   > It's not W3C's (or WhatWG's) role to "oppose" random things browser vendors decide to do. Then why are they making standards in the first place? They're already deeply involved in the operation of browsers

   Funny you should mention USB products, because there's tons of bogus products with "USB certification" and/or half-assed USB interfaces which barely match any of the USB specs.

   Worrying. I see too many of these complaints about Stripe on HN. It makes me really question my company's decision to integrate with Stripe. We may have to re-think our integration.

   Why do the examples use two different styles of double quotes? `--expand-data “{ \"homedir\": \"{{HOME:json}}\” "`

   WebRTC has been supported in browsers for at least 10 years. To that end you can use a website like https://www.toffeeshare.com/ to send files directly to another person via your browser via a P2P connection, without an acc

   What do you find lacking in Firefox dev tools? For me I actually prefer them to Chrome.

   Not sure if I've done anything special but I've got history going back to 2021.

    For me it's the opposite. Firefox's dev tools feel better. What things are missing?

    Do you need a working knowledge of Greek/Roman history to enjoy this? A few sentences in and I'm overwhelmed with names of gods I barely know anything about.

    Splitting mobile viewports into 3 separate properties seems incredibly hacky to me. I really can't believe it's an official CSS spec. IMO the browser makers are at fault for making the viewport be partially obscured under the UI.

    Dunno who made this site, but I have feedback: 1. The on-site Feedback link sends you to Twitter where you must become a paid, "verified user" to message the author. I am not signing up for Twitter, much less PAYING for Twitter,

    I see a lot of hypocritical bullshit on Hacker News - a lot of it from websites which frustratingly lack HTTPS support - but this takes the cake. This has got to be some of the most hypocritical bullshit I've ever read. This all-text w

    Those solutions don't expose the phone as a storage drive like Android phones can, though.

    Is it really morally correct to include Reddit at all? They've shown they don't care about the community which powers them. Why give them your traffic?

    Things the iPhone can't do in 2023: 1. Connect via USB to a PC as a mass storage device (MTP does not count). Want to easily share files between your PC and iPhone? Haha, fuck you. 2. Be switched on immediately when plugged in, after

    Can you please add this as an option? Context is extremely important. If it's also possible to save the content of the post, that would also be extremely useful. Finally one additional suggestion which I guess might be doable (?) wou

    You've gotta remove the default subreddits which are largely dog shit. Seriously, whoever decided that trash like "r/prequelmemes" or even "r/formula1" should qualify to appear on reddit's home page n

    Definitely not perfect. The default "collapse comment" buttons being right-aligned is pure insanity, IMO. They should be left-aligned so they're all in line with each other as you scroll down the page, so you barely have to m
