Range = this new battery’s capacity / some car’s average “MPG”

This produced an “exact” number out of consumption averages. The public doesn’t yet know what “250 kWh” means.

They put it into a spreadsheet, but the bug list exceeded 65,536 rows so it was silently dropped.[1]

You're technically right, but then please note how the phrase "not all men…" is handled by social media.

I don’t know about you, but if I walk into a restaurant’s toilet and see the river flowing below the hole,[1] I’d say that it might need a little more development. I don’t think literal shit rivers can be part of any developed nation. Objectively. Much less rivers where people fish and swim in.

    [1] I saw it in person in Laos and also in this popular video https://fb.watch/nQ-Xvh9iLO/

It was a snarky comment due to the “manual” centering done on the website (i.e. it uses spaces)

I gave it a quick look and I am almost certain that this person is trolling us. The website literally mentions it uses “plain HTML” when in reality the website is “plain text”. There’s zero formatting HTML here. No headers, no paragraphs, no lists, not even a <center>

The little HTML and CSS it uses actively renders the website worse. The poster is a troll.

No. If you drop all the style and stop manually wrapping text via \n, the website would work fine on mobile.

The problem is that OP probably doesn’t know the basics of HTML so they’re shoehorning whatever they know onto a webpage.

It’s very common to find amateurish websites that work correctly only if you delete code they added.

In the US maybe, in Europe I feel that they’re not the norm.

I think that’s great, I don’t know what’s taking so long. ATM that dispense money have been around for decades, why isn’t the other way around the default by now? Using the ATM literally saves the bank money.

Maybe you don’t get rich, but 7,500 tax-free dollars for a 2-minute job sound like a good deal, once you get the hang of it.

Maybe I should switch careers…

> the new binaries on it are written in Swift

It appears to be 50:50 with Obj-C for now. See how the Obj-C line in the "Evolution of the programming languages" chart is still growing steadily. I can see Swift taking the majority of new code for the next year though.

I don't find this useful. The alternative is simple:

- do not indent code that way

- do not align comments on the side

Before

    int someDemoCode( int fred,
                      int wilma)

    ×();                          /* comment */ 
    print("hello again!\n");      /* comment */ 
    makeThisFunctionNameShorte(); /* comment */
    

After

    int someDemoCode(
      int fred,
      int wilma
    )

    ×(); /* nobody */ 
    print("hello again!\n"); /* needs */ 
    makeThisFunctionNameShorte(); /* aligned comments */

This kind of control over indentation and alignment borders on OCD. You should be using a code formatter anyway, so indentation is auto-fixed.

I think KitKat already peaked when Melon KitKat was released.

> - harder navigation as now I need an extra "bookmarks" UI instead of existing tab lista

This is an HN thread about an extension that offers extra UI to save, manage your tabs. It's evident that the one-line-of-tabs UI is not enough for your use case.

Bookmarks already definitely have better UX for organization, they can even be renamed, tagged, searched… natively!

> Did you notice the word 'sessions' in the title? That's for organizing

My point is that you can store your "sessions" in a bookmarks folder. Browsers have made it excessively easy to "save all tabs" and "open all bookmarks" already. "Saving a tab session" is literally indistinguishable from "Saving all tabs as bookmarks", you're just duplicating a native browser feature by installing a 3rd party extension that has access to your entire browser history.

It's definitely true that it's very common to have a lot of tabs open, my mother's iPad has 99+ tabs open at all times, but that's not because she needs them.

Browser vendors have dealt with that by adding a "tab expiration" setting, where tabs can be deleted after a certain amount of days. I think it's a fantastic idea, just like a self-emptying trash bin.

Unless your job is specifically to collect information, then you probably don't have time to comb through everything you find online. While it's easy to want to catalog everything, the sanest option is to default on our digital debts frequently.

> I have ~350 tabs open … stock browsers suck

I can’t but think of https://xkcd.com/1172

Products are designed with a certain workflow in mind. Back when people would open a website at a time, nobody needed tabs. Now everyone uses tabs, but relatively no one needs to organize their tabs. It’s acceptable that browser don’t make their UI extra complex for a vocal minority.

Tabs are not files. If you need to save things, use bookmarks. If you don’t, don’t keep clutter around. Do you still keep all the files in the download folder since 2013?

I think you’re talking about browser bookmarks.

Open tabs are not books, they’re mail. You deal with it and discard what you don’t need. Heck we even have browser history to find what we saw in the past.

Your browser doesn’t have a history tab?

I’ll never understand people who hoard tabs. Every time I’m done with something, I can close all the tabs in a few seconds. A single search can generate 15 tabs, and then after the solution is found I close them all. Anything I can’t handle now is pinned or added to Read Later, depending on the urgency.

Same goes with the files on my desktop (which is also the download folder). Select all, delete. Multiple times a day.

The first KitKat wasn't as good as the latest KitKat, as it wasn't KitKat enough

I'd like to report a bug, or two:

- there's no recipe for the cow

- 1/8 of a cow is reported as $0.00

https://recursiverecipes.schollz.com/recipe/refried-beans?am...

And yet people will load a megabyte of JavaScript just to create a date picker that looks nice while you need about 20 characters to get a bugfree one in HTML: <input type="date">

Everything you described is nice, but in the end it’s still up to the developer to support it and especially to choose its behavior. I can technically use “when reduced motion, html {animation: shake 1s infinity}”

My idea of “user agent” is Safari’s Reader Mode.

Apple was already punished for this behavior in Italy[1], but of course they still don't care about it elsewhere. I had to deal with it again in the UK and they had to "research" the subject before getting back to me on the phone. I had to send them a link to their own apple.com site.

The computer was “lost” for a whole month before being found and 2 months before being returned. You should claim losses immediately anyway so probably he could have gotten the refund before even knowing it was found.

If this is doable, then why are power-hungry satellite dishes currently required to connect to Starlink?

> without the two interfering

I’m no radio expert but I think this was solved when they managed to handle a hundred thousand connected cellphones in a single stadium.

npm will take in anything that has a package.json file with two fields, so it’s un/fortunately rather dumb.

Nothing stops you from prepacking your files, but a lot of node developers are ironically allergic to build tools.

Locally, never ever use barrel files. If you manage the entire project, just import the specific file you need.

However when exporting a public/published module it can become onerous to ask the user to import 7 files instead of 7 items from one module.

In a perfect world, this would not be much of an issue because tools would cache these resolutions/imports and their treeshaken code. In the current world, you could prepackage your project even on Node, so that there’s only one file to load, and no extra unused code.

Same, I only hear about Patreon on YouTube.
