The ads and recommendations on Firetv sticks has been getting worse and worse. I tried modifying it to use a custom launcher but they keep breaking it. I think I'm going to just trash it and get a Onn. 4k Pro and install projectivy on

No need to connect or use any smart tv feature. How much is your time worth? Apple TV is the best experience (not even close to FireTV) for the cost of it. There are ways to get completely ad free if you have time. I've been using a HT

I guess I should have prefaced that if it was made with responsiveness in mind and you took from factor into consideration. Anything can suck. Responsiveness was a huge issue back then not just for Flash.

It didn't suck. BlackBerry had native API support for Air. You could easily port a Flash game using Air and integrate any native APIs you needed. We gave phones and tablets away to any developer who did this. It worked in the browser n

When is the last time you tried Cursor? It definitely doesn't import libraries. It can if you prompt it to but you have control. I find it works great it you prompt it one step at a time. It's still can be iterative but it allows

The internet still exists outside of social media sites designed to keep you there. I hope kids under 16 get addicted to anything else and don't turn to social media when they're old enough.

Haha I was working there at the time. I don't remember how many emails came in but well over 100. Emails were so abused there though. I would get over 100 a day that were work related. Think Slack over email.

This is what design systems are for. You only sand UI when you're initially creating the component. Sometimes you combine components in different ways or need to make a one off. It honestly doesn't take all that long if you know w

I thought the role of school was for teaching kids how to think. Doesn't take much imagination to think how a viral Chase money "glitch" can get past common sense when kids ignore the lesson and doom scroll tiktok.

In Canada we've had email money transfer since 2003. It used to cost $1 if you had a different bank then the person you were sending to but now it's free. Generally only good for friends and marketplace items though. Can't us

Ya. This is why React is popular. It's just a bunch of decently good front end best practices. Popular, not the best X for Y but with easy replacements.

Well said. Also been doing this since the 90s. I still like discovering new sites, blogs and creative things people make. HN is one of the better sites for that.

I agree with some of what the author is saying but add about 10 years of experience. Been coding sites since I was a kid in the mid 90s (I was a web master). I have 10 years working on brochure sites but have spent the last 10 working on ma

Remix is just react router with a build system. They replaced the build part with Vite. So the core contribution to the community here is just react router. If you watch the react conf video by Ryan it explains it all well.

I assume that of that 46% most aren't reading papers or watching good informative YouTube. They're likely doom scrolling social media or watching entertainment YouTube. Movies and games are fine if you're comparing to fiction

A lot of these rules are taken care of by design systems these days. If you're off developing your own design system or creating custom components the laws of UX are far more useful. https://lawsofux.com/ Here are a fe

This looks interesting and I'll play around with it. It will be tough to replace CSS modules and plain CSS for my React apps though. CSS is so much better now. Did you know you can nest in CSS natively now? https://develope
