This is troubling because I also left namecheap for porkbun some years ago. While porkbun is good I am willing to move my 50+ domains to a worthy alternative when the time comes, however for now I’m going to wait and see how this story unfolds.
He did treat Woz terribly in many ways, but without SteveJ, Woz's inventions would never have found the audience they did. I think Woz is OK with how things turned out.
I can understand, I’ve had some awful bicycle accidents while not wearing a helmet and the helmet would have made no difference. My knees, hands and elbows have been through a lot but I have never hit my head. Even while skateboarding the one time I hit my head a helmet would not have helped. In hindsight I should have worn knee pads a lot more often but then I wouldn’t be able to tell if it’s gonna rain or not from the feeling in one of my knees :)
However if I had to ride on a public road with cars zooming pass me recklessly I would absolutely wear a helmet on a bicycle.
And there are countries where everyone rides a bike, and they are not usually the ones with mandatory helmets. When you hit someone with a bike you are less likely to kill them than when you hit them with a car, so more bike riding means less deaths, without even considering the effects of air pollution.
Helmets are fine for sport riding, but inconvenient if you want to ride 5 minutes to the shops on a whim. And that kind of riding is usually less intense and safer, I presume, anyway. Football has helmets, walking doesn't.
Those countries also have a higher number of brain injury cases vs countries where people wear helmets.
If you are hit by a car a helmet will do approximately nothing. However there are a lot of accidents that happen where you are not hit by a car where a helmet will help. (and even more when knee and elbow pads are what you need)
A helmet can make a big difference in saving your brain if you are hit by a bike. Or if you hit a slippery spot and fall off your bike. Or - hundreds of other things that happen.
cars are too big and heavy for a helmet to make a difference - but they are not all that can go wrong. Even in car heavy US there is more than a car that can harm you.
Well unironically you would be safer if you did that! Although it's a trade off between looking ridiculous and being safe. I personally don't think bike helmets should be mandatory because it puts people off riding a bike (including me), but do acknowledge that they do make an individual safer.
They do and it’s awful. I’m making a browser based game and it works great on desktop browsers but Apple refuses to allow css filters on canvas forcing you to build your own filters and apply them to image data. The web audio api is also a pain to get working properly on iOS safari and a bunch of other arbitrary but feels like they’re intentional obstacles found only on iOS. I’m almost considering just using webgl instead of a 2d context but who knows what obstacles apple is hiding there also it will make everything so much more verbose for no real gain.
Not even in the days of IE was I ever this frustrated.
> Not even in the days of IE was I ever this frustrated.
I've been web devving since the days of IE as well and this reeks of hyperbole. Maybe things are different for browser games, but for me, everything has vastly improved since those days.
Well maybe we are doing different things. Back in those days Javascript and CSS were much simpler people would cry about the position of elements and easy stuff like that. However I have to manually manage web audio api memory because if you don't release the buffers and other things the memory won't get released until the tab in closed, so it's easy for a tab to inexpertly take up 6gigs plus of ram (1min of audio is ~80mb), it's impossible to know that, that is happening unless you know, so you have this missive memory leak that even refreshing the tab won't fix and you have no idea why it happening, that is true frustration. You have to manage memory in canvas too especially if you are using bitmaps and if you are on iOS because it will crash the page because you looked at it wrong. I don't know anything that would have crashed the page in IE back in the day. So no, it is not hyperbole :)
Sorry, I shouldn't comment before I have my coffee. Saying it "reeks of hyperbole" was unnecessarily rude.
That does sound frustrating. You're working with APIs that I don't usually touch (audio, canvas) so it's not surprising that I haven't experienced that. I was thinking back to the days I had to support IE 8, trying to debug weird issues in production like scripts not working because `console.log` wasn't defined unless the developer tools were opened.
To be fair, he's completely right. I have a lot of experience with IE6 and safari on iOS, and while IE6 was bad and did weird shit, Safari is much worse. It's amazing that things can work in any browser, without ever even thinking about it, but then on Safari you get weird behaviour, straight up rendering bugs because of some weird race conditions with the engine or even crashes.
The latest issue that I've noticed yesterday is the button nav bar on the screen when running PWAs. The button is over the bottom navbar of the PWA, and despite apple themselves coming up with the API to inform the browser about safe display areas, it doesn't work in PWAs on iOS. PWA mode on iOS != non PWA on iOS. They often behave completely different and you often have to use JS for basic things to work, like clicking a link(yup, this was a thing for years).
I tried something similar a couple years back, and fully agree. Safari is atrocious for trying to create a good mobile experience. It almost feels intentional.
> US censorship, US surveillance, US narratives (patriot approved)
This is the status quo for a lot of US media, but TikTok is actually much worse. The "US narratives" in this case are in service of Trump, possibly behind closed doors as table stakes for the purchase agreement.
I wish there was an explanation to this. I clicked a few squares on the map until it crashed my phones browser. I tried again and selected chat from the top menu and it showed me a bunch of channels and a user list but no way to chat or do anything really.
The only <input> that is annoying to style is the “select” one because it’s hard to style the “options”. The rest seem reasonable and quite customizable in my experience.
I admit I haven’t had to use the date picker in a long time but I looked at the MDN for an example of the default implementation of it and it seemed fine on my iPhone. What issues have you encountered with it? I imagine it’s a different story on desktop browsers.
It’s been good on mobile for a while, and it’s a travesty on desktop.
Then if you want something a little bit complicated you have to do it all yourself.
- What if I need a date range instead of a single date?
- What if I have excluded dates? (Only weekdays/only in the future/blackout dates)
- What if I want to show other metadata with each day? (Like in a calendar showing each day with some metadata next to it)
Beyond “give a whatever the system thinks is a good date picker that I have no control over” the input with type date isn’t very useful.
