> React (ie virtual dom) is a beauty in this regard and if you don’t use it, you would have a hard time creating any gui with a certain level of difficulty

Anyone who didn’t grow up building stuff prior to 2010 would have difficulty.

we don’t need react in 2024. And it’s only making things worse now. Not better.

Zuck was more or less willing to suck off Xi to get into China. Even asked Xi to name his kid. And Xi didn’t care to allow FB regardless of what Zuck was willing to do.

You wouldn’t have much tech left.

There isn’t much on that list anyone is missing out on.

And lol @ scroll bar styling. It’s so poorly implemented in other browsers it isn’t even worth mentioning in this list.

Because professional developers want to get stuff done and get paid.

Is this the same guy who claims racism for laughing at a name? Why would anyone defend him?

The people downvoting are the same people who would be writing “m$”

22 years of .NET. Unsure what mess of DSL for web config there is. It’s easier to onboard new devs now than any other time. The worst time was .NET Core 1.0 release. .NET Core hardly breaks backwards compatibility unless you’re using junk like WF/WCF. Telcos don’t universally use erlang. Academia doesn’t universally use python (actually never met anyone who used it at uni, must be an American thing). Loads of good/bad libs? Have you looked at Ruby/node/c++ etc? That’s a mess of good and bad libs.

The OP and yourself must struggle with programming. shrug

Sounds like you haven’t used .NET. Just peaked over the fence and formed an opinion.

It’s a guideline not to. It’s not a hard rule or forbidden.

100%

They collected millions of people’s data.

> I'm not sure if most browsers under iOS already use blink by the way, as far as I know they are still almost all running WebKit.

Google last year stated they are working on bringing blink to iOS. They called it an experiment but obviously knew iOS was being forced to open up. So it’s happening (not yet but they are working on it). IE6 all over again.

So you’re saying Google does not control the rendering engine and these competitor browsers have contributed functionality to the core rendering engine or added additional rendering functionality that isn’t in chromium?

How many of the alternatives DON’T use chromium ?

HN driven development! It’s so true.

Why because your belovered maintainer is hostile and you can cope?

There are tons of maintainers out there who have poor communication skills who don’t care if you submit a pull request fixing a bug, or raise an issue detailing a bug. They will shrug you off and make you feel like OSS is a waste of time.

Get over yourself and stop getting on your knees to suck him off like he’s some god.

When a maintainer doesn’t want something that’s totally fine if he doesn’t be a cunt about it.

When you try to contribute to a project and the maintainer just says something isn’t a bug and won’t tell you why and blows you off. They are hostile. So while he’s built an awesome tool. He’s obviously a difficult person.

Great product. Hostile maintainer.

> Apple's total control of all aspects of the iPhone platform is harmful to consumers in a way that is not at all obvious, especially not to the less technologically literate.

This would only be true if Android did not exist.

But the reality is it’s not harmful at all.

lol sounds like ebay. Buy a card for $1. They want $35 for shipping. Arrives in an envelope with a $2 stamp.

Of course I post on a throwaway. HN is full of idiots who downvote cos it goes against what they believe in.

Fact is Facebook has been advertising using user data on messenger and WhatsApp. Some believe it’s not possible and some theorise that they analysis the message on the device and send metadata over.

But it doesn’t change the fact Facebook is in control of the whole pipeline.

Apparently changed in 2022 to protect consumers.

lol I’m not going to try convince some nobody who thinks he’s safe cos Facebook makes a claim.

UK has plenty of other problems to solve first with identity thief.

No. Most require some form of identification or matching identification between mobile providers.

“People say trust Facebook because they control the e2e and I can’t imagine an attack vector”

Haha yes they do. Everyone stores their 2fa in 1Password so once that’s stolen by a key longer they’re fucked.

SMS is fine on most countries. It’s just America is dumb and allows number transfers to anyone.

There’s been many stories over the years of people being advertised to from things mentioned in what’s meant to be a private conversation.
