Likely. I did one time a creatine loading week of 30gr a day at 100kg body weight and I had to drink 7L of water to not feel like I have a hangover.

I think loading the big wordlist (279496 words as of now) is a waste of bandwidth as you only need to load permutations of the words in the selected challenge (e.g. you don't need "ABANDONEES" if you don't have a word with those letters).

While it does not use a commonly used "framework" it uses many libraries and likely has its own custom framework.

In the past we used http://microjs.com/ and similar to find small libs to work with when we threw together marketing websites, not sure how maintained that list is nowadays but the idea is that you can make websites like lego, sometimes you don't need a whole box of Eiffel tower to make a little tree.

If your functionality is well thought out and not super complicated, don't have 10s or 100s of devs on the same project then working without a well known framework could make sense, otherwise there can be steeper learning curve when onboarding new devs, scope creep / bloat, etc that will likely cause issues down the road.

To learn about this you could try to replicate for example the mentioned Obsidian by yourself and research solutions for all the issues you run into, e.g. minimal routing, custom view renders, reactivity, performance, etc.

I think all public package registries have this problem as it's not unique to npm.

The "blind" auto updating to latest versions seems to be also an issue here, simply you cannot trust it enough as there is (seemingly) no security vetting process (I mean if you get obfuscated gibberish pushed into a relatively sanely written codebase it should ring some alarms somewhere).

Normally you'd run tests after releasing new versions of your website but you cannot catch these infected parts if they don't directly influence the behavior of your functionality.

Seems like people already forgot about Jia Tan.

By the way why doesn't npm have already a system in place to flag sketchy releases where most of the code looks normal and there is a newly added obfuscated code with hexadecimal variable names and array lookups for execution...

You also accumulate screen time if you are using navigation while commuting, etc. I easily rack up 2 hours daily just from driving to my workplace and back home, so there are definitely some "passive" ways to increase those numbers.

I think focusing on numerical stats here is also a bit of a problem and while making these guardrails might help some people but the main issue should be addressed (overconsumption/addiction).

I wonder by reducing the screen time of the phone, how the screen time of the other devices (computer/tv/etc) changed.

I think web assembly can be comparable, e.g. unity/unreal/godot can compile to the browser pretty easily.

The problem is that each of these apps can be quite bloated and in the tens of MBs range not the usual single digit MB.

Not to mention in Germany the quarterly/or even monthly tax accountant fees that could bleed into a couple thousand easily in the first year of operation.

I'd say in Germany for starting a new GmbH you'd need at least 4-5k set on the side for lawyer/notary/accountant fees, this can be deducted from the 12.5k/25k bank account but it's a pain in the ... for the average startup.

I wonder what is the tarball size difference on average if you'd for example download everything in one tarball (full package list) instead of 1-by-1 as the gzip compression would work way better in that case.

Also for bigger companies this is not really a "big" problem as they usually have in-house proxies (as you cannot rely on a 3rd party repository in CI/CD for multiple reasons (security, audit, speed, etc)).

It is used for a while in a lot of places that does not market itself as "AI". Tiktok, instagram, faceapp, facebook, netflix, google ads, youtube, etc... where you can see any complex image/video filters or targeted suggestions there is likely some AI in the background.

If you have long running projects, e.g. 10-15+ years you will likely migrate from A to B (sometimes because A is so legacy you cannot even google its docs anymore and/or because B is super easy to hire for compared to the legacy A), it's based on requirements and scale.

Though in this example migrating to something else from tailwind will likely have the tooling (codemods) ready (or should have at least).

It stops the animation for me.

However I think it would be more useful if the figure would say something that converts the user to the signup e.g. "Playtime is over, time to learn" and the button would turn into sign up as well.

I guess the initial page load size is huge on desktop (31MB due to the big added list compared to mobile), because you cannot use lazy loading in flutter via `<img loading="lazy">` or similar?

If there is an option to do that I think it would be nice.
