This makes me very happy. As a frontend engineer who started 15 years ago, learning the box model required a lot of knowledge of the internals of the browser. The times of having t…

> I am convinced that if react really wanted to, they could make optimizations to make it really close to svelte Facebook has been working for a while on Ahead-Of-Time compilation …

Yes and no. Browser differences are mostly disappearing, they have gained some very good APIs are CSS has gained significant layout capabilities with grids and flex. So the need fo…

You don't need a zoned date. You can invert the question and ask if a zoned datetime falls within a plain date. Temporal is very well designed thanks to building on years of prior …

If you're getting muscle spams, are you really "supplementing"?

The industry is definitely dropping the ball on offline. To give us credit, legal/privacy issues don't make it easy.

I've been using this small library inspired by Elm/Swift decoders [1]. It works, but it's not low boilerplate. I'm gravitating towards GraphQL now because strict parsing is built i…

Highly debatable. In fact, trying to classify it as a dark pattern may derail the very valid discussion that the FTC is trying to have. There are significantly worse patterns out t…

Is this really a dark pattern? There's tons of truly deceptive practices but this is one where websites are plainly asking for permissions.

It's not just about security. It's also about democracy. Who can verify that a voting system is secure? Only software engineers. And to be honest, only a small subset of them. Your…

The parent-child problem you mention can be addressed with names. Children can say "grid-name: footer". This is just a hint for the parent to decide where to place it in the grid. …

I'm surprised there's so many comments here about demographic data while that's only a really basic view into current ad tech. Since the late 2000s ad networks have invested heavil…

For $150 you get the console and 12 games. That's not too bad.

I was also a bit disappointed to find basic arithmetic. There is more. I was expecting something like an algorithm for a tile layout like https://masonry.desandro.com/ or https://g…

If I learned anything working at large companies is that hardware is never close to being as expensive as headcount.

Jana is doing this by building a browser (mCent) that shows people ads in exchange for tokens that they can use to buy mobile data. It's becoming really popular in India. http://ww…

I feel like your site is better than the OP site at what the OP site tries to do.

I thought they had confirmed LIGO's detection of gravitational waves coming from a certain pulsar that Fermi saw independently. The article you link to seems to be about gravitatio…

While it might be true that the temperatures of rocket fuel burning are enough to create plasma and some reactions that lead to mass turning into energy, I think Jabavu is right in…

I'm seriously concerned about this. "Self-driving" is not a library that you get from Github and just dump it into your car. Waymo has been doing this for a decade. Do GM's claims …

I wonder if they've made any significant advancements in input latency. Something like this was my dream device when I was in college.

> You can't handwave your way through a math exam This reminds me of a calculus exam a long time ago. One of the problems was "given the ellipsoid define by formula ______ and a ce…

Well, it must be easy when you can make art _like that_ ! Kudos!

You seem to be talking about humans, not life in general. Human evolution still happens, but selection is not based on adaptability but on societal rules. And then we're going to s…
