I'm not sure of the usefulness at the moment. Decorating every component with `useFillHandler('Login.Email', setEmail, { hint: 'Email input' });` is the same effort/value as decorating with `data-testid="email"`.
I can see myself using it if I didn't have to decorate, e.g. by having get_state return the react component tree, and then letting AI figure out which one is the "Login.email" input by itself. E.g. `<MyApp><LoginScreen><input name=email/> ...`
Not to sound like a luddite, but I do question the idea that the skill gap is merely an inconvenience. I suspect learning how to paint or make music changes something in yourself which teaches you some deeper life lessons.
I've heard the phrase (paraphrased): No great work of art was made by a genius, genius comes to you unexpectedly like a gust of wind. It seems that cultivating these opportunities is the most an artist can do, and removing the skill gap seems to be removing the cultivation, the thing that changes you, the essence.
There seems to be a few of these inherent deep workings that we as a people keep coming back to, without knowing what they are or how to discuss them (personally at least!). Not to rain on your parade OP, the project looks fun and super useful to a lot people! Just something I ponder on at times.
AdGuard AdBlocker (MV3 Beta): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adguard-adblocker-m...
Copy and pasting the ublock custom filters into AdGuard seems to work.
Never leaving your subscriptions (never using the algorithm recommended feed) is not a solution because of second-hand toxicity, e.g. political posts in meme subreddits in an election year.
If anyone knows of a solution that works in Manifest V3 I'd love to hear it!
Encouraging devs to have their changes include all modules, even those that are old and mature and don't need to be touched, is a good way of ensuring this doesn't build up to where it becomes a problem.
There's a lot of criticism against Apple for not doing things in the right order. Repairability is one of them. Would it have been better for their devices to be easier to repair from the original iPhone? Sure. Would it have been better for you, me, or Apple to focus on repairability above all else? Absolutely not.
In the meantime, Apple have built a device service model that looks like this for the average consumer:
Having a high degree of confidence that the product will be serviceable with OEM parts, which do not impact the resale value by causing buyer confusion, guarantees of these replacement parts working, having these parts available for years and years, and that the company is not going to disappear, through a network of nearby first and third party repair shops, at a transparent and reasonable price.
Like most criticism of Apple, there is a concentrated yelling at one particular tree, while missing the forest around. It can be valid criticism and missing the bigger picture at the same time.
By garbage I don't mean low-quality, I mean systematically bad. From sports where you have to look out for slave labour and greenwashing; clothing where you have to look out for PFAS, microplastics, ocean pollution; food where you have to look out for various poisons and almost-poisons categorised by the western diet; tech where you have to look out for privacy and all else covered on HN; online services where you have to look out for enshittification, addiction and depression caused by social media; and so on.
Nothing is simple anymore. If you haven't proved or signalled that you are on the right side of history before I start consuming your content, you get a critical eye. I wish it wasn't like this, but it has to be, because of the garbage world we/certain systems have created.
- some browsers do tabs below the address bar
- Firefox has tab scrolling, minimum tab widths, and the tab itself is a floating box, not a part of the page visually.
- Firefox's address bar is also different, to me it seems potentially also should be A/B tested with directly copying Chrome
Taking personal preference out of it completely, it would seem the most used browser by virtue of this fact has the best UI, so why not just copy it?
I'm anticipating replies along the lines of, Chrome doesn't have the best UI, but the numbers don't lie, something is going on. Even just offering it as an option would be a good way to test the theory. (I know Firefox has themes and customisations to make it similar, but it's not the same, it's a hurdle and the end result isn't the same, and Mozilla doesn't seem interested in making this pursuit easy).
I found this web page which has a great way to visualise it, with their tracks overlaid on famous places on Earth: https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/TraverseMapsEarth.html
The one in the video is the orange line crossing Sydney Harbour Bridge with Smoky mountain ahead of them and to their right.
Post-mortems are as short as possible because technical people usually write them and have better things to do. Getting an LLM to do them will only remove this feedback channel, as it is much easier to ignore a LLM suggesting more time or money is spent on quality than it is to ignore a human.
