With signals you can avoid the prop drilling. I think signals can help a lot with this approach

Well, someone has to start. It's ok if you use the alternative with a subset of your contacts.

True, but considering that the extension was bought in 2022 by Avast, maybe it has its own tracking built in by now or will have something concerning done to it in the future. So e…

For panning you don't need a 3D view/reconstruction. This also allows translational camera movements, but only for nearby views. Maybe I am overly pedantic here, but for HN I guess…

Should you optimize for resize performance? I guess that depends on the app. Use the tool that fits the requirements.

The problem is content exclusivity. It would be great if all the content or at least most would be available on all platforms. At least eventually. That would be great for consumer…

Another reason I can think of is the requirement not to introduce a breaking change. It is very frustrating if the codebase has a lot of hacky/bad code in it but a lot of it can't …

Because updates don't just include new features but also bug and security fixes. As always, it probably depends on the context how relevant this is to you. I agree that cooldown is…

> The government is. Companies too.

I think the problem is that they cannot communicate that they don't know something and instead make up some BS that sounds somewhat reasonable. Probably due to how they are built. …

Ain't gonna happen (unfortunately). Somehow people (outside of HN) seem to like to use apps for everything. EVERYTHING.

I also get this. Firefox on Android in Germany.

A couple of years ago I played PUBG which crashed occasionally. I rarely submitted bugs, even if it was as simple as pressing a button in the crash reporter. This is because sendin…

Interesting read for sure! This is about ChromeOS though, Chrome on other platforms was not affected.

It's always impressive how far people can take TypeScript and even build parsers with it. But this is limited to inlined string literals and cannot read files (a TS limitation). I …

In Germany LRAD systems have been used to deliver Covid 19 information, not against protesters. Used by the fire brigade. I haven't checked uses in other countries. https://en.m.wi…

Why do we need tracking for advertising though? I wouldn't mind ads based on the page content (as much). Social media websites know their users anyways, no need IMO to track users …

I don't think this is sufficient. Scripts could still do bad things, for example mining crypto.

You can use Google Play services on Lineage os. IIRC they are installed by default though there are ways to use it without them (doing that right now). About banking apps idk.

The Android App as well. I have a slightly older phone (Fairphone 3+) and it takes 10-15s for a song to start playing after tapping on it. Even if it's offline available. Didn't us…

Sounds like an interesting project, but I think it's important to find a good way to interact with browser APIs. They all work differently, like rAF, geolocation, pointer lock, cam…

IIRC extensions cannot access any URL that hasn't been specified in the manifests permission section. I think Firefox shows those URLs in the permission prompt. Those URLs can cont…

I don't know how Chrome handles this but Firefox won't install the update without the user confirming it.

It's not quite that simple. For example the button doesn't necessarily have to have an aria label. Could be the (nested!) content. There could be multiple candidates (buttons). The…

Perhaps a caching or timing issue? I updated my profile shortly after posting this (and noticing it myself).
