The default _browser_ will mostly be Safari. But the moment webkit requirement is relaxed, all in-app browsers for Facebook, TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, etc will be replaced with their own forks without any respect for "do not track&qu

Some comments seem to be optimistic about the potential change from Apple. But once Apple relax webkit requirement from app store, it will mean all "do not track" cookie enforcement would be easily worked around.

I think what the article is addressing is likely not what is being discussed in this thread. The article ("Unfortunately, I often see solutions abusing exceptions" followed by using exceptions to replace if statements) is very lik

It's just that science is easy to verify for the people that know how. If you are actual expect of any other topics (thus can verify if their news is any good), you'll find the news for those topics is at best as bad as for scienc

I don't believe this has anything to do with AI, it most likely is rule based (not the entire system, just inclusive warnings). People like to shit on AI, but AI wouldn't really make such ridiculous suggestions, only human can. Th

Both flow and typescript are great tools. Typescript has much better tooling and great IDE integration, using typescript is a no-brainer for new projects. Flow's soundness does shine though once your codebase (and your team) becomes ve

I really hate people advocating micro services/libraries because they just migrated and "everything got much better". No, everything got much better because the known/actual problem domain changed and system is re-adjust

Compared to facebook's barebone flux library, the only real advantage these frameworks provide is about server side rendering. But I'm worried this will become irrelevant once facebook Relay is out.

Nice work! The pip/virtualenv loader is really great, and can make the plugin dev more purely focused on the plugin. I think this part can be a great standalone project. But I don't know about the boilerplate functions, some of th

It seems most people here are against this because of Facebook's (or other service providers') gain from it, but no one is arguing against Mark's actual point: "some access is better than none at all", which I think

Developers who re-invent/re-imagine some wheels usually realize at the end why the original wheels are designed like those. We, understandably, don't quite appreciate the work other people have done, where we consider their tradeo

This is an old article, and so wrong and vague in so many aspects of digital colors. It contains not much more than simple device-dependent RGB/HSV colors. To use colors correctly (not many programmers can do this, in fact Chrome/
