Correct. And the cool part is that it loads the file straight from disk. However it offers no Stylish-like UI

Keep in mind that Safari has enough restrictions that uBlock Origin developers decided to stop supporting it, so ad-blocking is pretty poor there.

I don’t get your comment. You just confirmed that, indeed, you need a specific computer to publish Safari extension, which isn’t the case for Firefox and Chrome extensions.

It is a limitation and it’s completely unnecessary for the end user.

If they’re so lazy to have a extensions-specific store they could at least offer an automatic wrapper that they run before publishing. I should not need XCode anywhere in my build to publish web extensions.

I agree with the general sentiment, but if you used Facebook and YouTube you know they respond immediately on tap, even if the view hasn’t completely loaded. They are SPA-style pages.

Unfortunately they are the exception as there are a lot of awful SPAs that focus on looking cool while they’re barely usable. Looking at you, Airbnb.

Yes but icons tend to be downloaded in groups so you can x10 that value. At 160 KB it starts to look like a prime target for optimization.

Indeed but that costs more. I got 12 months at $1/month as a promotional offer. If it lets me, I might restart it (even if I don’t read much at all)

Indeed, I was planning to find a California VPN to avoid the chat/call, but really it took maybe 2 minutes of idle chat to deal with it. Even my low bar for BS wasn’t that triggered. honestly I was more hopefully that they’d renew the $1/month offer instead, but nothing.

What I've been doing is stop saying anything remotely controversial or specifically related to people or society and definitely I don't interact with tweets by socially-aggressive people.

For everything else, I just use throwaways.

And I hate that my name is traceable back to my time in 2007 because it was so cool to use the same unique name everywhere. Nowadays Facebook, Instagram, LINE all are "serious" accounts but all have different IDs and lack my last name.

They are upside down down there, so it was a reasonable feature.

From what I understand, the cable has to advertise the supported power output, it’s not like a raw power outlet that will start a fire if you use a random thin cable. A 5W USB cable will probably never receive 240W, even by mistake.

So basically you’re asking for a node_modules for games!

I think that there’s a general understanding that cameras don’t match 100% what the eye sees. That’s different from a white golden gate.

That doesn’t sound realistic. Sketchy companies probably are not in your country, so good luck with those lawsuits. Second, listing your name in a list of “people with black hair” when it’s easily verifiable you have black hair isn’t a valid lawsuit.

As long as the research doesn’t allude that every extension is malicious, then it’s covered. While maybe it doesn’t belong in the research itself, someone could publish it in a separate blog post or gist.

I don’t think they’re a huge amount of people, at least currently. It looks like about 30% of Americans between 25 and 50 have never been married. That means at least 70% of that group has been married, more will marry in their lifetimes, and likely a large amount of people fornicate out of wedlock.

That indicates that the vast majority of people has at least one sexual partner, with many having a lot more thanks to sexual liberation.

For the record, I’m not saying that this is a bad thing at all. I was just alluding to the fact that we can’t compare life and expectations of safety to what it was even 100 years ago, let alone over “millions of years”

The things I read on this forum

Common doesn’t mean that most people made it. In a world where you can die for a cut, a hunter doesn’t last to be 70 very easily. This is one of those counter-myths that I’ve been seeing too often lately.

The comment about dying early made sense: Just because we lived with unprotected sex for the last million years (and we changed genetically due to some viruses that we got along the way) it doesn’t mean that we’re now still willing to bear the consequences.

I’m willing to bet that nowadays we have far more sexual partners than we’ve had since we started “society”

By placing the right elements at the right place, you can have native input and text selection, but that’s not just WebGL anymore; That’s a regular (but transparent) webpage with a WebGL background that mimics your input. It takes quite a bit of effort to emulate that effectively since there’s no guarantee that the visible text rendered by WebGL renders with what the browser renders outside it. Probably the 80/20 rule applies here.

You have a point in that this should not have lasted this long if the world was able to lock down completely until 0 cases for 8 weeks.

Other than that, what do you think would have happened if life continued unperturbed in early 2020? Do you think we’d be over it already? I don’t think that’s correct, to be polite.

For the latter questions, WebGL is rendered as an opaque bitmap in the browser (canvas element) so it amounts to an unselectable image as far as the user is concerned: It's all pixels and no text.

Use Licecap. It creates super-lightweight GIFs if there’s not much movement.

If you tweet that at @natfriedman or find the product manager, they’ll add it soon. They just added file uploads to the file editor so they might also add it to the wiki (if they haven’t already)

I’m sure HN users are aware that there are ways to share files online. File upload exists on the form but it has been arbitrarily limited.

It doesn’t. WhatsApp is an app on your phone. That’s it. It can’t be anything else anywhere else, it’s how it’s been designed.

I mean, if you’re backing your phone up, you’re basically giving them free reign over your life. Of course there’s location data, and there’s every conversation you’ve ever had on there too.

It’s a matter of expectations: You’re handing your data over to Apple for them to back it up; You’re sending photos via Facebook to share it with friends, and location data isn’t shown anywhere.

Are you looking at Facebook with glasses from 2010? Because one would expect a almost-trillion-dollar company to work on more than a single-focus product.

Why would a search engine (1997) make glasses (2013)?

It takes effort to screw up a single word while copy-pasting it from a Google search result page.

Email development is pretty niche and its own category of expertise. CSS straight up doesn’t apply there the way it’s used regularly (via selectors)

I don’t remember which one exactly but Brave lags a lot if you open a video, scroll down, and open another video, in quick succession. It starts locking up for half a second or more once you reach the tenth video on YouTube. This is an iPhone 11 Pro, the whole UI stops being responsive

The stores should finally label “free” apps for what they are: adware, subscription-based, time-limited demo, …

I dream of returning to a free category that is actually free, or with a reasonable amount of advertising.

Apple, which so much “focus” on quality they still won’t reject absolute user-hostile junk.

I find it hard to believe anyone would use Notepad past the “wow I can edit this HTML file” phase. I found PSPad years before I started working.
