That’s irrelevant. I already mentioned that the new view is slow and that’s a fine argument to make.

Arguing that they should maintain multiple views is just ignorant of the world we live in. You will be disappointed further.

Sigh.

No. I don’t pay. Take my data, it’s there. It’s free. Stop with this nonsense. When you pay your bills do you think they’re not selling your data? Right.

Absolutely not. Why would they support this view? It makes no financial sense.

Google kills whole successful products, what made you think that they would support alternative UIs used by dozens of us?

You could argue that Gmail’s new UI is slow. That’s fine and correct. Arguing that they should maintain an outdated view forever seems to forget that that’s not how any of the web works. It’s already weird that the view survived past 2009

> There is no reason to use gmail

Free service, perfect deliverability, never having to spell the part after "@", great spam filters, not having to "migrate" your address and emails anywhere else. There's a lot of reasons, actually.

One might not like Google, but you can't say there's "no reason"

GitHub is not git. GitHub’s wiki is actually a whole standalone repository

Types, tests, lints are all complementary. Your comparison is meaningless. The fact that you'd even compare the two shows how much your experience with linters is worth.

"I don't wear a helmet because I can just drive slowly"

"I can eat this 8-patty burger because I'm going for a run later"

I think it’s true that they can do “whatever they want”, but only once, because they’ll lose the right once found. The issue is the time between breach and punishment.

1. WASM is non-JavaScript code, so it's unrelated to npm

2. Whatever dependency hell exists in the source language still exists at WASM compilation time

3. There will never be WASM frameworks because they're generally not the bottleneck.

The closest to WASM framework was Cappuccino, which let you compose a whole application in a language close to Objective-C

`left-pad` is the perfect amount of complexity and "I'm sure I can do it" ability by everyone who looks at it. I want you to write that logic and not have some stupid mistake that was fixed in that module 15 years ago.

Now we have String.prototype.padStart thanks to that debacle.

> massive load of work for negligible (if any) gain

If you coded alone for 10 years and then add a strict linting config you're going to have a really bad time.

If you actually follow the advice a linter gives you, you come up a 10x better developer.

Of course not all lint rules are created equal, but some are arguably existential.

I agree they could definitely do a better job if they were benevolent, but keeping the whole world up to date is an immense task and it would be unsound to be punished for not being good enough at it.

What an absolute joke. Google is not god. They cannot possibly ensure that all of their data is correct.

Give that the local government neglected this road for years without placing a single permanent market to close off the road, I’m going to assume that they also never reported the road as closed.

Legally, Google should be in the clear. Technically, I hate that Google won’t take such reports, because I encountered the exact same situation before (except I did not drive through)

That statement more accurate than OP’s

Here we go! What’s next on the “X is a bank” bingo card?

Here’s what you all get wrong about this: if I can’t withdraw, it’s not a bank. Points are just prepaid assets and services that you may or may not be able to ever receive. Bank money does not simply “expire” (it can be used for fees however)

> You call signals an "implementation detail",

You haven’t even seen Svelte 5 yet, I don’t think it’s fair to say its internals will create trouble yet.

> YouTube has to adhere to it’s Terms of Service

Which say very clearly that they can kick you off at any time for any reason, similar to those “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone” (unless the reason is racism, religion and other protected categories)

Nit: I’d probably avoid saying “you’re done” when nothing was done, the user still needs to deliver it themselves. Saying “done” makes it look like it took care of it all, to a distracted person.

I’d say the opposite: “Warning, you’re not done!”

Taking inspiration from USB

Gotta show off my creations after all.

> you can’t block the experience

That doesn’t sound right. I think interstitial are permitted by the law, I don’t think it actually says anything about “the experience.”

> to force consent

The vast majority of website will work after clicking No, so that’s not forced. Only rarely I see “accept cookie or subscribe” banners.

I’m not even sure that this is not allowed either; user is technically forced to accept either because the “close tab” button is always available.

As a programmer, I hate Shortcuts. I really can’t believe 10 instructions can take multiple seconds. I can’t believe Apple decided this product is ready for prime time.

* before the iPod

Maybe its success didn’t reach global scale, but I think it’s the iPod that turned Apple Computers Inc into Apple Inc.

It feels like they eventually managed to enforce this when the App Store came along, rejecting “useless” or “redundant” apps. Eventually they gave up on that idea because they loved seeing the number of apps rise, even if those apps were, in the end, low-quality software.

I don’t think real world messages would look good in marketing copy, too many emojis, “uhhh”, “no cap” and bathroom pics. I don’t know what the author is expecting/analyzing here.

Indonesian is spoken by 200M people (45M of which as first language), I bet they could find some text for it. When joined with the Malaysian family, it brings the total speakers to 290M.

Pretty sure that's what happens with AppleCare+

That's quite a fine for a single-country ruling, it's like 2.6% of a year of revenue — or 10 days.

I think theft was more common before, but thankfully less so lately. Nothing ever went missing from my checked bags (so far), and I don’t travel in first world countries.
