Can’t say we’ve experienced this at all. Part of our test involves navigating to a third party site (gocardless) to set up a direct debit. The test works fantastically well and is a pretty crucial part of our flow, so we’ve come to rely on it.

I fundamentally disagree with your point that CSS-in-JS is a result of developers not knowing CSS. That's ridiculous

CSS-in-JS solves a lot of problems that people that have been writing 'real CSS' have been experiencing for a long time. Writing CSS for very large applications that deal with lots of shared components across engineering teams is a hard task. Some of those problems are alleviated by libraries like styled-components.

It's not for every use case and should only be used when there is a genuine need (rather than 'because it's shiny.') But shrugging off CSS-in-JS because you don't understand it is a bit silly.

We've found this as well. So much so that a plan is in place to move providers soon. It often just fails for no good reason at all. During testing I found that the UI completely breaks when a signature is below a certain size. I reported this, but still seems to be a problem.

I'm currently having to go through a home insurance claim for a similar reason. I stupidly took one of the keys off and bent a bit of plastic getting it back on. The damaged part of the key is on the keycap itself, rather than the mechanism underneath. Silly mistake but I imagine not super uncommon.

Took it to an Apple store and was quoted £700 to fix it which is equivalent to almost half the cost of the laptop. For a single key. Absolute insanity.

If the electrical wiring was shoddy enough to come unstuck with a minor road bump, I'd be more concerned about the rest of the wires in the ECU messing up, over a camera. This never happens

This is why I love drawing faces. Such a subtle change can make such a big difference to the end drawing. It's really interesting. I guess that's because our brains are so hard wired to process faces.

Do you own domain names? I began getting this after I was silly enough to leave my mobile number on a WHOIS register. Most of the calls I receive though aren't from legitimate companies and if you call back the number, it'll fail

- Quite often when using unreleased APIs, you turn to using "any" all over the place.

What unreleased APIs are you needing to warrant this? We've used any a couple times, but usually just as a placeholder until the data model is locked down.

- Development time is slower than writing in regular JS/React. This started to become a major issue due to the nature of our project being a prototype (fast iterations on ideas and features).

Again, I can't say I've had this experience. Development time is _initially_ a tiny bit slower, but once you've setup types, the time saved from fixing type related issues adds up very very fast. Also, autocomplete / autoimporting has actually sped up my development time hugely. Not having to worry about figuring out relative paths or imports and just being able to type a component to import it is magic.

- Lots of frustration when a package doesn't have types (although most major ones do have them).

This is true, but I've found that 95% of the packages we use do have types. The few that don't, tend to be very small indie packages that don't do a lot, so the lack of types isn't a huge issue.

I’ve noticed the same with their notifications. As of right now, I have 1 notification. I will open the menu and see there’s not actually anything there. The badge then goes away. Refresh the page and it’s there again despite not having any notifications

Not for all of them. All I had to do to get a Starling account was send them a video of me saying my company name

That's a hell of an assumption to make

On desktop, the page remains white and then the new logo fades and scales into place before the rest of the content appears. I assume they didn't test that on mobile.

But Consciousness... since quantum information isn't lost

Is this one of those instances where the word 'quantum' is used to hand-wave away weird ideas?

A massive reason I prefer spotify is because of the social aspect of it. Being able to look at a friends playlists is a pretty big deal for me. I would agree if they were pushing something like statuses or likes but I think Spotify's implementation of social actually makes the product much better

The Apple Music 'for you' section was something I never really bothered to check. I found the recommendations were poor. I love Spotify's auto-generated playlists. They have a slight problem where if you decide to listen to a new genre for a couple days it suddenly assumes that's all you want to hear, but that's a minor issue

And non Apple fanboys would never go to Apple music,

I did. Apple Music still has one major selling point: They own iTunes so anything on iTunes is on AM. For spotify and other streaming services you still have to wait a couple hours to a few days for something to appear on the other streaming services

That being said I moved back to Spotify after a year because of how awful and buggy the UI in AM is. If Apple Music could improve the UI and fix the bugs that have been about for years they could really do well. But I have my doubts as to whether that will ever happen

"Or, what does a passport or id card contain, which should be kept secret?"

Well for one the passport as a whole can then be used to commit identity fraud or cloned on the black market.

With due respect that's completely wrong. Clicker games have been a thing long before microtransactions were around and popular. I remember sinking an hour or two into cookie clicker: http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

I mean if you read the article the reason they say not to use it is specifically because they used it themselves and were burnt

It's hardly surprising sadly. Looking back through my submission history there's two instances of incompetence by the .IO handlers:

1) Storing passwords in plain text: Although the post is now down, it pointed to the fact that Nic.IO will email you your password in plain text. Something which everyone that's spent more than a few weeks coding should know not to do.

2) Another pretty major outage back in 2013 that rendered two of my sites offline.

I personally stopped using them after my last IO domain lapsed but this should serve as a stark warning to anyone thinking they can pick up a cute IO domain

Bitcoin price increase is embedded into it, since it has limited supply by design

Well no. A limited supply of something doesn't guarantee value. There has to be a need and a want for it in the first place. I could issue one of my socks a day for 20 days claiming a limited supply, but that doesn't mean they are going to be worth anything by the end of it.

There's already something in iOS to handle this: The overlay for apple pay. It slides up from the bottom and is easily distinguishable from the app you're using. If they had something similar for the iTunes password it would work really well

Switched from Sublime to VSCode a few months ago and I've found it better to my needs. It's free

I would guess that would be a response to a question you asked. Nobody that's going to be offended would be asking those questions in the first place.

I used a computer without AdBlock the other day, and it was like stepping back into 1999 with every page saturated with the 21st century equivalent of animated GIFs and auto-play MIDIs.

Really? I'm not sure that's entirely true. I don't have adblock on the temp laptop I'm using because I just forgot to install it and I have barely noticed any change in my browsing habits.

I would suggest reading the article instead of just the title before responding

The downvotes were (I assume) because you are going completely off-topic. This isn't about performance of the Atom application, it's about their commit guidelines for contributing to the project.

Editing your comments to attack people that downvoted you is only going to make the situation worse. Just face the fact that it probably wasn't a good comment and move on.

What? There isn't. You're basing your entire argument on a hypothetical 'what-if' scenario that's most likely never going to happen.

Instead of that, how about actually listing points as to why it could be bad instead of just say 'it will not end well'
