oh interesting didn't know about hnarcade. thank you :)

I remember building fluid views with rounded corners before border-radius.

Dunno. React has been around for 12 years, Angular’s current incarnation for 8 (older than React if you count <1.5), and Vue for 10.

The react's algorithm of detecting changes is based on rebuilding a Virtual DOM tree

Not exactly. This is the "mental model" but not how the algorithm works internally. There are a lot of optimizations to do as little work as possible while "appearing" to rerender everything.

This is not to say one is better than the other - each has its own benefits. But that's not a reason to choose Vue over React.

The article says "use React (or Vue, or Svelte, or Angular if you're a masochist - the point is a modern framework"

Yep, that's what we're saying in the article.

But I don't want it. I want my software to work for me, not against me.

How is said software working "against" you by collecint non-personal telemetry while purpose of that telemetry usually is making the software better for most users?

It's lore. Superman is also cool-looking and the whole story around it just adds depth; no one thinks it's real.

They can hear it from a TV/radio ad, they can see it on a billboard, they can hear it from a friend. Exploring that an app exists doesn't happen only on the product website.

I've always been an Apple ecosystem user. Both main devices and accesories. Apart from my first one, all my smartphones had been Apple. I've only used Apple computers since 15 years.

But that's it. Once my current iPhone breaks (and I took my protector off), I'm not buying another one. This is malicious compliance at the expense of user.

these are not inherent problems to PWAs tho. The data loss situation is pretty much the same for any native app. They can choose to be local only or sync to a server. Apple can also support iCloud for PWAs in theory.

Also there is nothing stopping extensions to work for PWAs. They do on Chrome desktop and you can disable/enable extensions per app. Not an Android user (yet) so I don't know how is it on mobile.

I'd say hacking the platform in a way that's elegant like this would require a certain level of understanding of it,

This. I wish I was either at the start or end of my life. In the middle is the worst imho. We've gained knowledge for years and built lifes around it and the value of that knowledge is now being threatened. It's depressing.

It feels like it's too late to switch plans and careers (and even if I do, what would that be?). At the same time I have another 30-40 years to live, a family, 20 more years of mortgage etc. so the technology has real consequences for a long time of my life, I can't get excited about it.

Years ago in one of my previous jobs, we started to have issues with the internet connection multiple times a day. After a couple of days someone noticed that the issues happen whenever I go out for smoking.

When they first introduced those aerial videos for Apple tv, someone made a screensaver out of them for MacOS and I was using that. It turns out whenever I went to smoke, my screensaver would activate and choke the network with 4k (5k?) glory.

I am not very familiar with controls engineering. Can this machine tilt or balance in a tilted position?

Other features you mentioned maybe but no one cares about the headphone jack anymore. I don't remember most people using it a lot even before it started to disappear.

yes if you're a citizen of one of the US, CA, EU

I agree with this in theory but I can't see how it will work in practice. There isn't a global "value of ability" to base the pay on. It's valued differently in every location.

I really want to see how you can hold your 15" laptop and play a game or type something while doing that.

It can be held in hands and used. So handheld. Fitting in a pocket doesn't have anything to do with being handheld.

It would be called "pocketable" or something like that otherwise. I use my Steam Deck and Switch exclusively by holding them in my hands and never dock.

A good public transport system is not difficult for families and even easier. Berlin has a pretty good public transport. We had a car when we first moved here (we're a family) but we never had the need to use it other than 1-2 occasions in a year because public transport + biking is easier, faster and more comfortable.

At the end we got rid of our car and not planning to buy another one. For those occasions that happens 1-2 times a year, we just use a car sharing app. It's also a lot cheaper than maintaining a car.

No. There are buses, trucks and vans on the road but not everything is made based on them. In many parking spots you can't park full size vans - and vans are quite popular.

In Europe, if you're driving a huge North American truck (which some people do) your parking options are very very limited. We don't build everything for their sizes only because there's some of them on the road.

Not only the energy though. "Tire emissions" are a serious problem and it's competing with ICE emissions. EV's are considerably heavier so they produce lots of fine particles from the tires. Maybe in the North America they're not that important since other cars are as heavy (SUVs and Trucks). But in Europe, EV's are by far the heaviest of the regular use vehicles.

Not having kids is selfish. Most of the worlds social systems depend on new generations of workers. I'm not only talking about paying taxes and contributions etc. But if not enough people have kids, there won't be enough doctors, engineers or cleaners when the same people get older.

Bulgaria does. https://git.egov.bg/explore/projects

I think none of those "innovative future of transportation" ideas will come to life in any meaningful scale. Transportation for the most part is a solved problem. Car dependency is the main issue and no "super innovative personal transportation device" solves this.

Where I live, there is a car sharing app which also offers Teslas. Each time I take a Tesla, I spend 5-10 minutes to set the basic stuff (seat, mirrors, steering wheel). And I know how to use a Tesla and their interfaces.

I don't know what's normal anymore but most of your examples are not normal for me :D

I mean, the whole phrase "imagine everyone else is nude" that is given to people that are going to do something with a public to reduce their awkwardness is based on this, you overlay your imagination of everyone nude with your vision.

Do you imagine this visually? Like, do you mentally see them nude? I just imagine the idea of it without any visuals accompanying.

I can imagine them conceptually but not the actual sounds themselves. Same for a song; I can't "hear" a song in my mind but I can imagine it. Hard to explain.

The way they described it was more akin to mentally "grabbing" it. Like they would be able to place imaginary things they grabbed from somewhere else in a real physical space accurately.
