It's interesting you mention upfront that you travel. Is that travel for work where you might be staying in corporate hotels? I ask because when I have travelled for work, it's the…

iOS18 will still be available for older devices right? From the looks of the preview, it’ll go back to phones from 2018 which is fairly standard for Apple. And I’d imagine older iO…

Ah, my lack of knowledge rather than a bug then, my bad! Thanks for explanation!

Same phone and same OS version down to the patch number. I’ve noticed UI hangs and stutter when changing the grades, and BNW in particular seems to cause the biggest issues. Not ye…

Similar to another reply, my M2 16GB MacBook happily runs Mistral 7B, and it will do a decent job of most requests. I use it where I’m dealing with internal code or data for work w…

Not the parent, but just a few things I’d guess would be Apple Watch specific: - I’ve had employers that require a confirmation step from an app as a form of 2FA. If my phone isn’t…

To be fair, downtime is often posted for services popular among HN readers, I don’t think there’s malicious intent, it’s merely the acknowledgment of an incident. The fact that the…

Interesting, I’ve never seen this, thanks! The problem I see with this is that whatever you’re sending this to must have knowledge of the meta information superjson produces, so at…

I understand your point and I can’t deny that Javascript continues to introduce weird, silent failures and quirks even today when everything is a bit more thought out than “the bad…

I thought it was a bit sketchy too and spoke to their support agent about it. It seems this site is run by a partner, SPOT or Service Parts or Tools. Their privacy policy lists ser…

Ah that last point really struck a nerve. - Open lid - Lock screen shows - Screen fades to black as it realises there's an external monitor - Finally unlock, windows are all bunche…

I'm unsure this is true. I was certainly disappointed when I went for a Samsung S8 at launch and found it laggy and glitchy 12 months in, and unusable at 18 months. As a short term…

You can 100% do these things in React, I don't believe React is a less able framework by any means. If anything it gives you a powerful toolbox and pulls down the guard rails. I do…

Or as part of display: grid which also has severe quirks with position: sticky despite it being a much newer API.

I love no-JS type hacks and solutions as your post has suggested, but I would actually be more concerned about using solutions like your hidden menu in production than what the par…

Do you have an example you've run into where a DSL such as Svelte's or Vue's has actually stopped you from doing something? Would be genuinely interested to see it as I've never ru…

My feelings exactly, it makes for a satisfying separation of concerns, and if you understand what's going on under the hood it makes for cleaner templates and more obvious componen…

> Because you sometimes want to filter, sort or project your data. The idea that this type of thing should be happening anywhere near the view rendering loop is the exact reason I'…

To be fair, React has been pulling this type of thing version after version. It seems like we MIGHT be settling on functions and hooks now, but only time will tell. The real kicker…

Unfortunately they pretty much dumped the class syntax early on in Vue 3's development, so you'll probably find it quite hard to transition to Vue 3 if you Vue 2 codebase is full o…

As far as I've seen, what killed it was the issue that Angular "v2" was so different from Angular.js (v1) that the upgrade path simply wasn't there. Eventually an upgrade path emer…

I appreciate React and Angular are difficult to get going without some sort of build step (React can do it, but not JSX, so it's not optimal), but Vue has always made it very easy …

At a guess, they're probably sticking with it because it enables Javascript/Typescript as an interfacing language for plugins which, given the language's popularity and cross-platf…

I'm genuinely curious to know what you find severely lacking in fetch compared to $.ajax. - handling cookies fetch('https://example.com', { credentials: 'include' }) - HTTP status …

Very true, for a big company, the time may well be worth it, particularly for the likes of FAANG where they have UK branches of their company. I suppose my only counter left would …
