CPU performance has increased a lot lately, mainly because of amd. ARM CPUs and x86 are apples and oranges.

1) Intel won't be able to, at least not until they finally manage to get the new architecture out. Heat is already a huge issue for intel.

2) AMD might be saving perfect core chiplets, but probably mostly for use in EPYC as the margins are higher.

4) I expect 16 core am4 to arrive someday.

Who cares if it's an 8 core that boosts to 5 GHz? The cooling on Macbooks is thrash and it will throttle on sustained multithread workloads.

Omitting tags is something we can get used to, but just by looking at the spec I'm kinda scratching my head.

Eg. why can't the closing tag for title be omitted? Tags are not allowed inside it.

I guess it's because you should be able to type tags as the title, but having to think about stuff like that makes ommiting more of a hassle than it's worth to me.

And what if templates are used and put together? Then you suddenly need to know how every combination of templates is going to be in the future to avoid unintended side effects.

Saving a bit of data on HTML isn't my top priority, and why would it? Just by not using a bunch of css/js-libs/fonts I'm able to have a smaller footprint than 99 percent of all pages.

The default isn't touch(which is momentum scrolling), so it's by default NOT like it's most places in iOS.

Technical previews is for Safari on Mac OS, and that browser works quite well. It's safari on iOS that is a huge shitshow.

Its more unstable than ever before and far behind everyone else on features, and it's freakishly unconsistent. Heck, Apple can't make up their mind if they are having a click delay or not, so now they have it only for standalone.

No, it's not, it's the default in Chrome.

That feature has serious bugs on iOS, and that's probably why it's not the default as Apple can't get it to be stable.

Don't ask him to add it, ask Apple, it's their fault. It's not a production feature.

And since it's Apple, you can't just use another browser as it's all the same crap on iOS.

You're stuck with something worse than the 2019 equivalent of IE6. iOS is a joke when it comes to web browsing.

If that happens then you're definetly charging too little. In a lot of places you can't actually just work for just one client for an extended time as a consultant or freelancer as you then might just as well be an employee.

I'm having security issues with PayPal payments(customers making fake chargeback in an attempt to get things for free). Stripe seems like a better choice and I plan to switch, but PayPal is well known and trusted by buyers.

Sellers should not trust PayPal, at all.

Some examples? I can't think of any.

The garbage site this content is on is made by idiots. First I get one pop-up, and as I'm about to cross it out another pop-up appears on top of it with the accept button at the same position so that I accidentally press accept.

Stop with the fucking pop-ups if you don't know how to do it!

You don't have to use virtualization for something to be slow.

Most things are running basically the same when using containers, but not everything. Take networking as an example: That's usually not working as it would on bare metal and usually result in a significant performance loss.

I've always wondered: Is kubernetes hard to host on your own on a couple of servers for production?

I've never tried, but I've heard a lot of people saying it's very hard, but people are often complaining about the most basic stuff as being hard.. Sooo..?

As with everything, take "almost no cost" with a grain of salt. There sure is situations where docker can be slow compared to bare metal, even on linux.

I've been using Linux as my main OS for over 10 years now, mainly Ubuntu.

The best part is the performance and a realistic bare metal environment. You can profile code and actually trust the results. You can't say the same for virtualizarion, containers or other platforms.

I totally agree that js is used way too much and dependencies are often included without ever considering the consequences.

But Javascript itself isn't bad. Just use it when it makes sense, and minimize it. Remove any dead code so phones won't have to spend cpu and data on it.

Sure, but from a security/authentication standpoint that won't be an issue.

Even if you have my John+ajf@example.com address it still won't help you with login in on other sites as the address used on another site is still unknown.

You don't use wildcard addresses for this, you use sub/plus-addresses. That way the spam problem is completely avoided and multiple users per domain will work normally.

Servers the wrong solution? Maybe in a few situations. AWS is just too expensive.

Eg. 600 TB data out and 100 TB in is $37300 on AWS, and by going with colocation a price of < $500 is very achieveable.

That's ~1/75th of the cost!!!

There is nothing to understand here, except that AWS in insanely expensive and colocation is a way better option in this situation.

These titles are so damn stupid. I'm so sick of "they did that", and "they did this", when they don't know.

I've always wondered how someone comes to the conclusion that is was China, Russia or USA who did something.

Anonymity isn't exactly hard on the internet, so how do this all play out? Are data left behind saying something along the lines of "Hey, gotcha! Best regards, China. Contact <person> for confirmation."? No.

"Advanced Persistent Threat 10" "Suspected attribution: China"

But, let's face it, it's not known that is was China, it might just as well be anyone else.

Maybe people should stop being so damn stupid and use accurate headlines.

It's not like you're storing card data because you're using Stripe. Stripe also allows 3D Secure to be used, so Stripe is clearly the more secure option compared to PayPal.

PayPal does NOT go to extreme lengths to avoid fraudulent transactions, paypal is actually really bad at it. PayPal doesn't even offer an option for 3D Secure, and that's insane.

Seller security is also shit for digital goods and services. PayPal is full of abuse with customers creating fake claims in order to get services for free. This is getting abused more and more. Worst case scenario if you create a fake claim for digital goods or a service on PayPal is usually that you don't get the money back.

It's good when it works, but they need to remove or fix the claim functionality, and allow 3D Secure to be used.

You can pick the matte one if that's what you want. I agree that glossy screens are very annoying.

Definetly not something you have to learn. If you build something customers really want then the product will probably sell itself, and no selling or marketing will be needed.

As the previous guy said you can check for standalone on iOS. You can also add an parameter to the URL so it opens eg. /?homescreen or something like that.

Most of my mobile users(64 %) has the page added to the home screen, and it's awesome.

There is however one problem in all things web: Apple.

The amount of bugs in Safari on iOS is incredible and the developers should be ashamed of their work. Safari is literally worse than IE6 was.

But sure, users can just switch to Chrome.. Oh, wait, we're talking iOS here, so there is only one engine, and that engine is broken. So the only option is to get a decent phone, aka not an iPhone.

Like, how freaking hard can it be to make a browser that doesn't need to be restarted just to make touch or keyboard working again?

Web has had notifications for years too.

Yes. Most of my users are using the page as an app and the usage has only increased the last year's.

Debit cards are quite secure, at least here, but we're many years ahead of the US when it comes to credit/debit cards.

The magnetic strip is never used(haven't been used the last 10 years, at least), a PIN is always required at PoS and for many issuers an electronic multistep authentication process is required to order anything online with the card.

And if something still where to go wrong then you'll get your money back.

Living paycheck to paycheck is common most places in the world. It's definetly a choice a lot of people make.
