What if I see a browser being "behind" as a benefit? (CVEs excepted)

It's already a feature (click the link domain).


That isn't always a simple, reliable way of finding the historical submissions of the article. Sometimes it's on a domain that has had many other submissions. Sometimes the domain has changed or the content appears in different forms in different places.

It's a longstanding convention to do this, and the audience appreciates it. Not sure why anyone would take issue with it.


It does appear a bit mechanical, like something the system would do. Maybe a submission should always automatically find all previous discussions as an automatic comment.


What ever happened to μC/OS?

Seemed both well documented and well suited to have taken over for the current MCU explosion. I almost never see anyone talk about it.

Looks like it open-sourced in 2020.

Paywall site purposefully trying to crash browser tabs of adblock users.


it's not on purpose,I run a browser with no java scriot, cookies, or dom, and it loads perfectly, but encounter many sites that will doom loop if they encounter partial permissions, for which I have another browser version, and if that does not work, I teather my phone to a computer and use a browser there. I can state that there are many sites that just load for me, and for which I am making no active attempt to bypass any "paywall", which I only become aware of through comments such as yours, though I will add that the way some sites render under the settings I have, makes me strongly suspect that some clever person is having fun at my expense.


what model LLM are you?


iBeacon. They know what shelf you're standing in front of. What products you touch and read.

Ever been in an Apple store? Look up. In the dark voids between the edge-to-edge backlit ceiling. There are secrets there. Watching you.


Not what iBeacon does but an entertainingly dramatic description nonetheless.


The only step missing from their description is having the app- or company- specific app installed. For Apple, that is the Apple Store app which everyone has. If you have BT enabled, it can detect the iBeacon and Apple Store can send that back for tracking.


Wrong.

Macys pioneered it before there even were Apple Stores. Back when most people didn't even know their phones had Bluetooth.


Macy's has Santa clause since 1947 because that is when Miracle on 24th Street came out. And he even knows when you are sleeping.


This will pair nicely with the eps8266 i just flashed after ripping it out of a Wyze plug that required I download their app, updating my operating system first of course, make an account and agree to their privacy policy.


Why is it still called Xcode, if they abandoned the name OS X?


don't go creating problems where we don't need solutions.

I love the fact that this is a thing.


Let me guess, you want a site that is just a singular column of text, plenty of space for ad breaks, and 3/4 of your monitor is just whitespace on the left and right?


I read the article on mobile and I thought it was great. Then I looked at it on my desktop (in Chrome) and found it much harder to read. There are even images literally blocking off whole portions of certain paragraphs. It's not good.


I just re-read the entire thing. It is good. You're misrepresenting or you need to check your browser settings.

No image blocks any paragraph, which even if it had, would be far more forgivable than modern web design. Do you consider any of Apple's modern product pages -- which "block off whole portions of" the page itself by scrolljacking and Clockwork-Oranging you to force you to watch their hypnotic marketing animations -- bad?



screenshots aren't 'proof.' and haven't been for a long time, neither was i ever looking for 'proof'. wow, the amount of webdev butthurt at someone's website who criticized webdevs is astounding.


They are proof of MY experience.

Accusing me of “webdev butthurt” is pretty funny. considering that:

A. I’m not a web dev.

B. I have already said multiple times I agree with the actual message of the article! (I just couldn’t read parts of it on desktop)


Why are you trying to gaslight me? I know what I’m seeing. In my browser (Chrome with default settings), there are certain paragraphs where the first word of every line is partially obscured. There are others where the last word of every line is obscured. It is unreadable.


ps. default chrome is no longer a valid user agent, by pure definition.


I'm not gaslighting you. Are you just willy nilly accusing me of lying that nothing was covered up in MYYYYY browser? What about Lynx? hmm? What a garbage community member you are.


I never said things were covered up for YOU, I said they were covered up for ME. Then you implied I was lying, and now that I provided proof your new argument is “Chrome isn’t a valid user agent”. Sure bud.


You're bad at guessing.


Joke lost in translation. He's implying those who engage in these types of nonsense release notes often add bugs instead of fixing them.
