The ads and recommendations on Firetv sticks has been getting worse and worse. I tried modifying it to use a custom launcher but they keep breaking it.
I think I'm going to just trash it and get a Onn. 4k Pro and install projectivy on it.
How much is your time worth? Apple TV is the best experience (not even close to FireTV) for the cost of it. There are ways to get completely ad free if you have time. I've been using a HTPC for close to 20 years for example.
> I've heard so many ridiculous stories about 'AI' that I'm at the point where I initially took this to mean the LLM and not the company had made the request.
Only through its human bots

AI human manipulation could be a thing to watch out for.
> I’m sure I’m way over simplifying this, to the point of stupidity, but tariffs raise prices on foreign goods to encourage the sale and/or development of local goods, don’t they?
What about all the businesses that export products or the ones that rely on imports. Businesses go bankrupt, prices go up for everyone and less people have jobs.
I guess I should have prefaced that if it was made with responsiveness in mind and you took from factor into consideration. Anything can suck. Responsiveness was a huge issue back then not just for Flash.
It didn't suck. BlackBerry had native API support for Air. You could easily port a Flash game using Air and integrate any native APIs you needed. We gave phones and tablets away to any developer who did this. It worked in the browser natively too without the need to install an extension.
But fuck Adobe because they didn't give BlackBerry the latest runtime.
When is the last time you tried Cursor? It definitely doesn't import libraries. It can if you prompt it to but you have control.
I find it works great it you prompt it one step at a time. It's still can be iterative but it allows you to tighten up the code as you go.
Yes you can still go yolo mode and get some interesting prototypes if you just need to show someone something fast but if you know what you're doing it just saves time.
Not the only WordPress host and they have no obligation to anything for an open source project.
This story isn't about them it's about their customers who chose to use their service and how Matt chose to make them collateral damage. That choice has consequences which is what this is.
The internet still exists outside of social media sites designed to keep you there. I hope kids under 16 get addicted to anything else and don't turn to social media when they're old enough.
This is what design systems are for. You only sand UI when you're initially creating the component. Sometimes you combine components in different ways or need to make a one off. It honestly doesn't take all that long if you know what you're doing. A good design engineer is a specialist for this type of role.
In Canada we've had email money transfer since 2003. It used to cost $1 if you had a different bank then the person you were sending to but now it's free. Generally only good for friends and marketplace items though. Can't use it for ecommerce.
Ya. This is why React is popular. It's just a bunch of decently good front end best practices. Popular, not the best X for Y but with easy replacements.
Well said. Also been doing this since the 90s. I still like discovering new sites, blogs and creative things people make. HN is one of the better sites for that.
I agree with some of what the author is saying but add about 10 years of experience. Been coding sites since I was a kid in the mid 90s (I was a web master). I have 10 years working on brochure sites but have spent the last 10 working on major SaaS.
Few things I disagree with:
- The content rant was weird. I've always worked with content designers, instructional designers, or good marketing copy people. Was that about semantics? Sure ya, SEO and a11y.
- Cascading CSS is great until you write a million+ line SaaS app and have 1000 devs working on the code. Then you need scope. The rant is specific to brochure sites.
- SSR. Weird. Do devs really think that? I guess I'm out of touch or my colleagues are better than most.
- A lot of rants seem to be ripping of jr devs. Show them the way! Very yells at cloud.
- CSS nesting I really like. Example of nesting elements inside a class is a hack that should not be done. Nesting is easier to read if done properly.
