It's honestly weird to me how much work they put into their hissy fits. It's not like their bottom line or their stock price would notice it when they would just open up their OS a bit more.

That's why there are efforts to get platform companies to allow putting PWAs into their app stores. I think on Android it's already possible with a thin wrapper and with regulatory pressure it might be necessary for other platforms to enable that as well.

They are the commercial ADSB provider

It was Mary Schmich and later Baz Luhrmann turned it into a song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_Sunscreen

I remember that dumb ad. I think that was the moment when I finally decided to read his books in his original English instead. (It helped that at this time my English got good enough that I could read whole novels complete with puns and obscure references.)

I honestly don't understand the hate that Git Flow gets these days. We've been using it in our little client-services agency (projects of 2 to 8 developers with infrequent deployments) for the last couple of years and never had any problem with it. It's easy to explain and automate and mostly just works without getting in the way.

It doesn't hit my inbox but my feedreader but I usually read https://www.garbageday.email/ first thing in my reading time

Yes. I even started to hear the noises.

Oh boy, do I have exciting news for you! https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/popover.html

I'm happy with INWX

Yes, absolutely this. Dark Sky was very generous with their historical data, none of the others is doing that.

Yes. The restriction on the Location API are pretty strict.

That's a browser's default behaviour when the location is requested without user interaction. In this case they request the location immediately when opening the page, they're supposed to add a "Use my location" button and in that case the browser would remember the decision for the current session.

I'm fine with it. Let the ants take over, they seem to have their shit together.

It must be fascinating to find the people who are still watching the Tide Pod challenge today.

I'm honestly a bit baffled - what do they actually do?

Nerds

Basically what everybody else said: tests and a static code analyzer.

Same here, for about two years now. I'm just not interested at all anymore and my "online social life" used to be my main concern. Now I have a Slack with a couple of friends and once in a while I look at Twitter while in the bathroom.

Yes, it is WebAuthn + iCloud storage of the client credentials.

I use it quite often, especially to get the json strings. It's a small tool, nothing groundbreaking, but useful for a certain target group nonetheless.

That's vector tiles, right? I'm still looking for an easy-ish way to render and host the old style of pixel tiles. Does anyone here have good pointers for that?

I think in the past they sent out "free" receivers to areas with low coverage: https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/making-the-flightradar24-... while the other tracking sites tend to be enthusiasts with their own hardware only.

You might at least want to put a warning there for people who access the page with unsupported browsers? There's nothing on the left of "⬅ Go ahead... click it." for me.

I'm usually a big fan of Paul Ford's articles but this one seems a bit off.

It's a bit more in the user's hand. You could put a beacon in your garage and one in your kitchen and send different events with OwnTracks depending on which one is close. It's a bit more granular and hyperlocal than iOS' location API.

I hate to tell you but its 2022.

The fact that this is on medium dot com is rather funny.

Server-side Rendering, which no other backend-only language could do

Isn't it the definition of a "backend-only language" that it renders server-side?
