They did not want to get brutally weightmogged

It's still wild to me how "closed" iOS got browser extensions before Chrome on Android.

How does it affect binary size? Node's SEA (embedding script+node into a single binary) is slowly maturing so smaller binary sizes would benefit distribution.

Just get a modern Sony TV and be done with it. They perfected Motionflow to the point where you no longer think about framerate (choppiness nor soap opera). It's clearly a priority…

Newpipe is great for background listening and PIP (window can be resized/moved). For downloading, Seal reigns supreme. You can 'share' a video to the app and it downloads the video…

Alternatively, a non-intrusive supplement with DIM has recently been found effective against the Streptococcus Mutans bacteria. 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) decreased the Streptococ…

It makes sense from a business perspective. Get a 'brand' product instead of some obscure free PHP clone, so you can say you have assurances for business continuity through support…

Would be insane if the GPT4 model is in there somewhere (as its served by Azure).

Concerning, as their lingo would say. According to the below article this will also screw over open-source developers and data scientists: Open Source LLMs Not Exempt: Open source …

The GPT term clearly has prior art. As this doesnt use an OpenAI service, OpenAI has no leverage (e.g. terminating service).

Homogenized hardware I assume, this is why iOS had so many photography Apps too.

Sad to hear. In an alternate timeline they would have accepted the $4B+ Twitter offer and had a nice exit along the way. https://techcrunch.com/2021/04/07/twitter-said-to-have-held…

So far I am impressed. It rightly answered: 1. Name five pop songs made by german artists. 2. Write a PHP function that replaces newlines with dots in a file. 3. Name the movie abo…

Tinnitus is also a post-covid symptom. They could be looking at the wrong culprit.

This will do well as a Teams/Zoom background for nonsense meetings.

Dutch researchers claim the Japanese leaf flea, the natural enemy of the Japanese knotweed, can be used to combat it. The universe always rebalances itself. https://www.dutchnews.n…

Makes sense, as women supposedly synchronize menstrual cycles with each other (menstrual synchrony).

It's using a LinkedIn mechanism in a special way to make posted content stand out. Hacking sounds accurate, albeit a growth hack. Might want to look into what the H of HN stands fo…

Not a cryptophobe, but his rule seems reasonable: 'use it, but you won't get support if you use it for things I don't like'. Certainly better than the 'you may only use this produc…

Web 3.0 is more than trading (arguably speculative) coins. Nader Dabit has done an excellent job describing the use cases: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-is-web3/

This person very clearly doesn't get Web 3.0. Your kid enters a wrong birthdate on YouTube? Gmail account gone. File identified as DMCA material uploaded to Gdrive? Gmail account g…

This article is no longer correct as 'cache partitioning' in modern browsers stops CDN assets being reusable for different sites in cache.

Just like WhatsApp 'conveniently' integrated Google Drive backups by default. That is why it's funny to see the fake outrage of WhatsApp's team over this.

NativeScript surely has its struggles (like all the other hybrid frameworks), but the concept is strong: - It's multi-framework (Vue, Angular, React or Svelte); easy to pick up for…
