Yeah but they’re not necessary for selection. Label elements actually need an input with ID to function. The other useful use for IDs is for deep-links in articles. But then again that doesn’t mean the id should be used for selection (in JS

A few minification transforms actually kind of speed code up. If Babel hadn’t turned into a hydra this kind of transforms would have been right up its alley.

I know, that's why it's misleading and it should not be considered. A quick reader will think that "using getElementById will save me 32ms", but it'd be off by several orders of magnitude.

Please don't listen to this, it's misleading. querySelector *does not* take 62ms to run. Both of them take 0.01ms at most, try it yourself. This is the sort of micro optimization you should not concern yourself with. How often do

Yes, that’s what doesn’t work on my computer.

That's not true, I can replicate it in Chrome 96, macOS 11. It doesn't seem to work in Firefox though.

This is an old article and I think designers kinda stopped doing this because its effect is not as pronounced on high-res displays. Either way, 100% agree. Stop trying to change a OS’s text rendering, if you still are.

Most people are ignorant about Bitcoin and its risks; The fact that there are no protests should come as a surprise to no one. What people see is that they get free money from the government and maybe they’re lucky to see it go up. They don

I’m a normal user and I can see their message. Has it been vouched for in the past 4 minutes? My settings are still the HN defaults.

Sounds like you never used Vercel now AWS. I wouldn’t call AWS “super trivial” nor is Vercel equivalent.

I’m confident it’s two reasons: - too many street names make for a noisy/busy/ugly map, and we all know maps must be beautiful and nothing else - streets don’t pay for ads, businesses do, so between the two they prefer showing t

I remember some browser blocking that at some point, but I still occasionally see it. I can’t believe there’s no way to “go back to the previous website” in most browsers. Safari iOS for example just clips the history so you can’t even hold

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Heh, that’s the damnation of the expert. The more I know about movies the less I enjoy them, for example. It’s easier when you don’t notice defects.

Yeah, I get it, we have a lot to thank Tesla for the push towards EV, but that doesn't exempt them from bad reviews. Tesla is not the only EV maker anymore, so they can't hide behind "but it's an EV, so… that's whe

You’re an idiot or a spy if you think Facebook’s blocking is in anyway similar to China’s censorship. Facebook does not block anything like “Winnie the Pooh” and you don’t risk disappearing by posting on Facebook.

I think “companies” have run out of the “benefit of the doubt” as far as I’m concerned. Using the web has become a pain not because companies don’t care about UX, but because they think popup X will increase profits — and it often does. Cer

My internet-first bank’s passwords are limited to 8 characters. I'd take password rules over this idiocy any day. I reported it maybe 5 years ago and of course radio silence. I bet they plaintext it. Oh and of course I also have litera

Congrats on getting them to use a password manager, now everyone can see all of their password by typing in the master password they stuck to the side of the screen. I'm only half-joking sadly, people just don't understand why p

The surprising part is that we have a battery that lasts that long for tracking “in real time” and doesn’t weigh the bird down. How’s that possible? The article mentions that is solar-powered, but even then how much power could it generate?

You can turn any piece of a YAML into a JSON object and it will be read just as well. This YAML: user: name: Ted is equivalent to this YAML: user: {"name": "Ted"} which is equivalent to this YAML&

Many of these things are basically standard practice nowadays thanks to cross-site tracking and this is just one of the many companies that checks all the (modern shitty-company) boxes. It's good that they are exposed and people discus

I really don’t get this. Apple does provide free updates for all. If you skip major versions, you’re shooting yourself in the foot and blaming Apple for allowing it. Apple is giving you the update: Install it and now it’s up to date. They

Yeah right. As if this affected their sales at all. USB-C would only reduce accessory licensing fees.
