It is like polish Watergate: the prosecutor has been criticizing minister Ziobro and already lost her job (not only her, this problem is now on EU table and European trials say polish gov is breaking the law doing this) and now she learned minister Ziobro was spying her (and probably is still doing this)
Sounds like the best time to start your container-house building company
Re:Show HN: Nyxt Browser 2.0.0 on Thursday May 20, 2021 @02:17PM (#27224975)
I am sorry but you are wrong. I remember times when first company forked WebKit to make their WebKit based browser (it was apple creating safari, or if my memory is wrong it was Google and their chrome). Mozilla foundation was much upset they didn't choose Gecko. But the company (Apple?) said it was because easiness of own implementation. Gecko was too hard to adapt.
Reminds me about the Czech song "szukam cię Miłoszu z Warszawy" where the pal is called "frajer" too, so Czech people use it too
Re:jQuery 3.6.0 on Tuesday March 02, 2021 @02:30PM (#26319361)
It is still bundled in WordPress and WP is still most popular CMS (30% sites on the web runs on it)

It is not necessary to use jQuery when you build site but tons of tutorials on the web is using it so people does.

Plus wp-admin still loads jQuery for itself so it is in use even unnoticed.

Re:Ask HN: Why is desktop computing still so slow? on Saturday January 23, 2021 @04:47AM (#25881031)
Have you bought a new laptop recently? Because I just switched from 7 years old decent laptop to a new decent in December. And I have completely different feelings than you: I didn't know my software stack can be even faster than it was but it is!

System load was 10 seconds and is 10 seconds again (Linux here) but for example starting phpstorm is like 2-3 times faster.

I had a few GB big project which was scanned for 30 minutes when loaded first time in phpstorm. Now it takes max 10 minutes.

Re:Wordpress market share keeps growing on Monday December 28, 2020 @02:01PM (#25562069)
You are in a wrong comments thread. This is a post about how popular with is WordPress and it is popular because you install plugins there and have site without completely any programming language. There are no ops (or at least they are not a part of wordpress success), there are people who know how to buy shared hosting and that's it.
