It's still wild to me how "closed" iOS got browser extensions before Chrome on Android.

How does it affect binary size? Node's SEA (embedding script+node into a single binary) is slowly maturing so smaller binary sizes would benefit distribution.

Just get a modern Sony TV and be done with it. They perfected Motionflow to the point where you no longer think about framerate (choppiness nor soap opera). It's clearly a priority, probably because they are the only manufacturer with

Newpipe is great for background listening and PIP (window can be resized/moved). For downloading, Seal reigns supreme. You can 'share' a video to the app and it downloads the video right away. Link: https://f-droid

Alternatively, a non-intrusive supplement with DIM has recently been found effective against the Streptococcus Mutans bacteria. 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) decreased the Streptococcus mutans biofilm, a leading contributor to plaque and ca

It makes sense from a business perspective. Get a 'brand' product instead of some obscure free PHP clone, so you can say you have assurances for business continuity through support/fixes/security patches. Price and the g

Concerning, as their lingo would say. According to the below article this will also screw over open-source developers and data scientists: Open Source LLMs Not Exempt: Open source foundational models are not exempt from the act. The progr

The GPT term clearly has prior art. As this doesnt use an OpenAI service, OpenAI has no leverage (e.g. terminating service).

Homogenized hardware I assume, this is why iOS had so many photography Apps too.

So far I am impressed. It rightly answered: 1. Name five pop songs made by german artists. 2. Write a PHP function that replaces newlines with dots in a file. 3. Name the movie about a bowler whose identity is mistaken.

It's using a LinkedIn mechanism in a special way to make posted content stand out. Hacking sounds accurate, albeit a growth hack. Might want to look into what the H of HN stands for.

Not a cryptophobe, but his rule seems reasonable: 'use it, but you won't get support if you use it for things I don't like'. Certainly better than the 'you may only use this product if you support/disavow $x&#x

Web 3.0 is more than trading (arguably speculative) coins. Nader Dabit has done an excellent job describing the use cases: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-is-web3/

Just like WhatsApp 'conveniently' integrated Google Drive backups by default. That is why it's funny to see the fake outrage of WhatsApp's team over this.

NativeScript surely has its struggles (like all the other hybrid frameworks), but the concept is strong: - It's multi-framework (Vue, Angular, React or Svelte); easy to pick up for web devs - The per-framework implementations are fairl

One overlooked usecase is RDP and VNC-like concepts. Right now Appetize (App streaming service) uses raster graphics. Vector would allow high-FPS streaming of Apps, making running Apps in the cloud a realistic option.
