Because Bitcoin SV's potentially huge block size restricts who can actually run a node, making it very centralized

They don't want an increase in block size because it makes the network less decentralized. Not "get their money from mining rewards"

We should definitely not continue Apple's approach of soldering every damn component, even if it comes at the cost of performance

I always see people complaining about updates, but I haven't been forced to update for months. Is this some machine-specific configuration or is Windows Insiders' update model different?

Re:Ask HN: Is it me or PWAs are pretty much dead?

One of the issues I find is the lack of compatibility across the various mobile browsers.
As I'm building a PWA, I'm finding certain Web APIs that were intended for PWAs to be incompatible on Firefox/Safari, which defeats the purpose of "write it once/works everywhere on the web". For example, the Web Share Target and install prompt APIs have regressed from a W3 standard to a Chrome-specific standard.
I'm looking into Capacitor/Cordova as an alternative in the meantime.

Thankfully I only had TikTok for a day (ironically copied my TikTok password to the clipboard).

Also, there's been conflicting research if blue light is actually harmful
