Who needs support for archives? I don’t think they’d help in the only case I can think of: corrupted files.

I’m neither a React nor Redux developer, but I work on React codebases. The code I see for simple changes is super verbose compared to what it would look like with simple hooks. I don’t know if it’s just my coworkers that suck at it.

React is fine, but what is going on with RTK? So. Much. Boilerplate.

Sorry but that still doesn’t make sense. 2 days of Firsty are 30 days of local Indian internet. There’s no comparison.

True, but sometimes it’s not.

I wanted to get a SIM card in Albania and they were charging €20 at the airport. After waiting for like 30 minutes for their slow-ass service of 2 people ahead of me, I just tapped 3 buttons and left the airport, getting half the data probably. I wish I had done it sooner anyway.

What do you mean you lost it? Did Google deactivate it? I also have my GV since 2010 and I haven’t connected a US number in a decade (I do have credit on it)

Not in my case. I checked a few times in the last year and it was still the best among those listed, however still not as good as my Thai SIM card with their roaming plans.

That would be me.

I can change country with $60, it doesn’t mean I’m willing to pay $10/MB. I usually can get internet service for $10 or $20/month locally.

If I haven’t sorted out an eSIM before landing, it means I’ll be without internet until I go through customs. Airport WiFi isn’t at all a guarantee. What happens if I really need internet? e.g. some overzealous immigration officer really wants to see my hotel reservation or my return flight ticket.

I’d love to have a service that guarantees I have at least messaging in 60 (ad) seconds.

You make it sound like:

a. Open sourced software is immediately found and used

b. Getting money from software is as easy as placing it online

Neither one is true, nobody will give you money without you putting it some effort, whether it’s through advertising or if you already have a sizable following ready to buy your products. If you’re neither, feel free to open source it and expect zero user and zero income, just have it as a showcase if you’d like.

The Apple TV is an Apple product, with all the pros and cons that carries, but the Fire stick honestly feels like a low quality knockoff of a knockoff.

Anomaly or not, nobody likes to bake at 50C, so that zero line is probably ideal.

The lack of that behavior was the most annoying part of responsive design for a while. I’m glad they figured out they could just use existing attributes, such (positive) changes of behavior happen very rarely on the web.

God no. I tried using it to get some “first message” on Tinder and it’s absolutely awful at it.

> don't have the ability to geoblock

I don’t think anything is stopping them from triangulating if they wanted to, right?

I think this is the worst part of the event.

PayPal is the most annoying service I use because it asks for 2FA for every damn action. So how could they take that action? Surely if they logged in they left breadcrumbs?

The post is mildly infuriating because it doesn’t even try to answer very important that question.

> Not all API's will understand this

Who’s talking about APIs? Most jQuery users I know just use jQuery to submit forms and load some JSON, both of which are covered by fetch without altering the headers manually.

What I’m saying is that it’s not fair to judge a tool for something you don’t have to do with it, namely sending JSON for everything. Fetch also supports native binary uploads, whereas most people base64 data when using $.ajax

> makes writing for the web so much more enjoyable

Writing? I agree. Actually making it work? No way. $('forn').hide() doesn’t work, but the browser will never tell you why (hint: wrong selector).

jQuery errors are often silent, and that’s good enough reason to abandon it.

I wish. My small PRs die by a thousand bikesheds. My large refactors are followed by LGTMYOLO

You dropped about 250000 characters from the first example.

Of course if you load a bunch of code beforehand your code will be marginally better.

The fact is that you probably don’t need to send JSON anymore because fetch accepts the whole form as an object:

  await fetch('/my/url', {
   method: 'POST',
   body: new FormData(form)
  })

Sounds a bit hyperbolic. How are kids being hurt by Google specifically?

It’s only simpler because you know how to use it. For most use cases fetch and async/await is just easier.

The problem is logging into your Google account without your 2FA device or phone number.

The answer in all these cases is having more than one option enabled. I just recently tested my Google and Apple login simulating a loss of phone and computer. It was tough but there are options (e.g. Apple lets a friend be your full 2FA, so you can even recover encrypted data)

1) By definition, if your 2FA device gets stolen, you’re screwed anyway. Goodbye Authenticator. At least with SMS you can get the same number by contacting your carrier.

2) Roaming. Often free to receive texts abroad.

3) True

4) True, but it’s easy to keep it active assuming you at least have data on it

5) True, but it can cost peanuts with the right setup. I’m holding onto my European and Thai SIM cards with less than $5/year. My Google Voice number is free since 2009.

I agree I’d just prefer using Authenticator and Passkeys, but let’s not lie about the advantages of SMS.

A few countries in the area have such a short length unfortunately. I’m lucky to have my European SIM card that I can top up once every 12 months. And even if they deactivate it after 13 months, I can recover it within the successive 12 months if I remember correctly.

If the website uses viewport units Firefox can’t do it either, IIRC. My guess is that the website uses vw only on “mobile”

iPhone Safari.

Judging by the comments, they set the text via viewport units only on smaller viewports.

Yeah but.. who needs this? I don’t think the government would/should invest money into something that few need, has varying needs and is already a commodity?

There are far better services a government could offer, like a nation-wide login system. Imagine asking for a passport by clicking a couple of buttons and taking a selfie.

It doesn’t? From my experience it comes up every time S3 is mentioned, except maybe recently Cloudflare took the spotlight.

Welcome to the internet. Prepare to involuntarily part ways with your money.

Nitpick: interesting how a UX website doesn’t let me resize it since the font is likely set via viewport units.

Look at the bright sight: they could have brought back the 30-pin plug.
