If you’re at the office no, but I suppose you only get a company phone if your job is to communicate.

I’m sorry but this is the funniest thing ever. Wasn’t it just a few years ago we were joking that AV software is the virus? How far have we come.

I don’t think that’s common at all outside the US. I’d argue that even suggesting that would get you blank stares for its absurdity.

I don’t think anyone has been expecting a paid-for device for the past two years just because to work you have to install Zoom, even in the US.

Yeah but China’s population is just padding the numbers here. Its tail of “low-emitting citizens” is probably as high as the high-emitters.

China is as capable as the rest of the first world to enforce higher standards if not more.

I don’t think this kind of data is known outside the airline. As far as I know public data is limited to available tickets and classes on a specific path.

Certainly in Asia people may be more polite about it… or you just might not understand when they use derogatory terms in their own language.

I’m white and I still hear people occasionally insulting me in their own language, thinking I don’t understand the words they use. It upsets me and it upsets my local girlfriend too. People are a*es and racist everywhere.

That said my experience with people in Asia has been overwhelmingly positive and that’s why I live here, even with the occasional rude comment and person taking a video of me while saying “botak”

You’re being downvoted but people who are at least a little familiar with Asia they’ll know how racist it is against people of color. Racisms in Asia is not only widespread but also out in the open, sometimes even against white people; Google “dame gaijin”

I’m in Indonesia and literally 2 weeks ago someone told me Papuan women are ugly because “they’re dark like Africans.” The Jakarta man telling me this wasn’t even light skinned.

> So ban a huge part of the CSS box model.

Yes, why not?

While eliminating them is hard, the argument here makes perfect sense. We've all been fighting margins one way or another. One could even argue that negative margins are a symptom of the problem.

When you use negative margins you're pulling the element out of the box and essentially causing overflow. Does this fix the issue sometimes? Sure. Is it the best option? Maybe it should just be the exception.

Sometimes there’s no elsewhere. Sometimes elsewhere only has crickets. It feels like you can’t both have a successful product and one that is free of noise. Only some open source software succeeds at this and even then quality often suffers immensely.

Now you’re just being dramatic. I’d review the whole comment and de-dramatize it.

Yes the web has changed and most Forums are dead, but it doesn’t mean change is not possible. Blogs are still a thing, even if you get to them through Twitter.

The issue stems from Google rewarding junk and people wanting to monetize their content. Couple the two and you have lengthy BS lost in ads, while short clean content is lost on page 59 – but it’s there.

Literally unusable on Safari on an i9. One frame every few seconds, I wonder what they're doing so wrong since OP’s more detailed Tokyo demo is pretty fast.

It doesn't save them money if you save money. This idiotic way of doing things is obviously very lucrative for them, no collating needed!

Every time I get a second message after my “wrong number” text I lose a little more faith in humanity. I regularly get voicemails and calls on my Google Voice number and people reply with stuff like “oh then tell him blah blah”.. sigh

Oh boy. Auth is that thing that looks so easy because you just need to store an md5 password to feel like hackerman. If people actually used existing solutions, web logins wouldn’t be in such dire conditions.

Right, because nothing else we already use has any chance of causing permanent damage. Nothing at all.

Leave your bubble, I’m talking about relative probability, I’m not saying that it’s “impossible.” We accept far greater risks in our daily life than this.

That’s not how reflections work. Also there’s no bug as big as a coin that such a system could/should kill, so it’s pretty easy to not misdetect that.

Again, corners have a higher probability of ending up in your eye than even just someone flipping a coin in 2022.

I think the chances of a quarter’s reflection aligning to your eye while the laser is on and pointing at it are pretty damn slim. If that’s still too high, you better eliminate all corners in your kitchen because someone is going to lose an eye. And don’t get me started on forks.

I’m not sure I follow. While resizing such area seems excessive to even be possible by the owner, I don’t see how essentially writing on unreadable sectors is a concern. This is essentially piping to /dev/null if you can’t read from it.

Don’t worry I can now sync them to music and have other humanoids look at them instead while bored out of their minds.

You just reminded me of Babylon.exe, a program that I used back on Windows 98SE/Me/XP, that would work on any part of the screen.

Apparently it’s still a thing! https://www.babylon-software.com/

Besides that, yeah, there’s so much content on The Information Highway but the signal to noise ratio is through the roof.

The thing about translations is that they’re not written by the author. You can translate something and convey the same approximate meaning, but it will always be an approximation, sometimes reduced, of the original intent of the writing.

Sometimes you just can’t translate feelings well, even if an apparent direct translation exists. Swear words are a glaring example. You can translate motherf* either word for word or with a similar swear word, but it either won’t feel native or it won’t have the same connotation.

English itself is fine. I recently read “The Gradual Extinction of Softness” [1] and I was unable to translate it into my language and maintain the same feeling.

So many people are suspicious that he has so many cameras and footage. Maybe that’s because he’s a YouTuber and documenting a flight was his exact purpose.

There are many reasons to doubt this, but cameras aren’t one.

The usual then. Pirates never have to deal with DRM and sometimes their games perform better — I recall a story about an anti-copy mechanism slowing the game down for people who purchased it. Good stuff.

I don’t know how you can say they can’t. The eSIM is just a number. An attacker can install it exactly the same way I did: I copy-pasted some numbers from an eSIM provider’s app.

I’m not talking about getting the number from the phone, but directly from the operator.

I think that the risk is more about stealing the number more than reprogramming it. If I can move my eSIM to a new phone, so can an attacker.

Say goodbye to a few markets then? Open the eSIM providers list on Apple’s website and count the countries.

I literally cannot buy a phone without a SIM card slot because I can’t use it basically anywhere I visit.

Can Apple ban Twitter without serious backlash?

React is not only 5.3kb because that’s not the only piece you will need to actually use it. Check out the bundle of CRA for a real-world example.

I agree with the general sentiment though. I think the issue is that it’s easy to just import the whole npm registry in a bundle and ship it — and it’s too hard to trim it down.

For you a 2MB bundle is ok, but for me it’s taking 30 seconds to open this site and I’m standing here. That’s not ok.

Frameworks like Next.js provide a sane base for this; Most others don’t.

I’m confused here: htmx is not an MPA. If it were, then you’d call a SSR React site a MPA too.

The core behavior of a SPA is that it loads pages via ajax and just replaces content in the current “document”. The difference between a simple SSR React site and this is that React will only fetch JSON and templates after the first load, whereas this one fetches whole chunks of HTML.

An htmx site still has to deal with all the pitfalls of SPAs, namely non-native navigation and history, and memory leaks.

Just like htmx may have solved some of these issues, a (other framework) SPA can do too.
