Part of the reason I stopped using haskell is because of how generalized everything is. I want to get something basic done and you are expected to read a whole book some maths topi…

Thats the case for apple chargers. I have seen that macbook chargers fail after about 6 months use because they switched to a plastic that was less toxic. Conveniently the side of …

If I make a browser extension that grabs your auth token and all of your messages and sends it to my server. How is slack meant to fix that?

If this threat is legally valid, doesn't that mean all adblockers/tracker blockers could be made illegal?

Ah yes, you are right. Got those mixed up.

Nice work. I'm not a JS expert but I think I saw a bug. Inside of animate() you are calling setTimeout() to automatically call animate repeatedly but this is also calling setTimeou…

I tried that once. Main issue is you have to reply to the pings or you get kicked. I have found Matrix to be easier to interact with. You need a HTTP client instead of netcat but i…

I only started using irc about 5 years ago but I have been using it daily since then and yeah the people on it aren't too bad. I have only really seen tech stuff on it recently, al…

The speed has gotten better recently. It usually sends messages in under 1 second. The UI is still a little laggy when switching tabs but everything is slowly getting more polished…

My fitness has improved so much since owning an ebike. Yeah it's not nearly as much work as using a regular bike but unless you are using a bike all the time you are going to see a…

They have some decent videos. The one about the history of neon lights in hong kong was good.

Potentially. Although in my experience safari works 99% the same as chrome so I'd bet a bunch of devs just assume if it works on chrome it will work on safari.

Will you ever actually talk to these people? I have lots of these people in my contacts list who I once knew but haven't spoken to in ages. I have never once randomly messaged one …

Thats illegal since the GDPR.

I'd say the majority of websites were never tested on safari because most small dev places can't afford to buy macbooks just to test one browser.

The market can only sort it out if the lifespan of the product is made clear. If I buy a fridge today, I have no idea how long it will last. I can't see what standards the fridge w…

By recycling they likely mean burning the phone and getting about 10% of the valuable material back out of it.

Thats kind of how warranty works only that usually the product lasts much longer than the warranty.

They could be much cheaper to repair if they used standard parts so repair places didn't have to order in custom pieces that they only use about 1 per year because every fridge has…

Most people don't live particularly close to one.

>If a car is not cool enough for me to want to own, why would I care to use the communal car rather than the bus? Can the auto industry survive selling 10% of the vehicles is does …

This article is really poor quality and gives no useful information at all. What even is a replica of the vote system? By the sounds of the article they could have just inspect ele…

In Australia SMS is still widely used because of IM fragmentation. A proprietary IM platform will never take over and we will stay in the current mess until one of the open source …

It's bad, but bad intentionally. I haven't noticed it being buggy like snap chat. They just went out of their way to break features the browser gives you for free.

>wish they had some way to make money No one wants to pay for things anymore so what we have is a cycle of good tech that runs on investor money and makes none on it's own and then…
