As an European, I don't see the problem with what's being argued here. The photo is art, as is, and it should be automatically covered by copyright. You can't download a photo and sell it.

Sorry I don’t think Firefox lost because of extensions. Nobody cared except us. They lost because on Google advertised the living * out of Chrome. Firefox couldn’t compete regardless, it offered an inferior product out of the box.
Again, HN users are not the majority of internet users, which are counted in the billions.
> These companies assume we are too lazy, misinformed, and stupid to do anything.
Correctly assume *
HN is not representative of the general population, a lot of people don’t bother to switch every provider every year, especially when they have obnoxious clauses like “this will renew in 12 months at 500% the price unless you send a signed letter at least 90 days in advance.“ Yes, probably illegal, still doesn’t stop them from trying.
Even I, attentive as I am, still get fleeced every once in a while.
Knowing the history of Firefox, XUL extensions and their demise, this feels more of a limitation.
For those who don't know, Firefox couldn't innovate because any change to the UI broke half the extension ecosystem. This is what happens when you give carte blanche to third party developers on your UI: It's great for the short them.
Ironic and fantastic. So many good ideas are born and die with short-lived projects because no one bothered to extract and polish them as standalone solutions while the project was still alive.
Atom will continue living through Electron (regardless of Pulsar)
I can’t get really past the guy’s attitude. From the get go he’s mocking the work from the marketing to materials, and he’s not doing it in a fun way. Just plain denigrating.
But that wouldn’t be as catchy and as misleading/misunderstood as the original. Anyone reading that one will assume that elephants are purposefully being born without tusk, but it’s just a ratio consequence of tusked elephants dying early.
Maybe it's because I'm specifically trying to push its buttons, but every answer I get from ChatGPT is super boring, cookie cutter and "politically correct".
OP’s input no longer generate anything useful (it says "I don't have access to specific individuals") and obvious questions like "What can I do in Nana Plaza?" are met with the a generic description of a tourist area in Bangkok, including "shopping for souvenirs" at the street market.
You do not "shop for souvenirs" at Nana Plaza unless that's a euphemism.
No experience with the US market, but I thought that thanks to planes like A350 the opposite was happening: new routes between smaller cities thanks to fuel efficiency.
It's possible that in the US you're seeing that as a consequence of few available pilots and their resistance to change (hub and spoke has been around forever in the region)
Completely irrelevant and MDN is infuriatingly “wrong.”
1px is not 1 physical pixel anywhere anymore. It’s just a “base unit” that we all agreed on decades ago. It could be 4 display pixels, it could be 9, it could be fractional if your monitor is downsampling it. It could be thousands if you zoom in. Heck, with PentTile matrix the pixel is never even “1 rgb pixel”
Also 1px is a digital unit and as such it does not have an “inch” equivalent, as much as designers like to insist that it does. Maybe it comes into play when you print pages, but even then the browser and the user can change the scale, so 1/96th of 1 inch is basically trivia at this point and should never be talked about in the context of “browsing the web”, even if it’s part of the CSS spec.
Ironically this is the least accessible solution because it doesn’t let the user change the font size at all (not that it’s particularly common in this day and age, due to full-page zooming being the default since at least 2010)
If you’re talking about the zoom controls in Safari (and any other modern browser), units are completely irrelevant. For the last 15 years, browsers have been changing the size of 1px rather than changing the root font-size. The whole viewport becomes “smaller” so it appears zoomed in.
I'm looking at it on MacBook with 40% brightness and I can tell the difference, but yeah it's only slightly better. Reading the comment I was expecting some orange outline but there's only a very light "gamma" difference.
I thought variable width fonts were pretty heavy? I don’t think you actually save data over loading two separate weights. The savings come in later (3+ weights)
So I ask for a translation and it fails because it times out, giving me an error. And you call that good programming?
I get it that the server translations are better, but currently I’m not seeing any translation at all. You, Google Translate developer, should catch the error and show the offline translation instead.
