This issue was related to an old macOS optimization called "detached mode" or FSLP (fullscreen low power). There were related bugs in Chrome and Firefox: - https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41359717 - https

Not suggesting an alternative model here, but I think that Google et. al (based on my own time working on Chrome) don't take that responsibility quite as seriously as they should. Being responsible may be an accident, but being dominan

This one is ever so slightly smaller at 3.25 x 8.55 x 0.85mm: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TAIYO-YUDEN/EYSHSNZWZ?q... Six of them fit on the face of a dime, which is wild.

Generally speaking yes, they are different. One pattern is that you do something to create a source of audio, and the layer below you starts handing you buffers to fill. With each buffer you send back you can indicate if you want to keep ge

I've had an issue with my phone for the past few months that could be solved by erasing it and restoring from backup, but I use Signal a bunch and I'm not currently feeling risky or motivated enough to migrate my whole Signal stat

Plus, successful couples are great advocates for the website that introduced them. You lose two customers in the immediate term but gain more as time goes on. (Also OkCupid, 2012-2015.)

A PDF doesn’t represent a responsive/resizable version of the page so it will look awkward on most screen sizes even if the original would have handled it. A PDF doesn’t capture scrolling behavior, so a nested scrolling element will lo

The top-level comment you replied to doesn’t mention malware. In any case, both hardware and software keyloggers exist which would be thwarted by an onscreen keyboard. If I recall correctly, mouse keyboards became popular when keyloggers st

FYI: I believe this works because it saves the string "false", which is truth-y. You can also use: defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool YES

Not the OP, but this is super cool as a way to measure extensions' performance impact (in a super limited way, admittedly). For me… Chrome 99.0.4844.51: - 1Password + µBlock Origin: 277 ± 2.9 - No extensions: 303 ±

I think what the author's getting at is that the function you pass to JavaScript .sort() just returns a number — not special sentinel values — which represents the relative order of two items in the array. By calling that function stra

You can, but note that as a user you have to open System Preferences and check a checkbox to allow said malware to do this. (Apple locked down the accessibility APIs that let apps easily manipulate each other a few years ago.)

Yes, exactly. I'm sure there are more elegant answers — plus watching events so that it can hide the window right away instead of running in a loop — but I haven't used the accessibility APIs much lately and this is the first work

I made a very quick hack to deal with this; it should hide the dot. Improvements welcome: https://github.com/s4y/undot EDIT: As far as I know, the best long-term answer here is for apps that present visuals full screen

Apple has support statuses for discontinued products which kick in five years ("vintage") and seven years ("obsolete") after the it stops being sold . It's disingenuous for Google to start counting when the product

This loses something important about Keybase sigchains: on Keybase, a sigchain represents an identity and not a single key, which makes it possible to add separate keys for different devices and to seamlessly replace and revoke keys over

It would be fascinating if Adobe quietly started selling license keys and offline-friendly software again. They couldn’t sell directly to Venezuela, but software, ah, finds a way.

Extensions should act on behalf of users but, like websites, some don't. A questionable or poorly-maintained extension can do more damage than any single website, and browsers can support user agency by replacing APIs with better o
