Not true in Safari. uBlock Origin Lite doesn't have those problems.

At least the blocker I use, uBlock Lite, isn't nerfed. It doesn't have Manifest v3-ish limitations, and can do dynamic blocking, injection, etc.

Yes, it's good at taking instructions for architectural redesign, but when it's not doing an actual architectural redesign task, it will be heavily biased towards the status-quo, despite AGENTS.md and prompts trying to steer it. M

Yeah. IME, LLMs actually introduces a lot of friction when you want to improve the design. They are 100% biased towards the status quo.

It's probably both? Started famously as batteries-included, until people started realizing there's money in dependencies. I'm not a lot into Python, though. I still write a lot of it, but I don't really read or participa

Money dictates personal philosophies. Rust and Node have too many deps because you can't make a Patreon or Github Sponsors page for contributions to stdlib. Go is batteries-included because it was made by Google by people with a salary

Yeah, I agree. SwiftUI looks exactly the same mistake Microsoft made with MFC/WTL/VB6/WebForms/WPF/Silverlight/WinRT/UWP/WinUI/MAUI. Is it a better interface and developer experience? For sure. I

As someone slightly older than average here, one of the perks of maturity for me is not caring much about what others think anymore. Childish or cringe are fine. But I don’t judge you: being a teenager or a young adult and rejecting such th

IMO a bigger nail in the coffin of native interfaces was Microsoft writing a new widget library that was supposed to be better than the previous over and over again, but to this day never quite making any of them official. Instead, I'v

This is doubly bad with, in some cases, governments, banks and other institutions pretty much forcing us to own those locked-in devices to run their apps.

> While the app is awake, sure. That's not true. The browser's push service wakes the service worker on delivery, even if the PWA is fully closed. That's the entire point of Push API vs polling.

You can send notifications with PWAs with Web Push API + Service Worker, same as a regular page. But, AFAIK, you need the server for push, though. It used to be possible to program entirely from the client with this proposed feature but AFA

I also like is Rick Beato’s analogy: Music studios were expensive, commercially ran enterprises, but were mostly replaced by software that runs at home. Studios still exist for some situations, but recording itself has been commoditized, si

I ignore video posts because my video watching time is after-hours. I browse HN at work in-between GH Actions runs, compiling and Claude thinking, so no time for videos.

Yeah. I feel it's more of a "ticking all the boxes" situation than anything. For example: I worked with Rails from 2009-2024 and I haven't come across a single Rails project in the wild that didn't have the queue du

"Business processes" can also mean "building power point decks" and other things. But your point stands: for critical business processes that need predictability, we indeed need determinism.

It’s 100% FOMO from investors, board members and C-levels disconnected from the daily work.
