1GZ0··on Ask HN: Native CSS timeline is here, are you switching?
Its a bit early to start using this in products (see: https://caniuse.com/?search=css-scroll-timeline)

But once its baseline I'll absolutely use it, anything to ship less javascript.

1GZ0··on Ask HN: How Did React change the front end world?
It made it way worse, just by convincing people that making everything in react would make recruiting easier.
1GZ0··on TinyJS – Shorten JavaScript QuerySelect with $ and $$
I wrote my first jQuery lite selector clone a bit ago, any feedback would be appreciated, especially since I don't see the need to separate out querySelector & querySelectorAll

``` const $ = (param) => { if (typeof param === "string" || param instanceof String) { const elm = document.querySelectorAll(param); return elm.length > 1 ? elm : document.querySelector(param); } else { return [param].length === 1 ? [param][0] : [param]; } }; ```

1GZ0··on Siduction Linux
If you're after a rolling release Distro why not go with one that was designed to be rolling release? Maybe Arch btw?
1GZ0··on Poll: Is Google Your Default Search?
Using Brave atm. Its not quite at the level Google is, especially with image search, but the AI summaries are nice.
1GZ0··on Mozilla's lapse in judgement causes clash with uBlock Origin developer
I hope so, but I wouldn't count on it.
1GZ0··on Gorhill pulls uBlock Origin Lite from Firefox store
Mozilla just can't help themselves, can they? Seriously, once Google is broken up and their donations to Mozilla stop, I won't be sad when Mozilla is forced to shut down.
1GZ0··on 'Stop ripping us off': Senate grills Novo Nordisk CEO on Ozempic drug pricing
Maybe the reason that drug prices in the US are higher across the board has more to do with insurers than the drugmakers? Sure seems like it.
1GZ0··on Stop Designing Your Web Application for Millions of Users When You Dont Have 100
When you have more micro-services than users.
1GZ0··on Mozilla has fired their Chief Product Officer after cancer diagnosis
Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better if Mozilla wasn't a thing anymore.
1GZ0··on DHH Is Right About Everything [video]
Its always refreshing when a whole industry says "You can't do this" and some guy just comes along and goes "yeah you can, I've been doing it for years".
1GZ0··on Study: Playing D&D helps autistic players in social interactions
Had many similar experiences when role playing in video games like Minecraft with an autistic relative. Him putting his needs and emotions in the context of the game made him readily engage in banter in a way that he would normally have a tough time doing.
1GZ0··on Why Google Gave Up on Being Woke
An asmongold reaction video? Are you guys kidding me?
1GZ0··on The Asteroid-in-Spring Hypothesis
Just in case you're curious.

The asteroid in spring hypothesis suggests that the asteroid impact that led to the K-Pg extinction event, occurred during spring season in the Northern Hemisphere.

1GZ0··on They're rebuilding the Death Star of complexity
Complex solutions make devs grumpy.

Grumpy devs create simplified solutions.

Simple solutions make devs happy.

Happy devs create complex solutions.

1GZ0··on COSMIC Alpha Released
I'm excited about Cosmic's potential to break open the Gnome / Plasma duopoly. Not sold on the visual design of the desktop yet, but maybe I'll come around once its out of Alpha.
1GZ0··on Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Announced for 2025
No not really, but HoMM was a nice gateway-drug to proper RTS
1GZ0··on Show HN: Z80 Sans
Every day I'm amazed at what OpenType fonts can do on their own. Material Design icons font, fonts with built-in syntax highlighting and now this.
1GZ0··on Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Announced for 2025
Warms my old gamer heart. Heroes of Might & Magic III got me info RTS in a big way.
1GZ0··on VS Code Obsolescence
Well, that is to be expected from Electron-based apps. You could try Zed or another editor that is natively coded for Mac.
1GZ0··on Beyblades

Warms my old heart seeing kids playing the same plastic garbage I used to when I was their age.

1GZ0··on Is Gaming on the Ryzen 9 9950X Better on Linux Than on Windows? [video]
Are we really getting to a point where Windows is so bad that "emulating" software made for it is faster than running it on the real thing?
1GZ0··on Esoterica Engine
Esoterica - The Minix of game engines
1GZ0··on 53% Less JavaScript with jQuery
Hold your horses now, you can absolutely do:

document.querySelectorAll('.element').forEach(i => { yourFunction(i); });

I've not used map a whole lot, but I'm positive that it would work as well.

1GZ0··on Gen Z's Confessional Style Fuels Generational Divide on LinkedIn
https://archive.md/20240810131758/https://www.bloomberg.com/...
1GZ0··on 53% Less JavaScript with jQuery
Yeah, thats a common criticism of ES6 selector I see a lot.

They are so damn verbose.

1GZ0··on 53% Less JavaScript with jQuery
Post E6 I personally think that Javascript is good enough to raw dog.

Producing code that isn't locked to a single framework or library is its own reward.

1GZ0··on Google Is Killing the Chromecast in Favor of the Google TV Streamer
Seems unnecessary to me to discontinue Chromecast. I wonder how long existing devices will be supported for.
1GZ0··on Law of Jante
Growing up with Jantelov I'd say it does a lot of good for your mindset.

I see it more as a way of focussing on what we can do to elevate everyone, instead of just ourselves. But thats just my personal interpretation.

1GZ0··on What is Toybox?
Deeply appreciate people rewriting and polishing up stuff lower down in the stack. Its work like that that makes sure the house of cards our digital infrastructure has become doesn't just collapse.
