CraftThatBlock··on The age of electric flight is finally upon us
Higher means lower air density, meaning less lift, meaning higher power usage, which is even more critical with electric
CraftThatBlock··on uBlock Origin 1.20
Which is also expensive. In Canada, it's 12$/m, but in includes original shows, YouTube Music, and a bunch of things I would never use. I would gladly pay a couple bucks a month to remove ads, but the fact that it's more expensive than it needs to be and includes so much more than I care about makes me not want to.
CraftThatBlock··on Level Design Patterns in 2D Games
For puzzle games, discovering the answer is much more satisfying than finding it in my opinion.
CraftThatBlock··on Stadia Founder's Edition
The founder's edition is just to pre-order the countroller (and Chromecast + few more goodies), but at launch you'll be able to buy the subscription until the free tier becomes available
CraftThatBlock··on Apple Plans End of iTunes
I believe this is related to Marzipan, Apple's way to turn iPad apps into Mac apps. Eventually will support iPhones too
CraftThatBlock··on Billions wasted on Hadoop startups, the same will eventually be true of Docker
How is mosh in there? Mosh is something to make ssh more reliable, how would that be a trend?
CraftThatBlock··on Dependabot is now free
Ah I see, thank you!

What's the difference vs Greenkeeper?
CraftThatBlock··on Show HN: nextdns.io – A Combination of Cloudflare DNS and Pi-Hole
This is really great! Is their any plan to improve performance? Google and CloudFlare are both ~15ms in my location (Montreal), while nextdns seems to be around ~30ms (which isn't bad per se).
CraftThatBlock··on Show HN: nextdns.io – A Combination of Cloudflare DNS and Pi-Hole
Just to know, this isn't using Pi-Hole (from what I understand). This is a "Pi-Hole-like" service.
CraftThatBlock··on Nissan says Leaf batteries will outlast the car by 10-12 years
Very cold and very hot is bad for batteries, and can help them degrade faster. So cold winter would degrade them too
CraftThatBlock··on Show HN: Uranus – Memo and Task App
Cool! Notion (https://notion.so) is also similar, I use it personally and at work and it's an awesome product.
CraftThatBlock··on Flutter and Chrome OS
Since it's their own custom renderer, they just need to write a back-end for the web (which is what they are doing)
CraftThatBlock··on Flutter and Chrome OS
This is satire, VanillaJS is literally JavaScript. The import file is empty.
CraftThatBlock··on Flutter and Chrome OS
Yes, since Android apps on Chrome OS actually have the most access to the system, more than websites.
CraftThatBlock··on Flutter and Chrome OS
I've just tried this on my apps which I've done no accessibility work yet. It's not perfectly accessible (would need to add some annotations to some text) but they are mostly accessible
CraftThatBlock··on Flutter and Chrome OS
That's wrong, this is a Flutter app, built to run on Android, running in Chrome OS.
CraftThatBlock··on Flutter and Chrome OS
Debug mode has the same performance for 10 lines vs 25k lines, it's really just that it's running in the VM, and has debugging symbol. Performance is almost the same as compiled in my experience, although things like launch and resizing are slower due to how the VM works
CraftThatBlock··on Common mistakes in PostgreSQL
From what I understand, it's to prevent application level errors where you do send it with a timezone, as you mentioned. This avoids the conversion (since it is stored as UTC) at the application level
CraftThatBlock··on Apache Software Foundation joins GitHub open source community
I'm at a company which we have hundreds of Jira users, and for us, it works quite well.

It's really about how the team/department uses Jira, how it's setup, and the overall process.

My last company we were ~30, and it was a total mess (although we were only ~3 developers). It's really about how it's setup.

CraftThatBlock··on Jsonnet – A data templating language
He is producing JSON, just as you said. Not sure you understood him.

He has a TS script that outputs JSON, which he is using as config.

CraftThatBlock··on Oculus Rift S
By bad, I just saw that the trackers are now built-in. I wonder if they will allow adding additional sensors.
CraftThatBlock··on Oculus Rift S
Using 3 sensors you can track full 360°, it works very well with my setup
CraftThatBlock··on Ask HN: Why do I see so much crazy inline styling on websites these days?
Also, many React libraries automatically inline styles when server-side rendered, to (as mentioned by other commenters) improve page performance. The developers working on the page most likely didn't write the style directly inline, but was added in compilation, through a library, or using React's style prop.
CraftThatBlock··on A Heavily-Commented Linux Kernel Source Code [pdf]
Ah my bad. I guess it's still relatively fair overall.
CraftThatBlock··on A Heavily-Commented Linux Kernel Source Code [pdf]
1117 pages for millions of lines of code doesn't seem too bad, relatively speaking
CraftThatBlock··on First .dev Domains Go Live
I agree, although this requirement of from ICANN, not Google themselves
CraftThatBlock··on First .dev Domains Go Live
Also as another commenter said, Trademark owners (GitHub, Slack, etc) could get their domains earlier at a lower price.
CraftThatBlock··on Introducing draft pull requests
What the OP is saying is that someone can review a PR even when it's not ready by accident (not seeing WIP in title/tag), while with a draft, the reviews are disabled until its ready for review.

This basically is a better WIP system than before because it can prevent accidental reviews and wasting time of re-reviewing when it actually is ready.

CraftThatBlock··on Apple tells app developers to disclose or remove screen recording code
If it's a HTTPS page, wouldn't that be blocked due to mixed content though? Or is HTTP requests from a HTTPS-loaded script allowed?
