“Support” means “actively testing and fixing bugs”

This news doesn’t mean that it just will stop working in Firefox, it’s just that they don’t test and they don’t care.

Maybe we should stop killing each other instead of banning drones.

Wishful thinking. Always have, always will. War is even “legal”, think about that, no repercussions for NATO countries.

Anyone know why it's not on the Play Store?

Can’t think of any reason that isn’t sketchy. The article gives a clue already.

If the app passes Apple’s review, then it could pass Google’s review.

I always sanitized my DTF inputs, as my last tests failed.

You can publish a package that has zero files in it, even if it mentions them in main/exports. That’s a very basic check they could do, but they don’t.

Ideally you wouldn’t be able to publish a type=module file that contains “require”, but if npm doesn’t even want to validate the existence of the file, we can never get to how to validate anything else.

At the very least warn the user that they’re publishing a broken package, but still allow it if you must.

Tell that to LinkedIn and every single social network out there. The “successful web” is successful because of dark UX. That’s the harsh truth. HN’s success is the exception, not the rule.

• that’s a solved problem: packages shouldn’t bundle CLI tools. Sindre Sorhus has been separating “CLI” from “API” for many years. “Unused dependencies” in general isn’t a solvable problem because a dependency might only be used if a certain parameter is passed. By the time that piece of code is reached, you either have it installed or it’s too late.

• that’s an issue that never got solved for the same reason: “package.json is never going away so we won’t add more ways to do the same thing” — ok so node/npm is going to suck forever, fantastic.

The last time I pointed this out, some npm dinosaur said npm allows publishing of any type of package so it cannot enforce a structure. Wow, really, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Whose fault is that? So the result is that nobody knows how to publish anything so npm is in shambles.

₱200B is 11.7 billion USD. That’s an insane investment in the Philippines, which has a GDP only 35 times bigger.

Sure. Still doesn’t make it any better. Physical green is not as eye-watering as CRT green. There’s no excuse.

Speaking as an outsider that has no emotional attachment to those wallpapers: wow, they’re really awful (except maybe the first one)

I mean one of them is bright green and red? The holy grail of what not to set as a background, as well as one of the most awful color combinations (unless it’s Christmas)

“Safari” doesn’t mean “Safari Desktop”. We’re talking about the Mac here.

Nowhere near as how many people use Chrome obviously, even on Mac.

Cuz they ugly

The dribblization of UI lead to a bunch of people trying to make things pretty for their own benefit. Then they look at it in Figma and it looks absolutely stunning. Never mind that actually needs to be understood and used by someone, that’s irrelevant.

Just today I saw a HSL color slider on Twitter that was a single hue slider with two half-arc sliders on the main slider’s handle: one above for saturation, one below for lightness. It sounds like a joke but…

It looks like people don’t get it.

This isn’t “better” than your tool of choice. This is a tool for JavaScript developers to write non-trivial scripts in a portable way without getting lost in POSIX hell. Who came up with this stuff?

If you can write shell code, Perl, Python, COBOL, suit yourself. This is for JavaScript developers in JavaScript projects.

We Europeans in form of fines. I’m not talking about class actions. Completely different market.

Come on that’s a lazy comeback. It’s obvious they have more Korean employees than Californian, I don’t need fact check. Having direct factory access (read: own) further reduces costs.

Device price

I don’t see Samsung pricing their top-end devices at less than $999, and they pay Korean salaries, not Silicon Valley salaries.

I bet somewhere along the flow a Mac will be used to build your app, so they’re definitely involved — not that I justify it.

I don’t agree. Anyone can notarize non-malicious apps at any time on the Mac already. Please look at what you can do with Mac apps before judging.

I think the issue here is just the additional payment, not the notarization. That part is hopefully rejected as a non-solution to the issue.

Too bad it'll take another 3-5 years to fix.

Sounds like we’re getting a fat paycheck from Apple via the EU in the meanwhile then.

This kind of “let him first cast a stone” comments needs to stop or else we will never get news.

If anything, having a publication release an article like this shows that they’re not held back by conflicts of interest.

Source? What do you mean by “unlinking”? There is no YouTube login, are you saying it will spin off a new gmail/google account?

new ICE vehicles are like that too.

I’d expect them to be on versus more trained than the general population. Cars are their work tools, they spend a lot of time in there.

The performance issue will long be solved before somebody comes up with a capable contender.

I wish I had such a positive outlook.

New highways are built and they are quickly filled with traffic.

That code makes me sick to my chest. Why are some people allergic to reading?

<Receives solution>

Nah I’m not opening that link, I got it

If HN is on Cloudflare, where will people report that Cloudflare is down?

The funny thing is that localStorage supports that.

Judging by the title, I thought this tool actually just synced the existing localStorage instead of being its own storage. Since localStorage has onChange events it would be trivial to built, it would still be sync, it wouldn’t require any changes to the existing code, etc

[Vista] was surprisingly alright in my experience

I never understood the hate for Vista. People were overly complacent and wanted a OS that ran on 128MB of ram like XP did. Vista was not that. When 7 came along, it was pretty much the same core, except now many computers were already Vista-capable.

I was using the Vista Beta of my 2GB-RAM computer for 6 months before release and it was vastly better than XP.

If that were true, we’d go backwards
