a direct attack on the use case for web sites, but the company

I think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying and the core problem is that we somehow decided there was one correct way to make a web site, and that was to use React. Are you creating a complex webapp? Use React. Go nuts! B
