I understand that is what you want, but you cannot reserve yourself from being interpreted when posting on a public forum. The language you chose to use and the details you chose t…

Do these metrics count "no framework" as an option? With hooks, context and separation of concerns, most apps can live very well without any "state management framework" at all.

Because complex applications are now delivered as web apps instead of as desktop applications, and these require complex tooling to maintain. Then everyone wanted to use the same t…

I probably wouldn't, since it is very use case specific what concerns are relevant. So more a suggestion to get an overview of the security requirements and privacy requirements on…

Yet, plenty of tools of this caliber have been made illegal (in some parts of the world).

I can guess the modern slaves producing our cheap clothes would have an opinion on that.

Should maybe add security and privacy to that list, in this day and age. Not that it all needs to be implemented right away (depending on jurisdiction you're operating under) but h…

I did this on my Android as well, intentionally. My Galaxy S20 defaults to an animation speed that is just so horribly slow, everything feels sluggish. It also uses more battery. I…

My experience with Postgres FTS (did a comparison with Elastic a couple years back), is that filtering works fine and is speedy enough, but ranking crumbles when the resulting set …

Good for the 24% of users, then. It doesn't change the fact that tracking your detailed location and who you are around in combination can be used to determine your affiliations or…

Android and iOS have almost equal market share in Norway. Worldwide Android is a lot bigger (~70%). This affects most people, just not in the US.

If you want to quickly assess the quality of component libraries like these, especially in terms of accessibility, just take a quick look at their Select/Dropdown implementation. T…

I've been thinking about this too. I think a subscription service could work, but have no idea how many would pay to escape Goodreads, or how much.

I have been considering making one. Goodreads is so awful, and the alternatives I have found are all quite quirky or broken in one way or another. But having a database of "all boo…

I think it makes everything taste the same in an intense but uninteresting way, to be honest. It gives it the bad Chinese restaurant quality. Quantity matters, obviously.

I interpreted the change as if it would always show the quit warning regardless of any settings, since the warning popup is not exactly a new feature. Some more context helped clar…

Thanks for the downvote, whomever. I always consider switching to Firefox, as I think Chrome needs competition, but Firefox has just never been up to par in usability (especially d…

So you can't get it back? I usually use Chrome, I never lose my session no matter what I slip up to do.
