> For GFW reasons, the Chinese users will fail to connect to github.

Since when has GitHub been blocked in China? I thought the government reluctantly let it pass.

America means “french-door” as in https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/French_door

That piece of news is about only a week of pause for a version that’s even buggier than usual. Toss your Snow Leopard dreams.

“Flambéur” isn’t right but “flambeur” means something else entirely (gambler). “Flambéer” would be more legitimate but would be hard to decipher. The title tag plays it safe and uses “flambé restaurant server”.

40% improvement versus what? A docker container for nginx and another one for PHP?

I had a legit $13k offer for 180k users recently (even though it looked super shady, and the result for end-users would probably have been gross).

The catch with those enticing monthly offers (versus selling the extension) is that you are taking the risk to get your extension taken down, while the offerors can at any time switch to another partner/victim.

Could you link to a site where you’ve rolled your own SPA? Or ideally the source code. I’d like to take a look as not many people do that, even less do so with enough attention to detail not to cause UX regressions (not that third-party solutions are brilliant either).

I used curl|grep every 3 to 10 seconds manually.

Took the second-to-last successfully, thanks!

PhotoFiltre is an image editor that opens so fast that I could set it as my image viewer back when I used Windows, on low-end hardware.

Neither, it’s placeholder content used as part of a collection of web layout experiments, hence the weird URL. https://waivek.github.io/website/

I’m using it as my primary OS since late 2020.

Alt+Tab lets you switch to a previous window instantly. MacOS’s UI sluggishness is jarring when you’re a power user from another platform.

iOS ⩽ 6 used a radial gradient effect to make it clear that the modal is what’s to be interacted with.

It’s an unreliable tool worldwide because (I assume) it uses Apple’s servers/CDNs, which do not reliably max out my bandwidth (400MB/s in France). Verify the results with another tool if you don’t live in the US.

Yes, retrieval from disk caching is not as fast as one would expect. Detailed article: https://simonhearne.com/2020/network-faster-than-cache/

Most Mac-native apps operate pretty much (usually with binary plist, but MacOS includes CLI tools to operate them) like that today, and likely for ever. https://twitter.com/panic/status/679094045768073216

Can HN German speakers please confirm/rebut that “hallucination” accurately reflects what was said?

React is now the default choice. Google made everyone aware of page speed with their Core Web Vitals — speed/UX metrics affecting SEO. There’s noise about tools and practices to reduce page weight with JS-heavy sites, but in practice it still goes up linearly: https://httparchive.org/reports/page-weight. Your piece is still relevant.

Kocienda has a twitter thread on this matter (modern iPhone keyboard): https://twitter.com/kocienda/status/1565341723860971520

Safari does it too (on a big screen).

Some engineers post about their past experiences sometimes.

That’s Safari’s preview.

They’re working on ending the OS-parity nonsense with AVIF. https://webkit.org/blog/13584/release-notes-for-safari-techn...

To be clear I didn’t say I’m holding my breath. Just that it’s not “obviously” impossible.

> Apple is clearly not interested

They have made no such statement AFAIK. The fact that they adopted AVIF relatively swiftly, and generally improved their cadence a bit, makes me ready to not be surprised if they ship JPEG XL in a year or two.

MathML is making a return next month. https://chromestatus.com/roadmap

Mozilla publishes hardware stats from Firefox desktop users: https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware

<4GB devices are ~10.6% of the mix. 4GB are 20.8%.
