Looking at the demo linked in the blog post, I can make a similar quality thumbnail for a smaller size than the delta between the static and progressive AVIFs

Won't that increase the total size of the image for each pass?

What exactly is AVIF doing in this case that I can't do with two <img> tags at a smaller size? I can easily create a thumbnail that beats the AVIF quality in less than the 5KB delta between the static and progressive version in Squoosh.

Yes, if you look at the demo, the "progressive" AVIF loads a visible image at 8.5KB, and at that point, it looks better than the progressive JXL. However, that is ALL the AVIF shows until the image has fully loaded. At around 98KB, the JXL looks significantly better, and at around 240KB already looks really close to the final image, while the AVIF still looks terrible. At 280KB when the AVIF finally loads, they look identical.

I could, but DoH/DoT seems very involved to run yourself, and sometimes I need to give a recommendation to someone less tech-savvy.

It's not the same thing at all. Mullvad DNS blocks all ads across the system.

Quad9 doesn't have an adblocking DNS service though, so it's not really a replacement.

I get the argument, but I feel like most issues arise from incentive structure rather than not being able to define things precisely enough.

Plus it's important that the law can be read by the average citizen as well. Not that current US laws are, but, it's an ideal to strive towards...

"space" is just a common English term for this kinda thing, as you can see in any dictionary ever:

Collins: "A particular kind of space is the area that is available for a particular activity or for putting a particular kind of thing in."

Cambridge: "an empty area that is available to be used"

why do you think Twitter called them spaces in the first place?

Looking for work that primarily involves talking to people about things, could be PM, DevRel, marketing, you can even hire me to roast your startup. I have a decent bit of broadcast background as well so if you're working on something realtime or just doing livestreams I could be a good fit.

our rights have largely held up even in the absurd world we live in, and the constitution continues to be a thorn on the side of those trying to abridge them. what we are seeing now is the conclusion of decades of eroding our rights and the tower still refuses to topple. though of course we're going to have a lot of work to do fixing it up after all is said and done.

so asking for money is also part of that freedom right?

it probably already is in the public domain under US law, this just gives it the same status across jurisdictions

yeah it should really be CC0

Turks did not really want it to become Türkiye in English, it was a government push. Most of us prefer having the name of our country be pronounceable and writable by anyone talking about it, and no one will even notice if you call it Turkey.

> On iOS they only pop up the menu when they try to access the required functionality, and there's a limited number of things they can do.

great! your web browser does the exact same thing!

> 26 more potential permissions [1] from a browser are fine because a) it's just a single permission window and b) the browser exists in total vacuum from all other user experiences.

your argument is a non-sequitur; if I go install a firmware flasher, it is going to ask for permission to access the device I am flashing no matter what. on macos it will ask for "full disk access" for all your disks! on windows it will ask me "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" (what changes????). and then after that the app has to look at all of your devices and ask you which you want to use, and if there's a bug in the code, it might operate on the wrong one.

those OS permissions are confusing and obtuse, dare I say useless, and yet they still exist, and of course they cause fatigue!

whereas if you go to a webusb tool, the browser presents you a list of devices, with only the ones the app can use visible, and the app never gets more permission than it needs. it is simply a better UX and DX than the "permissions" cloud you're yelling at.

> Permission popups fatigue

Native apps also have this, and it's worse because they usually just ask for sweeping admin access on windows, unlike WebUSB which just brings up a device selection menu

trivial for you maybe but many people don't know how and where to find the right firmware for their specific device, and can be in environments where the UF2 volume isn't as obvious (e.g. using a phone)

that's not going to work for use cases like the https://webmd.pro where you're interfacing with hardware from other manufacturers

is there any reason not to use SMS/MMS gateways (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_gateway) for your hobby projects?

biggest mistake of my life

EV's are only quieter inside of the car, at speed they're just as loud as ICE cars, sometimes louder. [0]

If we're going to reduce car noise, the only option is to make them go slower and move them away from residential areas.

It seems to be because HN is forcing HTTPS, it works when using HTTP.
