ino··on Why I hate your Single Page App
The prev page history shenanigans in safari happen often and they are very infuriating. It happens to me multiple times daily on HN alone!
ino··on iOS 11 Safari will automatically strip AMP links from shared URLs
I think amp in spirit, practice and implementation is an attack on the open web.

I understand how it works and Your arguments so far aren't changing my mind.

Thanks for posting the homepage text, for posterity.

> No, everywhere else it's the normal speed

Faster and slower are relative terms.

> Nothing about AMP is slowing down your normal web page

Nothing about AMP is making the web faster, which it says it's doing on the project homepage. It's making a fork of the web to be shown on Google that is 'faster'.

Google's upside is that the amp website on google is fast while everwhere else it's slower.

Google doesn't want the web to be fast or lean, it incentivizes you to create a fast version to be shown from google while the slow version is shown everywhere else.

Google: fast, everyone else: slow.

And amp positioning and ui display is absolutely a ranking boost.

Amp has ads, including AdSense.

a thousands separator is a good middle ground
ino··on 14 Years After Decriminalizing Drugs, Portugal’s Bold Risk Paid Off
This is the truth. Those guys are there to scam tourists.
ino··on Apple’s refusal to support Progressive Web Apps is a detriment to the web
> Imagine if you could press a button on the page to save that article you're reading for later, and have it available offline next time you need it.

This is available on Safari, the same browser the author is bashing and comparing to IE.

And it's synced across macOS and iOS. It's called "reading list". It works with airplane mode and everything.

ino··on Apple’s refusal to support Progressive Web Apps is a detriment to the web
All browsers still suck at basic functionality.

Here's a quick short list of things that developers still have to write because the current implementations are broken, buggy, inconsistent or absent:

- Date pickers.

- Image upload [1].

- Autocomplete and datalist.

- Range pickers.

- Upload time remaining without javascript.

- Number min/max/step, use up/down keys to increment/decrement.

- Form elements that are unable be styled by CSS.

- Color picker (arguably not as important as the others, and some OS color pickers suck anyway).

[1] Basic things like resize image on the browser prior to uploading. Size, aspect ratio, crop could be hinted by the html or chosen by the user. Server check is still needed, but upload size and times would be reduced drastically.

Shouldn't those be more important?

ino··on European Commission fines Google €2.42B for abusing dominance
Bing and ddg would fill 90% of that void in two days.
ino··on Star Citizen is likely in financial trouble
You can format the text in a more readable way.
ino··on Buying Lotion on Amazon.com
I've also had a taste of amazon bullshit:

I went to buy K&R C from amazon and it costed 150€. That was too much for me, but there was a different version below it: a "used" K&R from a different publisher and different cover, that costed 30€.

The book arrived and it's just photocopies of the original, in the form of a book. Normal Photocopies on what seems to be a just a bit finer than the average photocopy paper.

I've read the book. I still don't know why the original is so expensive, and if the authors/rightholders received any of my 30€.

ino··on Ultraconserved words in use since the last Ice Age
Also 'piña' in spanish and 'abacaxi' in brazilian portuguese.

Abacaxi is such a fun word to say out loud.

ino··on Paint and Press: “Pirate Printer” Turns Street Graphics into Clothing Patterns
It doesn't wash away. They use some expensive paint for the purpose. It takes a while to dry.

And it's not defacing anything that could be defaced, it's mostly steel that hundreds of people step on every day.

ino··on Turning Sublime Text into a Lightweight Python IDE
I'd be very happy if the console output when you build something on sublime was smarter, and parsed the output to make out the file and line where the error occurred, and clicking on the error would take me there.

It wouldn't do step debugging or breakpoints, but at least for scripting and even simple c programs it would work well.

ino··on Apple releases a bit of code to let you put Live Photos on your sites
You can share live photos as a gif or video on whatsapp and maybe other apps.
ino··on Google Earth Redesigned
With Earth you can load KML or KMZ files, and you don't have directions.

Same place on google maps, that works on every browser that supports WebGL: https://www.google.pt/maps/@52.0849891,4.3169948,78a,35y,77....
ino··on Google Earth Redesigned
Specially when https://www.google.pt/maps/@48.8660753,2.291107,562a,35y,160... works alright in other browsers, if you have WebGL capabilities on your system.

Voluntarily putting an always listening, internet connected device in your house, uploading data to the biggest advertising or commerce corporation, possibly man-in-the-middled by NSA?

ino··on WebVR Experiments
Vrml was really bad, everything was static and you couldn't do anything but look around and click.

And I think you're right about the hype, but wrong on the number of potential users. You didn't need special hardware for vrml.

ino··on Sublime Text 3 dev build 3128 released
Awesome update, I really enjoy the live theme and scheme switching, it's so fast and fluid.

I also appreciate the improved markdown syntax highlighting. This was bugging me slightly.

I like the new icon and I think the shadow could be a bit more pronounced and the grey corners a bit less pointy.

Sublime Text is one of my favourite computer programs ever.

No, you can't expect the outcome is to be violently assaulted while doing no harm.

Only in a fascist state.
