Re:Ask HN: C/C++ developer wanting to learn efficient Python

Check out old Pycon schedules and search for 'efficient(cy)/improve/speed/performance'.
Every Pycon has at least one talk on it and they are usually filled with a variety of tips and insights.
Prioritise by keynote speeches, recent ones, country level ones and then city Pycon.
Re:Firefox desktop extensions coming soon for the upcoming Android rel...
on Friday August 11, 2023 @11:14AM (#37089617)
I am facing this issue in the recent versions of Android Firefox where if I switch apps and come back, or lock and unlock the phone instantly leads to the page refreshing and scrolling back to the point where I was reading.
This is quite frustrating as I have to keep the Firefox app always open or wait a frustrating amount of time for the page to completely load and scroll down. Some pages with progressive loading will take a huge amount of time for the page to completely re-download and if you scroll even slightly, the auto-scroll to where you last left is lost.
I can replicate it with just a single tab and I have excluded Firefox from all my battery saving and memory saving features.

Feels very US related. Twitter in India is all about COVID-19 second wave right now and that hasn't affected the graph even though the sheer mass of English speaking Indians should have had some effect. The only mention I can see is April 28, 2021 twentieth word 'oxygen'.

Yup. ai2html seems to what I was looking for. Didn't spot that because of all the freebird comments.
As for freebird, my search led me to this. https://github.com/freebirdjs/freebird
Seems to be the NYT has an array of pollution sensor IOT across the cities and they are using Freebird to control them. Just my guess.

Can someone please tell me what the name for the technology used to create the graphics is? The text for the place names over the image is highlightable.
I know you can handcraft these by having the text overlay over an exact X,Y on an image but that seems overblown for just these maps than having the text rastered into the image loaded.
So, is there some tool like an SVG creator that helps create these with the responsiveness and everything handled?

As a lay-developer,
I know unicode is what you need for international character support. Oh, so what are the options: utf-8, utf-16, utf-32. I will choose utf-32 just because 32 > 16 or 8.

Whoever developed Gizmodo frontend probably never read any article on it. That's some really bad image load animation. That solid 1 second delay hardcoded in CSS + network delay for lazy loading just leaves the whole article a white canvas while I scroll.
Why would you want to re-hide the image after I scroll out of it? Scrolling back up gives me that 1 second penalty to make the image visible. So frustrating.
