Indeed, as Dario wrote in this post: > This could be seen as analogous to the SALT treaties — capping the number of missiles limited the potential for destruction while preserving each country’s deterrent

Not ruined, just diminished. If too much of the $0.25 is taken by fees, then make it $0.50, or $1, or whatever. In many places, there'd be plenty of business still.

If you mod a subreddit you can see stats. On the biggest one I mod (35k subscribers) 2.5% of the traffic comes from Old Reddit, compared to 41% from New Reddit and 16% from Mobile Web, and the rest from mobile apps. Unsure why they differen

The initial selling point was performance, but then they gradually realized that a lot of the slow cruft in Jest was necessary for correctness, and now it's about the same performance as Jest (obviously may vary in some specific situat

Well there is a permission dialog and you need to select the directory to grant access and common sensitive directories are blacklisted. A malicious ad would probably have an easier time tricking you into downloading and running an executab

So what should I do if I want to make an app with this functionality? Do I have to tell users to download and run some executable? You can imagine a case where that is a bit riskier than a nicely sandboxed web app with permission to access

It's been in Chrome for 6 years and I'm not aware of any problems it's caused.

That is similar to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System... except AFAIK that does not allow any way to access it as a normal directory outside the browser.

This isn't new, the API has been around for several years. Unfortunately Mozilla and Apple say they are never going to implement it because of security concerns https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/i

The only thing I miss from Gmail is a "send and archive" button to save me a click when replying to emails.

That's exactly what they did at my college (non-California state school) 20 years ago. Special program for students from poor high schools who otherwise wouldn't be admitted, where they came in the summer before freshman year and

The tests will be made by AI as well, because professors who spend less time on making tests can spend more time on research and get hired/promoted more. For the same reason, professors won't care who is using AI to cheat on the t

Yeah I have one semi-popular package and I am still doing local publish with 2fa because all this "trusted publishing" stuff seems really complicated and also seems to get hacked constantly. Maybe it's just too complicated fo

But in practice, nobody (well, nobody making lots of ad revenue from their website) uses AdSense exclusively. Most don't even use it at all - AdX is better as a header bidding fallback than AdSense. But those who do use AdSense as a fa

In practice there's this one guy who likes to support ancient JS engines, and this one other guy who likes making lots of tiny packages which depend on his other tiny packages. They both see what they're doing as features, not bug

The article says the city claims the biggest issue is federal regulations (the ADA) not city regulations. My neighborhood in NJ just got those fancy ADA compliant curb ramps last year, along with a repaving. It did take them much longer to

Also sad that NYC spends like $40k per student per year and they still have to resort to this.

Perl CGI scripts were ubiquitously supported by shared hosts, but IIRC mod_perl was not unless you had some custom setup on a dedicated server. Also IIRC, mod_perl was just a lot more complicated to set up and use, while mod_php was dead si

mod_perl was a lot more complicated, so in practice "normal people" (such as 14 year old me) didn't use it because it would have required a dedicated server and some sophisticated configuration, rather than a $2/month sh
