Since Internet Explorer is not supported anymore by most websites Safari has become the new worst browser in regards to having really bad CSS and Web API Support.

One important thing not mentioned here: Apple should make sure to keep up Safari Development. It's by far the worst browser available and the web platform is only growing.

These two might just be the best comments i have ever seen on HN

I'm completely with you on that. WebP should be the smallest, best supported solution right now.

Depending on what Device API you want to use, wrapping your webapp using Capacitor is a solid option.

The company I currently work for still actively uses classic ASP in production and they still actively develop that product. Currently trying to get away asap, because I don't wanna touch spaghetti vbscript from '99 with a ten foot pole.

Imp ist der Beste.

I have originally seen this back on the OG post a couple of months ago. This has really evolved quite a bit in that time and I really enjoy working with primo.

Came here to see if anyone had the same idea

If we ever plan to make a manned mission to that place, we better pack enough water filters and a nuclear reactor, else we solely rely on a mad man in a blue box.

imo sharp is probably the only thing that comes close. It does not have the full feature set of imagemagick, but it is faster

Wrong. It took 20 Million Euros to build the App twice, setting up hotlines, localization, server infrastructure etc. in a very short time.

This is a huge undertaking and budgeted accordingly.

The thing that's really invaluable for me is the firebase javascrpt implementation. Saving the state in a web app and new Objects being addable/editable offline with firebase automatically synchronising when network is available with me doing absolutely NOTHING is absolutely insane. Having just the API isn't really going to cut it.

I really love where I am currently living (Würzburg, South Germany) I'd really love to spend a couple of years in the Provence (South France) I love the food, the landscape and the sea and I really like the climate. But I'd probably come back pretty soon after leaving, because I just love my hometown

Or scrolled through swiping on the phone. I think this would be pretty difficult considering the different pixel densities on touch devices.

I don't think we'll jump straight to mind-controlled (that sounds weird) devices, but I'm pretty confident we'll be there by 2040.

As VR and AR progresses there are great new features like hand tracking, which allows for even higher precision than swiping on your phone. I agree with you, interacting with things through your hands is really intuitive, but I don't think we have unlocked it's full potential.

I don't think smartphones will stay with us for very long. They'll probably be replaced by future technologies less clunky (and yes, I am calling smarthphones clunky) in favor of things like glasses, contacts and implants.

I think our children won't be "anti-smartphone" in the same vain as we are not "anti-mainframe"

Thats pretty unsurprising seeing as Pale Moon is not on-par with the standards and actively trying to not keep up, but instead seem to focus on keep support with legacy tech Mozilla removed quite a while ago.

Also they actively disabled service workers, the very tech that enables PWAs in the first place

Well, you are right about that, but this is the kind of thing I usually see done in things like job descriptions to avoid gendered third person and to sound more personal

"Sie können fließend Englisch sprechen und [...]"

Using "sie" to specify one person in german sounds a lot like "pluralis majestatis" to me. Which is sorta like (but not quite) the "royal we" in english

This is not a mess in german, because it would not be "sie", it would actually be "Sie".

Edit: Typo

I second this

you are completely right, except for the fact that jaywalking isn't a crime in germany.
