New York was also very poor, barring some rich businessmen. You have to look at it relatively to its surrounding. Of course there were poor people too, but they lived in the “suburbs”, not in the middle of deserts like, say, in the US.

There’s not much many other countries can learn from Singapore because they all either don’t have enough money or have a greater variety of people to convince.
This smells like "let them eat cake" except in the context of technology. Not everyone is able or even wants to mess with that stuff. There's a vast difference between "Yes, backup my stuff, Apple; Here's my card" and "I know what an IP is"
At $12/year you literally cannot get anything like what Apple offers just in terms of backup — not the equipment, not the man hours required to maintain it. Even if I were able to set it all up, it would cost me a huge amount of money in lost revenue just to maintain it safely.
It feels like "I could build dropbox in 5 minutes" never stopped.
If it was a proof of concept, fine, but it's not, the author intends to develop this further and is accepting signups. I do not want this web. Just publish PDFs if you want to design fixed media.
Hard disagree.
> People have said that for literally everything we have on the web now
What I meant is that here the intent is to design something once and display it in the browser as if it was an image (or printed media), i.e. without filling the window properly.
This is 100% like displaying a PDF in a browser and it does not belong in one.
Just because they don't complain about something specifically, it doesn't mean that they don't feel discomfort.
The web is not paper, don't design for it as if it as.
Oh, and this little page weighs 4.5MB
I recently wasn’t able to recover an old account because I did not have access to my 2FA number and their help site suggested I “contact the phone company to recover the number, then try again.”
I had to do the same exact thing for another service but they did allow me to change the number by providing some information like last transaction, ID, selfie with statement.

Might as well say “shuffled emojis with random data attached”
- block the company nationwide, see Huawei (also includes ceasing contracts with app stores, both of which are American)
- block access to your website, see TPB
- harass you when you travel, either to the US or fellow countries.
If WhatsApp does not encrypt its content at rest locally, then “iCloud backups” still contain everything unencrypted too.
I’d probably paint it on canvas and then overlay an invisible plaintext node to allow selection.
What this tells me is that Caddy is slower than its competitors and they know it. If it wasn’t, then they wouldn’t hide behind meaningless responses.
Basically they answered without answering.
Bet: They’re building the core for all of their future products.
Start free, gain momentum, have “pro” addons, slowly start offering products like WebStorm but built on top of Fleet.
If JetBrains releases a free tool that competes well with VSC on core features, I don’t see why the community wouldn’t adopt it.
VSC is far from perfection, it’s only a step up from ST in that it offers a few more tools by default.
Safari has been behaving stupidly too: I type n, I see the autocomplete for news.ycombinator appear, I press the Go key… it searches Google for “n”. It’s maddening.
It’d be “cheap” or an acceptable price if a signed document costed $5. Subscriptions are BS for occasional users.
> Apple disabled subpixel antialiasing across the operating system
Right, so what is he disabling exactly?
> Chrome and Safari still use subpixel antialiasing by default
Wrong. They do not. Zoom in yourself. There are no colored pixels.
That CSS line basically acts as a `font-weight: -=100` across the document. That's all it does, and that does not belong to a CSS reset. You might as well set the rest of the `font` properties and call it a regular stylesheet.
I wonder how many disgusting things we'll be looking back at in 2070.
