What's the use case for this?

It is not the same because in the case of the coins above a flash crash results in liquidation of the collateral to support the peg. In the case of Luna there was no such mechanism as it relies on people doing the arbitrage required to maintain the peg.

Initially I read the headline as "How Minecraft reduced Windows 11 update size by 40%" and I was so intrigued. Oh well.

Why is type="module" the opposite of nomodule? This isn't a real question... just a big ol sigh

Why would you install the desktop app?

Not sure if this is still the case but the browser version didn't have the same noise suppression features as the desktop client.

Another minor thing for me was that the desktop client doesn't stack with the browser window in the taskbar (i.e. I can still 1 click both if I only have 1 browser window open which I usually do) and it can be minimized into the system tray.

I was under the impression that Deno is a runtime mostly intended for the server environment which is probably an area where GPU presence isn't generally as strong as on other types of devices outside of the applications that specifically need it. I could be wrong of course about anything or everything.

Most of the times when I interact with the address bar it's either to go to a different site, google something or copy the url - in all of those use cases I interact with the entire address to either replace it or select it.

I would wager almost anything that this is the case for the vast majority of regular users because most of the ones I've interviewed (N = 31) for a uni UX study didn't even know how to read URLs for the most part - especially not after the ? query part.

They probably meant that because the guidelines discord has setup are automated bots that occasionally hit innocent people while trying to enforce the rules. I think they were speaking in the broader context of Discord servers rather than the WSB Reddit or Discord specifically.

Pretty sure when krageon said "that's not what they said" they were referring to poster of the original comment that was being replied to - not the know it alls from 90s.

It's interesting that this seems on one hand "unpredictable" while also being logical. If a company has employees familiar with TypeScript (or even JS) and they have to make a choice between yet another flavor of that or a new language like C/Rust... well the choice is understandable. Once again the path of least resistance to a new web technology ended up being JavaScript - it just wasn't immediately obvious when WASM first emerged.

Cortana.

I have no metrics on this but I was under the impression that due to the size of the PHP community the package ecosystem specifically for web is probably larger. The community itself being larger is of course another plus as it means you're able to get easier access to the knowledge of others.

Thirdly of course the shared hosting providers (by what I've seen in the past) usually support PHP almost always - this is not the case for either Ruby or Python.

I wouldn't say it's unfounded but anecdotal. And I wouldn't necessarily call it "hate" either. PHP definitely isn't one of those technologies that you see often on job listings of major companies - sure they might use it for some things such as blogs but it's rarely part of the stack of their staple products. The question isn't whether they use it but to what extent and in what products.

Edge Not Found is such a good idea. I love it! A full fledged unique puzzle game could probably be built around this concept if the authors wanted to expand on it - although I'm probably stating the obvious. Pretty sure Hollow Knight has its origins in a game jam and it would be nice if this competition yielded a success like that. (mostly because I want to play more of it)

A lot of people seem to be happy about the possibility here in the comments and I can't really blame them. But one thing to consider is the impact this would have. I have a client with a small-ish e-commerce website that gets about 80% of revenue from Facebook ad campaigns and promotions. They spent a lot of time tinkering with that and optimizing it to improve sales of physical goods in all the areas they can ship to. This is of course an anecdotal example but I imagine there's a fair amount of small business that rely heavily on Facebook like that. There's also businesses where Facebook is an important tool for direct communication with customers.

My experience has been the exact opposite. As soon as I need to look up something very specific or niche DDG does not deliver and that's when I need it the most.

What sort of areas is low latency important in outside of video games?

I guess it's because the bottom and top bar look like their edges are actually touching which should be impossible with the middle bar going between them without it being squished.

In case of Adobe PDF readers I think their point would be that Adobe should notify the users - not Windows itself. That's how I interpreted it.

As the poster above hinted a lot of public offices have outdated hardware and software that is not a consideration for a lot of developers. Mobile represents ~50% of traffic among the public - not among the people who were selecting the developer using the "archaic" technology that they have in their offices.

I kind of share the sentiment expressed in the final quote of the article. From the way the dataset is described this could be really helpful to criminals and really harmful and dangerous for other folks - police and civilian alike.

Doesn't such a feature contribute to the creation of echo chambers? It's hard to tell when it comes to something like ads as they usually aren't a great source of information.

CSS’s grid layout is increasingly ready for prime time, and while we haven’t made use of it here yet, we’re continuing to experiment and learn from it. Look to future releases of v5 to embrace it in more ways.

I was actually expecting that the next major Bootstrap version would come out way later and fully embrace the CSS grid. But I suppose they are choosing a more gradual adoption and testing of waters to stay compatible with B4 websites.

I personally like having the front end templates separated from the server code as much as possible. I think Blade accomplishes this while also providing you with a syntax that is much more readable than Smarty. On top of that I feel like Blade isn't necessarily trying to do as much as Smarty.

EDIT: I certainly prefer using Blade to doing the old '<a href="' . $url . '">... and other similar variants.

The example image included in the synopsis seems a bit strange to me. It's not like they are comparing apples to apples - what they've done is essentially made the control elements blend as much into the page as possible. I don't believe that UI elements have to be of the ghost variant in order to be considered flat. They've taken away the 3D effects but they've also inverted the color scheme. As a result the very noticeable purple button became a white button. This seems to me as an unfair comparison - just removing the 3D effects would still make the then purple button fall under "flat design", no?

EDIT: It seems like in most other examples they didn't do this: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/heatmap-visualizations-sign....

On the other hand however you can argue that just changing certain control elements and not the overall design as well will have an impact. It's possible that the control elements would have been more visible on a website where the rest of the aesthetic complements them.

I'm a front-end dev mainly, where the rule is "don't break the web"

As far as I remember YouTube still isn't directly profitable for Google in terms of ad revenue and YT Red. For services like that Google would probably naturally try to minimize spending as much as possible.

It seems too good to be true in my opinon.

YouTube looks a lot like a content publisher to me. It's a monitisation platform. It transcodes for devices. It indexes the content and makes search & discovery available.

The monetization aspect seems to be the only differentiation between what would consist a virtual library and a publisher.

And we know how difficult it is to get monetized on YouTube and make it a viable source of income.

I've never heard about the "podcast" quality being conditioned on platform availability.
